Review Shoei Neotec 2 Modular Helmet TheShoei Neotec 2 is a Modular Helmet design that replaces its predecessor the original Neotec The previous Neotec was one of if not the best available It targets the touring rider that wants a high quality helmet What they basically did is take the original neotec 1 helmet and developed it into todays standards This resulted in various improvements in safety ventilation wind noise isolation the visor mechanism visibility aerodynamics and comfortable fit Despite the name the Shoei Neotec II is much more than a simple upgrade As one may expect from Shoei this helmet is full of innovation It has set the bar for all new high quality Flip-Up Helmets The best comparison could be made with the AGV Sportmodular Shark EVO GT X-Lite X-1005 Ultra Carbon Roof BoXXer Carbon Schuberth C5 AGV Tourmodular Scorpion EXO-TECH EVO Carbon and the HJC RPHA 91 The most expensive is not always the best helmet in terms of quality Especially modular helmets are the most challenging to manufacture and that is why few brands have delivered a model that can actually compete with this helmet Apart from its direct competitors this helmet is miles ahead of the competition But what makes a good modular helmet At Champion Helmets we tested the helmet for a good review to give you a good idea of what you can expect Safety Shoei Neotec II Shoei leads the market when it comes to safety Like its predecessor the shell is made of Shoeis extremely strong AIM material – which stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix This fiberglass composite is used to produce the three different shell sizes This avoids the use of unnecessary material in the small sizes to make the shell suitable keeping the helmet light-weight The 3 different shells enable a superior helmet that is tailored to the different head sizes Also the helmet has a shock absorption EPS liner and a stainless steel Micro ratchet This micro ratched closure offers you a quick and smooth opening and closure It is easily adjustable to the right fit The inner shell of Double Density EPS is engineered to absorb different impact scenarios making the Shoei Neotec 2 offer unrivaled safety for the rider The EPS has the same thickness all over the helmet interior The internal sunvisor QSV-1 is integrated in the helmet without handing in on the safety of the EPS The helmet shell is raised a little bit at the forehead area to add space into the helmet for the housing of the sunvisor It has a one-hand operated flip-up mechanism that allows you to one-handedly open and lock the chin guard in the flipped-up position Something that many other modular helmets dont offer It is also certified to be used as a jet helmet as well as a full face helmet When the helmet is in open position it is used as a open face helmet and when the chin piece is closed the helmet is used as a full face helmet The Neotec helmet combined the two categories in one helmet without submitting to safety It is recommended though to ride with the chinbar in closed position for the best possible safety This helmet offers you the possibility to have a quick snack or drink at a gas station for example by just opening the chin bar without having to remove the helmet Acoustics Touring riders know how noisy the average Flip-Up Helmet is Unlike Full-Face helmets Flip-Up helmets are often loud due to the various seams and openings in the Flip-Up mechanism Perhaps the Achilles heel of the previous Neotec I where the Schuberth C3 Pro scored well is the sound insulation A major change is the complete renewed acoustics The helmet under went extensive wind-tunnel testing which has led to a very quiet helmet The Shoei Noise Isolator cheek pads reduce noise and are a big improvement in making the helmet quiet These noise reduction keeps you really focused especially when you are making those longer trips it is important that those features eventually lead to noise reduction Another big difference is the complete elimination of air flow through the sun-visor mechanism All this results in a very quiet riding experience Ventilation The air intakes are a great difference compared to its predecessor With the renewed air inlets on the chin forehead and backside Shoei took a big step forward in the ventilation The front ventilation on the Neotec II is operated by a glove-friendly panel on the frontside With a smart slider on the top you operate the top ventilation The air flows into the motorcycle helmet through the chin and top vents and warm air is sucked out through the rear vent Shoei Neotec 2 Face Shield Shoei has always been the frontrunner in highly sophisticated visor mechanisms And the new shoei CNS-3 Visor is a demonstration of advanced visor technology This Shoei patented system works in a clever way When the visor is opened the chin bar comes forward a little and more importantly vice versa when it closes in the riding position This smart system ensures that the visor when closing fully connects with visor mechanism and is – kind of – being sucked onto the shell to completely close air-tight This unique system that we partly saw on its predecessor has been further developed and is fully integrated This is a strong example of Shoeis Leadership The CNS-3 face shield ensures distortion free view and offers 99 protection against damaging UV Rays of the sun The helmet features an Integrated sun-visor QSV-1 that is easily operated with a slider on the left This gives the rider instant relief from the sun when necessary The position of the internal sun shield is seamlessly integrated into the helmet shell maintaining its aerodynamic design The Shoei Neotec Two comes with a UV-resistant Pinlock evo fog resistant lens The visor is very easy to replace thanks to its clever visor mount Sena SRL Communication system / Bluetooth Unlike its predecessor a Sena SRL2 communication system has been developed specifically for this helmet The SRL is produced by SENA only All you have to do is insert the microphone and speakers in the front of the helmet a pre-cut channel is already there The Sena SRL1 Intercom module is clicked on the side of the helmet making it perfectly integrated in the helmet shell to avoid annoying noise Click the battery at the back of the shell And youre good to go At Champion Helmets we offer you the possibility to buy a bundle helmet combined with Sena SRL 1 communication system with a nice discount Shoei Neotec 2 inner lining The removable and washable interior has also had a considerable upgrade In particular the previously mentioned Noise Isolators in the cushion is an important addition enabling greatly improved acoustics The cheek pads consist of multilayers that contribute to helmet stabilization and comfort They are also in 3D to shape to the riders head Together with the cheekpads the chin guard prevents wind and noise invading the helmet The lining offers a really comfortable touch to the skin and at the same time it offers a firm enclosure of the head This The extended leather chin guard and the extra wide chin strap minimize any unintentional inflow of air and thus noise into the helmet Shoei Neotec 2 features
