I come to your channel because you have good content, and also because you are a genuine guy. You don't seem to have the ego that many youtubers have. I feel like I'm sitting in your garage talking to you.
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!
Agreed 👊🏾💯
Can’t go wrong with a Shoei helmet
Umm hmmm...full face gang!
I have the neotec 2! And love it!
Yes sir! That football gave me a new life perspective!
Shoei is the only modular that I could find that fit me. Went with the neotech 2 because they were 200 bucks off. Great helmet.
The Neotec 2 are a great deal right now. They are $600. That's less than I paid for mine 5 years ago
Also....I have an enormous cranium! The Shoei helmets fit me pretty well.
same
Saw the garage, flags and the shirt, subbed! Lol
VP 19, AE2, Moffett Field, California, long ago.
Thinking of going modular, only ever owned Shoei. Reason being, I might want to drink some coffee on the road!
Thank you for taking your time to show us your thoughts, and absolutely appreciate you giving up your life for our country, for however long you did so!
I served for 6 years...mostly in California (Long Beach and San Diego). If I knew then, what I know now, I would have done what it takes to stay in longer.
I like modulars for a similar reason...I can sip on water while I'm riding. Also allows me to flip it open when it's hot.
@@RidingandWrenching Thank you for your reply! Same here, that damned hindsight.
But, we made choices that we thought was best at the time.
I'm grateful to have found you, and I'm looking forward to going through a lot of your videos!
Head on swivel my man, head on a swivel.
As usual, a very informative video. Thanks for doing it. I was actually looking at the Neotec 3.
Thanks for the video, Cue. Great information 👍🏾
Great comparison Cue!
Nice video, always know I’m gonna get good info here 👊🏾
Appreciate it!
Glad you were ok
Good stuff bro. Love my Neotec2, quietest helmet on the market.
Nice review!
Thanks for the review my friend. Will be rocking this helmet on my cross country trip 😂👍
Great info Que! I’ve been looking for the 3 at cycle gear.
I ordered mine from Amazon. Delivered in 2 days amzn.to/49P7M6N
Good video glad I found your channel! I have a Schuberth and will likely replace with shoei when it's time.
Have fun and ride safe!
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't had a chance to try a Schuberth. I'd love to know the differences.
Excellent video, going to buy a 3 this week
Thanks for watching! Please consider using my affiliate link. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
Good review. You actually addressed the real-world differences instead of going into granular detail on things that really don't matter. I see a lot of other reviewers falling into that trap. I think you convinced me to get the 2 considering it is marked down $200 now.
Oh yea. The 2 is definitely the way to go (while they are still available).
Great vid. I just got another neotec 2 recently given new bike to the garage and the 3 was not available. Love Shoe
Very through revue Q.
I plan to check this out.
Thank you!
Great info but i really like the delivery! Very consumable
Thank you!!
Hard to find a II in my part of the world. Enjoyed your video.. Thanks.
I have the original Neotec and plan to upgrade soon. I will definitely be ordering a 2x. My current is a xl per my measurements but it always felt a little too tight, even when I changed to the smaller cheek pads. Thanks for the review.
Thank you. The 2x fits me very nicely.
Great Videos
Thats a good overview. I have the Neotec2 and was wondering what the difference is.
Nice helmets!
Nice review. I also have the NEOTEC 3 and fing it to be a very nice helmet. Among all of the other changes/improvements, the NEOTEC 3 is a bit larger overall than the NEOTEC 2 and that is because the NEOTEC 3 meets the 22-06 safety standard.
I was looking at the size difference after I recorded the video. I wasn't aware of the new safety standard. The 3 is very comfortable
I love the Neotec 3, I jumped the gun and bought mine from in November before it was available in the US. It was much cheaper overseas even with paying $35 for shipping. Also the SENA SRL works great for me and it doesn't have the bulky unit hanging off of the side.
Nice! Is the Sena headset already available?
it's like they took the neotec 2 and rf1400 and had a baby. The rf1400 has the same vent styles and same visor flip. I wish my neotec 2 had a center visor tab, but I've gotten pretty efficient with reaching across with my right hand.
My wife has the rf1400.
I have a neo tech 2 and love it. you can the neo tech 2's 25 percent off. They will still make the old ones.
I just picked up a neotec 2. they are on sale since the introduction of the neotec 3. I'm frugalish.
The Neotec 2 are a steal right now. I would definitely recommend that riders jump on these prices while there is still inventory
Good choice, sadly the Neotec 3 has taken more steps backwards than forward.
@@hiddendragon415explain
Good morning from Indiana.
Good morning from Memphis!
Shoie helmets are very nice just very expensive to choose a high price helmet I like the Arai
The bump on the back of the helmet is a "spoiler" to help draw air away from the spherical shape of the helmet. It's supposed to be more aerodynamic, reduce noise & head buffeting in wind. Sportsbike helmets have even larger more aggressive spoilers than that.
it you click the switch on the inside to up it gives a small gap clearance for the sunvisor so it wont hit your nose hope this helps.
the switch is located inside the helmet on the side cheek pads there 1 on each side.
Awesome! I didn't know that
@@RidingandWrenching keep in mind it wasnt designed for that lol its just what I do on my GT-Air 2. and works perfect cause it hits my nose as well. let me know if that works on the new Neotech 3.
Great video - what do you use to clean your pin lock insert.
I use a terry cloth towel.
The Neotec is the "go-to" for a modular helmet. Great job on the review.
Thanks Eric!
I’m still rock in my Neotec 1, it hasn’t let me down yet, but I know I’ll have to get another lid soon and the Neotec2 will be at a lower price now.. Be safe out there Q
The Neotec 2 is on sale! Better get it while they still have stock
Neotec 3 improvements, safety, center visor lift, slightly quieter, vent doesn't blast air directly onto your face. Negatives, slightly heavier on a already heavy helmet, people complain about it fogging up inside easier. It's a closer fit around the jaw which I don't like. For me worst of all it's a slightly tighter fit to the Neotec 2 causing me slight pressure points. I tried the thinnest liner but it was too loose then. So be warned, try before you buy and be on the lookout for pressure points.
Mine fits quite well. I ordered the 2x (which is what the size chart recommends). I haven't experienced any pressure points. I think it's definitely worth the time to try one on if you can.
I believe the neotec 3 has bigger pads around the neck also to cut down on the road noise. also i saw your Navy Flag on the wall behind you , when and where please we might have served together.
I was on FFG19 USS John A Moore in Long Beach, CA in the mid 90's
Currently, using a neotec 2 and RF 1400. May opt for another Neotec 2 since there are no big improvements on the 3.
The Neotec 2 on sale for $599 on Amazon. It's a great price. amzn.to/3wah5jN
RevZilla has a video during which they talk about helmets that are made for oval and round heads. Shoei is known for fitting oval heads better, according to the video. I too have more of an oval head and the Neotec II is about the most comfortable helmet I've owned.
(The Shark was about the worst!)
The Neotec (and all Shoei’s in the USA) are designed with an intermediate oval head shape. Shoei uses pretty extensive engineering in their inner padding design to be able to fit a wider range of heads however 😊
Nice job as always...but I'm confused. That is a modular helmet, right? I assume so by the red button in the front. I don't think I've ever seen a modular helmet video that the "modular" part was never shown.
Technically I showed them open at the beginning of the video but you are correct! I noticed during editing that I didn't demonstrate the "modular" part. I added a clip to the beginning showing the Modular's in the open position. I contemplated scraping the whole video and reshooting it....
@@RidingandWrenching Do you use it open at all? Also, "they" say that the modular helmets are noisy as far as wind, your thoughts?
@@Kenn1969 I only open it at slow speeds or if I need a sip of water at higher speeds. At higher speeds there is too much turbulence to ride with it open. If I'm riding around town, I'll have it open. Regarding noise, I don't have a good point of reference. I can only compare it to my half helmets. It's obviously quieter than a half shell. I was listening to a podcast on my long trip and I could hear it very well. I also played music through my sound system. I could hear it well if the visor was open
@@RidingandWrenching Perfect, thanks!
Go Navy! :)
thank you!
I wear half helmets around town... whenever I travel, I wear a full face with my half helmet in the tour pack. New helmets are always fun! What do you do with the old ones??? I have a garage full and have no idea what to do with them, it seems difficult to just toss them in the bin LOL.
I've got about 10 helmets. There are 2 that I actually wear! I don't know what to do with the others!
Is the pinlock the same size between the 2 helmets?
I think so. I checked Shoei website. They seem to have the same model CNS3
What size do you wear as per the online size chart?
2x.
I am planning for Shoei Neotec 3 for my BMW C400GT whether it’s Good choice?
I love mine. It's a fantastic helmet. However the Neotec 2 is such a great deal, you might want to get that one. amzn.to/3wah5jN
Arai SZ-R Evo 2024 open face helmet is lot more ventilation than Shoei Neotec 3
I have a 2 I just feel like it’s very warm I think ventilation is poor until you open the face shield
They can be hot. That's my biggest concern for summer riding.
@@RidingandWrenching like you I go to a half helmet when it’s hot
I wear my Seer half for precision riding and my Shoei Neotec 2 with SLR any other time. Everytime i break mybrulecand wear my half helmet on the highway i get smoked by a bug and remember why i wear my modular
Is the helmet very quiet as for wind noise?
The 2 and 3 seem to be similar for noise. I can clearly hear my music/podcast when using Bluetooth. I can also hear the speakers on the bike without the wind noise. I'm pretty happy with it
Be Advised. If you run a Sena that is not Harley branded, when listening to music or your phone thru the Non-Harley branded Sena, it will be mono and not stereo.
I connect my Sena directly to my phone. The phone is connect to the bike via USB. Music plays from my phone directly to the headset. Apple Maps displays on the screen. Also my RG has a Soundstream head unit, so the silly HD mono-sound doesn't affect me
@@RidingandWrenching Good. And yes it is silly for HD to do some of the things they do like the mono issue.
@@RidingandWrenching Now that is something I can't figure out. I have the 14+, AA, and cardo. It's either or, can't get music in head set and maps on screen. Being told only the V2 coming can only do this.
@@steve-vk6np I have the Sena connect to my phone (not the bike). The phone is connected to the bike. With this setup you can get audio through the Sena and CarPlay on the bike
Is the 3 quieter than the 2?
I think it's about the same. I thought the 2 was pretty good. What makes this helmet better than the 2 is comfort. It's much more comfortable. That could be due to the fact it's new, but the padding feels really good
I can't imagine what it would be like to get my life dunked on by a football while riding my motorcycle. Glad your unscathed bro.
It was a "Final Destination" moment!
You said nothing about the noise of eather helmet
I don't have a great point of reference since these are the only brand of helmets that I use. Comparing them to one another, I would say it's about the same.....which is a good thing.
I paid 550 not 899 for mine
Wow! I've seen the Neotec 2 for that price. Not a 3.
I try to wear my full face whenever I ride the interstates, got tired of the wind beating my ears.
Same here. My goal is to wear a full face 90% of the time this summer
Hey, just discovered this channel. Thanks for this nice video. As for the Neotec 3 - Meh. I like the look of the Neotec 3, but there isn't enough upgrade over the Neotec 2 that I already own to justify the rip-off price of $900.00. Hard pass for me.
I agree! I like my Neotec 3, but the 2 is just as good
