New Shoei RF 1100.

[ripcurl]

Are XR and RF not different?!?
you've got an RF-1100 comment with an XR-1100 link/picture.

They're the same. XR for the European market, RF for the North American market. Just like how the RF1000 and XR1000 are the same helmet.

I found some pictures of the X-12:

"So this is Shoei's new helmet, set to debut next week at Laguna Seca. It's a completely new helmet design. It incorporates some new technologies that will make it a winner in terms of function and safety. Quick release cheek pads so the helmet can be removed with minimal head movement in case of trauma. A completely new shield design to keep rain and air out. New ventilation system for better flow and cooling. New liner material for comfort. A taller and wider eye opening for improved peripheral vision. New shape for lower drag and wind noise to lessen fatigue. In a back to back comparison of the x-12 and x-11, the rider said after wearing the new one he can't wear his old x-11 anymore."

Sooo does anybody have a Canadian MSRP on these and due date? Thinking of ordering one off from the usa if it's going be a spring release or something.

I noticed that they were up on the site yesterday. The Hadron is the only one that really caught my eye. Only one x-12 graphic helmet was up when I looked.

ya, the hadron is nice in tc-5 colour though... the white stripe down the centre is always sexy

although, i still prefer the rf-1000 caster... looks cool and asymetrical from both the front and back.

Helmet design looks good, can't wait to see how the graphics look on it.
Best part is that the liner is now removable which was the only thing missing from the previous RF-1000.
I hope there Isn't a new X11 though as I just bought mine recently.

Here's a site with the graphic models and colors available:

Do the RF1100's use the same shields as the RF1000's?

I think they're larger shields.

[chiller]

i haven't received it yet, i just ordered up a RF1100 ... I'll tell you guys when I get in a few weeks... wasn't able to try one on in stores, but can't pass up a good deal when you find one ... esp. with the dollar so high and me going to the states anyway for a trip, means no tax to bring it home, woot
