Shoei Neotec Helmet Review 2019
Shell Design & Protection
Shoei Neotec Helmet comes in 3 shell sizes which are AIM Multi-Composite constructed along with Dual EPS Liner feature for maximum protection. A five-ply matrix technology which gives will reduce head injuries in an accident. And it’s thicker shell-integrated spoiler gives proper strength and weight. Means, the chances of lift and drag during high-speed riding will reduce. Shoei’s Neotec quality of the materials and the way the liner is assembled is on the next level as compared to other modular helmets.
On top of that Shoei Neotec is DOT Approved helmet. Now, you don’t need to worry about safety. Because it already went through harsh test conditions to become the toughest and lightest helmet you can ever get.
Ventilation System & Aerodynamics
Ventilation System of Neotec’s is what I like most in this Shoei helmet. It is excellent and very simple too. Truth is, Shoei Neotec’s ventilation system is much better as compared to other flip-ups and full-face helmets available in the market. In Neotec’s there are two different locations for airflow.
First, let’s talk about the “Lower Vent”. There is a shutter on chin vent with wide flap. Once the chin vent is opened, air will come through the vent into the top of the chin bar into the helmet. And press it close, the air flow stops. It is that simple, yet works so well.
But, there is a disadvantage of no airflow inside a helmet once chin vent is closed.
And the second one is “Top Vent”. The top vent of Shoei Neotec’s is also very simple. Unlike the chin vent, there is no button system at the top vent. But, a simple slider to push. Three positions upper vent is for optimal air intake. Shoei Neotec has wind-tunnel tested aerodynamics which improved cool air intake and hot air expulsion.
Face Shield
Shoei featured new CNS-1 Shield design which is claimed to be taller and wider than the CX-1V shield and provides 99% UV blocking facility. It is also comes equipped with a Pinlock EVO fog-resistant system. This system will prevent you from fogging but also consume your time for extra caution during installation.
Built-in QSV-1 Internal sun shield(Sun Visor) is another facility providing Shoei in Neotec. As we all know that this Sun Visor is very functional on hot sunny days. This internally rotating sun visor can be operated by a slider on the left-hand side of the helmet. The Shoei Sun Visor is a piece of art you know! And it is not some ordinary sun visor but QSV-1 internal sun shield which enables you to actually focus on riding no matter how long your trip is, the shield offers UV-protection and a wide field of vision without any distortion
Interior
Interior is another strong feature offering in Neotec helmet. It has a fully removable, washable, and replaceable 3D interior liner. Moreover, Multi-layer cheek pads allow the rider to wear eyeglasses inside the helmet. These cheek pads are for comfort and more stabilization. And last, it also included chin curtain which can be inserted into the bar to reduce turbulence and noise level.
