I’ve had a Neotec 1 since 2015 and it has been the best helmet I’ve owned in nearly 50yrs of motorcycling. The fact that I’ve just replaced it with …. A Neotec 2, tells you all you need to know 👍
After 60 years of riding many different motorcycles and wearing many different helmets. I'm also wearing a Neotec 2. You mentioned a front tire blowout on the freeway. Maybe it's time to call it quits, I had my fun.
Interesting review. I recently tried this exact helmet on as it was on sale. I felt rather claustrophobic. My head felt closed-in and the fact that the helmet is so quiet seemed to further the claustrophobic feeling. I guess I felt rather disengaged from the outside world. I value the heightened safety but not so sure that I'll be comfortable with it. Any thoughts on this?
I know what you mean. This is exactly why I wanted a break-open/modular helmet. As soon as I get below 35 miles an hour, I pop that front part up and get the wind in my face.
I recently found your channel. Love the Meteor 350! As for this helmet ... have you tried the new Shoei 2022? It's amazing, only $125 down and then 3 easy payments of $899. 🙂
Hi Robert! Thanks for watching! So, the Shoei 2022 costs $2,792? ($125 + $899+ $899+ $899?) Or did you mean 3 easy payments totaling $899? For $2792, that helmet better have a cappuccino maker in it!
Great review and very useful..you chose a very nice area to review your helmet. Greetings from the UK.
Thanks, Andy! I shot this at one of the many campsites in Oak Creek Canyon, here in Sedona, AZ, USA. Such a lovely place. Glad you liked it!
Good review, thanks. Think I’ll buy one to go with my latest bike. Summer about to kick in here in New Zealand 👍

The front tire blowout was over 20 years ago. I’m never getting off of bikes.
My first Shoei Helmet I bought in 1991, I still use it in the summertime, great Quality .... Good Decision your wife made 😊😊😊
Thanks! And a great decision OF a wife that I made! 😄❤️
Dude, it really isn't safe to wear a 30 year old helmet - no matter how great it was originally.

Great video Chuck! The pinlock does work incredibly well in humid climates.
Thanks, Jordan! And great to know about the pinlock insert! Mine is still wrapped in plastic on a shelf! 💙 🙏🏼
Great presentation my friend,
Thank you! I'm glad you found value in it!

It seems like you have some great prices over there! For service on motorcycles as well!
@@BackRoadBikerChuck yes for service every 5000 km thy will charge inr 4000
Same was in my mind.mine is of axor apex turbine..what i find way out of my budget here doesnt carry any respect in the west.. 😂
@@drtgyjk I agree! Any helmet you have keeps you safer than not wearing one. Anyone who wears a helmet gets my respect! 🏍 ⛑ 👍🏼
@@BackRoadBikerChuck thanks chuck :)
That’s a no no to give anyone a cheap Walmart helmet for 99 dollars it’s not safe 👎👎👎
