SHOEI · Neotec II · Modular
The SHOEI Neotec II is a modular motorcycle helmet built for riders who want the convenience of a flip-up design along with full-face capability in one helmet. With Street and Touring ratings of 10 of 10, it suits daily commuting, long-distance miles, and mixed-use riding where comfort features and adaptability matter.
Its AIM shell, Impact Absorbing Liner, and stainless-steel Micro Ratchet Chinstrap are paired with a streamlined shape that helps manage airflow and reduce unwanted wind noise. A CNS-3 shield system delivers a large, distortion-free view, and the internal sun shield provides quick relief from sun glare. Improved ventilation hardware and a removable, washable interior round out a practical setup for extended rides.
Neotec II uses a revamped “flip up” modular system that transitions smoothly between full-face and open-face configurations. This two-in-one approach is designed to add day-to-day convenience while keeping the helmet ready for a wide range of riding situations, from quick stops to extended touring stretches.
The CNS-3 shield system is designed to provide a large, distortion-free field of view and make shield changes straightforward. Neotec II also includes an internal sun shield that can be deployed in one quick motion, giving riders fast, on-the-fly relief from sun glare without changing the main shield.
A fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable interior system is designed for a comfortable fit and added stabilization during high-speed riding. ‘Noise Isolator’ cheek pads help reduce unwanted road noise. Neotec II is also designed for integration with SENA SRL/SRL2 Communication Systems (optional, sold separately).
Construction
Neotec II is built around SHOEI’s Multi-Ply Matrix AIM shell paired with a Multi-Piece EPS liner. This focus on the helmet’s shell and liner structure is complemented by a stainless-steel Micro Ratchet Chinstrap designed for quick, secure closure with comfort and adjustability. Certification is listed as DOT Certified; additional specifications are shown below.
Ventilation
Ventilation hardware on the Neotec II is designed for real-world use with riding gloves, featuring large upper and lower vent shutters. An expanded 3-position upper vent allows air intake to be adjusted to conditions, while uniquely positioned upper exhaust outlet vents help move air through the helmet for a setup intended to handle a wide range of rides.
Aerodynamics
Neotec II combines a streamlined helmet shape with a shell-integrated spoiler to help manage airflow. SHOEI also incorporates an innovative top air outlet design, plus an ‘Aero Deflector’ and ‘Vortex Generator’ lip on the chin bar. Together, these elements are intended to reduce unwanted wind noise while helping control airflow around the helmet in varying riding positions.
