The Shoei Neotec is a new addition to the 2012 range of Shoei helmets.

Currently pre-order only.

The new Shoei Neotec is the most versatile and remarkable flip front helmet on the market today.

With an inbuilt sun visor which is thoughtfully designed so as to not jeopardise the frontal protection of the helmet (a flaw which many helmets with a sun visor fail to address), the Shoei Neotec now outperforms the competition by a considerable margin.

If you still remain to be convinced, then you should know that the Neotec flip front scores as highly in test procedures as the Shoei full face range. This is remarkable in itself; that a flip front helmet with a moveable chin bar could be as strong as a full face helmet.

What's more, Shoei already DOUBLE their testing procedures to ensure all their helmets offer the most premium protection. For instance, if a test standard states that a helmet must be able to withstand a 2.5m vertical drop on to a metal anvil, Shoei will ensure their helmets can withstand a drop of 5m, and still pass the tests without question. The Neotec has also been subject to this painstaking testing throughout it's development.

The extensive specification of the Neotec only adds to to it's impressive performance:
