The Shoei Neotec II flip-up helmet was a permanent companion for 5,000 kilometers. How did the flip-up helmet perform in the long-term test?

The first Neotec that was refined in Shoei’s in-house wind tunnel convinced us in the long-term test. Number two is in no way inferior to its predecessor. With a firm, but extremely comfortable padding, the helmet from traditionally Japanese production perfectly encloses the head, and even after 5,000 kilometers it sits as wonderfully full as on the first day. The same applies to the sophisticated controls such as the opener / closer for the hinged chin section or the wide ventilation slides.

Ventilation works very well

The Neotec II is closed with a bold click, which is S-Class level. The ventilation works excellently, especially through the large overhead inlets a wonderfully refreshing breeze flows into the helmet on hot days. The removable lining stays in wonderful shape even after several washes (our tip: gently with hair shampoo). In addition, driving noises are hardly an issue. We also liked the large field of vision and the good comfort of the flip-up helmet.

A real hit is also the Sena communication kit + SRL, which can be perfectly integrated into the helmet (surcharge 299.95 euros), which can be operated with intelligent menu navigation while driving and musically impresses with its crystal-clear sound and official bass. if Shoei if we can think of something for the somewhat fiddly visor change, we are completely convinced.

Noticed positively: Very quiet; large field of view; Top comfort

negative noticed: Changing the visor remains a bit too fiddly

Sizes: XS to XXL

Price: from 599 euros

MOTORCYCLE Rating: 4.5 stars out of a possible 5

Conclusion

The Shoei Neotec II has served us very well over a long period of time. In terms of comfort, fit and durability, almost nothing was left to be desired over the 5,000 kilometers. The interaction with the Sena-Connectivity-Kit SRL communication system was also good. However, the combination of Shoei helmet and Sena communication device has its price.
