New Shoei RF-1100 In Stock!!

The newline of Shoei RF -1100 Helmets are in stock now at Moto-Authority!

Shoei pulls out all the stops for its latest generation lids. The new RF-1100  is literally all-new from the ground up. Utilizing data gleaned from the company’s new state-of-the-art wind tunnel as well as input from dealers and customers,  the RF-1100′s  bristle with new features that definitely set them apart from their predecessor. It continues to utilize Shoei’s AIM+ fiber technology that is claimed to produce a lighter and stronger shell material, but now constructed to the new Snell 2010 standards. Also new is shell-forming technology developed from the company’s VFX-W motocross helmet that allows the RF-1100 to do away with the RF-1000’s plastic rear spoiler wing by incorporating the spoiler into the helmet shell’s shape, all while maintaining a consistent shell thickness for proper strength and weight.

Shoei’s (QRBP) Quick Release Base Plate system is one of the best shield attachment setups, allowing quick and easy faceshield replacement. Both helmets debut the new evolution of that system, dubbed the QRSA (Quick Release Self-Adjusting) base plate system. The QRSA retains its predecessor’s easy-to-use quick-release shield retention system, but also includes a patented spring-loaded setup for the shield pivot base plate that eliminates the need to adjust them to achieve a proper seal. The ingeniously simple yet sophisticated setup uses the base plates to pull the shield evenly across the helmet’s eyeport bead once the shield is closed, ensuring a secure wind and waterproof seal. That eyeport is taller and wider, requiring a new shield; the new CW-1 shield is claimed to protect against 99 percent of the sun’s damaging UV-A and UV-B rays, and has the option of using an improved version of Shoei’s Pinlock anti-fog lens system.

Ventilation on both helmets has also been upgraded. Wind tunnel testing resulted in some location changes for the RF-1100’s rear vents (which are now four instead of two). And it comes with variable size cheek pads for a custom comfortable fit.
