I am debating upgrading from my RF-1000. Is the X-11 a big improvement?

My only grip with the RF-1000 is the lens gets foggy at low speed if I don't prop it open a bit. I can use the little lever to hold it open but it gets old adjusting it all the time. I was hoping the X-11 might have better ventilation that would cure this.

Will I be able to buy the same size? I'd like to just do the online thing.

Well I have never owned a RF-1000. My first and only helmet is the X-Eleven and I love it and as far as what your telling me it sounds like the X-Eleven would be perfect for you. Although I have never had to use it because my len has yet to fog up on me their is a lever on the side of the X-Eleven that you set personally to how much you want it to open for quick ventelation from poping up the lens a little bit but like I said I have yet to have a "fogging up" problem yet and I have had my Helmet for about 3 months now.

Same size for me. I haven't ridden in an RF1000, I've only tried it on, so I can't comment on the fogging.

I can't even get the size L RF1000 on my head but my X11 L fits perfect.

I had an RF900 and the X11 vents better but is much noisier... which doesn't bother me because I wear earplugs.

From the website it looks as if the X-Eleven does have a better ventilation system. The X-Eleven has dual liner ventilation system so that in itself is a huge difference and like I said before I have never owned the RF-1000 but I did the same thing you are asking me "research" which lead me to buy the X-Eleven over the RF-1000 and I am a very staisfied cutomer. I have never had the face shield fog up not once....

Looks like I'll have to at least try one on before I order.

I didn't have the option of buying the X-11 when I bought my RF-1000.

Thanks, now I have to go buy a new helmet....

Justification is all I need...
But honey, it doesn't fog up as much, so it's much safer.....

had the rf1000 for almost 3years. i've always had the fogging problem. it gets pretty bad when it's cold out and i have a few blocks of slow speed riding before getting on the freeway. i usually have to just leave my visor open until i get up to speed. love the helmet otherwise.

I've been all over Europe, Middle East, Central and South America but never to the the far east. I have always wanted to go to Japan, so please tell me it's the land of milk and honey. I had a korean girlfriend, of course she hated the japanese.(she was a doctor, so she didn't really, but her family did obviously) In any case I have had some japanese friends and they want me to visit, I just haven't been able to yet...

well its propably too late but i have an rf-1000 and its a great helmet no complains yah maybe a little foddy when its cold or low speed some times but honestly x 11 is the same helmet but minor vent upgrade
maybe the x 11 will be better on low speed or at cold weather but the little fogy thing doesnt bother anyone just lift the visor a bit and ull b fine

[Guest]

lol not really bro lol
sorry i didnt mean that at alll :nono:
to be honest with u i had some foggy raids only when it rains or its getting really cold cause the fr 1000 is really well balanced helmet and of course x 11 is the one after it and abviously the improved version


and tribaltim once again lol no i am not saying that u are slow or anything i was just talking about riding slow might cause foggyness maybe im not sure

but yah alll my respect to you all im just talking about the helmets lol not riders

The X-11 and RF-1000 are not the same size at all. The RF-1000 is more rounded then the X-11, which is long oval.

The RF-1000 is still a oval, just a little round compared to the X-11.

The X-11 fits my head perfectly but the RF-1000 is a little loose in the same size, for sure there is a difference, I confirmed with Shoei head office on this one.

 

[Guest]

Either way it was kind of funny........hahahahah:thumb:

Ok a couple days late on this but ill throw my hat in the ring

I have both x-11 and rf-1000

x-11 better over all, more aerodynamic, lighter, comfort, less road noise

when you put all this together the x-11 is a way better helmet

My rf-1000 is now just a passenger helmet
