Hi TS , any update on this ? I too find the ruroc to be pretty sick , especially their new limited edition Atlas Ronin. Which is ECE and DOT certified.

No not yet. I decide not to buy first

Some of my friends say better don't deliver to Malaysia. They suggested to deliver to Singapore and go there collect it.

Either wear it or throw away the delivery boxes and stuffs. That's how some of my jb friends did

thread update. Actually in the past it isnt hard to buy a imported helmet

But now Malaysia very fussy introducing the SIRM certification which is very problematic and impossible to import a motorcycle helmet or even electronics .

I bet my money and managed to buy it and ship over here but have to pay huge taxes. SST + import tax + malaysiaboleh fees to release out from custom . ALMOST HALF OF THE helmet PRICE !@#$%^&* sad.gif. Malaysia introduce WAY TOO MANY TAXES which make no sense



DO NOTE THAT THE custom will inspect and open your box. It did mine and i am very not happy with it since there are so many fingerprints... unboxing a opened brand new item is not pleasing

DO NOT LABEL the shipment as a motorcycle helmet. Just tell the importer do not label it .... label as a Ski, bicycle or scooter. Malaysia is very strict when they see motorcycle helmet and will steal it for their own use

If the box labeled. Just tell them not to include it

PLEASE KNOW YOUR SIZE before buy.

ITS A BIG HASSLE. Better order and deliver to singapore ( i only found out later that singapore have a receiver service ) They have a service where good members will receive the product for you and keep it

When you are free and just visit them to collect it.
