Getting the helmet on and off is an extremely tight process. Opening and closing the vents has very little effect if you're hoping to reduce internal air flow on a colder day.

Absolutely love this helmet with the Shockwave Bluetooth. It is a bit louder than my HJC. Almost as loud as my O'Neal Sierra dirt helmet. It's comfy and quiet. It's light. The magnetic latch is so quick and easy. Visor swaps are easy. Since your helmet is too big, maybe get the thicker pads that should help.

4.0 finally made me dip into getting an Atlas. Been waiting for a long time but wasn't feeling good about a lot of the issues so many people were talking about. It seems like they actually finally fixed a lot of the issues. I honestly thought the 4.0 would just be a slightly improved 3.0 because that's how it seems all the versions have been. So happy they brought Mercury back as well because that's the one I was wanting. All said and done, the total ended up being a tad over $900 with the pinlock, crash protection, Shockwave, etc. so I hope it's well worth it. GearsandGadgets actually said it was on the level, or perhaps even above, his Shoei helmets... which is really impressive.

I honestly find it irritating that everyone absolutely hates on these helmets saying that there are safer options, track rated options etc and throwing out phrases like "you would never see a motoGP rider wearing one, therefore it's crap" I feel like a lot of that really does not have much substance... Its like the difference between wearing casual protective pants on the street vs a full leather race suit. This helmet is designed for street and everyday use, and has killer aesthetics, comfort and features IMO. Yes, the prior versions had their problems, but with the feedback that us as users have been able to give Ruroc, they have taken that and been able to manage to refine the product to reflect the quality that we were expecting. 10/10 I think they are on the right track now. Right tools for the job, thats my $0.02

I'm conflicted between getting this atlas 4.0 in titanium or an AGV K6 for it's light weight and smaller shell.

Just recieved mine today and God dsmn is this thing tight! I followed the sizing chart so hopefully is correct. Putting it on and taking it off hurts pretty bad, wheb taking it off it squeezed the hell out of my head. Felt like it was cutting off blood flow. Hopefully this thing will loosen up a bit as the next size up would definitely be to big for me. Should have just made more in-between sizes instead of putting two sizes in one helmet. I'm usually a size small so a small/medium would be to big and and extra small is to small. So anyway. Fingers crossed.

How it is hating when the previous version were trash? Infact, one could argue that the reviews from people such as yourself is why the 4.0 is so good. The company actually listened to US as in the riders. Now they have shown growth and I will be purchasing on myself. Thats not hate. Its honest reviews.

@ThePastaRocket

2 жыл бұрын

I fully agree with you.. Yes, I reviewed the 3.0 but it had flaws that showed their face later on, but the first thing I did was address them with my viewers, and also wrote a LONG letter to Ruroc explaining the issues to them, and they listened. What is so bad about that? They made a product before that left a lot to be desired, and then they listened to the feedback and fixed the problems and put out a new version. Its called business, thats how it works. They improved the product by listening to the reviews. Nothing wrong with that.

So close to the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner. Nice. So maybe we wait for the 5.0. It just keeps getting better but is it there yet for the cost, the wait, and will the fitment work? All up to the individual I would say.

Just bought this helmet, it was a whopping 70% of on the ruroc website !!!!

Yes that’s the one I’ve got !

Your statement that 3db's is a "100 percent change in overall loudness" is a bit misleading. In audio, you get a 3db increase in volume by doubling the power, or in this case half. A 10 db increase is typically considered being twice as "loud", which requires 10x more power. A 3db change is typically the smallest increment the human ear can perceive a volume change, maybe less if you have super ears. I know I can't tell a difference of 1db that's for sure, I used to work in audio. If you turn your volume knob really slow and stop when you think it got louder, that's probably about 3db. So the new helmet is perceivably quieter, which is awesome. They've cut the amount of audible "power" coming through the helmet in half, so kudos to Ruroc for that, but it's not 100 percent quieter or "half" as loud. They've turned the volume down one notch. But good test, I was thinking of a good objective way to test this, I might steal that idea for my reviews :p

@ThePastaRocket

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah. I hear what you’re saying. I used to work In Audio as well actually. I was sort of trying to dumb it down for people to understand. But 3-4db quieter is fairly significant perceptually. I mean it’s not the best set up test either, but it’s definitely improved
