Shoei RF-1400 Motorcycle Helmet

The Shoei RF-1400 is the latest iteration of the iconic full-face helmet lineup that has been a staple in the motorcycle community since its first introduction in 1984. Years of research and development have led to the evolution of this helmet, blending superb quality, stylish design, utmost comfort, noise reduction, and uncompromised safety that only Shoei is prepared to provide.

At the heart of the RF-1400 is the company's commitment to delivering top-tier performance and protection. The helmet's aerodynamics and ventilation have been meticulously refined through extensive wind tunnel testing to help evolve the design forward. Shoei has managed to wring out the RF-1200's aerodynamics with a 6% reduction in lift and a 4% reduction in drag, while also maximizing ventilation to ensure the airflow over the rider is optimized.

Noise reduction has been a key focus in the development of the RF-1400. Despite being the lightest SNELL-approved full-face helmet in Shoei's new offerings, the RF-1400 does not sacrifice important characteristics that most lighter helmets compromise on, such as wind noise. The compact, aerodynamic shell shape, coupled with the new noise reduction technology, ensures a quieter riding experience without blocking the informative sounds of the road.

The shape of the spoilered shell was designed in a wind tunnel, and through that testing, Shoei was able to provide a quieter shell design while also tweaking the shape of the all-new CWR-F2 shield system using their Vortex Generator technology to displace wind turbulence. Additionally, the new airtight window beading system provides a windproof and waterproof seal, ensuring a tight fit that feels as secure as turning a pickle jar.

Shoei's proprietary technology integrates a matrix of hand-laid, interwoven layers of fiberglass and lightweight organic fibers to deliver a helmet that not only meets SNELL M2020 and DOT ratings but is also Shoei's strongest and most elastic shell, providing the wearer with optimal impact absorption. This is further enhanced by the dual-layer, multi-density EPS foam liner, which aids impact absorption and allows unrestricted airflow through the precisely placed channels.

The RF-1400 is designed to cater to a wide range of riders, from track-day enthusiasts seeking the thrill of the race to adventurers and touring enthusiasts looking for visionary design and top-tier safety features. Whether you're a fan of Marc Márquez or simply appreciate the artistry in motion, the RF-1400 offers a sophisticated blend of performance, comfort, and protection that sets a new standard for riders.
