I have had people ask me what happened with Ruroc and the video where I said I would be riding with the Ruroc Atlas 4.0. I wanted to provide a little backstory as to what happened and why I switched back to my Shoei. I also wanted to share how I feel about the Atlas 4.0 and Ruroc as a company at this point.

Great video as always Dan. Always appreciate your honesty. Personally, I commute wearing my Atlas 4.0 and it’s been great in all weathers. Here in the UK, Ruroc can often be found at events where you can try on the different sizes which helps when purchasing the correct one. I know they’ve got out to a few events in the States too, most recently at Daytona.

I appreciate your honesty and transperancy, been looking for a new helmetet before my LS2 gives out on me, the rurocs caught my eye and if i had stopped at the first video and didnt do more research i would have passed on the helmet but im more than happy to be on the spearhead of new tech especially if it looks cool!

I live in Canada, I ordered the Ruroc 4.0 after watching your original video. I had to wait, but it wasnt riding season, so it wasn't a big deal. I do love the helmet and continue to wear it. It's very comfortable and quiet. I was fortunate I did not have an issue with size, or returning it. Thanks for the great videos and you, and following up on this one. I noticed you stopped wearing it.

@@brucenadeau4643 I didn't. For me I was right on the first measurement in the range, say a large is 20-30, I was a 21. I bought the recommended size. It was very snug, and it took a while to break it in. If your anywhere near the middle in the range go up a size for sure.

Thanks for that info Dan. I ended up buying the 4.0 as soon as it came out when I saw your first video about it. It was this or the shoei 1400. I knew what I was getting with the shoei but the designs on the 4.0 were a lot better imo and that is what essentially made my decision. That and because of the safety rating. I honored the sizing comments and ended up regretting it when I had to send it back to get a size up. Other than that I hadn’t had any issues with. Comfort is soooo much better than I thought it would be. Only thing I wish was better was the ability to communicate with other riders. I haven’t tried their app because I feel like it’ll just be buggy but phone calls sound good and audio is okay. Really, after all the safety stuff, the only thing is comfort and style. That’s what separates a good helmet from a “fancy” helmet. The padding materials. As for me, right now I’m happy with the purchase with the sizing issues in the rear view. But it does suck that management had messed things up with you. Keep up the great videos 👍🏾

I am currently riding with 3.0 and when I got it I was a bit disappointed with the padding on the inside, it was very thin and the helmet itself was lose feeling on my head due to the lack of padding, but I recently bought the thicker padding for my 3.0 from Ruroc and have to say I made a world of difference It fixed the loose feeling issues I had with the helmet other then that I really love my 3.0. Super glad they decided to make and sell thicker padding for the 3.0 and 4.0. If it wasn't for that I'd probably have moved on to a different brand

What I find funny is this helmet has the same mantra as like ford vs chevy. Brand loyalty on helmets are a bit silly. I own everything, Shoei, Ruroc, Biltwell etc. I love them all and they all serve a purpose for me. You hit the nail on the head what works for one might not work for all, and that’s ok. RU-vid comments CAN be a voice where negativity flourishes. I’m glad you did this follow up. I have found I will either reach for this 4.0, my Neotec2 or my RFSR depending on the ride I’m going on (or what Bluetooth is charged lol) Great job as always Dan!

I've had mine for about a year now. I like it, the HK sound system is good and easy to install. My main 2 issues are the visor doesn't shut flush so in heavy rain, it leaks and at 70mp/h, there's so much windnoise, you can't really hear the shockwave system. Unless there is a big improvement in those two areas, I'll be going back to either Caberg or Shark.

I ride with the atlas 4.0 and have been "happy" with it. It does have quality issues and quality of life issues, but not enough to make me want to buy another helmet. My problem with the company is how much of a gamble consumers have to make with an expensive purchase like this. I share the sentiment that get the helmet if you like the design but buyer beware it may come with some surprises.

Instead of returning it i bought another one next size up which again i received within a week or so and that one fit perfect very happy with the product will continue to buy once these helmets no longer function properly ….. plus the shockwave system is cool feature i added like how it keeps everything sleek in design and contained within helmet .

Hey Dan great video, I understand where your comming from with the distrust in the company. I agree with you on that based on my experiances. i myself have bought a 2.0, with shockwave system. This helmed is not up to standarts and has a lot of problem's. Some of these problems were also parts breaking of being incomplete after delevery. therefore i had to contact support several times. support was really bad, they basicly didnt know what was wrong or what i was talking about about there own product or didnt want to help. this is till about 2/3 months ago for my last contact. they make there problem mine and just come with unreasanable solutions like just buy the 4.0. i had my shockwave break and after about 4 weeks of mailing back and forth they said we dont have it anymore and we cant help you anymore (a little over a year after buying). I had to threaten to destoy my helmet and claiming the crash replacement before they magicly found another one that they could send me. and thats my biggest problem with ruroc, after you have bought the helmed you are no longer a "costemer". ot atleast it feels like that. becouse they no longer are willing to help until they have no other option. if they can fix this i would say it is a pritty good company.

I was so surprised at how good the 4.0 is. Such a big improvement over the previous ones and finally worth the money. Not sure how they got it quieter than my Shoei, but it sure sounds like it is. My only issue was the sizing. Going off of their size chart, and even going up one, it was painful to squeeze my head into it and was almost afraid I wasn't going to get my head out of it. Had to go up 2 sizes, and allthough it's still super tight to get on and off, it feels great when on and it is super comfy and quiet. I've been wearing it on super cold days and it keeps me much warmer than my other helmets as minimal wind is getting inside of it. Oh and, after waiting about 2 months after ordering on launch to receive the helmet, it took another 3-4 months to wait on the size up replacement. that was painful.

First of all, great (follow up) video. I can totally see why you would NOT want to be 'used' in a promo email when you had specifically asked not to be. For Ruroc to then go and use you in that email was unacceptable and wrong. Even though you actually complimented them on finally making good on their design for the new 4.0 helmet, it is up to you whether or not you wanted included in their promo material and they should have respected that. That said, I am glad to see that they HAVE listened to your rightful criticism and responded with an improved design. Kudos to them on that point. I know that from my own point of view, you have proven that you are purely putting out your own opinion and not a paid for shill actor for a manufacturer. (Something Ruroc could do to appreciate) After seeing your 3.0 review there was no way I'd consider one. After your 4.0, yeah, I might consider one! That's how it works. If they are charging premium prices, you expect a premium product. More power to you, and you have yourself a subscriber (with notifications!) Cheers! 👍

I love this helmet. I like the shockwave. As a sample size of one, I'm happy with my purchase. It's miles past the IconAirform I used to ride with. I paid for a good helmet that was maxed out on style points and its a 1000x quieter. It works perfectly for me. The company has some issues and thats a fact. They need to impove. However I think another issue is the motorcycle online community will also shit on a thing even when the reason they're shitting on it is gone. I've seen people in the last week complain about how they had to pay a customs fee in the states then disapear when you tell them they ship out of California for stateside orders now. People dropping them and them crying something broke....on a dropped helmet. People love to shit on a thing, especially if they support another thing. Motorcyclists if nothing else are huge brand whores. I don't think its something they can fix completely quickly, but if they can get their QA and customer service people in line they might heading in the right direction. Their marketing department also needs to ease back with drowning out youtube with sponsorships. Even if people are being completely honest about the helmet you'll see thousands of comments on how people are paid off. Honestly your helmet review is actually what I based my purchase on because you're given them shit in the past. At least I know at that point you'll be mostly honest about the helmet itself.

Have been following along with this journey and have been closely watching Ruroc since I discovered them around the time they launched the 2.0. I passed up the 2.0 and the 3.0. Was riding in a couple of AGV K1 helmets then got serious about an upgrade. Around the time of the 4.0 launch I noticed the amount of solid reviews coming in but noticed Ruroc as a company just didn't really seem to handle the growth as well as they could have, perhaps the sign of an immature company developing. Started following along with your videos and actually paused on Ruroc yet again, couldn't quite get behind them as a company. I now own a shoei X14 and a matte carbon EXO-R1 air from scorpion. LOVE these two helmets and use my X14 for track days as well. I ride naked bikes and love the look of the Ruroc with a street fighter style bike. Just goes so well. Recently have found myself intrigued by Ruroc yet again and have been considering picking one up as just a general commuter helmet and every day rider. Despite the short comings of the company as they've been growing/developing one thing I will say is that I truly feel Ruroc wants to do it right. They are taking on a helmet industry DOMINATED by long standing companies like Bell, Shoei, Arai, and AGV to name a few. They genuinely seem interested in creating a safe product that lives up to their name and to their price tag. I freaking love how they look and most street riders can agree they are very unique. I think moving forward with the 4.0 and later models they are now a helmet worth including in the conversation. I don't expect it to live up to my X14 but have been more open to giving them a shot. Still may hold off a little longer and wait to see if a 5.0 is in the near future within the next year. Thank you for the transparency with the experience you have had with Ruroc - been an interesting journey, albeit frustrating I'm sure.

I made the mistake of purchasing the Atlas 2.0. The quality and service I received back then was horrible. The spoiler on the back was separated from the helmet. Only attached by 2 sided tape which appeared to be corrupted prior to attaching to the helmet. Sent it back. They returned it with the exact same problem. It was not attached yet again. I thought it was broken. Just fixed it myself with epoxy since they didn't seem to have that ability. Rode to work and the shield attachment broke. They sent a new attachment assembly. Very unimpressed with the fit and finish at that point. It now rests on my desk as the most expensive paper weight I have ever purchased. I lost confidence in the quality with nothing more than 2-3 uses. If they couldn't get what I see to work properly what about what I can't see. Was the helmet assembled correctly or with small shortcuts? The 2.0 was horrible but I am willing to try the 4.0 with all the improvements. Thanks for the honest feedback and transparency. I hate that Ruroc has used paid reviews to boost their reputation. It is hard to get an honest review of the product when you don't know who is paid for the "independent" review and who is not.

I just returned my Atlas 4.0 Ghost… I did not even try it on, so I can’t speak on the quality of the helmet. There was so much controversy over the 4.0 for every good non paid review on RU-vid there is a bad one to counter it. But I loved the look of the helmet and against my better judgment I went ahead and purchased the 4.0 ghost. I waited a month to get it I was so excited when it came…… Then I opened the box and wow my brand new $700 helmet was blemished in multiple places the paint around the chin was bubbled in multiple spots I was not happy to say the least.. so I wasn’t willing to give them a second chance and returned the helmet. I wish so bad it would have came in perfect shape because I wanted this helmet since the 2.0 and kept holding off.. now the returned the helmet with no problem and gave me a full refund with out any issues. They even returned a self tinting pinlock I purchased after I bought the helmet and it was apparently past the return time so thumbs up to Ruroc customer service! I still think the Atlas 4.0 is the best looking helmet on the market and I’m very disappointed that the product quality is not up to par, I don’t understand how they even sent me a helmet in that bad of shape. I’ve only owned Arai and Shoei helmets my entire riding history which is 24 years now and I have never had a quality issue up to this point so I will be sticking with what I know from now on.

Thing is when you wear Arai you don't blink at the price point. I've had major accidents in arai and they paid for themselves. Shoei also though as I've gotten older Arai fits me better. If it's not a brand that doesn't exist in racing I don't want to wear it. It's not being a brand snob it's just how it is. The brands that race can't risk a cloud over their quality.

My issue with Ruroc was with the CEO of Ruroc saying that brands like Shoei, Arai etc were overrated. Coming from a person who's CEO of a company with 12 years of experience making helmets, many of them being for snowsports. Also the fact his attitude towards testing helmets properly was along the lines of "Why should we when people will buy them and test them for us." (All stuff that YammieNoob mentioned in one of his videos.) Do we also mention the guy who had an accident at 45mph who had several brain hemorrhages. Overall just seems like a very scummy company. Buying and reselling bicycle locks as "Helmet locks" and charging almost double the price for them was also very low. A company like that doesn't deserve my money.

Arai overrated? I had an 70km/h head impact with an armco barrier wearing an RX7 and it took it completely and saved my life. Doctors said even though I broke my C7 Vertibae the helmet took so much of the impact so well I should have been dead or a paraplegic in something cheaper.(And this back when plastic helmets were known to shatter) Do I want the same situation in a helmet with no racing pedigree or development? No. They might be good sure but not for my dollar.

I'm now seeing people selling on eBay to try and get rid of their helmets. i would stay away from ruroc.

I knew Ruroc from the snow sports industry and the clients they had were what we called in the industry "Gapers", which are similar to squids. The build quality of the helmets were bad and cost way to much for what you got. I think its similar in the motorcycle world, I wouldn't compare them to the AGV, Arai, Bell Or Shoei since those are manufactured in different countries and quality is different. I think they are in the same ball park as Icon or HJC both solid brands and also cheaper for what I consider the same helmet.

I owned the Atlas 3.0 and based on quality and fit and finish I wouldn’t buy another Ruroc product. Now after finding how they handled Trust Pilot reviews and the lack of integrity of them asking you to remove a video without watching it makes me not trust them as a good brand. I’d get a Sedici or a Scorpion because they’ve shown a quality product without trying to hide how poorly they designed and manufactured a helmet. To each their own. This company just hasn’t done enough to show they can be trusted and it’s a huge concern when I’m trusting my head to be protected in a life or death situation.

The concern I have is with Ruroc is the inability to try on the helmets without dropping a wad of cash upfront. After being burned in the past with an on-line helmet purchase, thanks, but no thanks, I think I will stick to brands I can go to a store and try on the helmet and check the size, feel the fit and finish of the skid lid especially if I am dropping $600+ dollars CDN. Yes I know you can return and exchange, but that is a hassle especially with customs and duty etc.

I've had so many problems with customer service and the Atlas 2.0 that now I look to see if youtubers are sponsored by them and I have a hard time believe anything they say about any product they talk about on their channel. The only reason I got it was because of so many youtube channels reviewing it and saying to buy it. When I go back through their videos though, not a single one actually continued to wear the 2.0. They all start out the same too, "Even though I got it for free, I swear it will be an honest review". Then they recommend buying it through their link, but never wear it themselves. Maybe some are actually wearing their 4.0 helmets, but I'll never buy a Ruroc again. Long story short, it does hurt people's brands. Also I bought my Atlas 2.0 in July 2020 and in 2 years they are already on a 4.0. In a few months it will be the 5.0. Most of the 3.0/4.0 accessories won't fit and won't be available. They just want people to buy new versions every year.

Alot more goes into a good helmet then just looks or feel. At this price point you automatically expect safety and comfort. I can buy a sedici for $250 and its safe and decently comfortable. The reason you pay a premium is higher tier comfort, pinlock ready, good airflow without compromising noise reduction

Ruroc lost me as a customer when I had trouble getting parts (pads mostly) for my 3.0 and Berzerker. After months of checking their website and seeing them not in stock, they told me via email that they could not tell me when they would be available. I asked if I could order some and they could ship them to me when they did come in. I was told that that was not an option, even though they do this regularly with their helmets. They make decent stuff, and I love the graphics, but anyone thinking about getting one needs to know that once they introduce a new iteration, support for the older models disappears.

Put the issue aside with, is Ruroc better than those other helmets. For now. Take advantage of having all those helmets cut in half and make some content. Please do a video where you get super hi-end close-ups, and then talk about the materials and construction. Maybe some of the manufactures philosophy behind each of their helmets. Of course this would require some research. Anyway just an idea.

I dealt with the scam ordering process with the 2.0 and had fully paid for the 3.0 at launch thinking I would get it within a reasonable time, after months of BS and delays I cancelled my order. It was no different than the 2.0 launch and apparently the 1.0 launch. With the 4.0 looking at the website I imagine it was no different, the "launch" date is complete BS and you will wait months before you actually get what you paid for. They sell you a concept and fund that concept with your pre-orders which creates stock issues due to production not being ready for the "launch". They are very expensive with a very good look and the internal audio IMO is what sets them apart from everyone else. If they ever stop lying to their customers I will probably buy another one, until I start seeing actual stock at launch however they will not be an option.

Let's say visor - after being replaced from clear to dark is a pain in the arse to open once is fully closed and fully close when it is openned. 🥴 I would like you to test Ruroc's Shockwave and try to connect it to their app ( it is crashing every time me and my friends trying to join the group ), try to make a call and collect the call, try to use google voice assistant etc. Love your honesty and hard work on testing helmets for us.

I think the real reason why so many mixed feelings is the helmet has flaws and for the price its just disappointing. Comparing this helmet to a icon airform there is not competition. Thats my personal opinion. I just order a agv corsa r helmet so i want to compare that. But so far the ruroc price needs to be reduced to around $280-$300 based on other helmets in the market and the quality ruroc puts out.

I bought the 3.0 and I never use it. It was not comfortable by any means even with the upgraded cheek pads. Because of this I have completely lost faith in the brand itself and do not want to waste my money again on what could very well be a turd. The fact that they showed what looked like a really great padding but what they sent was different and sub par then asked that we pay for the pads that ought to have been in there in the first place didn't sit well with me. I now have a cool looking expensive paper weight. Instead I bought another shoei to ride with.

That is so crazy they sent you so many half helmets. Ruroc seems to have an almost over reactionary response to their feedback. Oh the liner and cheekpads are too thin? Here, we'll stuff the hell out of it...and now they're too thick and the helmet weighs a half pound more. Oh you cut a helmet in half? We'll cut 9 in half. I think their next gen needs to be a bit more crafted and refined from the ground up instead of their ham fisted approach of bolting on fixes to their existing design.

You have to pull the dang thing out and orient the wires in just the right position or else you get that one problem.... for the cost of that thing it'd be nice if that didn't happen. Thankfully it's happened only twice within the almost one year I've had it.
