Default Helmets

This is for those who wear full face helmets. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Shoei Neotech. Tried it on at a dealer and it fit great (XL) and was comfortable. But, right when I was about to order one, I started seeing some info on a Shark Evoline 3 ST, which seemed really interesting.

So, does anyone have any opinions on the Neotech or the Shark Evoline ? I sure would appreciate any info as they are both expensive and I'm not wealthy enough to make a mistake for this kind of money.

Until you try on the shark you`ll always be second guessing yourself. I own the neotec and love it. Never tried any other, no need to.

I have an Evoline II. I really like the chin bar option to move all the way back.

I have been wearing an RF 1000 for 6 years. I love the Neotech, but I can't justify spending 600+ at the moment.

I've seen the other 2 but tried on a Shoei GT-AIR Wanderer Helmet....OMG.

Light and pimp. Try that first before you make a decision.

Of all the helmets i tried, the Shoei Neotech won. Wanted a modular and couldn't find a schuberth c3 to at least try on.

Shoei's reputation speaks for itself. That being said, Shark are a fine French helmet manufacturer - I see a lot of riders wearing them in Europe.
