Introducing SHOEI Neotec II:

MERGE WITH NATURE

November 7th, 2017

As the successor to the very popular „Neotec“ model introduced at the end of 2011,

the Neotec II now offers numerous new features and functions that are again leading

the way in the flip-up helmet segment. In addition, this model can be equipped with

a fully integrated communication solution for the first time.

New flip-up helmet with groundbreaking design

The striking design of the Neotec II certainly stands out first. Its even more aggressive look

and extremely compact design thanks to three different shell sizes, combined with a perfect

fit and maximum functionality, distinguish this model.

New lines, a flat finish of the visor and chin section, as well as the partial use of black components

create a modern and homogeneous overall appearance.

In order to fit as many motorcycle models as possible, the upper ventilation also serves

as a spoiler when riding upright, while in a sportier and forward driving position, the rear

spoilerstyle shape of the shell particularly achieves its stabilizing effect.

Enjoy the comfort zone

In order to make longer journeys even more pleasant, we have optimized the wearing

comfort of the new Neotec II and reduced unwanted disturbance factors.

Thanks to the „noise isolation“ construction, the innovative cheek pads developed in the

wind tunnel prevent the ingress of wind and thus allow for a much quieter driving experience.

When the stainless steel micro ratchet is closed, the Neotec II offers a very effective

downwards draft shield.

The chin spoiler (Aero Deflector) has also been redesigned to promote stability and allow

relaxed driving with low turbulence.

The 3D-designed, fully removable and washable interieur consists of several urethane

foams in different degrees of hardness and offers a perfect fit and extremely high wearing

comfort.

Reworked flip-up-mechanism

As with its predecessor, the Neotec II‘s flip-up-mechanism is eccentrically shaped and

equipped with a variable axis to ensure optimum locking.

The face cover is held securely in its upper position by a stronger mechanism. In addition,

there is another rear snap-in position which makes the P/J double homologation as a jet

and integral helmet possible.

The release button of the Neotec II‘s flip-up-mechanism has been designed to work well

even in winter with thicker gloves.

The rear edge of the face cover also has a vortex generator, which noticeably calms the air

flow at this transition point.

Sophisticated safety function

The Neotec II has an Advanced Integrated Matrix (AIM) shell made up of five different

fiberglass and organic layers. This achieves an optimal compromise of maximum stability

and flexibility.

The liner of the Neotec II also consists of several EPS elements of different hardness, depending

on the area, and thus optimally absorbs impact energy.

Integrated communication for the first time

A completely new feature at SHOEI is the possibility to fully integrate an optionally available

communication system into the helmet shell. With the Neotec II, a separate, triangularly

shaped control unit has been provided on the lower side of the helmet, which is completely

embedded in the helmet shell and thus allows a homogeneous appearance.

The leading manufacturer „SENA“ is a partner of SHOEI and with its SRL* system (SHOEI

Rider Link) developed especially for the Neotec II, it offers the suitable intercom option in a

pioneering 3-button design.

The chipset of the SRL* is based on SENA‘s 20S system and is currently the best communication

solution on the market. Up to eight riders can connect via Bluetooth 4.1 with

a maximum range of 2 km, communicate with each other, listen to music, use the mobile

phone or navigation system and much more.

Enough air for long distance touring

A newly developed ventilation system makes it a perfect choice for touring riders.

The lower air inlet is newly designed, supplies fresh air to the mouth and visor area and is

particularly airtight when closed.

The upper ventilation has been designed with two air intakes compared to the predecessor,

while above the slots in the rear area there are already air outlets.

The rear ventilation with its three additional air outlets serves as spoiler and pulls the used

air out of the helmet through this vacuum.

Visor without hard edge

The new CNS-3 visor stands out in the upper area with its bevelled edge, which especially

prevents moisture and rain from finding their way into the inside of the helmet. In addition,

the visor seal has been redesigned to provide a tight seal between visor and outer shell.

Different material thicknesses and a distortion-free, extra-large view distinguish the injection-molded

CNS-3 visor made of polycarbonate.

The integrated QSV-1 sun visor of the Neotec II can now optionally be replaced with a HD

yellow and contrast-enhancing lens. The cut-out opening of the helmet shell for the sun

visor mechanism has also been considerable reduced, which has led to a significant increase

in stability in this area.

The Neotec II will be available from January 2018 at a price starting at a recommended

retail price of 599, - EUR in six different sizes (XS-XXL), seven colours and three graphic

variants.

*The SRL Intercom system developed by SENA especially for the Neotec II is offered and

sold exclusively by SHOEI at the retail price of 299, - EUR.
