Shoei RF-1400 MM93 Marquez American Spirit Full Face Helmet TC-1

The Evolution of Perfection is a fitting tagline for the longest-standing, most decorated full-face helmet model in the SHOEI lineup, the RF. The process of improving 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 brink, utilizing our state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, extensive array of proprietary materials, and the industry’s most stringent quality assurance practices to develop the all-new RF-1400. SHOEI’s lightest and most compact SNELL-approved full-face helmet model, the RF-1400 has evolved the pursuit of perfection to the next level.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Evolved design, functionality and performance over its predecessor
Wind tunnel-tested and refined aerodynamics and ventilation performance
Compact, aerodynamic shell shape with integrated spoiler
SHOEI’s lightest SNELL-approved full-face helmet model
All-new shield and base plate system for optimized visibility and performance
Noise-reduction technology reduces unwanted wind and road noise

AERODYNAMICS

Developed and refined in SHOEI’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility
Compact, aerodynamic shell shape with integrated spoiler
Strategically-shaped air intake and exhaust vents help streamline the overall profile
Boasts impressive improvements in aerodynamic performance and reduces the forces placed on a rider’s head
Lift reduction (upward lift forces): -6%*
Drag reduction (forward drag forces): -4%*

ADVANCED NOISE REDUCTION

Optimal shell aerodynamics reduce wind noise around the helmet
Vortex Generators on the sides of the shield reduce wind turbulence
All-new, airtight window beading provides wind/waterproof seal
New, voluminous cheek pads and removable ear pads further restrain wind noise inside the helmet
The RF-1400 provides an incredibly quiet riding experience without blocking the road’s informative sounds

VENTILATION PERFORMANCE

Wind tunnel-optimized to provide the perfect balance between airflow and silence
Relocated center/forehead vent is equipped with an additional air intake hole for greater airflow into the helmet
Upper air intake holes have been enlarged for optimal performance
New, enlarged exhaust outlet vent for improved hot-air expulsion
Large 3-position lower vent shutter for ease of use with riding gloves
Features six (6) air intake vents and four (4) exhaust outlets

CWR-F2 SHIELD

Protects from 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
3D injection-molding ensures distortion-free view throughout the entire field of vision
2D “flat” outside surface combined with 3D technology inside offers an aggressive look with optimized visibility
Vortex Generators improve shield aerodynamics and reduce wind noise
All-new, conveniently located center locking mechanism evenly distributes shield forces across both base plates
PINLOCK EVO fog-resistant system is 10% larger for improved lateral vision

CWR-F2 BASE PLATE SYSTEM

Completely redesigned to facilitate quicker, smoother shield changes
New shield adjuster mechanism provides easier, more precise tuning
Redesigned base plate gear has all-new “first position” shield opening feature for advanced venting and defogging
SHOEI’s patented spring-loaded technology ensures a wind and waterproof seal
All-new airtight window beading reduces wind and water intrusion

MULTI-PLY MATRIX AIM+ SHELL

Proprietary technology integrates a multi-ply matrix specifically designed to meet both SNELL M2020 and DOT standards
Hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers
Shell-integrated spoiler with consistent shell thickness guarantees proper strength and weight
SHOEI’s strongest, lightest, most elastic shell provides optimal impact absorption

DUAL-LAYER/MULTI-DENSITY EPS LINER

Provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam
Allows cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS
Precise placement of multi-density EPS material yields a more compact, lightweight design

EMERGENCY QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM (E.Q.R.S.)

Allows emergency medical personnel to easily and safely remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet
Helmet can be gently removed from an injured rider’s head with minimal load placed on his/her neck

3D MAX-DRY INTERIOR SYSTEM II

Fully removable, washable, replaceable and adjustable
Exclusive Max-Dry material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2X faster than traditional nylon interiors
Soft yet durable lower cheek pad fabric for a plush fit and feel
Three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head
Multi-layer cheek pads for improved comfort and helmet stabilization
Cheek pads feature more volume for greater comfort and reduced wind noise
Optional interior components available in different sizes for a customizable fit
Cheek pad channel for eyeglasses
