Got my Sena SRL this afternoon from Infinity Farnborough. Ordered it in Feb and it's only arrived now. The have a backlog of 8 orders and seem to be issued 2x SRL's at a time. Pleased with it, very neat installation.
Ok ordered the neotec 2 with the srl and a sena 20s for the better halfs helmet last tuesday.....the sena 20s arrived the next day, the srl unit arivved today and just got a email to say the neotec will be delivered tommorow!!! Seems a bit of arse about face way of delivering it it all but ...at least I got it !
Helmet City website says both helmet and SRL are in stock, about to pull the trigger on the black white red graphic one, just wonder if they are actually in stock!
Ok me know if you think the remote is worth it ! I did consider it but not sure exactly what the advantages of it were !!!
GaryO, if you've gone for the same one as me, you'll either have to put grip puppies on or something, to make the grip larger otherwise the clutch lever strikes the gadget, it does also compromise the grip area as well which isn't to bad if you've got little hands like me, but it also increases the thumb and finger stretch to the switches, and you will keep hitting the toggle switch unintentionally with your fingers when reaching for the handlebar switches. Other than that their ok
Not fitted the handlebar thingy yet but had around 4 hours riding with the helmet and SRL setup. Firstly the new Neotec 2 visually and I would say from a quality point of view is a definite improvement on my Neotec 1. Integrated SRL went in easy enough and looks great , although it took me a while to work out to hold the centre button long enough to pair to phone and bike. Now here we go, my Neotec 1 was supremely comfortable, however, the Neotec 2 hurts my head around the front of my temples where it feels like there’s not enough padding, after a few hours its quite uncomfortable. This may be due to the revised airflow design for the new shell ?. My last comms system was an Interphone Tour which worked pretty well, the Sena on the other hand is a pig to get configured correctly to how I want it. I have all the apps and stuff so was well armed for battle. Whilst riding it turned itself off for no good reason and also wouldn’t auto answer a call no matter how much I shouted at it. I probably need a bit more time with the comms but I am worried about the fit of the helmet. All in all not a good initial experience , heres hoping for better things.
at GaryO ther is plenty of different sizes in padding available, though may be hard to get hold off atm, but there is certainly a huge of variation for you to choose from

From what I've read on this forum GaryO, good luck with connecting through the bike I've connected my pratnav and phone through the Sena which works great with the handlebar remote, but I've given up on hey Siri or voice activation. Don't even know if it's supposed to work with v/a even though it's mentioned in the stupidly complicated manual
Re pressure on your temples, I suspect a shell size too small?? Is this the size you tried on? If bought online you do have time to change it for a better fit.
Same size as my Neotec 1 , bought it online , so makes me think theres a pretty big design change in the shell sizing. They wont accept a return as I have worn it
