Shoei Neotec Borealis Helmets use Shoei's AIM shell, which stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix. What makes the Shoei Neotec truly unique is the internal sun visor design. Rather than compromise on the thickness of the EPS liner where the visor retracts, Shoei designed a small recess into the shell shape. This design is more expensive to produce, but allows Shoei to maintain their high safety standards while providing the convenience of an internal sun visor. The
Shoei Neotec Borealis Helmet boasts a lot of upgraded features when compared with the ever popular Shoei Multitec, and we actually recently had a chance to compare the two side by side. The chinbar pivot has been improved, keeping the chinbar lower when in the raised position. The
Neotec Borealis Modular Helmet also utilizes what Shoei is calling their Vortex Generator Lip, which is a small spoiler built into the trailing edge of the chin bar. This spoiler directs air up and away from the gap between the shell and the chinbar, as well as directing air around the slider for the internal visor. After taking the Neotec out on the highway for a quick spin, we can definitely say we were impressed by the low noise levels.
