SHOEI · Neotec 3 · Modular
The SHOEI Neotec 3 Grasp is a modular motorcycle helmet built for riders who split time between street commuting and long-distance touring. With its flip-up design, it can be used as a jet helmet or a full-face helmet, adding flexibility for stops, conversations, and changing conditions.
Designed with a sleek profile and a focus on comfort, the Neotec 3 combines an AIM shell, an Impact Absorbing Liner, and a refined shield and ventilation package for daily rides and extended mileage. It uses the CNS-3C shield system, includes an Anti-Fog Sheet and Breath Guard for clearer vision in varying weather, and is DOT Certified. The Grasp graphic is offered in Grasp TC-1, Grasp TC-10, Grasp TC-3, and Grasp TC-5.
Neotec 3’s Innovative Flip Up Mechanism is designed to support dual-purpose riding, functioning as both a jet helmet and a full-face helmet. The mechanism is also intended to be straightforward to operate, including when wearing winter gloves, making it practical for touring days, urban use, and frequent stops.
The CNS-3C shield uses a center locking mechanism to help keep the shield secure. A reworked shield shape is designed to improve sealing against wind and noise while aiming to reduce optical distortion for a clearer view. For changing light, the Neotec 3 also features the QSV-2 sun visor designed for optical precision and smooth operation.
For airflow management, the Neotec 3 uses a Defogger Ventilation System supported by multiple venting and extraction points. Closable air intakes include an insect filter to help block debris while allowing increased airflow. The layout includes closable inlets on the brow and chin, with outlets positioned at the rear to promote circulation in a range of conditions.
Construction
The Neotec 3 is built with an AIM shell made from layers of organic fiber and multi-composite fiber. Inside, it uses an EPS liner system with multiple densities, using EPS elements with varying shock-absorbing characteristics intended to be optimized for targeted areas. For quick reference, see the specifications below for the listed shell type and liner details.
Safety Design
To support fit adjustment at the chin strap, the Neotec 3 features a New Stainless Steel Micro Ratchet System. SHOEI describes this design as lighter and more pleasant to use, with easy handling and consistent adjustments. The goal is a secure, repeatable fit feel for everyday riding and longer touring stretches.
Communication
The SRL3 communication system from SENA is designed for discreet integration and is sold separately.
