How does the fit compare to an RSX? I had an RSX Medium- perfect. I’m typically a Med.
The RSX and the RSR2 size the same IMO. If you are a medium in the RSX order a medium in the RSR2
Hey man I bought a Shark RSI with Laconi graphics and it is an awesome helmet in all regards from the quality of graphics, weight and comfort.
I hope you sell a ton of these.
i wear a medium in the scorpion exo 1000, would that mean that i have to have a small in the rsi?
I would suggest the small in the RSI if you are wearing a medum in the EXO-1000. I also wear a medium in the Scorpion EXO-1000 and have to wear a small in the Shark RSI for a proper fit. Hope this helps
the sizing info was totally helpful. I normally wear M in most helmets but I took the advice and ordered S and it fits me spot on. thanks sportbiketrackgear.
Glad to help out
i have an rsx, why are they being discontinued? i was under the impression that rsx was “better” than rsi, and their just deleting the model?
The RSX is one model above the RSI in the Shark line up. It is being rreplaced because it is very similar to the RSR2 and for that reason sales were slow a bit
Brian, do you know what the usa flag scheme is called? there are 2 graphics with an american flag going on.
I also love the brazilian flag edition which is in the rsr2 and the rsi lineups.
That was available in the RSX model which has been discontinued. We have one or two left now.
i wear a size XL in shoeis and HJCs. would you say i should look into one size smaller for the shark RSi?
just bought an rsi with deferent colour it’s a good helmet im very happy with it
i tryed out an RSR2 and an RSX in extra small which is the size the fits me nice and snug unfortunately I HAVE A BIG NOSE!! LOL!! My nose rubs up against the front of the helmet pretty good!! I tryed on the RSF in extra small and there is a clearance for my nose, I’m wondering if the RSF and the RSI fit identically?? I would rather get an RSI but there are none locally to try on.
I feel the RSF3 and the RSI fit the same for me.
I bought an RSI from your site, based on your comments. I just wasted ~70 bucks on shipping and time. It fits more like an RSX or RSR2 with my nose hitting the chin bar still. I googled it, apparently I’m not the only one with this problem. I could tell my lips were also unusually close to the chinbar, too bad cuz the helmet fit very well otherwise. On a clearance rack at a local shop I tried on an RSF2i and it had more clearance. is the RSF2i and the RSF3 the same???
I have never seen or worn an RSF2i. If you have an issue with nose clearance with this helmet you may experience this with many brands IMO. I do not exactly have a small beak and have zero issue with clearance.
tried on shoei, arai, scorpion, kbc, icon, agv in the appropriate sizes and never had this problem. Mind you were talking millimeters here, just a few more millimeters and this wouldn’t be an issue.
No knock on STG or shark, the helmet was great otherwise, just a heads up for others.
Good review. I’m onto my second shark helmet now, and it’s the exact RSI this guys showing. Previously had RSR, I’m really happy with it.
Just one thing to consider, I don’t find that the RSI runs absolutely one size larger…
My RSR was a large, and I needed a large in the RSI too.
