Each helmet is handmade in Japan, and the production of this unique and intricate product requires over 50 people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The Shoei RF-SR helmet design fits both short- and long-distance riders&#8217; needs thanks to its comfortable yet dense and aerodynamic shell design.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The impact-resistant, multi-density expanded polystyrene foam liner will keep your head in one piece and significantly reduce road noise.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Shoei\u2019s hand-laid, a six-layer matrix of interwoven coats of fiberglass, organic fibers, and resin that make up the RF-SR&#8217;s outer shell is said to be the company\u2019s strongest, lightest, and most elastic combination of materials ever used.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The emergency quick-release system allows the cheek pads to come out and the helmet to come off by simply pulling down on the two red tabs.

Its rigorous dissection during its time in the wind tunnel test room has led to a near-perfect airflow balance, which is achieved through uniquely positioned air vents that optimize air intake and improve negative pressure suction.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">A big lower vent shutter makes opening and closing these vents easy, even with <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/gloves\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">gloves<\/a> on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Face Shield<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The CWR-1 face shield on the Shoei RF-SR helmet features protection from the sun\u2019s damaging UV rays, as well as a (mostly) fog-resistant, transparent, and distortionless field of vision.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/visors\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">visor<\/a> is also easy to lock and has rubber ribbing on the tops and bottom edges that add extra durability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Base Plate System<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The RF-SR base plate system not only holds the face shield in place, but Shoei\u2019s patented spring-loaded technology also creates a windproof and waterproof seal.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The helmet\u2019s adjustable dial and overall design make changing face shields quick and easy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"7619\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" data-init-height=\"768\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BVBG4FIB5LBRSKGU37HSHURM5Q.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"375\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/octane\/BVBG4FIB5LBRSKGU37HSHURM5Q.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cycleworld.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Comfort<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">3D interior padding design better matches the unique form of a rider\u2019s head.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Variety of cheek pads are available for a tighter fit and helmet stabilization.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Interior padding is easily removed for washing, replacing, and adjusting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Pros<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some of the pros:<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Price Tag<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the Shoei RF-SR helmet&#8217;s top-selling points is that it&#8217;s priced and marketed as an &#8220;entry-level&#8221; helmet, making it about $200 less than other helmets of comparable quality. We found this product drastically outperforms the entry-level title and is suitable for any rider. You can\u2019t find a higher class of helmets at a lower price.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Strength<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Unfortunately, we got to see the helmet\u2019s strength firsthand when one of our testers collided with a motorist. Though they knocked their head on the concrete with considerable force, they didn\u2019t lose consciousness and suffered no head trauma.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"7624\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"700\" height=\"323\" data-init-height=\"452\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/rf-sr-onbike2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"323\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenridersnow.com\/docs\/stories\/4636\/width700\/rf-sr-onbike2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Womenridersnow.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Comfort<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Some motorcycle helmets sacrifice durability and strength for comfortability, but that\u2019s not the case with the RF-SR. The shell construction and design translate to superior strength as well as a comfortable fit. Our testers weren\u2019t exhausted or overly hot even after riding with the RF-SR for hours on end.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Quiet<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Perhaps the Shoei RF-SR\u2019s most standout quality is its ability to shut out external noise. The noise level difference compared to the other brands we tested was night and day. We had no trouble hearing our music when riding at 70 miles per hour, while the other brands rendered our music inaudible.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Ventilation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The placement and functionality of the RF-SR\u2019s vents are some of the best we&#8217;ve experienced. They are a breeze to open and close, and you can feel them working. Most helmets, on the other hand, had vents that were pretty much just for show as we could barely feel any difference between the open and closed positions.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Cons<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some of the downsides:<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Fogging<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Shoei RF-SR\u2019s comfortable and airtight feel comes with the occasional fogging of the visor, which lingers for <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">riders who require eyeglasses<\/a>. Shoei\u2019s pin-lock insert can defog the visor, but you\u2019ll still have a problem with your glasses. However, Shoei has the Air Mask 3 Universal breath box as an available add-on, which minimizes the problem.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"7725\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"750\" height=\"267\" data-init-height=\"400\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Shoei-Transition-Shield-Field-1.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"267\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.citybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shoei-Transition-Shield-Field.jpg?resize=750%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cityride.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Straps<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The D-ring and straps on the RF-SR are tricky to attach and detach, especially while wearing gloves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Who is the Shoei RF SR Best For?<\/h3>\n<p>While the RF-SR can be used by anyone, it\u2019s best for more serious and professional riders due to its high-end nature and the corresponding price.<\/p>\n<p>While the RF-SR can be used by anyone, it\u2019s best for more serious and professional riders due to its high-end nature and the corresponding price.<\/p>\n<p>Its extensive wind tunnel testing and insistence on professional rider feedback were conducted with the expert motorcyclist in mind.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who Should <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Not<\/span> Buy the Shoei RF SR?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A casual rider may want to look elsewhere for their helmet needs. Everyday motorcyclists will get the most bang for their buck, as the helmet\u2019s multitude of features makes up for the above-average price tag.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Shoei RF-SR also may not be suitable for riders who require glasses and are unwilling to pay for the Air Mask, as the resultant fogging issues can be both an annoyance and a hazard.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Do I Need To Know Before Buying a Shoei RF SR?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some things to consider before rushing out to buy this helmet.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Head Size<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Get an accurate idea of your head size to ensure you choose the correct helmet.

Take the helmet out for a test run if you can for a first-hand experience or read up on customer reviews.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">How Does the Shoei RF-SR Compare?<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s review how the Shoei RF-SR compare with the other helmets.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Shoei RF SR vs RF 1200<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ll notice several drastic differences between these helmets. Here\u2019s where they differ, as well as the commonalities they share.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Similarities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Both helmets have the same intermediate oval design, while the basic layout of the vents and interior padding is also similar.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The helmets are composed of comparable materials and possess similar safety certifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Differences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The RF1200\u2019s price tag is about $200 more than the RF-SR\u2019s. However, the RF1200 comes with the Max-Dry System II interior liner, which absorbs and dissipates sweat faster than the RF-SR\u2019s.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The RF1200 has a more compact visor. However, it\u2019s positioned slightly higher than the RF-SR\u2019s. This subtle difference becomes more apparent while riding in a more upright position because the visor\u2019s height forces most people to tilt their head down to view the instrumental panel.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">A larger vent size and an extra vent on top give the RF1200 better ventilation than the RF-SR.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The RF1200 offers around 30 color options, while the RF-SR has, at most, five.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Arai DT-X vs Shoei RF-SR<\/h3>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"7631\" width=\"400\" data-init-width=\"1200\" height=\"533\" data-init-height=\"1600\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1123.jpg\" data-width=\"400\" data-height=\"533\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wristtwisters.com\/attachments\/img_1123-jpg.152205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wristtwisters.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/arai-vs-shoei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shoei RF-SR and competitor Arai DT-X <\/a>exhibit a few interesting similarities, the two products also offer significant differences.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Similarities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The general structure of both the Arai Dt-X and the Shoei RF-SR are nearly identical.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Both helmets have more or less the same quality and safety certifications.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The fiberglass construction materials are similar.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Both helmets offer different helmet sizes, interior padding, and various color choices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"7634\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"1540\" height=\"284\" data-init-height=\"874\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Arai_Vs_Shoei-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"284\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revzilla.com\/blog_content_image\/image\/59709\/redline_hero\/Arai_Vs_Shoei-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Revzilla.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Differences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The Shoei RF-SR only comes in an intermediate oval shape, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/arai\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Arai<\/a> features three different internal head shapes.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Contrasting Arai DT-X \u2018s single-piece interior liner, the RF-SR has a dual-layer, multi-density design. This additional feature is a softer density foam on top for immediate impact absorption coupled with an outer layer of medium-density foam that offers better protection in higher-speed impacts.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">The Shoei RF-SR has a better overall comfort level.
