Ok, so you have your new Yamaha YZF-6R sitting outside in the trailer. The guys in the shop took the time to roll it up for you, making sure it was safely secured in the trailer. But now you are having second thoughts. You look at your girlfriend and ask her to drive the truck home as you are going to ride your new baby out of there. However, you still have to find the perfect helmet.
With so many awesome Shoei helmets to choose from, how do you know which is best for your needs? After a bit of talking to the sales guys, they are able to narrow the field down to three different styles. The first style to choose from is the RF-800. The main feature of this awesome helmet is the visor-latching mechanism. Too often you find yourself reaching and grabbing to get that visor off, and all you manage to do is break your side-plate. What this great new feature does is give you a trigger to push to get that visor on and off with the greatest of ease. The Shoei RF-800 is also known as one of the quieter helmets out there. They do this through the absence of side-plates. With those gone, the noise reduction is first rate. But if you are nimble of fingers and don’t care about the noise, then perhaps the X11 is more to your style.
The Shoei X11 one of the hottest helmets out there today. This baby was truly built specially to race specifications with the help of top racers. What this means to your and your ride is minimal lift and drag while you fly open throttled over that rise. This great feature is only made possible by its Aero Edge Spoiler. But don’t just take our word for it, go with the same brand that top racers like Jake Zemke, Eric Bostrom, and Chris Vermeule. These guys aught to know what makes for the perfect helmet. But if comfort and fit are most important, then go with the RF-100.
The Shoei RF-100 is one of the best street riding helmets out there are the market today, and what’s more, cheaper than the high end brands that promise the world, but still can’t compete with this spectacular brand. The RF-100 gives the snuggest fit with its cheek pads that can be removed and adjusted to fit your head. Furthermore, this technological wonder ensures that your helmet wont’ shift while your flying down the highway. This lightweight yet strong head gear will make the difference between a safe ride and a trip to the hospital.
Knowing that a Shoei motorcycle helmet is the best out there is a no brainer. Knowing which style is best for you is not so easy. Each style comes with its own unique qualities to choose from, you just need to know what kind of riding you will be doing. But what about your unique look? Well, maybe next time.
