Picked up the Neotec 3 and love it. Replaced my old Neotec 1, which other than being old was very comparable imo, not a massive upgrade. The one thing i dislike the most is the visor opens from the middle of the face, i prefered on the side.

Great review and I’ve just purchased the Neotec 3 from you to replace the Neotec 2 that I also purchased from you 2.5yrs ago that’s been perfect for me. Upgraded as I value the higher safety certification, bug filter and the much easier to use centred visor locking mechanism.

Very good and useful comparison. There is a small mistake in the presentation, at minute 0:57 it should be Neotec 2 on the left and Neotec 3 on the right.

Not worth the upgrade imo. More like a $ grab for Shoei and Sena.

Interesting video that I was waiting for. I'm going for the Neotec 3 with your bundle discount with the SRL-3 system!

[volvogt]

Dont presume the 3 will fit exactly like the 2. The 2 was perfect out of the box for me. The 3 in the same size has caused pressure point issues sadly where i can only wear it for 30 minutes at a time. Hopefully this will eventually pass as the helmet wears but I'm not confident. Allegedly shoei put out a press release staing that were developing an adatper kit for the SRL 2 to fit the neotec 3. I don't see how as I have both and couldnt wait for the kit

[alfredoesparza]

Is that the metallic anthracite color ?

[GhettoSuguru]

Neotec 2 seems better since it has that wine red colour

[Kornholeeoo]

Forget the 3. Can’t find one in a store I can try on. Just bought another 2. Plus you gotta spend another 350 for a new Sena. Sorry Japan.

[robertjbender]

It seems entirely possible that the safety of these helmets are identical and the only difference is the certification sticker.

[MiniKubik]

What color is that?
I can't seem to find it

Hi, Why doesn't Shoei, in addition to their comfort and natural balance on the head, try to reduce the weight of its Neotecs a little? I would say that a 1500grs, to 1600grs with the Bluetooth kit installed will be very appreciable !

The voice reminds me of the man from the high castle 😂😂😂

Narp! I have a RF1200, but it gets way too hot as airflow sucks, and looking at a modular helmet, and looks like Shoei is off the table now; the HJC RPHA 91 Carbon is looking like the better option and way cheaper than a Shoei Neotec.

Nice video! I´d appreciate if somebody that already had the Neotec 2 can comment about the noise level and water ingress while raining. I have been using Neotec 1, then Neotec 2, but both are quite noisy and in both I had water getting inside the helmet even when closed. Thanks!

I have upgraded from n1 to n3. The front vent on n3 is almost non existent - no air inside the helmet in comparison to n1 . Big disappointment… another disappointment is closing mechanism which allows to block visor in the first patio. much higher than in n1 - the edge of visor is on my vision line. I will be selling n3 and buying n2 - at least n2 has a proper chin vent

I wish they used double D rings instead of the ratchet closure.
