RF-1200

Compact, lightweight aerodynamic design\nThe state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility at SHOEIs Ibaraki factory is an integral part of the helmet design process.Thanks to time well spent in the tunnel from its very beginning stages of development, the RF-1200 boasts a more compact and aerodynamic shell than its predecessor, earning praise and appeal as SHOEIs lightest Snell-certified full-face model to date. Additionally, the RF-1200 offers a reduction in wind noise without blocking the roads informative sounds thanks to its optimal shell aerodynamics and liner components that have been designed to prevent unwanted road noises from entering through the bottom of the helmet.\n\nMulti-Ply Matrix Aim+ shell\nFew characteristics of a motorcycle helmet are as critical as its first-layer defense, which is precisely why the new RF-1200 features the SHOEI-exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell construction. Combining fiberglass with organic fibers, the RF-1200s proprietary AIM+ Shell is not only incredibly strong, it is extremely lightweight, and comes in an industry-leading four shell sizes to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes of XS-XXL.\n\nDual-Layer EPS liner\nThe RF-1200s Dual-Layer, Multi-Density EPS liner not only provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam in key areas around the riders head, it is designed to allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS, further enhancing the RF-1200s superior ventilation characteristics. In addition to enhanced impact absorption and ventilation, the precise placement of multi-density EPS liner material yields a more compact, lightweight design.\n\n3D Max-Dry System II interior\nThe RF-1200 is equipped with a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry System II interior. The 3D center pad components are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a riders head, allowing for an extremely comfortable fit while maintaining the firm hold necessary for distraction-free, high-speed riding. Additionally, the RF-1200s 3D-shaped cheek pads are available in multiple thicknesses for a customizable fit, and SHOEIs exclusive Max-Dry System II liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat and moisture twice as fast as traditional Nylon interiors.\n\nVentilation performance\nUtilizing SHOEIs wind tunnels to help reveal the optimal balance between airflow and silence, SHOEI engineers equipped the all-new RF-1200 with a large, three-position lower vent shutter for ease of use with riding gloves, three upper air vents for optimal air intake, and four uniquely-positioned upper exhaust outlet vents to take better advantage of negative pressure suctionall yielding dramatically-improved coolair intake and hotair expulsion.\n\nCWR-1 Shield\nThe RF-1200s CWR-1 shield provides a vast field of vision that rivals helmetless peripheral. In addition to protecting against 99% of the suns damaging UV rays, the CWR-1 shield offers a distortion-free view throughout the entire range thanks to SHOEIs 3D injection-molding process. Additionally, innovative new ribs on the top and bottom edge of the shield improve rigidity and eliminate the bending that may occur from wind pressure and during the opening and closing process, and an improved shield locking mechanism rounds out SHOEIs most advanced shield system to date.\n\nPrecision QR-E base plate system\nCoupled with the CWR-1 shield, the RF-1200s all-new QR-E base plate system facilitates quicker shield changes than ever before. Once a shield is installed, the strengthened spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back against the dual-lip, dual-layered window beading to ensure a wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure. Add to the mix an all-new five-stage rotating dial that allows fine-tuning the base plates function more precisely than ever, and youre left with the most advanced base plate/shield combination on the market today.\n\nEmergency Quick Release System (EQRS)\nBorrowing technology developed for SHOEIs groundbreaking VFX-W and X-Twelve racing helmets, SHOEI equipped the RF-1200 with its exclusive Emergency Quick Release System that allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from an injured riders helmet. With the cheek pads removed, the helmet can be safely lifted from a riders head without creating unnecessary strain in the neck area.
