Product Description
Neotec II - Experience the Versatility!
Design Concept
When SHOEI first introduced the NEOTEC in 2011, riders worldwide realized
not all modular helmets were created equal. With its lightweight, highly
aerodynamic shell, advanced noise reduction, and optimal vision protection,
all combined with an ease of use (critical to a modular helmet), SHOEI had
indeed achieved new heights in head gear design. But that was just the
beginning. Now, with the NEOTEC II, SHOEI has not only improved on
already outstanding features, but also introduced design advances to
bring their premiere modular design into a whole new era.
Ventilation Performance
The NEOTEC II’s improved ventilation system has been wind-tunnel tested
for cool air intake and hot air expulsion. Large upper and lower vent shutters
offer greater ease of use with gloves. The expanded three-position upper
air intake helps increase ventilation performance and adjustability. All-new
exhaust outlets flank the upper air intake vents for improved hot
air clearance.
Aerodynamics
Helmet aerodynamics have been wind tunnel-tested, and optimized to accommodate
varying riding positions. The NEOTEC II’s shell-integrated
spoiler is now reshaped and repositioned to further reduce lift and drag. The
helmet’s top air outlet also serves as a spoiler when riding in the upright
position. Chin bar aerodynamics are improved by the newlydesigned
“Aero Deflector”.
Micro Ratchet Chin Strap
The Micro Ratchet Chin Strap is a 100% stainless steel interlocking
mechanism which offers quick and smooth closure and opening,
comfort, and is easily adjustable.
Noise Reduction
The NEOTEC II’s enhanced shell shape has been designed to improve noise
control. A new airtight window bead, along with the face cover’s “Vortex
Generator” lip, help reduce noise and manage overall airflow. SHOEI also
developed new “Noise Isolator” cheekpads that deflect wind, as well as
reduce unwanted noise.
CNS-3 Shield System
The newly-designed CNS-3 shield comes equipped with the Pinlock® EVO
fog-resistant system, protects from 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays,
and provides improved air/water sealing and noise reduction. 3D injection
molding ensures a distortion-free view throughout the entire field of
vision. The incorporated base plate system facilitates smooth
and easy shield changes.
Flip-Up Face Cover
The NEOTEC II’s Flip-Up Face Cover is designed to convert instantly from
a full-face to an open-face configuration with the simple push of a large
lock release button located at the chin. The Face Cover holds firmly in the
open position with the help of the all-new 360º Pivot Locking System, which
assures a safe, secure closure when the cover is in the down, locked position.
Lightweight Face Cover/face shield rotate with smooth precision on a variable
eccentric axis, yielding the seamless versatility of a two-in-one design.
QSV-1 Internal Sun Shield
SHOEI’s NEOTEC II includes a built-in QSV-1 sun shield that offers instant
relief from sun glare with the use of a large, easily located switch. The
distortion-free view blocks 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays, and exceeds
ANSI Z80.3-2010 standards for non-prescription eyewear. The helmet’s outer
shell forehead area is raised slightly to accommodate the internal sun shield.
This allows the integrity of the helmet’s inner EPS liner to remain intact.
Multi-Piece EPS Liner
The NEOTEC II’s EPS liner provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing
varying densities of foam. Cooling air is allowed to travel unrestricted
through tunnels in the EPS. Precise placement of multi-density EPS
material yields a more compact, lightweight design.
Interior Comfort System
The removable interiors of the NEOTEC II are three-dimensionally
shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head, with multi-layer
cheek pads for improved comfort and helmet stabilization. All
interiors are adjustable, washable, and replaceable. The “Noise Isolator”
cheek pads have been developed to help deflect wind and reduce noise.
Intercom-Ready Design
For riders traveling in groups who need to remain in communication
with each other while traveling, the Neotec II has been designed to
integrate seamlessly with the SENA® SRL Communication System, which
in turn has been developed specifically for use with this helmet, and is
sold exclusively by Sena.
