I think Shoei have made a massive mistake with getting into bed with Sena. Both the Neotech 2 and GT Air 2 are much more difficult to fit the vastly superior Cardo Packtack comms units to now. They have just shot themselves in the foot and will lose a lot of sales, me included. I'm a Packtalk user and won't change to Sena, neither will any of the group I ride with so that's 10 potential Shoei sales they've lost as we replace our helmets. It is possible to fit a glue plate mount on a Noetech 2 but it's too far back on the helmet so thanks very much Shoei and bye bye. 😡.
Thanks for the comment! We agree it is a shame that Shoei is really only offering the Sena route, though we still offer product bundles with either the Sena or Cardo comms units. What helmet(s) are you thinking of switching over to?
I am a professional emergency services rider and ride 12hr shifts. I have just picked up my new issue Neotec 2, which is finally replacing my aged (7 year old) Neotec which I kept in service for longer than I should. I was issued a bmw system 6 evo two years ago and used it for 6 weeks before putting it back in the cupboard (bmw lid is awful in comparison) where it will lanquish until I chuck it away at five years old. Neotec is a far superior helmet and I have always been very impressed with it, even at 100mph plus speeds. I am looking forward to breaking my new lid in, and if it is an improvement over the last Neotec I will be very impressed indeed!
Thank you for your feedback. It would be awesome to learn from your experience. Especially since you are on the road so often. I think it would be valuable content for people that are considering this helmet to learn from other riders such as emergency service riders. We look forward to reading more from your side about your road experience with this helmet.
Good comparison video.
Quick Help needed. So the visor from Neotech does not fit the Neotech 2?!
Love these comparison video's!

I have my original neotec size small and want the 2, should I go to an xs since some reviewers say it fits bigger?
Hi Lise, no they have the exact same sizing. So you should stick to XS if that fitted nicely.

Thank you. Looking forward to it.
