My wife gave me a Neotech for my birthday last year. Started wearing it this spring for a couple of long distance rallies and unfortunately, I now have a permanent hair loss right at the front of my hairline due to a pressure point. Otherwise, the helmet is great. Low noise. Pinlock shield. Good Ventilation. Too bad I can no longer wear it.
Moshe, with the 2018 RT's irregular shape handle bars (w/o risers) what/how would you suggest best way to mount a USB receptible within the cockpit area? The DIN receptible, in my mind, is too far to the side and therefore not exactly suitable to extending a USB cable for charging a phone...Thanks!
Both my wife and I have Neotec helmets and worn them since mid-'12. The feature I use most is the integrated sun shade and I was surprised to see no mention of this feature and use of sunglasses during the review. Was there any particular reason why this feature was not addressed? Otherwise, it was a great review, thanks!
Dave, did you watch this? The sun shade is clearly demonstrated. I like that it was demonstrated over sunglasses because I have had helmets that did not allow the sun shade to be lowered over glasses.
Good video but my concern is noise, the main reason I have never had a modular. That big release in front looks like a huge noise maker. How was the noise level?
I thought the noise level was quite good for a modular. Caveat: I wear ear plugs when riding, and my main daily ride is a BMW R1200RT with a big fairing, so I'm not getting blasted all day long. On my naked bikes I thought the Shoei was quite good in the noise department for a modular.
I notice you are first i have seen with a Sena 10C. I also use a 10C. Any issue with camera mounting and speaker mounting? This may be my next helmet purchase. Thanks
I have a multitec that hits 5 yrs next year, this will be my next helmet.

Wow. Perhaps it wasn't a good fit to begin with? Anything that gives you that kind of pressure point CAN'T be a good fit, right?

I’d say if your goal is to charge a phone, ditch the wire altogether. See th-cam.com/video/m_z6eEst4o0/w-d-xo.html

Hi Dave- I did show the sunshade actuation. Start watching at the 2:20 mark.

MemphisMike no issues at all. Neotec is about to be replaced with Neotec II.
Moto Mouth Moshe Hmmm. Maybe I should wait on my purchase! Thanks for response
MemphisMike yeah or get an awesome deal on a leftover Neotec.
Moto Mouth Moshe Curious if any changes made possibly?
Moto Mouth Moshe Just picked one up. $549. Was told Neotec 2 appears could be some issues mounting 10C.
