Shoei Neotec 3 - Grasp TC1

Great helmet. Typical excellent service at shop (Reading). Selected a specific date for home delivery (to get my size) but it was delivered 2 days early - this caused problems. When helmet arrived the sun visor was hanging off and couldn't get it fitted so had to do a return. First time I've had a problem at sportsbikeshop. Their co-ordination with DPD not good and item clearly not checked before despatch.

Ive always had full face helmets but this is just so comfortable to wear and makes wearing a helmet so convenient, being able to flip up the front and talk / have a drink without having to remove the helmet. The built in retractable sun visor is a massive bonus as it removes the need to wearing sun glasses, and can be popped up and down so easily. I've always worn Shoei and this is by far worth every extra penny over and above a standard full face helmet. Sportsbikeshop were really helpful in explaining the features and fitting my cardo for free (not included in the price of the helmet, that was extra), also going through alternative helmets with me to assist me in making a decision. Would def recommend bot this helmet and Sportsbike Shop for their helpfulness

Quality lid as you’d expect from Shoei. Found visor a little harder to remove & insert but that could be due to being new and not worn in so to speak. Also only gave four stars as inbuilt coms function only accepts a SENA unit and is overpriced.

Brilliant helmet, light and comfortable. Easy slide mechs for lifting the front and clicks down one handed feeling secure.

The people at SBS once again went above and beyond to help. After trying 2 different shell sizes and numerous thicknesses of liner we eventually got one that fitted! And it is a great helmet with good noise reduction. Only fly in the ointment is it appears to leak a little at the visior in heavy rain.

This helmet is so comfortable you almost forget you are wearing it . Very quiet compared to other helmets . I fitted a Sena 10s unit with no problems . Only one minor gripe , the chin strap isn’t very long but it works . Had Shoei helmets years ago and moved away because of price but it’s like the old saying, buy cheap buy twice .

Nice helmet, snug fit, less road noise than my old Neotec.

Purchased in July 2025 and worn three times so far.

Pros:
Very lightweight.
Exceptionally good peripheral vision.
Absolutely no fogging up with pinlock and breathguard fitted (despite being caught out in a sudden downpour).
Smooth and easy to operate flip front and drop down visor.
Very quiet whilst travelling at motorway speeds.
Easy to install Cardo Pack Talk Edge (with Tubbs Jackson off the market bracket).

Cons:
No surface flat enough to attach a GoPro mount.
More of the exterior shell could do with being neon yellow coloured to make wearer easier to see.

Having used a Neotec 2 for a number of years and been very pleased with it, I decided to upgrade to the Neotec 3 based purely on the excellent experience of the 2.
This helmet is the worthy successor to the Neotec 2 and the subtle improvements make it a very good if slightly expensive upgrade. Very satisfied.

I bought the Neotech 3 as wanted a premium flip helmet, yes expensive but in my view the only one to buy. Love it

A good improvement over the neotec 2 better ventilation and beds in quickly

Perfect fit. Easy smooth visor action with several locking stages.

I bought this helmet the day before a 4 day ride around Devon and Dorset. The helmet is really comfortable and quiet, I didn t need to use earplugs on the motorway as I usually would. I linked up with 5 riders using the new Sena kit I had installed in the helmet. This was vey clear and easy to use. Overall a brilliant helmet, not the cheapest by far, but worth the extra spend.

This was to replace my Shoei Tec 1. The helmets are the best on the market. first fitting, fits like a glove, well made , great design. Yes its expensive, but you only have one head and it needs protecting with this quality helmet. Highly recommended
