Shoei NEOTEC Full Face Helmet Wine
With the popularity of sport and adventure touring at an all-time high,
the advancement of the incredibly versatile modular helmet segment was a
must for SHOEI engineers. Though still a respected part of our 2012
helmet lineup, the Multitec’s modular design was used as a backbone,
analyzed with scrupulous eyes, and tweaked ever so slightly to yield the
most progressive flip-up helmet on the market today—the all-new Neotec.
Boasting improved shell aerodynamics, a wider and taller field of
vision, a reduction in wind noise, an internal sun shield, and a fully
removable, washable and replaceable liner system, the Neotec is the next
level of modular helmet design for today’s hybrid motorcyclists.

Flip-Up Chin Bar & Face Shield
The Neotec’s flip up design offers the convenience and
versatility of a full-face helmet that converts instantly into an
open-face configuration. Utilizing an enlarged lock release button to
facilitate easy handling with gloves on, the Neotec’s lightweight chin
bar and face shield rotate with smooth precision on a single axis point,
yielding the seamless versatility of a true two-in-one design.
Internal Sun Shield
The Neotec’s built-in QSV-1 sun shield gives riders
instant relief from sun glare in one quick motion. A large, easily
located switch activates the 3D injection-molded inner shield, and the
distortion-free view blocks 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays just like
the CNS-1 external shield that lies ahead. Unique to the Neotec, the
forehead area of the outer shell is raised slightly to accommodate the
internal sun shield, allowing for the integrity of the helmet’s inner
EPS liner to remain intact. The QSV-1 sun shield exceeds the ANSI
Z80.3-2010 standard for non-prescription eyewear.
CNS-1 Shield & QR-N Base Plate
Wider and taller than the CX-1V that it replaces, the
CNS-1 protects from 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays, and SHOEI’s 3D
injection-molding process ensures a distortion-free view throughout the
entire field of vision. Coupled with the Neotec-exclusive QR-N base
plate system, shield changesand base plate function have never been
smoother.
Pinlock® Anti-Fog System
The all-new Neotec comes equipped with a Pinlock®
Fog-Resistant System, offering the most effective anti-fog protection in
existence. A simple, one-step installation process makes every Pinlock®
lens easy to install.
360º Pivot Locking System
SHOEI’s proven 360° Pivot Locking System is road tested
and made of high quality stainless steel components to ensure a safe and
secure closure when the Neotec’s chin bar is in the down, locked
position.
Shell-Integrated Spoiler
SHOEI’s exclusive, state-of-the-art shell forming
technology incorporates the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler right
into the shell of the new Neotec. Maintaining a consistent shell
thickness to guarantee proper strength and weight, the Neotec’s
shell-integrated spoiler reduces lift and drag during high-speed riding,
yielding a stable, less fatiguing ride.
Noise Reduction Design
Thanks to time well spent in SHOEI’s wind tunnels, Neotec
owners will enjoy a reduction of wind noise without blocking the road’s
“informative sounds.” In addition to optimal shell aerodynamics and
liner components designed to prevent unwanted road noises from entering
through the bottom of the helmet, a dual-ridge window bead and the chin
bar’s “Vortex Generator” lip work together to reduce noise and manage
airflow around the helmet.
Ventilation Performance
Utilizing SHOEI’s wind tunnels to help reveal the optimal
balance between airflow and silence, SHOEI engineers equipped the
all-new Neotec with a large lower vent shutter for ease of use with
riding gloves, a strategically-placed, three position upper vent for
optimal air intake, and uniquely-positioned upper exhaust outlet vents
to take better advantage of negative pressure suction—all yielding
dramatically-improved cool-air intake and hot-air expulsion.
Fully Removable Interior System
The Neotec is equipped with a fully removable, washable,
and replaceable interior system. The 3D center pad components are
three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head,
allowing for an extremely comfortable fit while maintaining the firm
hold necessary for distraction-free, high-speed riding. The Neotec’s
multi-layer cheek pads are available in different thicknesses for a
customizable fit.
Dual-Layer EPS Liner
The Neotec’s Dual-Layer EPS Liner not only provides
enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam, it is
designed to allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels
created in the EPS, further enhancing the Neotec’s unmatched ventilation
characteristics.
3 Shell Sizes
While some of our competitors rely on foam padding for
fitting a wide range of customers, SHOEI offers an industry-leading
three shell sizes in the new Neotec to ensure a custom fit for heads
between the sizes of XS-XXL.
Chin Curtain
The chin curtain can be inserted into the lower edge of the chin bar to reduce wind turbulence and noise.
Breath Guard
The breath guard can be inserted into the upper edge of
the chin bar to help reduce fogging by diverted exhausted breath down
out the bottom of the helmet.
