Review on Shoei Neotec II Helmet (X-Small) (Light Silver) by David Weis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good but not perfect helmet

Just bought this helmet and took it with me on my first ride. This is the third Shoei I own (RF-1100 and GT-Air) and definitely the best. Outstanding aerodynamics. There's no tremor at high speeds, whether I'm looking straight ahead or turning 90 degrees. Modularity is a real advantage. I can put on the helmet, raise the front and have a full view to finish dressing. Compared to my GT-Air I'm not sure if the Neotec 2 is significantly quieter (hence 4 stars and not 5). I can hear wind noise, although it's not bad. I look forward to Sena's release of their SRL communication system. I bought the helmet partly because of the built in Bluetooth capabilities. If you're looking for a great helmet and $1,000 for a helmet and SRL, that's a lot.

Pros
  • High marks for fit and durability from testers
Cons
  • Everything great
