SHOEI RF-1400 PROLOGUE HELMET TC-11 2XL

The process of improvement is a constant evolution, and with a world-class team of designers and engineers leading the charge, we pushed our resources and technologies to the limit, utilizing our state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, a vast array of proprietary materials, and the most stringent quality assurance practices in the industry to develop the all-new RF-1400. SHOEI's lightest and most compact Snell-approved full-face helmet model, the RF-1400 has taken the pursuit of perfection to the next level.

Aerodynamic performance:

The RF-1400 features impressive improvements in aerodynamic performance, including a 6% reduction in lift and a 4% reduction in drag (compared to the RF-1200). Furthermore, thanks to a compact, aerodynamic shell shape that includes an integrated spoiler, as well as strategically shaped air intakes and exhaust vents that help streamline the helmet's overall profile, the RF-1400 significantly reduces the load placed on the rider's head. The optimal aerodynamics of the shell not only improve the helmet's ability to cut through airflow, but also contribute to a welcome reduction in wind noise without blocking valuable informative road sounds.

CWR-F2 Visor and Baseplate System:

The all-new CWR-F2 visor system offers improved visibility, functionality, and performance. Highlighting a long list of updates, the CWR-F2's 2D flat exterior combined with 3D technology on the interior delivers an aggressive look with optimized visibility for a more natural view. Vortex generators (borrowed from X-Fourteen technology) on the sides of the visor improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise, and an all-new center-lock mechanism helps evenly distribute visor forces across the two spring-loaded base plates. In addition, the first-position open feature provides advanced ventilation and defogging capabilities.

A completely redesigned baseplate system provides smoother visor opening and closing, and a new visor adjustment mechanism allows for easier and more precise adjustment. Combined with an all-new window sill that reduces wind and water intrusion, the CWR-F2 visor and baseplate system is the most advanced on the market today.

Pinlock EVO DKS-304:

The new 10% larger PINLOCK EVO DKS-304 lens system improves the lateral field of vision thanks to pivots moved outside the eyepiece field and offers the most effective anti-fog protection available.

Optimized ventilation:

Using SHOEI's in-house wind tunnel to help reveal the optimal balance between airflow and silence, our designers and engineers relocated the center/front vent and also equipped it with an additional air intake hole to increase the volume of cooling air entering the helmet. In addition, a new enlarged exhaust outlet vent better takes advantage of the negative pressure suction at the rear of the helmet, improving the expulsion of hot air. In total, the RF-1400 has six air intakes (2 lower, 2 front, 2 upper) and four exhaust outlets.

Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell:

Few features of a motorcycle helmet are as critical as its first layer of defense, which is precisely why the all-new RF-1400 features SHOEI's exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ construction. Combining a six-layer matrix of fiberglass with lightweight, high-performance organic fibers, the RF-1400's proprietary AIM+ shell provides optimal shock absorption, strength, and elasticity, and is available in four shell sizes to ensure a custom fit for heads between sizes XS-2XL.

Double-layer, multi-density EPS liner:

The RF-1400's dual-layer, multi-density EPS liner not only provides improved impact absorption by utilizing different foam densities in key areas around the rider's head, but is designed to allow cooling air to flow unrestricted through tunnels created within the EPS, further enhancing the RF-1400's superior ventilation characteristics. In addition to improved impact absorption and ventilation, the precise placement of the multi-density EPS liner material results in a more compact and lightweight design.

3D Max-Dry Interior System II Lining:

The RF-1400 features a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry Interior System II liner. The 3D center pad components are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of the rider's head, allowing for an extremely comfortable fit while maintaining the secure grip needed for distraction-free high-speed riding. Additionally, the RF-1400's 3D-shaped cheek pads are available in multiple thicknesses for a customizable fit, and SHOEI's exclusive Max-Dry material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2 times faster than traditional nylon.

The newly designed cheek pads offer more volume on the bottom for greater comfort and reduced wind noise, and the soft yet durable fabric of the lower cheek pad provides an extremely plush fit and feel. The hybrid, moisture-wicking, quick-drying material in the areas covering the cheeks and brows, along with the soft, raised fabric in areas that tend to rub against the rider's face when removing the helmet, give RF-1400 riders the perfect balance of softness and performance.

To add to the overall comfort, specially designed cheek pad channels help eliminate pressure created by goggle arms around the temple area for riders who wear goggles.

Emergency Quick Release System (EQRS):

Borrowing technology developed for SHOEI on- and off-road racing helmets, the RF-1400 features SHOEI's exclusive Emergency Quick Release System (EQRS) that allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from an injured rider's helmet. Once the cheek pads are removed, the helmet can be safely lifted off a rider's head without creating unnecessary strain on the neck area.

Superior noise reduction:

Capturing informative road sounds is important, but too much unwanted noise inside a helmet can negatively impact the riding experience, which is why the RF-1400 has undergone extensive testing to find the perfect balance. Along with optimal shell aerodynamics that reduce wind noise around the helmet, the RF-1400's advanced visor aerodynamics (thanks to vortex generators), the all-new airtight window sill, and voluminous cheek pads that further limit wind noise inside the helmet, all this combines to create an incredibly quiet riding experience
