[mageProductLink sku="375-0116-0105-03"]Shoei NEOTEC II
Helmet[/mageProductLink]. This modular motorcycle helmet is
replacing the ever-popular Shoei Neotec modular helmet and is
coming to market with significant advancements and upgrades to its
predecessor. With this new helmet we are experiencing a similar
"massive jump in technology" that we saw when the Neotec replaced
the Multitec back in 2011. In short, the NEOTECH II from Shoei
features improvements in nearly every aspect of its design and
functionality.
Weighing in at just 3.92 lbs or 1780 grams (medium, matte blue,
p/n: 375-0116-0132-05, MSRP: $699.00) the NEOTEC II features four
different shell sizes and five different comfort liner sizes that
make up the size run of XS through XXL. This combination of shell
sizes and comfort liners will allow users to truly get a custom fit
with the smallest and lightest exterior shell possible.
Not only did
the shell size change, the shape has been optimized and enhanced
through extensive wind tunnel testing. This testing brought forth
improvements for the integrated rear spoiler, Vortex Generator lip
on the face cover and airtight window bead, all of which assist in
managing airflow around the helmet while reducing wind noise. Noise
management was additionally improved with the all-new "Noise
Isolator" cheek pads which deflect wind helping to reduce unwanted
noise.
The extensive time spent wind tunnel testing on this motorcycle helmet
also allowed Shoei to look closely at how the air was being
channeled through the helmet. This new NEOTEC II now features a
more productive dual-layer EPS liner, a larger lower vent shutter
increasing air flow and an all-new exhaust outlet flank with
adjustable upper air intake. All of these improvements have made
for a more voluminous intake of air with improved hot-air
expulsion.
Other
areas of improvement for the NEOTEC II are the stainless steel
Micro Ratchet Chin Strap, enlarged single-button chin bar release,
distortion-free 3D injection-molded dropdown sun shield, a new
eyeglass compatible interior, a fully removable, and washable 3D
comfort liner. The NEOTEC II also features an intercom-ready design
to integrate seamlessly with the Sena SRL communication system.
If you are in the market for a modular helmet this year, the Shoei
Neotec II will not disappoint. Offered in six sizes with nine
different colors this helmet will be a real head turner.
