I'm a hardcore longtime Shoei user. BUT, the R10 helmet is so esthetically beautiful I had to purchase one. My RF-1400 fits me like a glove and i continue to wear it around the city and for lower speed rides. The Shoei does tend to have buffering issues above 80mph that is very distracting. My commute to work is about 15 miles on the I5 (California, Orange County) and the car pool lane typically travels between 80 to 100 mph. The R10 with the race spoiler is completely stable at 120 mph (can't vouch for any speeds faster personally, and this was on a closed course highway in Mexico, lol). A major concern is that Alpinestar being a Italian company, has chosen to mass produce this helmet at a premium cost that other Italian companies still design, engineer and hand-make their helmets in Italy. It's no secret that Alpinestar and all the head honchos live and work in Torrance California area, outsourcing most all of their products to China. This leverages the Alpinestar name to maximize profits utilizing potentially unhumanistic and questionable cheap labor. They maintain a "design" office in Asolo, Italy, but i believe this only supports the major European race efforts. i couldn't resist the pull of the R10. Hopefully i won't regret it.

I just bought the x-15 and it has become my favorite helmet lol I have the rf-1400 wasn’t the biggest fan because of the wind drag super quiet but that drag sucked the r10 is dope in my opinion no issues yet

Recently ordered the same color. Love this design.

Mine is on preorder. I’m stoked.

@jasonwilliams5885 it's squeaky and leaky, The visor design allows it to come off if you bump it while it's not latched( I'd have to make a video), cardo kinda sucks with it as there's no good place to sticky mount so I modified the clip on and the speakers take up a ton of space (race helmet sooooo this is just me) not the helmets fault. It's made in China 🤷🏻‍♂️, the chinstrap material is already coming off. I still really like the helmet, wear earplugs though. Airflow is crazy! Chin skirt helps the wind but it's a crap design. Everyone that tried it on said it fit weirdnandni agree, it fits weird when comparing it to other helmets. But it looks cool so who cares!! Jk. I'd buy it again

wonder how it compares to arai corsair

I got the same color coming. I have a pista RR, HJC rpha 1n Red Bull edition, Arai Nicky Haden edition RIP 🪦

I love it I think in person it looks better than the pista tbh

I would personally never leave my safety up to Chinese QC, but to each their own.

It meets all standards. I’m positive they wouldn’t approve the standard unless they were reached

Where is it made? Italy or China?

You should try on a scorpion exo r1

I have the same helmet but I don't know to install the chin curtain.Can you explain please?

No but I changed the chin curtain to the one shoei sells!

What sticker is that you have? Does it say Supertech ?

No it says impaktech! It’s a brand that has cages for motorcycles

I preordered the same design a long time ago, its finally at the dealership while i'm on vacation/trip, and i think the fact that it says "professional helmet" on this design is pretty obnoxious/ridiculous/stupid. Thinking about maybe getting the solid carbon instead because of that stupid writing. Is it significantly louder than rf-1400? My arai quantum x was ridiculously loud and not aerodynamic at all. Rf-1400 is decent with shoei pfs, except i can't use a chinbar in it because it's totally suffocating and hot as hell with it. Guess we'll see if medium fits like shoei does, gt-air could be small for me, quantum x was definitely small since it actually matched the round shape of my head.

Fuck yes dude I hate that shit I’m cool with the logo but not the whole alpine star in writing all around but it’s ALOT louder than the shoei rf-1400 and the x-15 fits better in a medium then a shoei 1400 medium

that’s a straight up race helmet

@auroras1kk

No because alpinestars and others even say it’s not a straight up race helmet it’s a mix between street/race :)

Really thrown wether or not to get this over the Agv pista
