Shoei Neotec 2 vs Shoei Neotec 1 | FortaMoto.com

[@veekatore8983]

I had the Neotec 1 but due to a hit and run which I got hurt bad I went to the Neotec II. Let me say the org Neotec did it's job! The only thing not messed up was my head and face. I had a hard time at 1st going to the II because I loved my Neotec. But now I will say with 100% certainty that the Neotec II is so much better! The wind resistance, air flow and the locking chin strap is amazing and it's quieter and well worth the money. I was also looking at the Schubreth but no matter what the Schubreth would not fit my head.

Thank you for your reviews, thanks to your videos I managed to make an informed decision, tried several helmets in the shop and left the Shoei Neotec II for last, it was the right one, fits perfectly and it's very comfortable unlike others I tried, but it's all different for everyone, this one seems to be perfect for me. Thank you!

The best review I have seen

[@transportevolved]

Just got a great deal on a neotec on closeout, so if you don't mind it being a little less cutting edge there are some great deals to be had!

[@Mr.Smith101]

Transport Evolved Revzilla? How much?

[@transportevolved]

$500 :) wel... $496

[@brianperry]

I own both types so am able to give a good comparison. The Neotec 2 is quieter. Both are very comfortable to wear for long periods. One of the great features is the fact an integral audio/intercom system can be fitted. This is not as comprehensive as some in terms of features, however because it's not stuck out into the airstream...the integrity of the streamlining is not changed at all.... wind noise is not increased. If you only want to listen to music, radio or communicate with a pillion this is the best option. Lastly the Neotec 2 is less bulky, a little narrower profile. I believe the changes have all contributed to a better helmet

I have neotec 1; why the visor so hard to open by 1 hand....

[@lennyvalentinoSchiaretti_lvs]

Thanks for this very interesting comparison!

[@FortaMoto]

you're welcome!

[@mikedignum1868]

I have the Neotec 1 and i love it..Waiting a year to by the 2 when the price comes down.

[@roadwarrior8560]

still not cheap

[@Rapheal.De.La.Ghetto]

The price keeps going up

[@mikedignum1868]

@@Rapheal.De.La.Ghetto Because of this ive now moved over to the NEXX helmets. Just as good but half the price.

[@roadwarrior8560]

if you don't know if the vent is open or not whilst riding it isn't much of a vent.

[@jeffadriatico8337]

Great review. However, I hope you were able to add in the review if a Pactalk cardo system can be installed with the neotec 2. I'm just wondering since I seem can't reconcile where to install it on the neotec 2.

[@FortaMoto]

Cheers! It should be possible, although it won't be as easy as installing the SRL system. The unit will probably have to placed more to the back of the helmet due to the large plastic panels on the side.

[@jeffadriatico8337]

I agree. This is my only issue with regards to installing my packtalk if I get the neotec 2. In this case, I'm considering getting the neotec 1. My dilemma would be now if neotec 1 is somehow outdated already. Any additional advise will be appreciated. Thanks.

Great video! Question...I bought a Shoei Neotec last Summer and it only came with the D-Rings. Both of the helmets you reviewed in this video has ratchet straps. Were those added or did they come stock?

[@FortaMoto]

Thank you :). The version of the Neotec I and II which we have in the Netherlands always comes with a ratchet, just like the GT-Air and the J-Cruise. It seems to vary per country if Shoei helmets have ratchets or D-rings. I believe Shoei can replace the retention system to your liking at a price.

[@donmontalvo1]

Thanks! I'll reach out to them to ask.

[@FortaMoto]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes :).

Great channel! Hello from Malaysia.

Thank you Leong! Greets from Amsterdam ;)

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Had a Neotec for over five years, so seriously thinking of buying new. Quite happy with the original Neotec - so this looks like a good replacement. But is that extra weight of the Neotec 2 a real problem?

[@FortaMoto]

It's a matter of tens of grams, so not really.

[@veekatore8983]

Not at all and once you use it you will be amazed especially how it cuts the wind and is quieter... Also the locking chin strap will make life so much easier..ol

[@EvilBambo0]

Is this version of neotec 1 the imminent (1.5?) version? If not, would you recommend 2 over that?

[@FortaMoto]

The Neotec Imminent colour is the same as all the other Neotec 1's. I would definitely recommend the Neotec 2 over the Neotec 1, numerous improvements have been made in the new version, and on top of that the Neotec 1 is no longer in production.

[@stevenfebvre5151]

Can I have the thinner 5mm 'centre head lining' for the Neotec 2 at no additional cost OR do I really have to pay nearly £50 more to get the helmet to fit me comfortably? Great vid. Thanks 👍🏻

[@FortaMoto]

Dear Steven, centre pads are generally quite expensive, and in Shoei's case, of very high quality. It's not possible to replace the centre pad free of charge, in every case a centre pad is a specially ordered item - and not something we have in stock. You could always make an appointment with us for the Shoei Personal Fitting System for €60,- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYWYaqyijcyjnrc&t

[@philwalker4156]

Can a Sena 20S or 30K be installed on the Neotec 2 using the clamp mount?

[@FortaMoto]

I think that will be tricky

[@philwalker4156]

Thank you. I'm very interested in making this work so that I can connect earphones, which the Sena SRL doesn't allow. I'd really hate to use the stick-on mount.

[@FreDCBelgium]

I just got the helmet and yes it can be mounted but you need to put the clamp a bit more to the back and not in the center like you normaly do.

[@FortaMoto]

Good to hear, thnx for your response :D

[@버플애기]

아..네오택 진짜 갖고 싶은 헬멧..ㅠㅠ

[@artyarson9824]

Despite N2 looks smaller, it has more space inside O_o I've got Large helmet size and tried out both helmets. N1 fitted firmly, but N2 was a bit loose in cheeks :)

[@2HELNBAK]

Arty Arson same, my RF1200 fits more snug
