Shoei RF-SR Helmet Review from Sportbiketrackgear.com

[@Groagun]

This helmet seems aimed more at the upright, naked bike rider rather than the full or 3/4 tuck type of bike/rider.

[@alexcidjavillonar7973]

Wow I like that color Orange

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for watching! - Van

[@Unfinished_Thoughts]

Is that Shoei helmet for an intermediate oval head shape?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes, I feel this helmet offers an intermediate head shape. - Van

I actually like this helmet over gt air 2, but my only concern is about safety. As if I pucker ( but why should one do) i can kiss the inside of the mouth area and i can push my chin forward, My stubble can rub the mouth area.... Is that safe at the time of impact?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Having your face close to the chin bar will not reduce the safety in a crash. If the helmet fits properly and is strapped up it will do it's job in a crash. - Van

[@calebspeer4596]

should've compared it to the qwest since that's what it's replacing not shoeis premium helmets

[@dadodasler9730]

My bike is street and I have no plans on riding a sportsbike, maybe a cruiser at some point. Which one would you recommend, RF-SR or RF-1200 if prices were the same? The RF-1200 looks more expensive and seems to be of higher quality. I have heard one fella say the RF-1200 has a thicker chin bar making it slightly harder to see the speedo in an upright position, is this true (shouldn't be the case if helmets are identical)?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The RF-1200 is simply a better helmet than the RF-SR. If your budget allows for the 1200 that is the direction I would go. Having ridden in the 1200 I do not feel the chin bar makes seeing the cluster difficult. - Van

[@dadodasler9730]

@@sportbiketrackgear All right. RF-1200 it is then, thanks for your response!

[@dukenukem7183]

is this helmet replacing the "quest"?

[@makjak111]

Robert Duke I think so

[@azka9075]

Wow i thought its 1.3kg but seems like they used the weight of the xs helmet

[@PorkyMcChopz]

How are the eyeglass channels?

[@CPUspeed]

So long quest. Same shield cool. good review.

[@albertptran]

I'm liking the price

[@MorryMoto]

My only issue with this helmet is the RF1200. There really isn't a whole lot of a difference in price for a helmet that'll perform better, so why not spend the extra $$$ for a better performing lid in my option.

[@CaffeineFreak13]

i have both and didnt like the way the rf1200 fit compared to the rfsr. but i bought the rf12 first couldnt return it so i kept both. plus some budgets dont allow for the extra money. its great and straight to the point plus my favorite color is orange and thats the real reason i bought it, cus i didnt need another helmet

[@niconjones]

I tried them both on and the RF1200 didn’t come close to this one in the comfort department. This helmet is much more comfortable and is a lot quieter than the Bell Qualifier I was using.

[@elithegreat6463]

Looks like a typical dime a dozen Helmet 🤔??, bland & Boring.

[@addario]

Designed more for urban riders who don't want to look like a power ranger but still get shoei quality.

[@elithegreat6463]

"Urban Riders" ??? That's the stupidest saying in motorcycling.and its more used for marketing sales for the gullible who like that term.

[@addario]

Urban rider.... someone who predominantly rides in an urban environment majority of the time like I do in London that wears gear designed to look clean and simple, gear that looks like normal clothing and not look like a power ranger with garish colours and graphics. Anyone can wear anything just like you can wear adventure gear on a sports bike, don't get so up yourself about a term.

[@elithegreat6463]

Spare me with that Text-Book meaning Bullshit. It's a plain Ass Helmet. Like I said, it's all marketing cause some Dim-wits thinks it sounds cool.

[@CaffeineFreak13]

BeaglePower G you have to be the stupidest fucker ive seen in a while.. what is wrong with bland anyway, its a damn helmet. let me know if the graphics on your cheapy china helmet with fake dot sticker do a better job saving your dome than this "boring" helmet
