I’m sure you are aware of the crazy strong opinions people have of the Ruroc. I mean that is one brand people really tear down. My buddy owned one, and the coworkers at the bike shop he worked at were brutal. It’s really getting a rep as a junk helmet for noobs. I respect your opinion Maddox, is it that bad? I know that people don’t trust the connection. Double d rings have probably been around since 1919, and change is hard for some people. 😂 Honestly, since I haven’t had the urge to buy one(styling); I’d love to know what makes it so hated. Fill me in Maddox! Big fan of that Bell of yours. Big fan of your vids. I was about to order a blue visor for my LS2, does the view come across as blue? I’ve never used one.
Great questions B6! The latest Ruroc Atlas 4 is ECE 22.06 certified, which is no small accomplishment for any motorcycle helmet manufacturer. That is a universally accepted safety standard, and disproves a lot of the subjective and negative opinions about the brand. I've personally been impressed with the company as they've improved the helmet almost yearly since they came out with motorcycle helmets in 2019. I've always appreciated the innovation, and "bold" designs as well. It was the unique design that drew me to the brand in the first place. I know there have been some popular content creators who have had their negative takes on the brand go viral, but the safety certification speaks for itself. Now FIdlock vs Double Ding Ring...I get the hesitancy, but again I commend the push for innovation, and I haven't seen or heard and scientific tests that indicate the Fidlock mechanism doesn't function as intended. Now I can say that the fit and finish of my early Atlas 1 model is rough. The visor doesn't fit perfectly flush like my Bell or Suomy, the Visor mechanism isn't very smooth, and there is a significant amount of wind and air flow through and around the helmet - but that's also why I like it for really hot summer days! Bottom line, if someone likes the design(s) of Ruroc, I'd say go for it! But with that being said, my new Suomy is sweet!
@@motomaddox Moto Maddox shooting straight as usual. I was surprised at the ece rating. I’ve looked into safety ratings when looking up my LS2, and that’s one of the big ones. Guess it’s all subjective. Thanks Maddox, and that new Suomy lid is sweet.
...forgot to answer the question about the tinted face shield. It does not artificially color the view, and I get great visibility with all my tinted face shields.
It seems to run true to size for me. I use a ribbon tape measure to get accurate measurements, and followed the fitment guidelines. FYI, Suomy and KYT have a collaboration if your looking to make your purchase decision more difficult!
HA! Of course the money plays a big part here. There's the old adage of: "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday", but these brands have to have more than money to equip these riders. That's were all of these safety standards come into play, and for motorcycle racing, that involves the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Racing Homologation Program.
The UK has an excellent catalog of motorcycle helmet safety test results and ratings on the SHARP website: sharp.dft.gov.uk/

@@motomaddox just what I needed to know, thanks!
Does the Suomy runs small or is it true to size?

@@motomaddoxThanks a lot for the info!
Whatever he’s paid to use.
