Flip-up Motorcycle Helmets

Flip-up helmets divide opinion. Some riders love them. Some think they’re for police officers and a certain kind of BMW rider. But, frankly, that view is outdated. At Motolegends, we’re big believers in flip lids - they offer a blend of practicality, comfort and performance that’s hard to beat.
 
First, a well-designed flip-front helmet is often quieter than a full-face. That’s because it can be slipped over the head from behind, allowing a snugger neck roll that seals better against noise. When closed, a flip-up helmet is every bit as safe and aerodynamic as a full-face. But when you’re in town, stuck at the lights or simply want some air, you can pop it open and breathe. Need to ask directions? No need to take your helmet off.
 
Flip-lids are also preferred by emergency services. In the event of an accident, they give medics quicker access to your airways - without needing to fully remove your helmet.
 
Our favourites? The Shoei Neotec 3 is hard to beat - quiet, refined and incredibly well made. The Schuberth C5 is a worthy challenger, especially with its integrated Mesh comms and updated safety shell. Both are ECE 22-06 certified, offer custom fit options, and can be tailored to your head at our Guildford store.

Shoei Neotec 3 helmet in white

Adrian: Shoei Neotec 3

I chose a Shoei because my previous helmet was a Shoei RF-SR full face helmet size Medium. That helmet fit me very well and I was sure the medium size in the Neotec 3 would fit. I was right, it is also a very good fit. I dont know why I havent had a modular or flip-lid helmet before. It is so much more convenient, especially putting on and taking off. I dont even have to remove my glasses if Im careful. Along with the fit is the fit n-finish quality of the Shoei. I am impressed with the construction, mechanics, and ease of removing and installing the padding. The mechanism for removing and installing the face shield is different from the RF-SR model, but I think I have fiddled with it enough to get it on and off. The chin curtain is not vented and no air can enter through this pathway like on the RF-SR. This is both good and potentially bad. Good in that no air noise enters here, but no additional ventilation either. The face shield latch is relatively easy to use once youve done it a few times. I am very pleased with this helmet and glad that Iconsidered staying with a Shoei.

Shoei Neotec 3 helmet in metallic garnet red

Stuart J: Shoei Neotec 3 SRL 3

Had a Neotec 2 now upgraded and you know Shoei have done it again. The PFS fitting service invaluable in getting a nice snug fit. The quality of the kit and fitting is superb. This with the SRL-3 intercom system is a fantastic piece of kit. Love all the new features. Centre opening visor is more rigid, vents good, the SRL-3 buttons easier to use with the gloves. The cheek and neck skirts seal around you. Yep a great choice and great colour.

Martin Sheffield: Top Quality

I replaced my Neotec 2 as it was 5 yrs old with a new Neotec 3 in the recent sale event. It is a better helmet than the Neotec 2 in a number of areas the quality of finish, graphics, quietness, sun visor and it is designed and tested to the latest standard. The medium size fits my head shape well and after changing the head lining its been comfortable over a 2000km trip to Spain. An area for further improvement would be the top of the helmet ventilation as consistent temperatures over 30C left my head sweating. I didnt use PFS but it was simple and cost free to swap the liner for a thinner one. I also transferred the Sena SRL2 comms from the old helmet to the new using the Shoei adaptor. That took a morning to do but it works very effectively and saves £300. In summary the Neotec 3 is an improvement in just about every aspect and is a better helmet than its predecessor. Delivery and service by Motolegends was its usual high standard.
