You’re looking at the Shoei RF-1400 vs Neotec 2, but you don't know which one is right for your needs? I'm here to help! 😀 There are some major differences between these two helmets so let's take a look… The first thing that might come into play when choosing will be the price as well how long their expected life span may last in years before needing to be replaced or repaired again (in addition if there were any recalls). You'll want something comfortable enough where it won. Shoei RF-1400 Shoei has released its long awaited RF-1400 replacement for their top seller, the company's latest model. In fact it is an improvement on Shiee’s previous product making this a great all rounder! The Snell and DOT certifications mean the product is protected. It has a well-thought out shield system, works well, comes with Pinlock for those who need it! I will leave out the measurements since the web page doesn't have them, but I can tell you they are spot on. Shoei RF-1400 I measured my head with the tape measure and the RF-1400 fit right on, nice snug fit not to tight, not to loose. The only real color choice is black unless you want to spend extra for paint which I didn't. On the side of the helmet, there is a small hole that looks like it should be an intake or exhaust port, but I wasn't sure what its purpose was. It didn't seem to serve much other than venting since it has no regulator valve on the inside, so I plugged it thinking it may be for noise. Feels solid and looks great, not the greatest visibility but I didn't buy it for driving. The visor can be popped off of course but I think its meant to be on there so lets keep it that way. Shoe logo right in front, nice touch! hot hot ! Weighs about 8 lbs with no liner so it sits nice and low. I think the weight comes from its thickness, much thicker than a car helmet so you can tell right away it is a different type of helmet. The chin strap was easy to adjust and tighten up with a simple quick-release buckle. There isn't much choice out there either so enjoy your new helmet while you can :) The car's aerodynamics are impressive as well as its noise control features - great if like me 😉 (and most people) have rounder heads that come in different shapes/sizes than what typically exists down at auto manufacturers' factories somewhere). The Shoei RF-1400 Helmet is the perfect choice for someone who wants a well-rounded, all-around safe riding experience. This product delivers on its promise and will not disappoint you in any way! Shoei Neotec 2 The Neotec II is not as quiet or well-built compared to other helmets in this category, but it still offers an excellent level of protection and comfort for motorcycle enthusiasts. Shoei Neotec 2 Shoei's 'ACS' system allows the user to easily lift up an inner sun-visor. The Neotec 2 also comes equipped with Shoei's Pinlock Max Vision visor and a built-in non-removable chin curtain for fresh air/exhaust protection (a must during colder months). Internal padding and cheek pads can be removed and replaced with different size cheekpads and liner inserts to ensure maximum comfort and fit. The Neotec II is a solid helmet that has been refined and developed further with help from SHARP. The Shoei Neotec 2 (Aka the 'Neotec II') is a premium flip-front motorcycle helmet that comes packed with features and high quality components. The shell is one-piece (which keeps weight down), has removable breath guard/chin vents; QR quick-release cheek pads; locking face shield mechanism; drop-down internal sun visor; and safety. The cheek pads can be removed and washed - an important feature for those who commute to work every day built-in rear light for added safety. The inside is fully removable and washable, so you won't have to worry about smelling after a long ride in summer or a wet commute. It scored the same overall marks as its predecessor but had lower scores for protection against blows to chin area due mostly because it lacks any sort of shield there - which most buyers would prefer not having if possible (and can be easily removable). The sunglasses holder is pretty nifty, and gives you quick access to your glasses so you don't have to take them off every time you stop at a streetlight. The rider can also store an iPod or MP3 player in the ear pocket, and if you want to go old school, the helmet is also compatible with Shoei's Modular Communication System (which allows you to plug in a standard wired intercom system). We didn't encounter anyone who found this concerning during our research; even though they are kind heavy duty compared other brands on market today
