New Lid: Schuberth C3

Trip · 11-07-2011, 09:05 PM

So I went old man with my newest lid, but this thing is bad ass. Short list of some of the neat features:

Slide down tinted visor with a mechanism that works on both sides, no screw ups sliding up or down

pinlock double clear visor, no fogging up

ratchet strap system that makes for simple put on/take off

amazing vent system, feels like you are riding helmetless

very quiet, much more than my Shoei X-11 or Hornet

built in speaker holes in the foam, you can't feel your com speakers in your helmet

very awesome chin padding system for cold weather

Schuberth ribbing on visor that breaks the wind buffeting instead of using the back fin that most helmets have

very light

Here are some pics

Nice looking lid. My comment about NY stands

I'm an old man helmet convert. I think from now on I want two helmets around the house, a full face and a flip up with a drop down visor.

The C3 looks good, but really its too expensive for my tastes. The Nolan I wore at the rally is nice, but I wish I would have spent the extra $$$ on the scorpion and gotten a face shield that wont fog on my.

I just know that I need to change helmets for my neck's sake. Hurts like a mofo after 200 miles or so.

I've been thinking about a Schuberth! I'm glad to see that you are pleased with it. I'll probably get one over the winter.

I did notice one thing though. Your sticker on the back, well, you're missing a few states.

I'm curious how you like it over time. I like my nolan modular but there are things I wish were different or better.

I will keep you up to date. So far I love it. I really really love my Hornet, but that visor wears your neck out, but I don't like to take it off cause the helmet looks retarded without it.

Having the built in tinted visor will be bad ass too. I hate wearing sunglasses and changing visors, so I normally just go clear all the time.

I really wish it had the flip over feature of the shark evoline, but that helmet just didn't fit me right.

Got to use it at all?

Yeah, I love it. The main thing I need to change is what they do on the euro models. They have a piece of velcro on the chin straps to keep them from coming apart an letting the ratchet rub your neck.
