Why I Bought A MODULAR Helmet

[@marcos.1771]

I’m going to get the identical helmet, but in blue, as soon as my favorite store receives the helmets they ordered. Apparently there is a supply problem caused by Shoei in Japan due to COVID-19. That was my store’s excuse for not having an adequate stock of Shoei helmets.

I love my modular helmet. That's all I bought ever since I started riding. Of course, it's nice with a Bluetooth also

[@davidm4566]

Blue tooth is hard. I looked for one on Amazon Prime Day but some reviews said that they didn't work that well. If I'm going to pay that much I want to know it will work. And I probably can't afford it right now anyway.

I have had my Neotec 2 for almost 3 years now and very happy. Quieter than most at highway speeds. I added the Sena Bluetooth for it about a year ago and it works well, too. I know it is a heavier than average helmet, but I have had no weight issues even after 5-7 hours of riding. Excellent review, Greg!

[@BadDriverrr]

First bro let me say that I can tell the effect that your time off has had, absolutely great to see how happy you seem to be through the screen lately. Second I can’t agree more with the different helmets for different purposes argument, yes the full face is for track but cruising and teaching, modular cannot be beat. FortNine did a great video of best modular helmets in 2018, may have updated it by now but the principle remains the same. Utility, safety, comfort, and like you I can tell the different between 3 lbs 5 ounces and 3 lbs 15 but I don’t notice the difference once it’s on my melon. Cheers

I’ve just bought a HJC RPHA 90 for all the reasons you mentioned and it’s easy to add a communication device as I’m doing my IAM (institute of advanced motorcyclists) here in the U.K. You where the major influence for me to take advanced training and F me. I’ve learnt so much from you and taking these advanced lessons. my riding had improved so much because of you both. My instructor or observer as they are called here in the U.K. said my slow speed stuff is the best he has ever seen, even better than his. I showed him your app today and he was like. That shit looks cool, I will get this and use it for my other students. PS. I still have to convince him about trail braking though.

Easy to snack and drink water while fueling up, blow your nose, etc. It is comfortable and quiet (when my comm is off). Best part is the quick release! Thanks for the video! Keep on keeping safe!

[@rlward55]

Greg our SSNB courses are comprised of a Thursday night classroom with old videos from MSF. Friday night on the pavement, get the students into first gear. Saturday all day and Sunday morning are lessons. Sunday afternoon is practice then we do the riding tests. Once a student passes the tests, he or she goes and does the written and eye tests for a Graduated license with four restrictions. A year later they can do a road test for a full license. Courses every weekend from end of April to early October. I teach about five courses a season.

[@MotoJitsu]

Gotcha :)

[@crupert23225]

Just bought one myself (Neotec 2). It fits me very well and I love the quality and the relative quiet to my old one (a 10 year old Shark Evoline). I got a superb deal on it and I am very happy. Ready to test it out thoroughly. My old hlemet was a size too small and really hurt my head after even a short ride. This will improve my comfort as well as extreme road noise. I have struggled with wind noise when I do videos on my bike and I'm hoping this will vastly reduce that aspect.

Welcome to the world of modular helmets! I understand for some people having 3 different types, plus 3 different types of gear can be expensive. I’ve also got and had the 3 different types for nearly 30 years and they are all great and “fit for purpose”. However, if you’re not planning on dirt bikes or track days then the convenience of a modular is great. Is it as safe as a complete full face? No. They never will be. However, if you are just casually riding on the street and getting on and off your bike then they are great. I also don’t use the transition drop down sunglass replacement for the same reasons as mentioned in this. Great work. 👍😎🇦🇺

very practical for me for sure MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, merch, affiliate links, discounts, etc.

[@eyesonly4451]

I wear a Neotec II when driving the Wing. I much prefer it over my original HJC full face. It's a bit heavier, but the fact that I can (legally) ride open face in slow traffic, or with the shield up and sun visor down, etc. gives me lots of options on a any combination of a hot/cold, wet/dry, bright/overcast day. Initially, I installed the integrated Sena SRL2, with less than happy results. Wind noise seemed too high and I had to be pretty aggressive on volume to hear anything. A CarPlay phone call at 60 MPH was not happening. When Sena came out with the newer SRL-MESH, I immediately swapped it and wow! What a difference. The SRL-MESH has Harman Kardon speakers and better active noise control. Also, the HK speakers are 3mm thicker than the originals. So they sit a bit closer to the ears, filling that swirling air cavity just outside my ears. This also contributes to better overall wind noise reduction.

[@DavidSmith-wy5rb]

Glad to see you get a Modular helmet, I think they are the most practical while offering about the same protection as full faced helmets !

[@MotoJitsu]

I only wear in town or during low speed practice. Not out in the twisties anymore

[@lylemacdonald6672]

I have used modular helmets since the late 1980's when I saw European Olympic luge, 2 & 4 man bobsled racers used them. I figured if they were good enough for them they were good enough for me. First a BMW System 1, then Nolan N100 then Schuberth C-3 Pro and E1. I still wear sunglasses and additionaly use the internal sun visor when riding into the sun. Works quite well.

[@brandoncomer6492]

I'm a huge fan of modulars. Being able to flip your face up at a stoplight or while your getting gas and get some fresh air is great. It's also fantastic if you ever go through a drive-through.

[@MrSkeptical]

I have been rockin' this helmet for about a year now and it is just fantastic! Not quite the chin protection of a non-modular but unparalleled comfort, quality, utility and looks... price of entry is steep though but worth it!

[@rbnplgrm]

I've bought the Neotech 2 as well, in white too! Got this for about 4 months. Comfortable AF, very useful. It feels quite heavier than a full face one, but Shoei has a good weight 'repartition' if I can tell. Got da smoked screen as well to give some extra power when riding. Cheers

[@gwynnromano5881]

I had the Neotec 1 for years and I replaced it with the Neotec 2. They fit me perfectly, they’re high quality and comfortable for hours. I too like all of the conveniences you stated. I can have a drink, a conversation or just raise it for more air here in the southeast where it gets a little too warm and humid at times.

Another nice thing about shoei is you can get thicker liners for about $100. I too have the medium neotec2 and after a year or so padding compressed a bit. I ordered thicker new liner and it made a difference. I too have a full face for the track but it is a size smaller. I find helmet needs to be extra snug on the track. Thanks for video Greg.

[@MotoJitsu]

Yes about every year, when I had previous Shoeis, I would get all new insides :)

[@jmarine1933]

There’s a good reason why modular helmets aren’t allowed on racetracks. Safety! They are comfortable and convenient but may fail during a hard impact. Just ask my cousin. He hit the pavement so hard that it popped open during the crash. His face and bank account will never be the same. And yes, he was wearing one of the “high end” Shoei modular helmets last year when he almost lost his life. Let’s not forget the MAIN REASON why we wear a helmet. Comfort and convenience will always be important, but living to ride another day should always be at the top of everyone’s list. Take care and be safe.

[@MotoJitsu]

Do you wear full gear? Jacket & pants with armor and abrasion resistant material like Kevlar with good boots and gloves each time you ride? Point is, we all have our own choices to make and risks we’re willing to take. If you don’t want to wear one of these, don’t. It’s your life.

[@jmarine1933]

@@MotoJitsu Yes, we wear full “high end” gear 100% of the time. My wife and I also wear Helite Airbag vests 100% of the time. We’re each wearing close to $3,000 worth of gear every time we get on our motorcycles and it’s still dangerous. What’s also dangerous is a person thinking they know everything to the point of not listening and possibly learning something.

[@MotoJitsu]

of course, riding is 28 times more dangerous than driving a car. Oh yeah? That why I continue to take more training to continue to learn every month and get mentored by top level, current professional racers? Maybe you should take more courses and catch up.

got a Shoei Neotech 2 as well, glossy black... perfect for road trips, when i have to stop and ask locals for directions... great ventilation too on sunny days, by lifting up the clear visor and having the sunvisor down... and no need to take off the helmet for making a phone call, just lift up the front to insert the mobile phone between the padding and your ear

[@ronfriedman8740]

I bought a HJC RPHA 90s Carbon for winter and touring riding, but began riding with all the time now. I did so because of its light weight and price point when compared to the Shoei Neotec, the Schuberth C4 and the AGV Sportmodular. Even with the HJC Sena 10b communication, it was still less than the aforementioned helmets without communication and certainly much lighter than the Neotec. Many riding buddies that own the Shoei complain about neck pain after riding all day from the 1780 gram weight compared to the 1305 grams of the RPHA. After a 3,000 mile tour, my only complaint was it's a bit noisy with the vents open and the face shield down, but the ventilation was quite good. If you're in the market for a modular helmet, you'd be remiss not to check out the HJC.

[@MotoJitsu]

I checked out almost every one...this was my fav.

[@Ramon51650]

What a coincidence; I took a break from prepping for an inaugural ride on my new bike, and I decided to check for your latest video. As it so happens, I'll be wearing my first modular helmet today. I bought an AGV and the features are similar to your, except that it's black but with reflective material designed into the back. I got it for all the pluses that you mention.

Can't agree more with you. I have this helmet for years (not sure if version 1 or 2), but yellow and black, and I can't imagine having anything else on my head. It's so great while waiting on the traffic lights to lift it up, on the petrol station, while drinking, talking etc. I had few helmets on my head, and I don't see that weight make any difference to me.

Enjoyed the vid... Just wanted to share a tip. If the two metal lock pins use a nut to secure it to the helmet under the liner do this. Remove liner, unscrew pin, put blue thread lock on pin and reinstall. I lost one pin that became loose over time. Almost impossible to find a replacement....

Tape off first and scuff up inch to be painted use plastic spray paint! Use tinted inside shield for sunglasses and ride into sun without discomfort, love it!

Hi Annielfc, I also bought the exact helmet for the purpose of the integrated Sena but read multiple reviews that it was no good (after I purchased it 🙄) so I went with a side mounted Bluetooth unit. Is the integrated Sena unit any good in your opinion?

[@annielfc]

@@garryrooney9636 I think it's great overall though I only use it for listening to music on my phone and answering the occasional phone call. Sounds great for both, in my opinion. My side mounted Bluetooth unit wouldn't stay attached because of the shape of the helmet. I miss being able to charge my Bluetooth unit in the glovebox in the middle of a ride when it goes dead and the voice assistant interruption is annoying when I'm singing along, but other than that, I'd definitely recommend.

[@tnetroP]

I've had this exact helmet for six months and love it. It's even in white too. Like you I tried the Schuberth C3 and C4 but this felt the best to me. It's worth noting that the Schuberth is designed for a more round head shape and the Shoei is designed for a more oval head. So which one is most comfortable will depend on head shape. It's very quiet (note: it whistles if you don't fully close the visory, which you have to close and then just snap it down fully - no whistle then). I love the easy release ratchet on the strap, the pinlock is fantastic even in cold and wet British weather, and the sun visor is great. I've used the visor a lot and on hot days I leave the clear visor up and the sun visor down to get more airflow. But the airflow is also very string on this helmet. I really can't fault it. I don't tend to ride with the face up but I believe it has actually been certified for use this way too. at least here in Europe. At the shop I bought mine from they changed the headlining and cheek pads for thicker ones, for free, to get an absolutely perfect fit. It felt too tight to start with. But after a few days it became superbly comfortable. There is also an optional Sena SRL bluetooth comms system which fits into the helmet. As a final bonus it means putting glasses on and off is much easier.

I have the NEOTEC II in use for 2 years now - simply the best helmet I ever had. Two disadvantages for me: the weight, it's quite a heavy bowl, and the price >600,-€). In every other aspects it is stunning: comfortable wear, silent (compared to other modulars), very good use, all buttons at the right places and it is certified for open and closed wear while driving. And the greatest advantage is that you don't have to take of your helmet at the gas station (at least in times when you don't have to wear a mask...).

Nice lid ! Looks just like. my Schuberth, which I’ve had for about 3 years now, it has similar features, flip down sun shade, ratchet chin strap etc. I like white too, apart from the hi-vis aspect, they are much cooler in the sunshine, especially if you are forced to be stationary for long, and in that case, you can also flip the chin up. Modular helmets are usually quieter too, as they fit more snugly around the neck when closed.

[@tahirsharif9461]

I initially purchased a Schuberth C4 modular helmet - it’s been fantastic, however after some hot Summer days the liners needed a good wash, so also purchased the Shoei Neotec 2. The linings are easier to remove and fit than the C4, however the sun visor is disappointing as it’s doesn’t filter the sun enough and it’s also much noisier, even with earplugs in. Shoei definitely much better padding/fitting. Weight is pretty similar for both helmets.

[@jessrumblin]

Another thing with modulars is the ability to remove and put on the helmet while still wearing your eyeglasses. Downside is the shape of the shield/helmet is more round and in the rain, water tends to pool in the middle of your vision plane unlike fully face adv helmets that are sharper shape and flows water off to the side

To be able to lift the bottom up at times is so convenient and is also cool in both senses. Arai make a great thing about how well their helmets are made but Shoei is comparable but also make a Modular helmet. Come Arai its not only racers that need helmets. Great short video thanks.

Instead of using the side slide to raise the visor it is so easy to use your finger to push it up and out of the way...I'll bet it was designed to do that...so much easier than fumbling around for the slide just to hide the visor...use your finger.

I have two modular helmets, and despite the noise levels, which you can fix with earplugs, I love them. I like being able to take a drink of water at the lights, or not having to remove my helmet when I going to pay, after putting fuel in the bike. One one has an inbuilt sun visor, but I still like my other one.

I have the older version, best money I ever spent. Easier to take on and off, the shell gives a little then tightens when closed. I wear headphones and its much easier than full face to keep the ear buds in. I do ride with it up and its cooler with better vision closer to my old half helmet. 0 chance I will look at anything else when I need a new one.

You may also try Nolan N100-5 modular helmet. It has exactly the same features (vents both front and back), embeded sunglasses (that are adjustable - Shoei does not have this feature by the way), space for eye glasses (because some of us can’t see properly without them), microlock (just like Shoei) and a release mechanism that prevents accidental opening in case of an event (you need to pull 2 buttons in the same time). Please give it a try if you have the chance because i think that you would be surprised. Ah, i almoust forgot: Nolan N100-5 it’s cheaper than Shoei Neotec 2 :-)

[@ronoldcross8189]

Quality helmets are all good. Just make sure your helmet fits you. My first helmet was modular but the wrong head shape (I had to add a head pad to make it areas dy) and it allowed too much wind. As it was just as a starter, I put up with it. Next helmet fit. It happened to be full face and highly visible. Down side - no drop down sun shield.

I have been wearing modular helmets since BMW first sold the Schuberth helmets in the early 80's. I wear galsses,and the ease of use makes modulars worth it, pls wearing any helmet is better than no helmet. It is funny that Snell will certify a 3/4 helmet and not a modular.

Have been wearing a neotec 2 for the past 3 years. Will get another when the neotec 3 is available.

[@ImmortalShiro]

I was planning to buy two helmets, one for long rides and one for city riding. That being said i first thought of 1 modular and one half face. But since the biggest concern with modulars is their very own moving chin/jaw protection, I might instead buy a full face and a modular.

[@Laurynas_LTU]

Great video, Greg. I was just expecting you to tell about the safety of this modular helmet compared to full helmets. For me, safety is the number one reason why I wear a helmet, not that it's compulsory to wear it and you can get fined without one, in EU. Is your modular helmet certified by ECE, SHARP or FIM?

[@MotoJitsu]

We all have our own choices to make and risks we're willing to take. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIC8la2ObrOseas

[@cycleholicsanonymous]

No, it's the "Gold Standard", DOT only lol. Plus it's only $699. That's coming from someone who owns 2 X-14's, and a RF-1400. So, not a Shoei hater by any stretch. From a safety stand point a Neotec is heavily overweight and lacks any decent safety cert. Might as well have gone with an AGV sport modular. Considerably lighter too. If someone tells you they can't feel a pound difference on their head, they're full of it. A helmet has one job, to protect by providing passive and active safety. It's not to drink water, or have a gimmicky chin strap system, etc. A ratchet chin strap is a solution to a problem that never existed with a double d-ring. An internal visor only creates a void in the EPS. A Neotec or any modular for that matter, is the epitome of perceived convenience over safety.

[@cjoor]

@@cycleholicsanonymous 'DOT only lol'? Now who's full of it. It has proper ECE certification.

[@cycleholicsanonymous]

@@cjoor Sorry, I forgot a twenty year old standard that was outdated and in need of an overhaul was a proper certification. Probably the reason it's being replaced by 22.06. Let's see if it passes that.The Shoei X-14/X-Spirit III passes the gold standard FIM, along with any other you can throw at it SNELL, DOT and ECE right out of the box. So no, still not a fan of the Neotec 2 that gets mediocre side impact rating scores, and where the face guard only remained fully locked 70% of the time in which it was tested by SHARP... By comparison the AGV sportmodular was at 97%, and had better side impact ratings, all the while being a pound less. Look up the high speed impact ratings of an RPHA 11, it got the lowest possible side impact score and still boasts an ECE cert. Rock what you want on your head, but be realistic about what you're giving up in the way of safety for added convenience.

[@cjoor]

@@cycleholicsanonymous Yeah, you forgot. No problem mate, glad to have been of assistance.

Nice to see Shoie got on board. I really think modular helmets are great. Although I'm guessing they're still banned at the track. Maybe that'll change. You look like you're Air force more than Marine now 😉👍

[@alanhassall]

I believe this is Shoei’s fourth modular helmet. There has been the Duotec, Multitec, Neotec 1 and Neotec 2. I’ve had the Multitec and Neotec 1. My head was a bit too long oval for them so I got an Arai Signet-X last year. I really miss the convenience of the modular helmets. The Neotec 2 might fit better than I thought, but it is an expensive gamble to hope that it is comfortable at the end of the day. The Signet is comfortable, if quite noisy, after 800 miles.

[@davidm4566]

I just got a new helmet. The old one was open face. I like the modular. Plus I got white one because it's July in FL so it looks a little like a Stormtrooper. Also it's easier to be seen, especially at night, and everyone has black helmets so it's unique.

[@MotoJitsu]

:) instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

[@aumkar2]

Need to order it. After an almost near death crash while wearing my Arai Quantic, I want another Japanese helmet and I think this fits the bill perfectly. Usability of an open-face and protection of full-face and with the Shoei brand trust.

[@olgierdbogusz9698]

I got a modular Nolan n100-5 as my first helmet and after less than a year, I found that I really dislike the extendable sun visor and prefer to use a smoked outer visor, unless it's getting dark. Also, I almost never even open the face up without taking the entire thing off a few seconds later and I'm already looking to switch to an integral one that would be lighter and less bulky.

[@knightsljx]

All the reasons I got my Caberg Duke 2 white. Why let manufacturers charge me more for graphics that are less visible. I even added some 3M reflectives for better night time visibility

holding up? as in you think it'll just fall apart?

[@lau5067]

I can't imagine having any other type of helmet than a modular one for every day riding. The comfort und practicability cannot be beaten. But for the track it does make sense to have a full face helmet; I assume they are a little safer than modular ones. Question mark. Also, funny thing, somewhere in the middle of the video I thought "does he wear earplugs?" and at the end you already answered it. :D
