looking for a new helmet

[stevie Allen]

Im looking at changing out my old shoei multi-tec , knowing they are no longer made and they now do neotec.
I was looking at the bmw 6 evo and the schubert c3 pro anybody got one and come from a shoei ?

My experience is don't bother with the neotec, but I know others who are happy with them.

Schuberth E1 or C3 pro if you want a flip, Arai if you want full face

All the usual stuff about "what shape's your head" and "the answer's different for everybody" applies...

I have both a 6Evo and a C3. No comparison. 6Evo 9/10. C3 7/10.

Main difference is quality of lining and comfort. The 6Evo also has a much lower profile when it's open, so if you like to ride with the front flipped up, it's way better...

I went from a Shoei XR1100 (full face0 to a C3 Pro. And my partner has a Neotech.

I would say that the quality is very similar.

The C3 Pro is very comfy.

My only quibble would be that, compared to my Shoei full face helmet, the ventilation on the C3 Pro is not so good. I have found that, on a hot day, I am continually having to ride with the visor cracked open to get more fresh air into the helmet.

Fitting my Sena headset etc was easy

I have gone from the neotec to the c3 pro, I find it a lot more comfortable, but, this was my second neotec and I changed it because it wasn't as good a fit as the first which I had no problems with.
Go figure that out. One neo fits perfect, the other ear stinger.

one of the main reasons I was unhappy with the Neotec was it often leaked and was noisy. Neither of those feature on the Schuberth E1 that replaced it. On the downside, it took a few weeks to bed in to my head shape, now fits like a glove.

Timely thread, I need to replace my BMW system 6, no issues with it for 5 or 6 years, great lid so looking at replacing like for like.

System 6

Admittedly mine is a system 6 and not the Evo, but it has been literally falling to pieces. The sun visor slider broke, the collar padding connector is split, the visor won't stay up and both cheek plates have come off. Maybe I'm too hard on it, but I'll not be buying a new one.

...but I'll not be buying a new one.

Just to say, I bought a new one.
It's a System 6 evo, and first impressions - it is a lovely helmet. They have fixed the visor problem. And the ventilation is better, and the internal sun visor is nicer.

Well it is built by Schuberth
