My buddy went down like 3 days after buying this. When he contacted them to order the shield attachment that was damaged they gave him a FREE helmet. They realised his address was the military base. Impressive
I bought mine like three months ago and it was finally delivered yesterday but the shell sizes are weird because the large shell I ordered is VISIBLY larger than the XL scorpion helmet I got previously and I look like a cartoonish bobblehead
Honestly one of the better reviews out there! Love how you actually took it on test rides, and on different bikes non the less. Plus you talked about likes and dislikes with your honest opinion. Appreciate it man!
This is probably one of the most honest reviews I have ever seen. Unlike any other review I have ever watched, you didn’t suck on RuRoc’s bosom or bash them because unjustly. Just a pure HONEST review of your opinion. Thank you!!
I got a little confused when I got up making coffee and looking at my email and notifications on my phone and here I was thinking about Taco Tuesday and this guy uploads and I was thinking Wednesday already. 😆 John I'm 57 and have been wearing Full Face Helmets since 1980, I just don't feel comfortable in a open face helmet, maybe because I have had a few sliders on the track and it saved my head and face from damage, Just my personal choice. LOL that company policy I see a lot dealers doing that, in fact I see the sales people walking bikes out, because they don't want to bother with a helmet.
That helmet clasp is amazing. It is built into the helmet I wear for being in a helicopter and everyday I work I wish I could put it on my full and half helmets I wear while riding. More companies need to start using that system!
Options EVERY motorcycle helmet should have when ordering 1) Modular, full, 3/4. or turtle shell 2) inner retractable tinted visor 3) Bluetooth speakers 4) Coms 5) Emergency pull tabs 6) Double D rings or quick disconnect buckle 7) Front and rear 1080p or 4K cameras with SD card storage 8) LED strips front, side, and rear 9) Tool less pin lock clear outer visor with multiple locking positions 10) HUD heads up display 11) at least 4 sizes
@@AQS521 very serious. Not all helmets should "have" these options installed on them. Helmets should have these "options" as in all helmets should have options. Will this make all helmets more expensive? Yeah the more options you put on it the more expensive, but you can get a bare bones helmet by choosing less options. How many times have you seen a helmet that you loved the look, shape, design but it didn't have this or that?
Yes, indeed. When they decided to add motorcycle helmets to their line, they really jumped in with both feet. They seem to be doing it right. I am very interested in this new 2.0 as a summer helmet & have communicated with them some. Very impressed with their willingness to communicate and answer questions. I believe they are going to be a serious player in an already crowded field. We shall see …….
@@oregonoutback7779 yes, they reply very fast before you buy it. After I bought the Ruroc Atlas 1.0 and asked them if they're serious about that poor Visor (mechanism, doesn't close completely, scratching the helmet, etc.) and the overall mediocre quality, they didn't reply anymore. They are AAA in Marketing but the helmet isn't worth the money.
@@bjrn250 ….. Thanks, this is sad, but good to know. When spending this kind of money, I want accompany that stands behind their product & will return an email or phone call. Very sad to hear. I was ready to pull the trigger on a 2.0 when they drop later today.
Oregon Outback you’re welcome. This was just my experience and there might be others. It was just like they send me tons of emails in the pre order time, very kind and on a „buddy-level“, but then they disappeared 😂 you can try 2.0, I think it’s slightly better than 1.0 and if you’re fine with a very loud budget style summer helmet, it’s ok. But I will definitely wait for 3.0 or 4.0 when they fundamentally improved the helmet overall.
Have watched a couple of other reviews on this helmet, and you all have given it a pretty good grade. The graphics are very cool. And hey, go easy on us old guys with the CB’s on their touring bike. LOL. It pretty tough to get a enclosed helmet that doesn’t have wind noise as it finds the openings and crevices to blast thru. Thanks for another truthful and complete review.
Good that you stretched the review over a couple weeks, multiple bikes, Great review, thanks. Yep I'd like to see the shockwave system install/review, sure why not.
The loudness or quietness of a helmet greatly depends on what is on the outside of the shell. The smoother the shell, the quieter it will be. Extra lines, joints, and vents along the side of the helmet will cause it to be louder.
Interesting to see so many reviews on this helmet. One thing that seemed to be in common except this review is the shotty padding that would be more on the lines of an entry level bicycle helmet.
I wear half helmets myself, but if I was getting a full helmet I would probably go with the Ruroc, the reviews have been good and honestly if John likes it I am sure it is a great helmet.
God damn its good to have ya back bro! Been missing your videos! Seeing some more back in the shop is great too! Take care of yourself and enjoy that family, they are only young once.
I owned the Atlas Gatekeeper with a Shockwave and I really wanted to like it, but there were a lot of little issues that soured my experience with it. The paint job was awesome but had multiple spots where paint was not applied and showed the primer. The visor would not seal around the nose area and in order for it to stay down, I had to keep that screw very tight, which in turn scratched the side of the helmet when the visor was lifted. Helmet was very loud and could barely hear the awesome Shockwave system, in my opinion, the best audio for a helmet hands down. But the worst was the helmet pressed against my forehead, nose, mouth and chin, which made it nearly unbearable to wear. I honestly hope they fixed a lot of these issues with the 2.0 versions.
Just ordered mine today! If your a Veteran or a current Hard Charger, email them and they will email you back a 20% discount code. You will have to email them back proof of service first, ie; VA card or DoD. $363 instead of $447 for The Atlas 2.0 black. Semper Fi
Can't beat a Shoei GT Air, they were tested and have less noise than the best modular helmets that are reputed to be the quietest due to the tighter neck roll.
I actually talk to Ruroc on Instagram, and I said to them "what if I got 1 helmet for every day of the week" they said back "that would be awesome!" And I made a list, and now I want all of the helmets haha
I just ordered mine, based on your review. I ride in A as well, and the LS2 I have vents for crap. Hopefully, I can tolerate this one when I get back from the sandbox in May. Thanks!
I think my Bell Bullitt helmet is the best. The most comfortable , the least closed in feeling for a full face, and the least restrictive on your vision. It is also a favorite of Adam Sandoval who has ridden all over the USA many many miles in a Bell Bullitt.
You and DanDan The Fireman are the only two with a comprehensive review of this lid. Most people are just glorifying how cool it looks. Granted, it does look cool but, protection is first priority when speaking of a helmet.
So glad you did this review! I was super close to buying one but definitely won't now... their version 1s are $475 so I assume this HAS to be priced at $650+ when they come out. For that price I want pure perfection lol. Noise is one of the main things I don't like about my cheap $120 helmet. Plus I cant believe that the smoke visor isnt built in (fighter pilot style). Too many things not PERFECT for the price.
I feel like too much emphasis is put on the weight of helmets nowadays. I don't believe that a helmet manufacturer can have structural integrity as its main priority when trying to put out the lightest helmets...
the exterior design is good, face shield swap works well but not liking the turn clip coming off, cuz I will drop it into the abyss. But like you said in your Shoei video, I too only buy from a reputable company with good history, so I will definitely put off buying any Ruroc for at least another 10 years, but I'm glad to see it's ECE rated though, that's a good sign. Also digging the emergency tabs hanging out, hopefully that makes it way easier to spot for EMT.
@@Habs31 which is why I return so many. I'm rocking the xxxl Scorpion exo Covert right now. Have yet to find a decent second helmet that fits as good as this one does.
I actually prefer the view of the chest mount, depending on what bike you're riding. might buy one for my go pro. Helmet looks awesome, almost storm trooper like
I like to hear everything around me, that's awesome, think about it, when you put in ear plugs, put on a helmet and it takes away your sense of surroundings, can't hear if your about to get smashed with a car or truck... that's me.. great work buddy..
i really appreciate the good review, i've been skeptical of this helmet due to complaints i've heard and yeah i could of just bought it and see for myself but that's a very expensive test. Definitely think i'll be buying this helmet and i love the design of the helmets its totally bad ass.
Great review John! Yes, please do a review of the Shockwave, i gotsta know how it does out in the real world. I understand its not a comms unit, but is it loud enough, clear, ease of use, battery life. Or do i just get the helmet and invest in a Senna or other brand?? Thanks!! Best motovlog out there, keep it up!!
Only problem I see right off the bat is no tab on the faceshield so you can lift it easy with your right hand without reaching around. Around me it is always so cold and wet fogging at stops is a problem so I want to flip it up as soon as I stop. Also I always keep it in gear at stops so my left hand stays on the clutch. Most helmets are this way though so no real surprise. Have just heard so much good about Ruroc I hoped that they addressed the industry issue of making the faceshield left hand only.
That's actually the helmet I was interested in. I was concerned about the noise and the safety of the chin area with that significant air vent. I was willing to tryout the lid so I signed up for the giveaway. I had concerns about committing that amount of money to a helmet that I cannot see, touch or feel.
Well I went and ordered one,we shall see my friend said that I have to sell my Sporty and buy a crotchrocket to wear that 😂😂😂 I’ve been using open face helmets but I think it’s time to think about my face maby.....
Great review. Lock on helmet is a fidlock brand. Friend of mine got a 509 snowmobile helmet. Awesome design for the lock though want to get one to install on Simpson mod bandit.
It's a good looking helmet John and very good review on it, I'm one of the old guys that use to wear a 3/4 helmet and using the cb and intercom LoL 😂, keep up the work brother 💯✌️😎
@gemini232003 I wear a half helmet most of the time, but we do a lot of riding in Arkansas and there isn't any helmet law's there, so as soon as we hit the state line we take ours off, I don't like wearing a helmet either, I think it should be a choice, Missouri is trying to do away with the helmet law again this year, but I doubt it passes again, and no we don't conform to easy LoL, ride safe brother 💯✌️😎
@gemini232003 Missouri has tried for the past few years to get rid of the helmet law's, but I doubt if it passes again,it should be a choice anyway, I've talked with a lot of people that sells helmets and most of them will tell you that if you have your helmet in your hand and drop drop it,that you should replace it, don't make any sense to me, so if you drop it from 3' off the ground and have to replace it,🤔 it probably isn't that much protection anyway, ride safe brother 💯✌️😎
Nice! I dont like that pins have to be removed for shield removal. I'd get a couple of extra pins. On Atlas' site they have a video showing how to install their Shockwave. Very easy & clean install. That's impressive
I can't help to think that that flimsy screw used to fix the visor to the plastic is gonna last a couple of days at most. And believe me, you don't have to crash to break it: just slide off to the ground from the seat or the fuel tank and that's it. The visor holder is gone. Happened twice in 2 different types of helmets. Cheap ones with the logical consecuence of having to throw the helmet away because there was no place to buy spare parts and with an AGV Corsa, that costs 5 - 6 times more. Happily AGV sells all moving parts for the helmet and was a matter of a few bucs to have it perfect again. But this one... sorry, not for me. Although the helmet looks insane!
SUMMER HEAT, I'd really like to see the ventilation comparison of this 2.0 Atlas helmet VS The Klim Pro that is just as light and has a unique tubular impact design that adds to the ventilation. Both have the same magnetic strap ...
I have had a Ghost bandit on my head for over a year now . The noise factor is what I wonder about. So far I have no complaints with mine but to buy one you say is noisy has me thinking not. If anything I would love less, I can still talk to myself just fine in mine :
Ruroc has one of the best customer services I have ever dealt with. My brothers glass cracked the other day. He sent them a picture of it, and they just send a brand new glass. Fricking awesome company!
I do not wear full face usually but that looks nice and the lack of weight looks great,P.S. in 15 I was in a major crash had a 3/4 helmet on it obviously worked I'm still here but my face was beaten up quite badly
Atlas 1.0 owner here..... great review John. I love my helmet but sure do wish I had the upgrades that the 2.0 got.... the quick detach visor is my number one complaint.
James Peterson we have external Sena units on my wife and my Atlas’s. We didn’t get the Shockwave as it doesn’t have the ability to intercom between the two helmets and we like to have the constant link between our bikes when we are riding. The ventilation is great for the Texas summer heat but it does make it harder for the coms. When I’m riding solo and just listening to music I can hear everything just fine. Hope that helps.
My buddy went down like 3 days after buying this. When he contacted them to order the shield attachment that was damaged they gave him a FREE helmet. They realised his address was the military base. Impressive
If it wasnt a military ... 🤪🤪
Most likely your friend purchased the optional crash replacement plan for $20
If this is true ...
I salute both !
Once yot wreck in a helmet you're suppose to replace the helmet. It dosent matter what part if thr helmet hits the ground it's compromised
Awesome
I dont even have a motorcycle, but i wanna buy one now, just because of this helmet.
I bought mine like three months ago and it was finally delivered yesterday but the shell sizes are weird because the large shell I ordered is VISIBLY larger than the XL scorpion helmet I got previously and I look like a cartoonish bobblehead

"and a couple bags of do not eat" lmao!!!
I thought those things are seasoning packets!
Highly disappointed..lol
That is a phenomenal-looking helmet.
My icon helmet has that pin lock too and for the first 200 opens it was rough. Now it's pretty smooth.

The strap lock is a "Fidlock HOOK 25 alu motorbike", you can buy them like that and retrofit other helmets with it.
The view window is why I like my Simpson. Great video
A John Maxwell video on Tuesday. Hell Yeah!!!! I enjoyed your review and unboxing.
The loudness or quietness of a helmet greatly depends on what is on the outside of the shell. The smoother the shell, the quieter it will be. Extra lines, joints, and vents along the side of the helmet will cause it to be louder.

That helmet looks great. Looks great on you too. Half a pound is huge on the head.
Good and honest review John. Appreciate it brother. 👍🇺🇸
I have a Shoei Air 1. And I ride in South Texas...I don't mind it in the Summer. I like quiet. Great honest review. Thank you

Been good with Shoei for over 20 years. Some Arais...Takes some getting used to with other helmets. These reviews help.
At 7:31 you actually said ".....at my mouth stuff." I'm all alone in my office laughing my ass off. Thanks, I needed that!
God damn its good to have ya back bro! Been missing your videos! Seeing some more back in the shop is great too! Take care of yourself and enjoy that family, they are only young once.
At highway speed the wind noise is no worse to wearing a open or half helmet. It’s not bad. I like it 😎😎

Before I even think about spending that kind of coin on that helmet I need to know how good that bluetooth performance is.
Good video!👍
Its excellent. I have one on my 1.0 platinum ronin helmet. Love it
Just got mine a couple of days ago , Ruroc atlas 2.0 Shogun
Ohhhh! The sticker on the face shield peels off! That will make seeing out SO much easier.
That’s debatable.

I feel like every full face should have this by now.

Then you don't understand that you can do both with new materials.

Also digging the emergency tabs hanging out, hopefully that makes it way easier to spot for EMT.
I'd really like to hear your take on the bluetooth quality for sure. Great review.
My issue with buying things from "Online only" stores, I can't try them on! I have a big head, all my friends wear L, im XL in most :P
i feel the same way, but im a XXL lol theres like a 40% chance ill have to return it lol
Oh yeah. Same here. I'm a XXXL in most. I've returned MANY helmets. HAHAHAHA
Christopher Arnott iv never even seen a XXL helmet. Most stop after double x
@@Habs31 which is why I return so many. I'm rocking the xxxl Scorpion exo Covert right now. Have yet to find a decent second helmet that fits as good as this one does.
I have a beachball for a head ...
The Scorpion Exo-R420 snell approved and has great features! And pretty quiet. Love it! Check it out.
I wonder if the well spoken 1400 also quiet like the 400's...
What head shape is the helmet? Round, oval, medium oval, etc... just curious.
Thanks!
...that is a question only Sponge Bob would ask.
Yeah, intermediate oval is obviously not going to work for your head mate. You'll need a flat, elongated rectangle profile.
Nice, review. I just wish they would have included the bluetooth system in the helmet and not a $150 upgrade.
It would be $150 more expensive then.
I actually prefer the view of the chest mount, depending on what bike you're riding. might buy one for my go pro. Helmet looks awesome, almost storm trooper like
Love the latch and the peripheral vision.
Thanks John.

Good review John.
Thanks
My ls2 citation has a great lens swap feature its just a spring loaded button. Piece of cake great helmet for the price
Nothing beats a SHOEI and lite doesn't mean safe!
I only like modular helmets as much easier to wear and for the summer or rain and snow... it s great.

About the visibility thing: that's not Ruroc only, it's a specification of the European ECE Certificate. Just an fyi ^^
Good review and would like to see more of what it has to offer. Thanks
Awesome review 👍
I’ve been wanting a Ruroc since I heard about them. Sharp looking helmets. I think I’d get one over a Simpson.
Good looking lid. But today a visor change shall not involve loose parts.
On your bike without shield it’s really good. I like that sound. 😎😎
I like the chest mount angle. Helmet looks bad ass
It's Aerospace-grade T300 Carbon Fibre lol I love the shape, but I'll still keep my Simpson. No hate, the helmet is beautiful!
You should do a review of the Harley helmets.
I have the Capstone modular.
Coffee from PR ❤️🇵🇷!! Nice Helmet!!
The best!

Love the way it looks.
How would you compare it to the Simpson ghost bandit
Great review. Lock on helmet is a fidlock brand. Friend of mine got a 509 snowmobile helmet. Awesome design for the lock though want to get one to install on Simpson mod bandit.

Nice! I dont like that pins have to be removed for shield removal. I'd get a couple of extra pins. On Atlas' site they have a video showing how to install their Shockwave. Very easy & clean install. That's impressive
At first I thought “wait you already reviewed this helmet” and realized it was another motovlogger I watch and felt bad for confusing the two.
Who was it

And believe me, you don't have to crash to break it: just slide off to the ground from the seat or the fuel tank and that's it. The visor holder is gone.
Happened twice in 2 different types of helmets. Cheap ones with the logical consecuence of having to throw the helmet away because there was no place to buy spare parts and with an AGV Corsa, that costs 5 - 6 times more. Happily AGV sells all moving parts for the helmet and was a matter of a few bucs to have it perfect again.
But this one... sorry, not for me. Although the helmet looks insane!
SUMMER HEAT, I'd really like to see the ventilation comparison of this 2.0 Atlas helmet VS The Klim Pro that is just as light and has a unique tubular impact design that adds to the ventilation. Both have the same magnetic strap ...
It's a nice looking helmet, it's also looks very light. My complaint is the price.....this helmet is on the same level as the LS2 but at 2x the price.
I like that roll through the stop sign on a damn Police bike. lol
I have had a Ghost bandit on my head for over a year now . The noise factor is what I wonder about. So far I have no complaints with mine but to buy one you say is noisy has me thinking not. If anything I would love less, I can still talk to myself just fine in mine :
Just bought ghost bandit last night..
Ruroc has one of the best customer services I have ever dealt with. My brothers glass cracked the other day. He sent them a picture of it, and they just send a brand new glass. Fricking awesome company!
I do not wear full face usually but that looks nice and the lack of weight looks great,P.S. in 15 I was in a major crash had a 3/4 helmet on it obviously worked I'm still here but my face was beaten up quite badly
Thanks for the review I would like to see the blue tooth video I have been looking for a new helmet
The bags of DO NOT EAT are like your signature I know I'll get in most videos. lmao
Atlas 1.0 owner here..... great review John. I love my helmet but sure do wish I had the upgrades that the 2.0 got.... the quick detach visor is my number one complaint.
dkrueger85 how is the audio quality. Looking for a Bluetooth helmet between this and sena. Your thoughts
I believe they are offering some sort of discount for 1.0 owners. Check with them.
James Peterson we have external Sena units on my wife and my Atlas’s. We didn’t get the Shockwave as it doesn’t have the ability to intercom between the two helmets and we like to have the constant link between our bikes when we are riding. The ventilation is great for the Texas summer heat but it does make it harder for the coms. When I’m riding solo and just listening to music I can hear everything just fine. Hope that helps.
Oregon Outback I’ll check into that. Thanks bud
dkrueger85 thanks for the input. Safe riding.
Ruroc! Rules!
Take them there do not eats and put them in your tool box. Keeps impact sockets from rusting.
I think those helmets look sweet but I am still a diehard Simpson fan.
I prefer King of the Hill.
Make sure to grab you a butter finger
Great, in depth review. Thank you. There is a Platinum Ronin 🐉🔥 with my name on it.
How do you like the Bluetooth set up? Can you compare it to other brands?
amazing stuff
