Well, here we are making another video about the same damn helmet lol. I never thought I would be revisiting this after I sold 2 months ago. What do you think? Do you have one? What's your opinion on this helmet?

I’ve always admired the fact that you always give honest in depth reviews on your channel. It’s becoming harder and harder to find that on here.

Appreciate that a lot man! Unfortunately everyone is paying everyone to have an opinion that fits their narrative. It’s a shame man. I’ll never sell out I promise lol

100 percent agree with audio setup great sound but garbage usability

@RidinDad 13 күн бұрын

Honest, I just looked at their website a few days ago, and their new EOX helmet has a new version of the shockwave that fits on both sides of the helmet in these kind of air duct spots and the use ability actually looks pretty decent. I might have to try that helmet out and that Audio set up. They also partnered with Cardo For a version of that shockwave, which is very nice to see

@rm25088 Ай бұрын

alright, thought about it for a minute. Aria or shoei it is when the time comes again. Even Sedici looks alright. I heard the strada 3 is good. Whatever it is, it needs a sun visor.

@RidinDad Ай бұрын

Yeah sedici has stepped their game up. Being an in house brand for revzilla allows them to have a lot of feedback from testing of theirs and other helmets that they listen to I feel. I haven’t tried one of them yet but they’re on the list for sure.

@@RidinDad For $399 for the carbon one, you can't really go wrong. The other ones a $100 cheaper. I like the carbon.

Yeah that’s really cheap for carbon.

Aite Bruh I rock a Schuberth e1 RN. Where does the e1 rank in your opinion? Yoi mentioned shoei & arai a lot. Was curious how you felt about Schuberth. In particular the e1. 🙏🏾

@RidinDad 7 күн бұрын

I know Schuberth has a good reputation. There’s something about them that I don’t love. I’ve never been motivated to buy one honestly

@rollandklontz 4 ай бұрын

The carbons are the same price as an rf1400 and no where near the same build quality and Shoei actually has customer service

@RidinDad 4 ай бұрын

Yeah and can be bought at reputable dealers online or locally. Actually free shipping for returns too. Much better

@Malato12 4 ай бұрын

Same thing happened to me. I really had a bad experience, I sent the helmet back to change due to size issues and basically got sent exactly the same helmet. I'm not even saying the same model, the same exact helmet that I had received originally.

@RidinDad 4 ай бұрын

Wow. Unfortunately that does not surprise me at all. They lie quality control and care for the customer is non existent!

Do you know if Ruroc manufacture their own helmets or do they just use suppliers and assemble?

@RidinDad 4 ай бұрын

I believe it’s in house but I’m not 100% sure honestly

@BikesBeardsAndBrews 4 ай бұрын

shockwave missed the mark so hard that they are gone for the new helmet coming. Sucks you had so many issues with this helmet

@RidinDad 4 ай бұрын

That’s awesome. I know you messaged me also but you did not include this cool information with it. Lol I just assumed you meant their new shockwave would have been partnered with Cardo. I would 100% be willing to give their helmet another try in the new iteration of it, especially since the Cardo will be part of it.

@jordanrichard1640 4 ай бұрын

Is this information a leak? Who has stated the new shockwave will be using cardo tech?

@BikesBeardsAndBrews 4 ай бұрын

@@jordanrichard1640I have my sources, although you can see it in rurocs actions as well. Ruroc and cardo had a giveaway over the summer where you won a cardo and any choice of ruroc helmet. This giveaway makes no sense with the fact that they have the shockwave. Pile on to that. Every single promo that Ruroc had recently involved getting a free shockwave out of the deal. You can tell that they're trying to clear their stock. Just like right now they have a deal where you can get four or five visors for like 60 bucks. So they're essentially telling you that the current visors will not fit the new helmet that they're going to be dropping real soon

@gtoramirez 3 ай бұрын

Shockwave isn’t going away. Although something premium is in the pipeline. Pack riders will be happy with the new EOX.

@Bu3asKo0o0r 2 ай бұрын

100% agreed with everything you said

@RidinDad 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! It’s crazy when people respond to my videos like this and our self for the product and bash everything I say about it that’s negative. And then you ask them what experience they have with other helmets to compare it to and the only other ones they have tried are like $99 eBay specials if that. it’s truly one of those you don’t know what you don’t know kind of things. Just trying to save people from wasting money and supporting a company that behaves like this.

Gentleman , save your pennies and get a Shoei. Thank me later.

I feel overall arai is better. But shoei is number 2 for me. And very close

@ZazrianZinZee 3 ай бұрын

Soo much hate on Ruroc. I am happy with my helmet and still get compliments on it 3 years later. Mine is dope. Now I'm looking at their new EOX with all the bells and whistles. Stage 2 your face gentlemen. Your dome is definitely worth at least a grand. I feel like dudes with shoei and arai helmets on "cruisers" look like the fat nerds that wear full body reflective suits. lol, dork.

@ZazrianZinZee 3 ай бұрын

Ridin' dad is cool. Love your vids bro.

@RidinDad 3 ай бұрын

Lol, thanks man! I appreciate it. And honestly, honestly, I used to feel that exact same way. I felt like those helmets looked so out of place on cruisers, but then I started trying them on and using them and it really is like a night and day difference with the quality, aerodynamics, and comfort. I would definitely recommend you trying one at some point. But there is no denying that the atlas has a very sharp styling. They are just so damn big and all the other issues I have with them. I cannot the comfort though, I’ll be honest. They are very comfortable once you put them on. I just feel like there are so many other better options for the same price point.

@ZazrianZinZee 2 ай бұрын

@@RidinDad You are totally correct. I've been watching more vids on shoei and arai. I am super impressed with arai and their dedication to safety and the fact they never sold out to investors to protect their goal for safety above profit. 🪖

Yeah man arai is my top favorite. Shoei is super close though!
