Schuberth S1 Carbon
Best of the Best
|
|
Schuberth helmets are made in Germany, and that country’s reputation for intensive engineering effort is shown throughout its helmet range. The firm also makes F1 car racing helmets, as well as fire/rescue, police and military helmets, giving it an impressive breadth of design experience.
The S1 Carbon is the firm’s most advanced motorcycle helmet design, and its price reflects its high specification. Made from lightweight carbon fibre, it weighs in under 1.3kg, and its super-smooth aerodynamic design helps reduce wind noise compared with other helmets. Comprehensive ventilation channels offer adjustable airflow through the chin and top vents, and the lining is easily removed for washing. The fastening strap comes with a push-button ‘seatbelt’-style buckle, but an optional double-‘D’ ring fastener can be specified by the customer.
Schuberth also incorporates a clever ‘flip-down’ integral sun visor into the S1. An external lever allows the rider to slide a dark sunshield down behind the main visor, protecting his eyes from bright sunshine without needing to stop and change from clear to dark visor.
Schuberth’s design isn’t to everyone’s taste – the German firm doesn’t quite have the styling panache of many Italian or Japanese helmet firms. But its designs are unquestionably high-spec, and for the less fashion-conscious rider, the S1 may be the ideal sport-riding helmet.
