Thank you for being so transparent and showing the pros and the cons instead of pretending the helmet has no flaws. There is a reason I have been subscribed so long lol
For the price tag, yes... I waited for the 3.0 but its the same shit as the 2.0. Looks great, but ... Too loud, and quality is too low for that price or for a "premium"... Ordered a Shoei GT air 2
@@fabinho69fs For 500 bucks you can get all the flagships, HJC Rpha11, Scorpion R1, Caberg Drift evo Carbon, all that stuff. And I haven't even listed the stuff from Bell, Arai, Shoei
Biggest complaint I've seen consistently seen is that they are loud inside the helmet. lots of wind noise. is that what you found? for an almost $600 helmet, it should be church quiet. Great video. glad you're doing them again.
Price doesn't really define quietness. The helmet is full carbon, Light and has great airflow. These attributes will contribute to a noisier helmet. You can buy a polycarbonate helmet that will be quiet but it will be a lot heavier on your neck and won't have the airflow desired.
Use better padding and make sure you have closable vents. You could get it to have less wind noise. Your helmet is no better vented than most others so that's a bad excuse. Helmet looks bad ass and I dig it but people are right on the nose that y'all skimped on quality interior. It's a 300 dollar helmet at best.
Agree on your comment at 17.15 about excessive wind noise. on you Recently bought an Atlas 2.0 and Bluetooth kit in their sale. Dissapointingly, the wind-noise is EXTREMELY NOISY , so much so I am considering another helmet (Have also installed their plug kit to seal all the vents). The helmet has superb looks, great features , but the noise actually had my ears ringing for some time afterwards on one trip. Couldn't find any decibel level for the helmet anywhere online, and no response from Ruroc on this. Ruroc would not let me return the helmet. Spent a lot with this company on this helmet, which I am now not using.
Awesome clip man I have a 2.0 looking to get a 3.0 and appreciate you reviewing it. I too ride with visor cracked open just big enough to let the right amount in. Keep up awesome content.
Maybe they should've just actually put proper(or even functional for that matter) vents on it so you don't need to do that. Fake vents on the side for looks and vents on the top and back that you have to BUY plugs for and take the helmet off just to open/close is about the cheapest/laziest shit I've ever heard of. If they're cutting corners on venting...I shudder to think what other corners they cut in design/manufacturing.
I friend has the Flip C3 (current bersion C4) , and it seals around your neck giving you a very quiet helmet, possibly a better seal than their non flip versions
That mirrored visor is awesome! So good to see you back. You were and are my favorite motovlogger. Im an auto/diesel tech and just feel more connected to your content. Your review also led me to buying my '19 heritage 114. Looking to do bars and on the fence about 14" bars or just adding a riser for height and pull back since I'm 5'7". Ride safe and keep wrenching. Big dirty thumbs up!
That whistling killed it for me. I ride visor up all the time in FL. That really sucks. I was looking forward to this as the one i’d finally buy. Maybe the 4.0
Ahhh, the Universe is smiling now that the "King of Dirty Thumbs" is back!!! I don't need a new helmet yet, but when I do, I think I'll give that Ruroc a test.
Every time you bless me with a video, I realize how much I miss your content. But hey, I take what you have to offer and am thankful :) Great video as always, you were nearly drooling all over the helmet and the camera (man/woman) lol Shop looked rather empty, hope you are doing alright and family does, too. Stay and ride safe.
I wondered what happened to you, I watched you when you were a tech at the dealership, then nothing, today I found you again ! I'm so glad you took the leap , covid timing was bad but if you floated above covid and survived the hardest time in history, and remained open ,it's going to take time to build your business, with no budget for advertising, your going to have to rely on word of mouth, be patient, the day will come when your booking a month or 2 ahead because your swamped, and your next decision is hiring more techs,more bike lifts & maybe a way bigger shop,if the dealership &you are the only game in town,& you're beating the dealership prices then go for it ,I hate the dealerships, you walk in the door and it's H.D.(Hundred Dollars) I like the small guys they're more personable &the service is far better, the guy I go to I bring him a case of carb cleaner every 2 weeks weather or not I'm getting something done or not, as he has done things above & beyond for me & for others he's just a good guy & he knows how tight money is right nowadays & if I can help him save on overhead that helps him ,when he does work on my bike ,the day of,I call & ask him,breakfast,lunch,or dinner ,and I bring it for him,his tech ,secretary & his parts guy too ! A tech / owner that a regular guy like me can trust , is more important to me just knowing that I'm not going to be taken advantage of on parts&labor for stuff I don't need just to make a buck ! That's why I have no problem showing my appreciation to him by doing what I can for him, mind you I'm 65 and still riding and on a fixed income ,a lot of times I'm allowed in the shop area,and grab tools for him, or go pick up parts he ordered ,he loves my stories of the s%%t I've seen,done, we're becoming friends, he knows I'm the real deal ,and always ask him to not let his pride stop him from telling me if there is anything else he needs ,but he's so humble he won't say ! I just let him know that I want more than anything for him to succeed & I'll do what I can to help him & be there for him ,I try to make him smile or laugh when he's having a bad day ,soon he'll say I really needed that thanks, sometimes everyone just needs to look at things from some old guys perspective, we're as old as dirt and we have seen & done or had things done to us with age comes wisdom . I wish you or I were closer , I'm in California ,I know I hate it here but I can ride year round,& lane splitting, although scary&dangerous it is legal, especially with an air cooled 883,traffic is not my friend ,I do slow down ,the law says no faster than 35mph ,but I've seen crotch rockets going 60 -70 mph & they run from the hwy patrol especially if traffic is that congested ,there's no way a patrol car is able to get past L.A.Traffic jams , and bikers know all they need is a large muti level parking structure and they get away ,it's sad but true ,good thing that's not me ,my wheelie days are over, I don't e. exceede the speed limit, my mindset is ill get there when I get there enjoy the ride and look out for knuckle heads in cars,trucks & drive defensively my life depends on it ,I'm looking for a small compact air tank and 12 volt air pump to be able to power a single train horn,that can be blacked out & hidden or camouflaged, it is the left turn idiots that always turn in front of me that pass me off ! And the puny Harley horn seems useless, today's cars,trucks,suv's are designed to block noise,and the younger folk have to blast their music so loud you can hear it 3 blocks away and your on the 10 fwy! My 94 sporster does not have a Rev limiter, not that I would use it like the sport bikes do,but a horn that they're not expecting from a motorcycle is an eye opener, I know you can't legally condone my actions ,but maybe you could point me in the right direction ?(wink-wink) the system has to be small,compact,&the tank has to be pressure tested to over 150-170 psi there is a screw in bung for the pressure switch and has 2 -12 volt leads on it & I think it has a bleed off after set pressure is achieved, or maybe it just shuts off and stores the compressed air till its needed ? I just don't know ! I only know 1 thing if I'm hit that's it I'll never heal up ,lose a leg ,break a hip,or be D.O.A all because someone didn't see me ,I don't have the strobe headlights ,so every intersection that does not have a designated left turn lane , I toggle the high beam & low beam well before I enter the intersection hoping like hell they can see me ,sometimes they still turn left in front of me there have been too many too close for comfort times ,even wearing a reflection and orange vest has not helped, they still turn in front of me , can you figure something out I can try ,I'm thinking about a fire extinguisher , but I'm not sure how much pressure they're rated for ? What do you think? OK I've bothered you long enough ,it's time for my nap ,LOL, NOT
Fucking hell man I’m super jealous right now. That’s is one of the coolest looking helmets I’ve seen in a long time. That carbon is so beautiful on that thing. If I had that right now I don’t even think I could bring myself to wear it. It would be on a display shelf.
Looks good. Neck area and bigger chin curtain probably helps with noise reduction. Im waiting for a long oval version. Sticking with Arai Signet til then. Thanks for the update!
Hey John thanks for coming out with more videos ,,I know it's not easy given the amount of work you got going on..( Congrats) anyway it is appreciated ! Hoe you continue to prosper and keep em coming !
Thank you for being the one review that actually indicates things are extra. I was so slighted when the 2.0 didnt come with pinlock as every review said it did, and then it costs 25 for the pinlock and 26 for shipping on it. still wish they would give another shipping option because thats ridiculous for shipping when you dont need it 2 day delivery which is actually 7 to my area anyways.
I bought the XL based on the sizing chart, but it had that little wiggle as well. I was worried that after the padding breaks in it would be waay too loose. I sent it back to exchange it for the L. With the shell size being the same, the padding should be thicker and hopefully that will work.
LOOKS DOPE FOR ALL OF 15 MINS OUT OF THE BOX.AFTER THAT U QUICKLY REALIZE U HAVE BEEN HAD 500 HELMET WORTH ABOUT 50 IF THAT.WOULD NEVER WANT TO CRASH IN IT I DONT THINK IT WOULD FAIR TO WELL
My thoughts: 1. The first open position for visor a huge plus for venting. 2.0 was too high, exposing my eyes. 2. I see they ditched the plastic tabs on the visor you had to swap between shields. Huge plus. 3. As on the 2.0, it doesn’t appear the vent switch makes much of a difference. Also, not easy to manipulate switch. But its a very cool looking quality helmet
Disappointed in the 2.0. can't close vents unless you purchase plugs, very noisy, speaker quality is average at best (not even close to my Cardo JBL speakers). I've heard of issues with the snaps breaking when installing a Cardo or senna unit. Looks nice but now collecting dust as I grab my HJC RPHA 70st.
GREAT HELMET...good to see you back Max - i know you've been swamped, running your business is all time consuming so we appreciate when you get time to do videos!
That's a pretty nice looking helmet there Spaceman John. Wow! They sure aren't cheap. Makes a new helmet an seldom purchased item. I will definitely wait until my current helmet expires.
Welcome back old friend. Good to see you and hear your voice. A bit of wind noise with you riding without a windshield. Other than that it sounds great. Really quiet with the shield down and something wrong with microphone.
@@KupJSM oh, I ordered my Atlast 3.0 Joker helmet as soon as it released at 9:01am AUS and it’s been 2 whole days now so I’m not sure if they are just taking their time since it’s a limited edition product but yeah. I appreciate it though man
John you're a good dude I enjoy your channel 👍. I'm still not convinced on this helmet, and specifically nor for the price. I'm honestly wondering if the company owners even ride.. a helmet has to be function over looks, not the other way around.
The 2.0 are still on the website. So I contributed woo hoo! I help your analytics 👏 Also, they call one of them "Spitfire" and put the Flying Tiger's shark face on it 🤣 they were an American Volunteer group in early WW2 in Southern Asia. Flying P-40 Warhawks... yep I'm a nerd I know 🤷♂️
5:13 ya and they waited till ship day to tell everyone they needed 30 more days....that I don't respect. Was stoked for the Atlas Reaper 3.0 but after that news after being so hyped for so long.....I took a refund 🤷🏼♂️.
Great overview John! How the heck did you mount your go pro to the front? Is there a special mount? That's one of the things holding me back from trying one of these?
Man, that visor is very transparent for a mirror finish. Still looks awesome though. Most of their designs are a bit much for me, especially just for going around on my cruiser. The Titan carbon looks really cool, but I'm not a fan of gold, even though it just has a little gold. Liquid carbon is nice as well
I wish they would think about after market coms systems when they make their helmets. Love the helmet but If I cant put my com system on in I’m not a potential customer of theirs.
Im watching this with headphones on and every once and awhile I look to see if my dog is wanting up on my lap, but she isn't there. Happened like four times, then I saw your dog walking around🤣
Jon I ordered the atlas 3.0 about 6 months ago and ended up canceling my order. Original said 4 weeks and I gave them an extra week 5 before I called . I was told how sorry they were and it would be another 4 to 6 weeks. After that time I called again and same thing another 4 to 6 weeks So after 4 months I finally gave up and asked for my money back. I really liked the helmet but felt I would still be waiting. Did you say they are under a different dealer now?
Good Morning John! I've been in the market for buying a Ruroc helmet for some time now. I kept noticing that the crimson color was constantly out of stock and so I finally wrote the company and asked them about it. I received a reply from "Grant" at the company and he said they were no longer being stocked. Rather than directing me to another model, or giving me some sort of future to see with a Ruroc on my head, he just left it at that. I'm not into the graphics and I would like something that would match my own style and bikes. After the short discussion with Grant, his decision, I guess there's no future with Ruroc and myself. Decent looking helmet though. It looks like Grant has decided to leave me with wearing HJC for a bit longer.
Could you compare sizing to a Biltwell? I see Ruroc goes to 2XL like Biltwell, however, a 2XL Biltwell doesn't go past my eyebrows. Thnx for any additional info
Hey John how are you? I would like your advice, I live in Florida and my goal is to buy a Harley Davidson Fatboy from 2018 to 2020 until December, what is the best time for that I talking about price and promotions that HD usually to do.
I bet it’s the cheek pads. They are too big on the 2.0. I wonder if they sized them down a bit. I do love my 2.0 I just wish they had an American outlet
Great to see you back, I just got me a go pro and have a road glide with 14” factory 47 handlebars and would like to know the setup you have on your handlebars. Could you put the links up? I would appreciate it.
My only issue with the 2.0 was that no matter the vent position i still had air coming in, blowing directly into my eyes and drying them out. Not terrible short term, but very uncomfortable after about 30 min. From the sound of it, they didnt fix that issue
The seal has been updated, but I also wear glasses, so I’ve never noticed my eyes drying out. That would absolutely suck. I wear contacts, and they dry out easy. Which is why I wear glasses under. I do that with every brand of helmet, tho, since I ride visor up so often.
Kuryakyn Road Thunder Black Sound Bar Plus by MTX, pay attention when researching as there is a 150 watts and a 300 watts version. Also, if you have no windshield, it is only good up to around 35 - 40 mph. With windshield it sounds great through all gears and speeds with half helmet ... Not sure about FFH ...
I wanted one of those helmets actually purchased one and they kept delaying shipment it was going to be 3-4 months in getting one had to go with Shoei guess one has to be famous to get one lol nice helmet
Thank you for being so transparent and showing the pros and the cons instead of pretending the helmet has no flaws. There is a reason I have been subscribed so long lol
Not interested in a new helmet, but appreciate the information and like seeing videos from a highly trained unprofessional.
Awesome John glad to see you back at we missed ya brother for sure.
Weird how the people who aren't paid to shill for this company say these helmets are trash.
I mean people I know who have paid for it like it.
For the price tag, yes... I waited for the 3.0 but its the same shit as the 2.0. Looks great, but ...
Too loud, and quality is too low for that price or for a "premium"... Ordered a Shoei GT air 2
Ruroc has some shady practices
@@fabinho69fs For 500 bucks you can get all the flagships, HJC Rpha11, Scorpion R1, Caberg Drift evo Carbon, all that stuff.
And I haven't even listed the stuff from Bell, Arai, Shoei
so true. This helmet is trash. I bought one and immediately regretted it. I should have bought a Shoei or Arai
16:16 - A lost sole 😔
HA! HA!
That police car at 16:05 must have been looking for that lost sole.
And the Helmet is not good. you should first think about your audience rather than sponsorship deal
I am a new new rider and I have picked up a lot of things from your videos that have help me along the way
Glad to see ya back John and yes the 2.0 is still on the website.
Want to say thanks, your videos have been a lot of help. Welcome back.
So happy to see you back. Please keep your content coming. You are the best !
Biggest complaint I've seen consistently seen is that they are loud inside the helmet. lots of wind noise. is that what you found? for an almost $600 helmet, it should be church quiet. Great video. glad you're doing them again.
Price doesn't really define quietness. The helmet is full carbon, Light and has great airflow. These attributes will contribute to a noisier helmet. You can buy a polycarbonate helmet that will be quiet but it will be a lot heavier on your neck and won't have the airflow desired.
Use better padding and make sure you have closable vents. You could get it to have less wind noise. Your helmet is no better vented than most others so that's a bad excuse. Helmet looks bad ass and I dig it but people are right on the nose that y'all skimped on quality interior. It's a 300 dollar helmet at best.
The mirror visor is nice because when using the bar mounted/rider facing GoPro, you can still see the scenery ahead from the reflection. It's nice.
Great review Missed your videos man. Great to hear that theres more to come!!!

For that price I would go with a Schuberth helmet.
I've seen a Schuberth helmet in person, to me they're medicore overpriced German crap
140bucks for a replacement visor or something, like are they dumb. Not even photochromatic
Bonus Schubert helmets don't leak in the rain!
@@johnmitchell9705 my 100€ Caberg nevr leaked in the rain either. Even with the top vents open

Of course we wanna see more

Love the honesty. Can’t please everyone. Personally I wouldn’t buy one but that’s me.

U enjoy the videos and the information you give to us.
There he is! Big dirty thumbs up brotha!!!
My thoughts:
1. The first open position for visor a huge plus for venting. 2.0 was too high, exposing my eyes.
2. I see they ditched the plastic tabs on the visor you had to swap between shields. Huge plus.
3. As on the 2.0, it doesn’t appear the vent switch makes much of a difference. Also, not easy to manipulate switch.
But its a very cool looking quality helmet

Welcome back old friend. Good to see you and hear your voice. A bit of wind noise with you riding without a windshield. Other than that it sounds great. Really quiet with the shield down and something wrong with microphone.
How long do you reckon it would roughly take them to ship a helmet of theirs from the UK to Australia?
At least a day
@@KupJSM oh, I ordered my Atlast 3.0 Joker helmet as soon as it released at 9:01am AUS and it’s been 2 whole days now so I’m not sure if they are just taking their time since it’s a limited edition product but yeah. I appreciate it though man
Too fancy for me, ill stick wi my Bell Bullet.. Great to see yall Back John 🤘
So not any particular mentioning on the howling noise????
what size is your noggin and what size helmet did you order?
Hey Bud, was that whistle in the helmet or your bike... ?
John you're a good dude I enjoy your channel 👍.
I'm still not convinced on this helmet, and specifically nor for the price.
I'm honestly wondering if the company owners even ride.. a helmet has to be function over looks, not the other way around.
damn i really miss this guy
The 2.0 are still on the website.
So I contributed woo hoo! I help your analytics 👏
Also, they call one of them "Spitfire" and put the Flying Tiger's shark face on it 🤣 they were an American Volunteer group in early WW2 in Southern Asia. Flying P-40 Warhawks... yep I'm a nerd I know 🤷♂️
you can tell when someone has never owned a top end shoei/arai/agv
Exactly. This is absolutely a poor quality helmet.
in the process of getting my liscence, gear, bike and curious what helmets have that good decal design and look out there for like 500 and under?
@@marcusgreen9466 thanks mate
Currently riding in an RHPA 11, on track and street. Really wanting an AGV next
@@marcusgreen9466 Are you able to remove the stupid Bell logos all over their helmets? The helmets look great but man, that Bell logo just kills it.
5:13 ya and they waited till ship day to tell everyone they needed 30 more days....that I don't respect. Was stoked for the Atlas Reaper 3.0 but after that news after being so hyped for so long.....I took a refund 🤷🏼♂️.
That is a very good point. I did not take that into consideration.
Great overview John! How the heck did you mount your go pro to the front? Is there a special mount? That's one of the things holding me back from trying one of these?
Man, that visor is very transparent for a mirror finish. Still looks awesome though. Most of their designs are a bit much for me, especially just for going around on my cruiser. The Titan carbon looks really cool, but I'm not a fan of gold, even though it just has a little gold. Liquid carbon is nice as well
Woohoo 2 videos recently. Please keep it up
Thanks
Novelty helmet or no helmet for me. It may not be safe, but its damn comfortable!
Nice looking helmet I put it in my wish list nice looking handled bar.nice to see that softail heritage again 👍👌😀
I wish they would think about after market coms systems when they make their helmets. Love the helmet but If I cant put my com system on in I’m not a potential customer of theirs.
Im watching this with headphones on and every once and awhile I look to see if my dog is wanting up on my lap, but she isn't there. Happened like four times, then I saw your dog walking around🤣
Always fun and entertaining to watch your channel. That is a gorgeous looking helmet. I have a big head so I think this helmet is made for my head.
Jon
I ordered the atlas 3.0 about 6 months ago and ended up canceling my order.
Original said 4 weeks and I gave them an extra week 5 before I called . I was told how sorry they were and it would be another 4 to 6 weeks. After that time I called again and same thing another 4 to 6 weeks
So after 4 months I finally gave up and asked for my money back.
I really liked the helmet but felt I would still be waiting.
Did you say they are under a different dealer now?
Good Morning John!
I've been in the market for buying a Ruroc helmet for some time now. I kept noticing that the crimson color was constantly out of stock and so I finally wrote the company and asked them about it. I received a reply from "Grant" at the company and he said they were no longer being stocked. Rather than directing me to another model, or giving me some sort of future to see with a Ruroc on my head, he just left it at that. I'm not into the graphics and I would like something that would match my own style and bikes. After the short discussion with Grant, his decision, I guess there's no future with Ruroc and myself. Decent looking helmet though.
It looks like Grant has decided to leave me with wearing HJC for a bit longer.
Could you compare sizing to a Biltwell? I see Ruroc goes to 2XL like Biltwell, however, a 2XL Biltwell doesn't go past my eyebrows.
Thnx for any additional info
I wish Ruroc would send me mine that I orders months ago….
Hey John how are you? I would like your advice, I live in Florida and my goal is to buy a Harley Davidson Fatboy from 2018 to 2020 until December, what is the best time for that I talking about price and promotions that HD usually to do.
Great looking forward to more videos.
Sounds like the helmet whistles quite a bit at higher speeds. 🤔
It does whistle, it’s kinda weird. I forgot about it since I ride with a windshield.
I bet it’s the cheek pads. They are too big on the 2.0. I wonder if they sized them down a bit. I do love my 2.0 I just wish they had an American outlet
How long was your wait i am still waiting for mine
Damn! That bike with the windshield looks and sounds familiar! I'm saying it looks JUST LIKE MINE!
I've been waiting for this video. Wanted your take on the new 3.0 helmet.
Great to see you back, I just got me a go pro and have a road glide with 14” factory 47 handlebars and would like to know the setup you have on your handlebars. Could you put the links up? I would appreciate it.
Isn’t your sight too dark when wearing a tinted visor and sun glasses?
Not in sunny GA. Now when the rain rolls in quick, things get dark real quick…
My only issue with the 2.0 was that no matter the vent position i still had air coming in, blowing directly into my eyes and drying them out. Not terrible short term, but very uncomfortable after about 30 min. From the sound of it, they didnt fix that issue
The seal has been updated, but I also wear glasses, so I’ve never noticed my eyes drying out. That would absolutely suck. I wear contacts, and they dry out easy. Which is why I wear glasses under. I do that with every brand of helmet, tho, since I ride visor up so often.
Makes sense. I wear contacts too, just dont like the hassle of the glasses so i typically rely on the visor
Looking forward to new content buddy, glad your doing well!
My road thunder won’t always connect to Bluetooth automatically.
Why aren’t you at Harley-Davidson anymore?
Hey what kind of helmet mount do you use for your GoPro on this ?
Hey, great review, but im curious what brand that speaker system is on your bike. Ive got a sporty and need some tunes ;)
Kuryakyn Road Thunder Black Sound Bar Plus by MTX, pay attention when researching as there is a 150 watts and a 300 watts version.
Also, if you have no windshield, it is only good up to around 35 - 40 mph. With windshield it sounds great through all gears and speeds with half helmet ... Not sure about FFH ...
That whistle sounds like brewing tea. Lol
it's about a $200 Helmet with a $300+ style tax. But got to get whatever sponsor you can to keep the lights on.
I wanted one of those helmets actually purchased one and they kept delaying shipment it was going to be 3-4 months in getting one had to go with Shoei guess one has to be famous to get one lol nice helmet
Reviews from normal people is NOT flattering. If you ordered, cancel.
@@swapsplat yea I guess so lol and I did cancel and they refunded thank goodness
