  • Ruroc Fired me as a sponsored rider well over a year ago now. I made a response video not because I wanted stir up drama or anything. Mainly wanted address the comments by you all about the helmets being bad quality. Well the response I got from you all was shocking but even crazier was the email I got from Ruroc themselves!

    I've always said that products/bikes given out to influencers tend to be "cherry-picked" to the absolute best quality they can provide. The average Joe's like us that buy these products tend to get the short end of the stick in the end.....

    Man... coming out and talking about this stuff takes courage. Companies who are sponsoring videos like yours really need to think about how they treat customers you're bringing to the table... because it reflects on YOU the kinds of experience they're having. I really hope Ruroc will step up their game and start making quality a priority.

    I remember saying in the comments when I ordered the jeans that I was a little bit sad that I’m in Australia and not America because you used to sign packages. So when I opened my delivery, they had a hand print outlined with snakes drawn on it saying ‘Jake was here via proxy’ and it was the absolute best!!

    My first brand new helmet (I started riding with a hand-me-down helmet before I knew that helmets had "expiration" dates) was one of the first models that Ruroc came out with. It wasn't really anything to brag about. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either, but I decided to give them a couple chances and when the 2.0 and 3.0 were released I got them just to try them out. The quality (again, my experience) seemed to get better as the newer ones came out, especially with the accessories that you could add to them after purchase. (I have the Atlas Shockwave on my 3.0 Atlas Spitfire and it works well). I haven't pulled the trigger on a 4.0 Atlas or the Eox because of your video actually, and that's mainly due to the fact that over the years of watching your videos, I've known you to be one of the most honest motovloggers on CZcams ever and you don't let brands sway you and I respect that.
    I do like the new 4.0 track helmets, more specifically Stars and Stripes. Would be cool to see that sort of design in the regular carbon and street series as well as on the Eox.

    I had bought a berserker helmet when ruroc were at peak hype tbh regretted it not long after getting it only took a couple wears for the padding to deflate a bit and became a bit loose fitting to where it was noticeable and the visibility out of it is terrible honestly felt like you get maybe 60° out of it

    Mainly nothing but good with Ruroc for me. I have the atlas 2.0 and The only problem that I have is, there is no way of getting more visors or pin locks and I really need a new pin lock they said they only ship them out to people in the UK not in the US since it's a 2.0. I'm not out here about to spend another $500- $600 on a 4.0 when all I need is a $25 pin lock.

    I bought one ruroc helmet and they will never get me again. Fit was awful, padding constantly wanting to fall out of it, awful wind whistle and practically a bobble head at high speeds making it hard to see/focus. Ive worn $150 helmets that are better, let alone $500+ for ruroc. Scorpion is the best bang for buck helmet imo

    Ruroc Atlas 4.0 Liquid Carbon,…. Not gonna lie, I bought one based on not only yours but others review of it. Took a while for it to get here to Hawaii. Great helmet other than a few quality issues, shockwave keeps falling out, rubber trim doesn’t stick and keeps falling off, weird lump rubbing my top left skull that’s irritating…. Reached out to Ruroc twice via email and never heard back. Chalked it up to just shitty business practice. It’s still my only street helmet, I can’t afford a good one after convincing my wife to dropping a good amount of money on a “good and safe” helmet. Live and learn I guess. Aloha 🤙🏽

      I will point out that I never reviewed a Ruroc helmet. I had it in my contract that I wouldn't. A sponsored rider can't truly review somethings they're being paid to wear. Even if I did it honestly it would hold no weight. So my deal was I'd wear them exclusively, post the links, and tag them when I can. But sorry they ignored you. Hate hearing that.

    Ruroc is a terrible company and their products are expensive trash. The only reason I still have mine is because it was an expensive gift from my wife. I have had to glue trim pieces back on, the straps suck, they offer crazy discounts on and off, so if you do want one just wait till they are 50% off. The shockwave system sucks and is crazy expensive. £650 for a helmet and Bluetooth is expensive and you don't expect them to fall apart after a couple of rides.
