When installing the pin lock, you should test the seal by taking a piece of paper and trying to push it into the seal with the shield. Sometimes you have to adjust the pin lock plate.
Nice job Bob. Too bad you don't get a commission on sales, because you sold me on the Shoei Neotec II over the Shoei GT Air 2. Well done in explaining everything too! Thank you!!
Literally in the exact same situation. I have a shoei gt air, I would like the noetec and I love my cardo. I thought I was going to need to watch 10 videos to figure this all out but man you handled it all here. Shoei should pay this man!
I agree..Shoei should.. but, daggum it they don't 😂 😂 😂 😂
I also have a long term review on the Neotec..Spoiler alert...I love it!!! Here is the link!!
czcams.com/video/gzOHNhxxbHU/video.html
Thanks for the comment and watching. I appreciate it.
The neotec 2 is the best helmet i have ever owned fit like a glove right out of the box i have had it on for 10 hours straight
We just purchased our Neotec 2's. We love them. You are correct. It is not a bargain as far as price but it is a very good quality. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate WoW, so I’m glad you are continuing that. You are encouraging
Ive got about 11,000 miles now on the exact same helmet (in burgundy). I installed the Sena integral comms unit designed for the compartments in the hemet. I love it! never had a moments problem crystal clear audio. I installed the Sena Prism Tube Wifi camera on the other side with the mic following the boom of the comms unit. I bought some cheap mic windsocks and cut one up to go over both mics. The Prism speaker fits easily into the right side next to the comms speaker with zero discomfort. It really is a sweet set up. Shrinkage in fit was minimal and I've removed the complete liner 3 times now and washed them out. Not the easiest to reassemble but a lot of that is self induced. The integral sun visor is trick to keep completely clean so welcome ant tips on that
Thank you for the very honest review. Safe travels on your up coming trip
I (very) recently bought a LS2 Valiant II helmet, and a Cardo Pack Bold for it. Just used them on a nine day 3097 mile five state trip. Great products.
I bought a shoei RF 1400 I hope the cardo bold packtalk clip will fit on my helmet KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMMING thanks coach Bob and Vic
I can’t decide on the RF1400 and the Neo 2! Doing a lot of longer rides but on a ‘21 H2SXSE+ with a full system and flash…230hp at the wheel pulls hard which makes me lean towards the full face BUT it’s not like I’m doing that all the time….usually crusing with the wife on her new Z900. I need a helmet that doesn’t lift as much at 150+ 😂
Bob, you forgot to mention that the cable between the speakers also doubles as an FM antenna. I say that because the actual Cardo installation video over emphasizes it. 😁😁😁
Another thumbs up and be safe.
I have a Neotec first version . Love it
Congrats on the new helmet CB, it’s beautiful! Now ya got me wanting one!
Agree on Shoei’s fit and finish the whole product chain. Their graphics paint-work is also top shelf. I’ve been wearing the Shoei RF1400 and really like it alot. But boy would I appreciate the options afforded by a modular. I think I’m jumping in the game Coach. I’ll too will be installing a comm unit, the new Cardo Edge. What a relief to see the Neotec 2 allows a clean fitment of a non-proprietary comm unit. I like choices in components. I ride an 22 ultra blue Gold Wing DCT Tour Airbag with an electronically adjustable windscreen. GTG! Thanks for your perusal high quality production and content.
Glad you got your helmet. I'm spoiled by modular helmets.
As someone who makes motorcycle videos myself, I have struggled mightily with wind noise in my videos, I believe mostly due to wind inside my helmet. I have been wearing a Shark Evoline that is about 10 years old, and it is a size too small and hurts my forehead after a while. I started looking at the Neotec a few weeks ago for my upgrade, and the relative quiet aspect sold me on it. At a retail price of $799, however, I decided to wait for a good deal on a new or slightly used one. I found one in an open box deal online priced at $629, and the retailer even had a 10% off coupon which I applied. There was no sales tax and no shipping, so I got it for $566!! I don't believe there could be a better deal anytime soon, if ever, so I snapped it up. It came with everything it was supposed to in its original box. Unbelievable. I am looking forward to observing a dramatic difference in road and wind noise with this helmet, significantly more comfort, and much better ergonomics. My Evo has always been hard to re-open once the chin bar was flipped back, but this one will be much easier. I can't say I'm crazy about the ratchet chin strap. It's a little snug for my taste. I've installed the Pinlock insert and my BrakeFree brake light, and now just have to put my GoPro mount on the chin bar. Anxious to try it out if we get a nice warm day!
I note your video quality is very good, and you have almost no noise. I'd love to know how you achieved that. I installed the Pinlock, but I noticed it says not to use it at night due to only an 80% light transmission, which means I may have to flip the visor up if I happen to be riding at night, which is disappointing. I'm certinly not going to mess with uninstalling and reinstalling that, because it was kind of a pain and took me quite a while. On the Sena system, I refuse to pay $300 for a custom fit, and instead will use my $150 (which to me was still a lot of money) Cardo. It's only good for one rider, but I usually only ride with one rider. I got that installed at the dealer that sold it to me today. Looks great.
Now that I have purchased my dream helmet, it is probably time for them to introduce the Neotec III, since it is now 5 years old in this model. But that's OK. I'm incredibly happy.
Loved the review and you now have a new subscriber to your channel. You'll likely remember me because I tend to post lengthy comments on the videos I watch. 👍🏍🏍🏍🕶👌😎🍺👉
Cool Beans on the Shoei.
I’d looked at the Shoei Neotech II, and wondered whether one could, in fact, attach a Cardo as you did. I wasn’t interested so much in the Neotech, but Shoei’s J-Cruise II, the three-quarter helmet.
However I couldn’t find one around to try on (I wear an XXL) during COVID, and I didn’t want to take a chance that the helmet wouldn’t fit, so I went with an Arai Ram-X, which I was pretty sure would fit. I like being able to drink water, lift it up easily in front, more airflow, etc., and on my RT Ltd, it’s more pleasant than my full face helmet. Now you’ve got me thinking of putting a boom Mount on the Ram-X, and perhaps buying a second Cardo mount and wiring harness so that I can pop the communicator off my full face, and pop it in my open face.
BTW, I took the helmet for a test ride from LA, thru Death Valley, to Las Vegas a few weeks back. It hit 110 in the middle of DV, but the open face kept me cool. I’ll save the full face for winter riding.
Thanks fir the good info. Enjoy your road trip! Love the look of your helmet. It be BAAD!
I own the Shoei RF-1400 but just bought the Neotec II Winsome TC-1. I am three days into ownership. I love both these lids. The RF-1400 seems to offer a bit more over the head ventilation than the Neotec though. Maybe because the Neotec is a modular and Shoei thought that should be suitable. Dunno really!
Smart alec comment proceeding in 3..2..1../Isn't that functionality @5:00 just from a '73 Country Squire wagon tailgate?
Really, do love you and Coach Vic...
Thank you for this informative video. It came at the right time since I’m considering the Neotec or the Schubert 4 as the next modular heimet.
Great review and much appreciated. Will note that no retailer, regardless of their claims, loses money, or sells merchandise at break even. Their margins are healthy regardless of their semantics. Keep up the great work.
Great video Bob Be safe love the helmet!
Well nice helmet I'm glad you're happy with it. is it heavy on your neck. And are you going to do install video on coach fix helmet. It did not sound too bad very little when looks good on you.👍🏍🏍🏍
Good looking helmet with quality to boot. My worry would be holding almost 4lbs on your head with wind buffering for hours the following morning you will feel it in the neck area.
Just rode 3000 miles cross country . No problem with mine
Final mileage 6810 miles coast to coast to coast with Neotec modular
25:22 you must be really liking your GT Air lol , any way great video as I’m looking into getting the neotec2 thanks for the review
I love my GT air for sure... Thanks so much for watching.
That is one sweet looking helmet.
Good video, but I recently bought a Neo tec 2. Going by reviews is why I purchased it. The main problem is the chin bar comes up to high partially blocking my view. When riding my Royal Enfield interceptor I have to tip my head down to see the gauges. A lot better vision from my old Nolan N104. I've had it several years before the chin bar release broke.
Both helmets fit very good. And I still wear it even with the release broke.
The Shoei is maybe a little quieter but for costing 3 times more it's way overpriced.
Being retired I ride over 15k mile a year.
So I ride a lot. The dealer I bought it does not take helmets back otherwise it would be returned.
Hi Coach Bob.
Hey there!!!
I use a Shark Evo One 2. I like that chin bar goes all the way to the back. Except when it's cold I never ride with the chin bar locked to the front. So I don't know how quiet it is.
Thanks for the video I like that you put the Cardo on the helmet where it should go. I have been dragging my feet on buying a new helmet because of the problem of the built in system
I noticed that the top vent is blocked when you have your face sheild up
Hey Coach, I have an SLR2 that I currently don't use. If you would like to try it out, let me know. Great video on the neotech!
Thanks for this…the cardo and Neo 2 are exactly what I’m looking for! Hope it can keep up with my new ‘21 H2SXSE+ ! My only concern is lift at high (150mph+) speeds.
Enjoy that rocket ship. I love that motorcycle. Be safe my friend. 🏍🏍🏍
Claiming the Schubert helmet is the quietest helmet due to it's design is really not correct. A quality helmet with a reputation for being one of the quieter ones yes is important but more importantly is choosing a helmet that suits your head shape and is the right fit. Schubert's are a more intermediate round shape and if you are a more typical intermediate oval you may experience a lot of wind noise coming up to your ears from the side especially if you have a windshield that directs air to your helmet.
Can you confirm, that there was no modification to cardo or to Shoei before you managed install Cardo-unit to that position? You made unpossible possible!👍🏻
Absolutely… confirmed. The clip was tight, but no modifications necessary. 👍👍👍👍
That helmet is too big for you. subbed, I like your relaxed style buddy, ride safe.
Thank you for this video!
I was trying to decide between shoei neotech 2 and Schuberth c5 or c3 pro.
My hubby and I ride and and have Cardo pack talk bold set up. It makes me so happy that Cardo fits and works with this helmet . I’m getting it for my BD. Haha ! Thank you. Made my decision easy.
WELLL>>>HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I watched your video and now I'm asking the question on my channel, should we spend so much on a helmet that we have to replace in 5 years.
We just finished 5000 miles with then. No buyers remorse yet. But it is expensive.
Currently have an HJC RPHA 90 and looking at the Neotech II. Want to find someone who’s had both. I like my HJC but looking for more airflow in helmet.
if you want more airflow don't buy a neotec
Hello coach. I wonder how your comm system compares to the comm system that’s made to go into the shoie. If it’s below par that is a shame because some of the cost of the shoie is due to the use of a proprietary comm system. Makes no sense at all.
I have a Shoei GT Air II with the Sena SRL2 and I prefer my PackTalk on my Arai Corsair X for sound quality and ease of use with the Spyder. I prefer the Arai over the Shoei for overall comfort.
Did you get the Shoei Neotec II online from Shoei? I ordered from Amazon a HJC 70, in my size witch measured XL. I have never had a full face Helmet and I could pull it on, it was so damn tight! I am thinking if I got a modular like this in XL it should fit. Just wondering you head size in mm? So give me an idea, and that have a Wine Red that match my Marsala Red
21 RTL. Thank you for any help, and hope to maybe me up for just a bit on your Northward trip into NY. You and coach Vic please be safe on your trip.
I ordered through RevZilla. I’m pretty much a 60. The Shoei large in all models I’ve fitted. We’re perfect for me. I can’t remember coach Vic’s measurements. But she’s in a medium.
That brick you stuck to the side of your helmet is causing all the noise.
Hahaha... Great comment!!!
A question : Any wind noise with the Cardo system on the outside of your helmet?
Thank you kindly.
Aga.
No noise problems at all. I've ridden thousands of miles with this set up and it has worked perfectly. Thanks for watching. CB3
My Neotec 2 lets in a lot of wind. The flap that the chin cushion thing goes in has a very small gap between the flap and the helmet. I don't know if that's the issue or if that's normal. I have a microphone for my GoPro mounted inside the helmet and there is so much wind noise on my videos. Disappointed. My other Shoei helmet (not modular) does not have that wind noise on my videos.
Great Video. Thanks for all interesting things. I buy a Shoei neotec 2. which modell is your Alpinstars Jacket? Greets from Germany
It is the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R v2 Air Jacket... here is my review on it...

👍🏻
Nice video thanks for sharing. I just switched over from a Shoei J Cruise II to the Neotec II, so far loving it. Question what are you using for audio recording? Are you running a mic directly into your GoPro? Looks like you have the media mod. Also what mount did you use for the GoPro and are you liking it? In advance, thanks for your insights.
I am running a GoPro Hero 10 with the media mod case and plugging a purple panda mic directly into it. I have been using this set up for about two years. As for my mount.. I am using a billet aluminum swivel mount, here's the link...

thanks for watching the channel.
How is the mic? They re too low !
If you are referring to the volume of the PackTalk mic... Jus make sure the yellow arrow on the boom mic is pointing at your mouth and that should resolve that. Thanks for watching.
It’s obviously disingenuous to assess quietness when you have external comms and the video blogging kit stuck to it
Here’s an update for ya..I have ridden with and without the camera for thousands of miles. It is quiet. But not GT-Air quiet. Basically, my original findings.
The Neotec is, without question, my go to touring helmet.
Have to as I have to wear glasses to drive will the inner visor impead the use of glasses?
Yes.. there is plenty of room for glasses behind the drop down sun visor. I often wear sunglasses under the sun visor. Double sun protection...
Hey CoachBob, Great video thank you for that. A few questions for you.
Does the chin curtain cover your chin (like go past the chin) or is it just barely reaching your chin?
When I tried one on, the chin curtain barely touched my chin and was not even under it, it was like the bottom of my chin was level with the chin curtain.
I tried the Large on at a shop today, it was kind of snug (but not overly) to get on, the cheeks felt good for not giving too much pressure, but I found on the right side at the back of my head I notice a bit of a hot spot just where it starts to curve towards the neck. Do you think that would go away after break-in, Does MRS Coach get the hotspot back there?
Also, could you do a video of how you set up your helmet for VLogging and what mic you use, and how you run/cable manage the mic wire? Also, how do you mount your GoPro and so on?
Thank you
I will make a short video response in the next week answering all of your questions. 👍👍👍
@@CoachBob3 You rock. Thank you so much. If I know about the VLog setup and about the hotspot/chin screen that would help me make my decision.
Question. Just got a Neotec 2 and find I get a red forehead while breaking in. Have you experienced that with your helmet?
Coach Vic develops a small hot spot on her head. I have not had any hot spots.
I have had other helmets that have had weird little spots like that. Normally after a bit of a break in. Those issues went away. Thanks for watching the channel.
Does the neck strap cut into your neck/throat like the original neotec?
No sir.. I have around 20k miles in my NeoTec and it has been a pure joy to own.
Is that your proper size? looks like you slipped it on to easy.
Yup...any tighter and it'd pop my noggin.
My fiance would like to know the type of jacket that is. She needs a summer jacket.
Here is a link to my review and in-depth look at the jacket.
czcams.com/video/TS-Kte0_k2w/video.html
Awesome thank you
Hey mate, what mic are you using for the camera
I am using a GoPro hero 9 black with a purple panda microphone. I am filming in 1080p at 60fps.
Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍
@@CoachBob3 thanks mate
If you like bugs inside your helmet buy one. Yeah, comfortable, great features blah, blah, blah……until you have things crawling around your head. Can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve ripped off my helmet to clear out a bug, or 3!!
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
SHO AY :0)
That's basically a car you're driving. There's not even any need for a helmet.....
😂😂😂
May be you kill the dogs.
Coach I sometimes think that companies like revzilla says those things to make manufactures happy
