The Shoei Shell

The Shoei RF-1000 boasts an AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Multi-fiber Technology) shell. This shell weaves strong organic fibers into the fiberglass, leaving the helmet lightweight and strong.

Shoei has spent a lot of time in creating the RF-1000. By testing the helmet in a wind tunnel, Shoei has provided good airflow and a reduction in wind noise. Through this process, Shoei claims to have a 24% reduction in drag and a 17.8% reduction in lift with the RF-1000. The result is a very smooth and aerodynamic helmet. In addition, the RF-1000 is a very quiet helmet, a result of not only great design, but also good venting. The outside of the helmet, including paint and graphics are high quality.

With many hours spent in research and design, it is clear that Shoei has delivered once again and has managed to design a lightweight, yet protective and comfortable helmet.
