Helmets New Schuberth Helmet - Comm Ready

They do look nice. After seeing them in person they seem like the Mercedes of helmets.
 
The price would reflect that.

I bet everything from the pending comm system to the replacement visors are $$$$.

tried them out at the international motorcycle show. It will be my next helmet. They are by far the best helmet I have ever tried. i have been riding for over 35 years and have tried almost every helmet there is and the Schuberth is worth a very long look. Yes they are spendy but you do get what you pay for with this helmet.
 
My head likes Shoei fit the best, but this helmet may make me stray.

The real question becomes: Am I willing to ditch the Starcom if I buy an SRC compatible helmet?
 
I was fortunate enough to buy two Schuberth S1 helmets from a U.S. company when they were clearing out their inventory ... just before Schuberth re-entered the U.S. market. Got them both for less than $300 each, and I'm still using the first one ... second one is still NIB. Most quiet and dry helmet I've used.
 
This too will be my next helmet, i'm a helmet freak, currently wear a Schuberth S1 Pro, before was Schuberth R1, Arai Vector, Arai Profile, Shark RSI and Schuberth S1. Tried the Schuberth C3, find it noisy and could'nt bear with the forehead pressure.
Out of those i prefer the Schuberth S1 Pro so i guess the new S2 will be even more awsome.
 
Currently using a c2 and will look at the C3 or maybe it will be a C4 by the time this one needs replacement. I understand that the C-3 is rated as high as full face helmets and is the first convertible helmut to make the crash protection of a full face.
My Shuberths have fit me best of any helmet I have tried and they are quieter than most as well as lighter than any other flip face helmets I have tried.

Not true, most full face helmets meet DOT and Snell requirements, the modular helmets do not.
Not even the C3 has snell approval. No Modular helmet does.

Not to hijack the thread but I won't wear a snell approved helmet their tests are not true to what would happen in a real world crash. So I will only wear CE or DOT approved. The snell standard is for a much harder shell which may transfer more energy to your head than a DOT or CE helmet.

Each to their own, but I would never refuse to wear a helmet just because it met snell standards. Two of the finest helmets made, Shoei and Arai, are snell approved for all their models except the modulars. And they are wonderful helmets.
 
I've got a Shoei head too, but I tried on a Schuberth "C" model a year ago, and found the fit to be agreeable as well. I've never owned a Schuberth and put extensive miles under it, though.
 
Please forgive my ignorance, what defines a "Shoei head"? I have been wearing a Scorpion EXO-400 XXXL and am looking to replace it sometime this year.
I have seen sizes that are define by the distance around your head. I can understand when you are talking about a soft hat (baseball cap, beret, stacking cap, etc.) that is all you need.
A circumference would be a good starting point but not close to what is really needed to size ‘hard’ hats (read helmets).
The Schuberth web site gives no real information about what head shape they fit.
 
I've known people that fit best in Arai helmets. Some people better in Shoei. Some best in HJC, and others in Scorpion.

The point is that no two manufacturers shell their liners the same way, and everyone tends to find a brand that just hugs their head the best.

For me, HJC helmets are comfy, but never fit tight enough. Nollan helmets feel like I'm sitting in a cave, and Shoei helmets just fit right. If I were Goldilox, Shoei would be my preferred porridge.

Nothing wrong with the others, it's just what seems to suit my head best.

When will a manufacturor introduce a perfect form fitting shell a la Ski boots, put the helmet on, inject a foam that will perfectly fill the contour of your head, voila. do i need to deposit a "patent"

Million dollar idea. Run with it, now that you've announced it on the internet. Just, please, when you coat my head with foam, leave me a hole to breath through, m'kay?
 
I still lust for this helmet, but I'm thinking that'll get put in the same obsession that is reserved for Cindy Crawford and Grace Kelly - it'll never happen.

Dreams of a wireless comm system that allows me to yank all of my wires out of the ST and enjoy the integrated system are dashed by a $700 helmet plus another $400 for the base comm system. Sheesh.
