Shoei Neotec 3 review
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
It states an adapter plate to fit the Sena Srl 2:mesh will be available so that’s good news.
Where did the chap in the video has mentioned this? I have looked again, but couldn't see him mentioning.
I have looked at SRL Mesh the other day, and Infinity motorcycles seem to be doing a deal on them at the moment.
What does that tell me then? It means that Feridax (importer for both Sena and Shoei) are clearing out stock. If you could retrofit Neotec 2 comms to Neotec 3, why would they want to discount them?
It’s in the report I take it you watched the video read this at the bottom “While the Shoei Neotec III has its own, dedicated SRL 3 intercom system made by Sena, there is an adaptor plate promised that will allow the new helmet to use the old SRL 2 comms”.

Indeed. It also can be fitted with the Cardo shoei specific Sho-01 (scala rider?) which is on special offer at the minute at £100 less than the Sena unit.
I really like my neotec 2, but am now being swayed by the Shark 180 degree modular flip helmet. They seem a little more functional to me for riding in the open position. Almost best of both worlds. Anyone got experience of both helmets?
Yep, the Shoei is a better build but the Shark is so practical that I found that I was riding with just the visor down and sun visor in nice weather. I had the evo 1 & 2. I’m now back to my Shoei neo 2 but would happily change between the two. My pal has the same thing in a LS2 but I might be wrong but are they a Chinese version.

Yes. I looked at the Shark Evo-GT 180 last week but ended up buying the Neotech 2 simply as it fitted better and I think just has the edge on quality. I preferred the practiccality of the Shark and use a Spartan Carbon lid myself which was very well made and very light but the shark apparently is a little louder. Bear in mind that the Neotech 2 is being discounted now and can be had for a tenner less than the Shark lid. I wouldn't buy the LS2. I didn't like the build on that one.
In terms of intercoms, I tried a Cardo Duo rider set (offered to me at knock down price) and fitted that to the Neotech but it was less than useless, and perhaps faulty. Couldn't be heard on a phone call which for what I needed it for was a big black mark and it wasn't audible much above 30 to 40mph. I'm replacing that with a Sena SRL Mesh unit dedicated for the Neotech II which addresses the audibility issues many have experienced with the SRL2, thanks to better speakers and better noise control.
I’ve got an LS2 carbon flip on the way .
Loved my LS2 KTM jobby so hoping it’ll be good
Love my Neotec 2 but last trip rode it with the chin bar up a fair bit so the LS2 will be better as chin bar goes right back .
In France at the mo but used my open face Shoei J-O as was so hot .

How are you finding this?
I have a Neotec 1 and a Neotec 2 with SRL 2. The original is far superior to the 2. I wear both but prefer the original. The 2 has poorer ventilation, flimsy visor compared to the original, this annoying also sits in your line of sight to your clocks / nav when 1 click open in the rain. Hope the 3 is an improved 1 rather than a lesser 2.
Just a heads up, black friday deals are to be had on this new lid. Inifinity were doing it at £670 (White) inc the SRL 3 at the NEC show and I see SpotsbikeShop are offering 25% off for black friday making match the Inifinity price.
Get infinity deal screenshot and send it to Motolegends (pricebeat@motolegends.com) for a further -10% price beat deal.
plus unlike Infinity MC, they will be happy to replace any innards for nothing (shop visit is necessary and they keep the originals) to fit your head shape.Infinity and so on, will charge for the necessary pads on top of the lid.
