In this episode, we review the new Shoei Neotec 3 motorcycle helmet.  As a police motorcycle officer, instructor, and avid rider, I've extensively used Shoei Neotec modular helmets since the release of the first version. My daily routine and off-duty adventures have given me ample opportunity to test a variety of modular helmets, and Shoei consistently stands out. In my opinion, modular helmets are unparalleled for their convenience—allowing me to flip up the chin bar to talk to fellow riders or get some airflow during stops, and then easily flip it back down when resuming my ride.

Transitioning from Neotec 2 to Neotec 3

Having recently upgraded from the Neotec 2 to the Shoei Neotec 3, I’ve noticed several significant improvements that other reviews have overlooked. Here’s a detailed look at what sets the Neotec 3 apart.

Note: You can get a Shoei Neotec 3 in the Law Abiding Biker Store. We'll get it on the way to you ASAP. We're just a bunch of bikers helping bikers.

Key Improvements

Enhanced Face Shield Mechanism

One of the most notable upgrades in the Neotec 3 is the face shield mechanism. Previous versions featured a slight lock at the bottom detent, but the Neotec 3 introduces a mechanism that securely locks the shield in place, creating a robust seal. You’ll hear and feel a satisfying click when the shield locks. A new push-release button under the face shield's center makes this process even more user-friendly.

Centrally Located Thumb Tab

In earlier versions, the face shield's thumb tab was positioned on the left side, complicating operation for those with their left hand on the clutch lever and reaching across with their right hand, which tweaked the face shield making it difficult to operate. The Neotec 3 resolves this with a centered thumb tab, enabling smooth, ambidextrous operation. This thoughtful design change significantly enhances usability, making the shield movement effortless.

Improved Ventilation

Ventilation has also seen improvements. The chin vent now offers two positions instead of one, while the top vent, though lower in profile, maintains the familiar three positions. Additionally, the helmet's rear has been redesigned for a more modern aesthetic.

Retained Features

The Neotec 3 retains several features that Shoei fans appreciate. The helmet comes with the reliable anti-fog Pinlock inner face shield, ensuring clear vision in varying weather conditions. Shoei’s quick-release ratcheting chin buckle system remains superior to the outdated D-ring chin strap, offering ease of use even with gloves on. If your helmet does have the old D-ring system you can easily replace it with one of our high quality metal to metal ratchet buckle chin straps just like the one used on the Shoei Neotec 3.

The internal tinted sun visor continues to operate very smoothly using the external slider buttons. Just use a slider like this on a cheaper helmet and you'll see how refined the Shoei Neotec 3 is. 

Comfort and Fit

Comfort is paramount in a helmet, and the Shoei Neotec 3 excels in this area. It’s the most comfortable and in the top 2 quietest helmets I’ve worn and feels like a slipper for your head. The premium quality is immediately evident when compared to less expensive, off-brand copies.

Model Options

The Shoei Neotec 3 is available in three models: the basic Neotec, the Grasp (which I chose), and the Santori. The differences lie in color options, with the Grasp and Santori offering multi-color designs while the basic Neotec comes in solid colors. Note that older Neotec 1 and 2 face shields are not compatible with the Neotec 3 due to design changes. All models and shields are available in the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Final Thoughts

For street motorcycle riding, the Shoei Neotec 3 is my top choice. This premium helmet is refined and well-constructed, offering unmatched comfort and quietness. The enhancements made in the Neotec 3, along with the retained features from previous versions, make it an exceptional modular helmet. If you choose the Neotec 3, you won't be disappointed.
