Shoei RF-1400 Shakin Helmet

Shoei RF-1400 Shakin Helmet:

• An all new shell provides the lightestSNELL M2025andDOTcertified helmet Shoei has in the current offerings and the shells shape helps better manage drag, lift and unwanted noise.

Design Concept:

• The wind tunnel tests have refined the RFs aerodynamics and ventilation to help evolve the design forward. Shoei managed to wring out theRF1200s aerodynamics with a 4% reduction in drag and 6% reduction in lift. The compact, aerodynamic shell shape is made to maximize ventilation as air flows over you while doubling as the lightestSNELLapproved full-face helmet in Shoeis new offerings. No rider wants to forfeit important characteristics that most lighter helmets compromise on, such as wind noise. But the RF-1400, while being the lightest in the lineup, leaves no room for earache with its new noise reduction technology.

Quietness:

• 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 newCWR-F2 shield system using their Vortex Generator technology to displace wind turbulence. An all new, airtight window beading system provides a windproof and waterproof seal so tight, youd think it was your turn to take a crack at opening the pickle jar. The RF-1400 also sports some more voluminous cheek pads and removable ear pads to help soften the blow of wind noise.

Shell andEPSLiner Construction:

• Proprietary technology integrates a matrix of hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass and light-weight organic fibers to deliver a helmet that not only meetsSNELL M2025andDOTratings, but is Shoeis strongest, most elastic shell providing the wearer with optimal impact absorption. Adding to that, the RF-1400 is lined with a dual layer of multi-densityEPSfoam liner that also aids in impact absorption and allows cool air to flow unrestricted through the channels created in the liner. The precise placement of theEPSmaterial helped shape the RF-1400s compact, lightweight design.

Shield System:

• Shoei ditched the old baseplates from the RF-1200 and completely reworked the design to bring you the
