Featuring advanced noise reduction technology, a multi-vent system for superior airflow, and a moisture-wicking removable liner, it delivers comfort and protection for serious riders who demand performance and style. ## Description SHOEI The RF line has a rich heritage dating back nearly four decades. Always focused on innovation, Shoei launched the model 1400 in 2021. This road bike helmet has been tested in the Shoei wind tunnel system where aerodynamics and ventilation have been studied and refined. Six air intake and four exhaust vents are designed to keep your head cool, while uplift and drag have been reduced compared to its predecessor, the RF-1200. A new airtight window bead provides a wind and waterproof seal of the sign. A clear view and protection from the sun's harmful UV rays is also provided by the CWR-F2 shield, and the release button is located in the middle of the helmet for smooth lifting. Multiple layers of fiberglass along with a two-layer, high-density EPS liner are designed to provide protection on impact. The exclusive Max Dry inner material absorbs and expels sweat twice faster than conventional nylon interiors. The insert is also removable and washable. Weighing in at 3 pounds and 10 ounces, this Snell M2020D and DOT approved helmet is available in multiple colors and graphics. Review: Very good helmet, i chose it because of the reviews regarding noise reduction capabilities, but when tried it didn’t exceed my previous helmet by much, other than this point everything is fine about this helmet Review: There have many reviews of this helmet so I am going to stick to what things I found. I wear a large in each of the Shoei helmets I have. This one is no exception though as my first full face, I found the fit to be really snug. Not uncomfortable mind you, but SNUG. It's a bit of a process to get it on, again, not problematic in any way, but nonetheless a process. I find the field of vision to be no less than any of the open face Shoeis I have owned. The visor when down, cuts noise noticeably, but in warm/hot weather as in above 80 degrees, makes the helmet warmer. I generally wear a skull cap under the helmet to wick away perspiration and that helps. Ventilation is certainly adequate, but it's not like the thing is going to be air conditioned. I tried the chin screen and found that it wanted to hang up on my nose when removing the helmet so I removed it completely. Others may have different experiences. Mounting my intercom headset presented come challenges. I have a GL 1800 and use the bike's existing intercom system. The cutouts in the helmet seem a bit small for the speakers which came with the IMC Motocom intercom system I use. When I first mounted the speakers into the cutouts they pushed against my ears and I think this stems from the snug fit of the helmet. I skirted that issue by cutting up the round selfsticking velcro mounts for the speakers and making smaller pieces which I was able to put down into the cutouts and pressed the speakers down into the cutouts. That maneuver helped and essentially resolved the problem of the speakers pressing against my ears. The newer bluetooth communication setups may have smaller speaker which may fit into those helmet cutouts so you may not have the issue I had. A Pinlock antifog panel comes with the helmet and will eliminate any cold weather fogging. The Shoei RF-1400 is pricey, but I feel safer in a full face and the comfort, fit, and finish is there. Good buy and no regrets! ## Features - Excellent quality, stylish slim design and maximum comfort and safety are blended together. The company, the trusted logo adorns the forehead. Shoeiprouddeliver its latest iteration, the iconic flagship lineup, the RF-1400. Since its first introduction in 1984, it has been an integral part of the Moto community, and for years research and development has led the development, design, comfort, noise reduction and all-around good quality provided only by Shoeipreparedprovide. - The wind tunnel tests have refined the RFs aerodynamics and ventilation to further develop the design. Shoei managdwring out the RF1200s aerodynamics with areductiondrag and reductionlift. The compact, aerodynamic shell shape maximizes ventilation that air flows over you while doubling the lightest SNELL approved full face helmet. The rider wants to lose important features that most lighter helmets compromise on, such as wind noise. But the RF-1400 is the lightest range, with its new noise reduction technology, leaves room for ear pain. - The shape of the pampered shell was designed in the wind tunnel and through these tests, Shoei was able to provide a quieter shell design while optimizing the shape. The new CWR-F2 shield system with its vortex generator technology displaces wind turbulence. The airtight window beading system provides a windproof and waterproof seal. You thought you were cracking the cucumber jar. The RF-1400 also features more voluminous cheek pads and removable ear pad rest that dampens wind noise. - The proprietary technology integrates a matrix hand-woven layer of fiberglass and lightweight organic fibers. They deliver a helmet that not only meets SNELL M2020 and DOT ratings, but the strongest, most elastic shell provides optimal shock absorption to the wearer. In addition, the RF-1400 is lined with a dual layer, high-density EPS foam insert that also supports easy absorption and allows cool airflow unrestricted through the channels. The precise placement of the EPS material has helped shape the compact, lightweight design of the RF-1400s. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QRKZX96 | | Brand Name | Shoei | | Certificate Type | DOT, FMVSS 218, SNELL | | Closure Type | Double Ring | | Colour | Matt Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Motorcycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (282) | | Finish Type | Matte | | Included Components | CWR-F2 Shield, Chin curtain, Helmet bag, Pinlock EVO Lens, Respiratory protection | | Item Shape | Oval | | Item Type Name | Integral motorcycle helmet | | Item Weight | 1.65 kg | | Manufacturer | Shoei | | Material Type | Fibreglass expanded polystyrene (EPS) | | Model Number | 0101-0135-06 | | Number Of Vents | 6 | | Shell Type | Shock absorbing shell in AIM+ | | Specification Met | DOT, FMVSS 218, SNELL | | Sport Type | Motorcycling | | Style Name | Minimalist | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shoei - **Colour:** Matt Black - **Item weight:** 1.65 kg - **Material:** Fibreglass expanded polystyrene (EPS) - **Vehicle service type:** Motorcycle ## Images ![RF-1400 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tvF6UqeUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the part number for the tinted visor for the shoei 1400** A: Product Style Item # Manufacturer Product # Availability Clear 10034354 0201-9400-00 In Stock: Ships within 24 hours Mellow Smoke 10034357 0201-9425-00 Out of Stock: Available July Dark Smoke 10034356 0201-9405-00 Out of Stock: Available late-July Yellow 10034355 0201-9403-00 In Stock: Ships within 24 hours Per Cycle Gear as of today **Q: Are returns accepted (shipped from Amazon) if it does not fit?** A: I would suggest you go to a local cycle shop and try on the sizes for the specific model you are interested in. Helmet manufacturers are like shoe makers. The size on the box is not always accurate. So save yourself the sizing and return issue upfront.

Good buy and no regrets! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***M on 2 March 2021* I'm just getting back to motorcycles after 40 years. I decided if I splurged on any gear at all, it would be the helmet. I did a ton of research and finally decided on this helmet. Shoei's reputation precedes itself, so I know the product itself was already great. I ordered a medium, and when I first slid -- CRAMMED-- it onto my noggin, I thought my skull would cave it after my eyes popped out. I ordered a medium, as my head is small (and, as my skull throbbed, it was evidence of a lack of brains as well) but I took few breaths and the pounding eased a bit. About ten minutes later I couldn't fee a single pressure point-- and, no, it's not because my head was numb. So, it needed a little break in time. After walking around the house with it on for half and hour at a time for a few days-- driving my wife nuts and scaring the cat-- it became quite comfortable. If I'd sent it back after the first try on, it would have been a huge mistake. It's still snug, but by no means uncomfortable. Grabbing the jaw and pulling from side to side, it doesn't budge an inch, but it doesn't pinch either. A sharp shake of the head, nodding like a headbanger, and the helmet doesn't shift an inch. Not even a quarter inch. The helmet is light, about three and a half pounds (I guess it's heavier than the RF 1200), and when it's on my head it by no means feels bulky and, now, not constrictive. My first impulse was to send it right back-- if I could ever get it off-- and order a large. I'm glad I didn't. It would have been a huge mistake. Now, I hope I never have to find out how well it works. But, if that event occurs, I'm very confident I made the right choice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shoei RF-1400 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet - Soman RF-1400 RF 1400 Visors Shield Replacement, CWR-F2 Visor Face Shield Compatible With RF-1400 CWR-F2 Z8 NXR2 UV Protection (Deep Smoke) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/745994830-rf-1400](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/745994830-rf-1400) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
