New Shoei RF-1100 Helmets


We have received our first shipment of Shoei RF 1100 Helmets.

Shoei has this to say about the update to the RF 1000:

Building on the strongest pedigree in the motorcycle helmet business, SHOEI is proud to introduce the all-new RF-1100. Since it’s 2003 inception, the RF-1000 has enjoyed great success, but that didn’t stop SHOEI’s world-class development team from throwing out the molds to build a brand-new helmet from scratch. Combining customer and dealer requests with advanced technology, modern testing practices, and 50 years of helmet-building experience, SHOEI is pleased to deliver the finest sport-touring helmet that money can buy. The all-new, groundbreaking RF-1100—where aggressive styling meets SHOEI’s unrivaled attention to detail, and the evolution of perfection is once again met.

Super Street Bike has a review up, if you are interested:

I’ve been wearing the RF-1100 for almost a week now and can say I have yet to find a quieter, more comfortable helmet for my head. Variable ventilation is possible thanks to different combinations of the six possible vents. With all the vents closed, road noise is virtually eliminated. The vents are easily located and operated while wearing gloves. While some vents only blow air on the face, the RF-1100’s front vent channels air to the forehead. This is key for those who wear contacts to keep them from drying out while riding. With all the vents open, a strong cooling effect can be felt, especially on hot days.
