Description

The strength of a micrometric fastener is in its simplicity to use and, within limits, means that you re-tighten the strap every time. Oh, and in its cheapness to produce. Overall, this ratchet is a tad weighty for it's size, but then it is a one piece body with the expected ratchet plus a very useful (non-ratchet) 1/4" hex' drive in the other end! I was also disappointed with the venting on the original GT Air and found the revised visor change mechanism a bit more fiddly than the system it replaced. Despite all of that I still wore my GT Air as my number-one helmet for most of last year. The only splash of color on this colorway is the orangey-red chinbar release lever. Otherwise, it’s monochrome all around.

I never ride without earplugs so this is subjective. The GT-Air II is very quiet with plugs in place and there’s plenty of room in the padding around the ears to make it easy getting the GT-Air on and off without disturbing ear plugs. I managed to scuff the paint doing I’m not sure what , as I haven’t dropped the helmet or hit anything that I’m aware of. A layer of clear coat may have prevented the scuff in question, but I suppose I’ll never know what caused it in the first place. Bummer.Personally, I think the Neotec II looks significantly better than the Neotec (which itself wasn’t a bad looking helmet). Colorways Long-term durability of the finish may not be the best, but that’s also somewhat expected from a matte colorway. I’ll post an update at the end of the season to see how the finish has weathered.

The Neotec II is new for this year, and while it’s easy to assume that it’s an evolution of the aging Neotec, most of the helmet has been rethought or upgraded. According to Shoei, the Neotec II is quieter, more comfortable, and features improved aerodynamics. You can (and should) reference our original Neotec review for comparison purposes as I don’t have an original Neotec handy for proper side by side. Micro Ratchet Bit Driver - 1/4" Hex Drive - 72-Tooth Ratchet - Additional DriveOverview: Manufactured from high quality stainless steel with a fully polished satin finish. 72-Tooth, ultra-smooth ratchet with slide reverse. Additional drive at the base of handle. Ideal for limited as applications.Features: But it does have a weakness. And that’s in the fact that you only have an inch or so adjustment – the length of the ratchet strip in fact. That’s fine when the strap’s adjusted correctly, but when the strap stretches over time (which it probably will) it’s all too easy to have a micrometric fastener that’s not quite tightened enough. Sound quality of both streaming audio/navigation and phone calls is pretty good. Calls are mostly clear at city speeds, and the person on the other end will hear you. Most people I talked to were genuinely surprised when I told them I was doing 30 – 50 mph on my motorcycle.As the SRL is designed for the Neotec, the buttons look as if they always came with the helmet. There are no bulky control units on the side of the helmet, or any other visual indicator (aside from the microphone) that you’ve installed anything at all.

The guide calls for you to hold the center button for 12 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the intercom will announce pairing mode . Once you have everything paired up, using the SRL via your phone is like any other Bluetooth speaker/headset. The SENA Utility app allows you to configure the various settings of your SRL (things like audio compensation, multitasking, etc.). The chinbar vent is dual purpose: it brings airflow into the helmet to keep you cool, and it also keeps the visor free of fog. I haven’t had the ability to ride the Neotec II in wet weather (yet, Calgary is living in a drought at the moment), so I’m unsure of how changes in humidity would impact the system’s effectiveness. I will update the review when I have an opportunity. The fit is unchanged with the addition of the SRL- the earpieces and microphone blend right into the overall design of the helmet and do not intrude in any way. NoiseThe viewport on the Neotec II is functionally identical to the original; the Neotec II is perfectly fine with respect to visibility, granting its wearer an expansive field of view. I do not feel my visibility while wearing it is at all restricted, and that extends well into my peripheral vision as well. Face Shield Protective gears’ sole purpose is reducing the severity of an injury. Ear plugs are protective which I use.

wBW readers and fans of modular helmets everywhere will note that the original Shoei Neotec was introduced in 2012, and since its introduction it has rightfully earned and maintained its reputation as one of the best modular helmets around. In fact, earlier this year we selected it for our recommended modular helmets guide . With the SRL integrated, the Neotec II weighs 4.2lbs, which is near the bottom of our 272 helmet comparison… and nearly right on top of the original Neotec. Airflow & Venting The amount of force required to extract the bit is bound to vary dependant upon the cleanliness of the tool & bit, i.e. I'd expect the bits to barely hold if covered in clean lubricating oil.

Shoei’s original GT Air was their first premium helmet not aimed at sports riders. A drop down sun visor brought convenience and judging by the number of them I see sitting on tables at bike meets, the UK riding public liked what they saw. Still, the Neotec II does so with experienced confidence and easily earns a place as one of the segment leaders. I’ve had mine for four months now and have ridden around 6000 miles in all weathers, on bikes ranging from my 2002 Yamaha Fazer 1000 to a 2019 BMW S1000RR, but mostly on a KTM 1290 Super Duke GT. Both SENA and Shoei have been marketing the integration of the SRL for the Neotec II quite heavily. The system is designed to integrate seamlessly into the Neotec II, offering an aesthetically-pleasing way to listen to music, take calls, or use your smartphone’s navigation.
