Can you guys please do a road test for the Shoei GT Air II?

I bought a Shoei RF1400 in the summer of 2022. In October 2022, I was hit hard and fast from behind on I-44 between Springfield and Joplin Missouri. The car hit me so fast and so hard... it came right up through the tailpipe, bending the middle of the frame upwards, throwing me skyward and sideways off the highway. I don't know if I was rendered unconscious or not, it happened so fast. I found myself lying a few feet into the grass off the shoulder. My lower body was broken pretty bad (three months later, and I'm just now transitioning from a wheelchair to a walker), but somehow my head and shoulders were not injured! This helmet took a number of impacts, as it had damage in two or three locations (front and back). Somehow, God blessed me that this helmet protected me... I'm writing this review for Shoei and placing it in a number of popular online locations to show my thanks for the RF-1400! And thank you God! Additionally, this helmet was super comfortable and fit my head snug as a bug in a rug! (P.S. Don't ride your motorcycle on highways at night)

These stories are what motivated me to purchase an airbag vest.

I think a lot of people don’t realize why there is a center lock. It is to provide equal tension to the face shield across the seal as opposed to lopsided tension. Allows for a cleaner and tighter seal. They made some big strides with this face shield over the 1200 it seems. And I think that goes under appreciated. Now if they just have a transition shield for this helmet, it is a total win for me.

They do offer a transition shield. I used it over the 2023 season. It adjusts quickly. My only knock is that it doesn’t get as dark as I’d like it to, or as dark as a dark smoke shield for example, in direct sunlight. But if I’m riding into afternoon sun I put sunglasses on.

K6 didn’t fit my shape head 1400 feels great. So right off the bat the k6 is more for round shape head this is more intermediate oval shape.

Picked one up at cycle gear last week. Best helmet I’ve owned.

World Class Quality never found anything better than Shoei.

Nice I was waiting for this for sooo long I have a 1200 and love it. Cannot wait to get this one

Thanks for an informative, on the road, review. I just got one of these to replace the 1200 that got dinged in a crash last fall. (Left turning city driver.). Been a fan of Shoei for years and have retired all of them but one simply due to years of use.

Picked a white one up from Cyclegear, love it. Shoei Customer Service said tinted and transition lenses will ship in April. Glad to see this ride test, the first video was pretty harsh on the center lock visor

I think the latch to open and close the visor makes more sense on the 1200

AGV K6 vs this Shoei back to back test pls.

definitely a nice lid. I don't know if the 6% reduced drag really makes a difference though. I've been testing it for the past couple of weeks.

Great helmets, my personnel preference for 20+ years. They're ventilation has always left a little to be desired. They just can't seem to deal with it.

I was doing some research on some helmets and the Neotec 2 kept popping up as either the most quiet or second most quiet by a very narrow margin. If you have any experience with the Neotec 2, how would you compare the road/wind noise reduction between the two?

Just picked this up this morning, coming from an RF-SR. I think it's a very similar feeling helmet to the SR. I was a little disappointed with the venting of this helmet; the brow vent is really nice on the 1200 and the Hornet, so kind of a bummer that it isn't in there. The inside fit is really plush and premium-feeling. I tried on Scorpion's carbon helmet, the AGV K6, etc - nothing felt more like putting my head between two pillows quite like the Shoei. It seems like maybe this helmet isn't as impressive for a sport touring and ADV rider like myself, because my head tilted downward just a bit makes the helmet vent a lot better; upright riding position doesn't yield as impressive of results. But overall, I think of this as an $850 (I got the transition shield too) investment that can be spread out over 4-5 years.. Basically the safest helmet I could buy for about $200/year.

Great review - Most likely my next helmet

I just picked mine up, only grip is it’s annoying to take on and off as well as the center lock visor

My big question: which one has better air flow, this or the K6? Thanks!

How well do you think the new RF1400 will work on the track? How well do you think it will work for club level racing? I see it has some more vertical visibility as well?...think Shoei is trying to bridge the gap between the 1200 and the X-14 a little bit? Do you think a more track oriented helmet such as the X-14 or Bell Race Star would be better for a club racer/advanced level track riding or will the Rf1400 do a good enough visibility/ventilation job at a more budget friendly price?

You cannot feel 3 ounces… you can swap a lid for one that is 1/2 pound difference and not feel it while wearing it, probably would notice a full pound heavier. You will changes in feel from wind resistance and buffeting and any ‘pulling’,when looking around. So adding 3 ounces to make the helmet safer and quieter is a great trade off.

Thanks for sharing. What size you are wearing?

The 1200 saved my life and is comfortable as hell, so I'll probably stick with that

I would be on the fence to buy another Shoei. My RF1200 is pretty damn loud earplugs help. Always wear earplugs regardless. My RF700 and RF1000 was so much quieter. But most say the 1200 is very quiet, depends on a person's headshape. Fit and finish on Shoei's are too notch and the wind resistance on the 1200 is amazing, I'm sure the 1400 would be as well.

For me, the RF-1400 was on par with the latest lids out there that utilize a pin-lock insert. It can fog a bit right in the center on the lower part of the shield and build up around that a bit but it generally never fogs the entire shield. The only time I've experienced fogging to be an issue, even with a pin-lock, is when it's cold and rainy. Even then I've never had the entire shield fog up on me but I will crack the shield open from time to time to clear any fogging that was present. If you've been using an older Shoei, I think you'll enjoy the latest pin-lock system. Cheers! -Brandon

The shield was delayed for nearly 2 years after being announced bc of issues. They worked all the issues out, but I'm sure it made them more cautious.

Hey Brendan. I have an RF-1400 in size 3XL, and I really need the optional thicker interior liner. Shoei customer support tells me I have to get it from a dealer, but my local dealers are telling me it's out of stock and not available to order. I haven't found it for sale on the internet, and I get the sense that most web sellers don't understand the part or never added it to their catalog. Can RevZilla order that part for me? I think the PN is simply "XXL9". If not, what am I supposed to do?

@patrickmchugh8039

11 ай бұрын

Sorry - I wanted to hop on a call with some of Shoei's US reps to make sure I had the right answer for you before replying. I checked and confirmed that there does not appear to be any thinner liner for the 3XL in the RF-1400. Every list from Shoei (in the owners manual on their site, as well as the replacement pads sizing charts etc) stop at the 2XL. So I did some digging and the 3XL only has the interior that comes with it. The XXL9 you referenced is the thicker size for the 2XL if you wanted to make it tighter, since it comes with the XXL5 already installed (numbers indicate mm thickness, same with the cheek pads). According to their teams here in the US, there isn't a replacement liner that would work with your size unfortunately. Most liners break in about 10-15% after about 20 hours of use, but idk if that will help at all. A smaller liner might not help with hotspots either, if the shell's internal shape just isn't right for your shape though. Again, not saying that is what your experiencing - but just throwing all the info / tips I have out there.

​ @RevZilla My guess -- there's a lav mic in the helmet connected (by wire) to a separate recording device and synched with a "hand clap" when the cameras are turned on...but that's only a guess

which bike is that?

It’s too bad I’ve realized I have more of a round fit and Shoei in America just make intermediate ovals...

I need a new helmet. I've outgrown my scorpion r710

Please Shoei, make a long-oval helmet for us funny shaped heads for 450 dollars. Please. I beg you. Otherwise, HJC or Scorpion should do it. Frankly I think HJC has more luxury in their lids than Shoei does at less cost.

Shoei should make also one helmet with intermediate oval but little more round for much space for temples because shoei did not fit me good.

@@piotr.ber94 I've been tempted to buy an Arai Signet-X, but the cost is basically double of what I want to pay for a lid, and the face shield mechanism is ridiculous, the chin bar is massive and blocks one's view downward, and the helmet shapes are pretty aesthetically knobby.

@@piotr.ber94 LS2 fit my head like a saddle fits a tortoise. Bell Star I had hopes for due to their use of MIPS, but those don't fit well either. For now I'm using an Icon Airflite with MIPS. I've swapped some pads to make it fit better but it's still far from optimal and I can get dull headaches after a couple hours. Also it's very unfrieldly to eyeglasses so I basically have to put contacts on to use it.

I bet it took him 5 minutes to get his hat just right.

How could you "compare by riding the same speed" when you cannot see your speedometer? There's a gigantic black camera mounting bar blocking the view.

AGV K6 or Shoei RF1400? Bottom line.

I wonder what the people in the cars behind you think about you waving your left hand all over the place is all about
