I had the Neotec and now have Neotec 2 but have also just bought the GT Air 2.
For me,the best bit is the ability to fit the SRL Sena comms kit.
I don’t need an intercom with 8 bikermates-tried that and its a waste of time.But I do like listening to music on long solo trips and its handy to have intercom with g/f when she’s on the back with her Neotec on.
I actually think the GT Air will get used more as its seems plusher and quieter.
Might use the Neotec for hot climes such as my Spanish trips.
Can't comment on the helmet advice, but "hot climes?" "HOT CLIMES"??!!?? Climes can only be sunny. 1/10. Must try harder.
I splurged on my first modular helmet just as the Neotec 2 came out and the original version was to be had for £299 from M&P. Like all Shoei's it is well made and a big improvement on my older XR1100. I like the flip down sun visor a lot. I also use the helmet in flip-up mode around town or when bimbling if sightseeing. The flip also makes taking a drink or blowing your nose a lot easier as it becomes a quick pitstop if needed. It was also rather handy when a bee gut stuck between the chin bar and the top of my jacket. I got stung but managed to pull out the sting before too much venom had gone in. I can only imagine the #2 will be a little better with the extra certification and advance in materials which hopefully make it a bit lighter. 1700g for my Neotec is 200g heavier than non-flip helemets.

The original Neotec isn’t certified to be ridden in flipped up mode . The Neotec2 is though .
which is why I used the words "extra certification"
1/10.
Must not be a smart arse when one knows fuck all.
Clime:
The key to remembering clime is that it's so similar to "climate," with which it shares the Greek root klima, "zone." So a clime is a zone that has a characteristic climate. Folks in colder climes think nothing of the kind of snowfall that we down here in the south get all panicked about. But then again, when they come here to our warmer clime, they forget to put on sunscreen; people from one clime can learn a lot from a visit to a different clime.
So “hot clime” or hot climate is perfect use of the word ‘clime’ and is more appropriate than your ‘sunny clime’ as climate changes are more usually described with regard to temperature variation rather than cloud cover,or lack of.
So shove that up yer rant
Bought Neotec 2 with SRL comms . Very comfortable comms connects easily with the TFT/Nav and IPhone .... but I do find it very noisy it’s not much quieter that the Shoei Hornet ADV or the Arai Tour X4 that it replaced . So snug is the fit I does tend to mist up along the bottom edge off visor . Drop down sun visor works well and easily activate with gloved hand as does the top vent .
