Perfect for standard intermediate head profiles.

Designed for urban commuting with a compact modular profile; fits most head shapes but may feel tight on very large heads due to the smaller shell size compared to standard TC-2.

How to measure

Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, and repeat for consistency.

Engineering & Biomechanical Safety Analysis

The Neotec II Urban TC-2 utilizes Shoei's proprietary X-Core Comfort system to distribute pressure evenly across the skull, ensuring a secure fit without hotspots. Its aerodynamic shell is engineered with precise venturi channels that optimize airflow dynamics, significantly reducing wind noise and thermal buildup during high-speed urban commuting.

The Shoei Neotec II Urban TC-2 is engineered as a high-integrity Modular protective system, utilizing a structural shell constructed from AIM. This structural layup is engineered to provide progressive kinetic energy dissipation during impact deceleration, distributing localized shock across outer lamina layers while minimizing deformation transfer into the internal multi-density EPS liner.

Certified to DOT, ECE 22.05 protocols, the architecture is subjected to rigorous linear deceleration limits and oblique impact evaluations to mitigate rotational acceleration forces associated with diffuse axonal injury. For a deeper breakdown of rotational thresholds and impact testing speeds, consult our ECE 22.06 vs DOT vs SNELL engineering benchmark.

Internal geometry follows a Intermediate Oval cranial profile, designed to mitigate focal pressure hot spots across the parietal ridges while maintaining uniform radial clamping pressure along the zygomatic arch. Riders seeking optimal retention stability and break-in guidance should review the cranial aspect ratios and head shape guide as well as our 3D cheek pad density protocol.

Shell composite integrity and acoustic sealing are further optimized through channelized EPS porting and aerodynamic laminar profiling. To learn how shell composites resist stress cracking under prolonged environmental cycling, inspect the composite material comparative matrix.
