Premium Member keithu Posted April 15, 2021 Author Premium Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 Update: Something I don't like about this Neotec 2 is that the chin bar is somewhat difficult to latch closed. I find that I really have to slam it closed pretty hard or else it doesn't latch closed. With my old Scorpion and HJC modulars the chin bar latched closed with a relatively soft touch. Anyone else notice this? It actually seems to be getting worse on mine and I'm considering a warranty claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afineAmerican Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I have the original Neotec. Anybody who's owned both Neotec versions, is the Neotec II worth the extra $$$ over the Neotec I? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm regularly riding with the visor cracked to its first detent and it's (IMHO) just that little bit too much of a gap. If there was a way to 'halve' the opening it would tick all of the boxes for me. Otherwise, a great but expensive lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride365 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Yikes that's a lot of money for a lid, I can almost get a high end rear shock for that. I like the Scorpion AT950, I can buy 2 for that price and feel like I personally got my best money's worth and fit me very well with overall very good fit/finish. I know how nice Shoei's are, my buddy swears by them for many reasons and I owned an RF900 years ago.......but damn they aren't $700 nice.

nhchris Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 And if you replace your helmet every 5-7 years that costs adds up. I replaced my 10-year-old Neotec with $160 Bilt modular from Cyclegear and never looked back. I will toss the Bilt after 3 years and buy a fresh model. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m personally not a giant fan of the Bilt fit, finish, overall quality and longevity but I’ve personally long been a proponent of buying a last years graphic, closeout helmet at 40%-50% of what this years is for the same reasons: if it drops, gets stinky, fits weird, I crash, whatever, I’m far more likely to just replace a $200-300 helmet than I am a $600 or $800 helmet. If you watch sales and discount venders, and are not super picky in the graphics, deals are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
