Improved aerodynamics

One of the outstanding features of the Neotec 3 is its improved aerodynamic design. Shoei has invested considerable R&D effort into creating a helmet that excels at reducing wind resistance and minimizing helmet lift, especially when riding at high speeds. The result is a sleek and aerodynamic shell that cuts through the air with minimal turbulence and contributes to rider comfort and stability.

Improved ventilation

Traveling riders often face a variety of weather conditions, from scorching heat to chilly winds. Neotec 3 solves these challenges with its improved ventilation system. The Shoei has multiple intake and exhaust ports, strategically placed to provide optimal airflow. Riders can easily adjust the vents to suit their preferences for all-weather comfort. In particular, the redesigned chin vent improves ventilation to prevent fogging and maintain clear vision.

Improved shield system

The Neotec 3 boasts an improved shield system that increases both comfort and protection. Compared to its predecessor, the CNS-3 shield offers a wider and higher field of vision, reducing blind spots and improving overall road awareness. Shoei has also integrated the innovative "Vortex Generator" technology into the shield to reduce noise and wind resistance, allowing for a quieter and more enjoyable ride.

In addition, the Neotec 3 shield features Shoei's patented "QR-N" base plate system, which allows quick, tool-free shield replacement. This feature is especially useful for riders who frequently switch between clear and tinted shields, or who need to replace a damaged shield on the go.

Enhanced security features

Safety is paramount in the world of motorcycle helmets and Shoei has gone even further with the Neotec 3. The helmet shell is constructed using Shoei's Advanced Integrated Matrix (AIM) technology, which combines multiple layers of organic and composite fibers to create a strong and lightweight shell that offers exceptional impact absorption. Neotec 3 is both DOT and ECE certified and meets or exceeds safety standards worldwide.

In addition, the Neotec 3 features the Shoei Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ shell, which optimizes impact performance in various riding scenarios. The helmet's modular design ensures that both the chin bar and face shield are securely locked in place during use, further enhancing safety.

Comfort and convenience

Commuting riders often spend extended periods of time on the road, so comfort is paramount. The Neotec 3 features a plush 3D Max-Dry inner system that is not only comfortable, but also moisture wicking and odor resistant. The interior is fully removable and washable, so it's easy to keep the helmet fresh and clean even on long trips.

In addition, Shoei designed the Neotec 3 with an integrated sun visor that allows riders to quickly adapt to changing light conditions without the need for additional glasses. The Neotec 3 Cheek Pad Cooling System further enhances comfort by directing airflow to the rider's cheeks, helping to keep them cool and comfortable.

Shoei's Neotec 3 represents a significant leap forward in modular touring helmet technology. With improved aerodynamics, improved ventilation, an improved shield system and advanced safety features, it meets the specific needs of touring riders. Shoei's commitment to quality and innovation is evident in every aspect of the Neotec 3, making it the best choice for riders who demand the ultimate in comfort, convenience and safety during their two-wheeled journeys. As travel enthusiasts prepare for their next adventure, Shoei's Neotec 3 is ready to provide maximum protection and riding experience.
