So here's what I've learned from 50 years on the planet and 30 years of motorcycling: Buy quality gear and feel the pain once (when you pay) or buy inferior stuff and feel it everytime you use it and again when you finally buy what you *should* have purchased in the first place.

Having said that, this is a really expensive helmet. I agonized over the purchase. Could it really feel that much better than my HJC? Oh yeah! Quieter, lighter, smaller profile and since I went for the hi-viz, very conspicuous in traffic. The pinlock works like a dream keeping the fog away and the sunshade is awesome, no more trying to make sunglasses work in my helmet. Build quality is amazing, shuts like the door of a Mercedes.

No regrets on this purchase.

I'm a 3XL. The Arai Signet was perfect for years. Then I had excellent comfort with the Shoei RF1000. The Nolan flip up was way too tight at forehead and jaw. Now the C3 has potential. The forehead area is still requiring adjustment -- maybe some fine sand paper will help. The jaw area is different with a flip up than a full face - but I think I can make it work. Yes, the HI VIZ is fantastic color. Yes, the visor provides excellent side views. So we shall see. Quality made no doubt.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Very happy with this helmet. The fit feels very secure and comfortable. I have a modular Shoei XL, and bought an XL C3 based on the sizing chart-the C3 is more comfortable and fits more snugly, especially the cheek pads. They don't apply excessive pressure for me as other reviewers have mentioned. All the bells and whistles mentioned in the video review are well thought-out, well-made, and most important are solidly functional. The ventilation is outstanding-the chin vent immediately dissipated any fog after putting the helmet on(have not yet installed the pinlock visor), and the top vent supplies a ton of air- much more airflow than the Shoei. It is very quiet, but the noise level depends alot on the height of my windscreen and whether the chin vent is open. But it's still far more quiet than my other helmets. The sun visor is very clear and works well-no more switching visors if I need a tinted visor. The ratchet chinstrap makes releasing the strap easy, even with my gloves, but the hard components pinched my neck when I looked down-no problem, just loosened it a little and we're good. Overall quite impressed by the engineering, performance, and thought that went into this helmet-couldn't be happier.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a great helmet in all respects except the sun visor. After about 6 months the visor started to milk over. Now after a year the visor is so milked that I cannot use it to see through. I can lower it a bit to block out high sun. On the good side, its quiet with lots of air flow.

No, I do not recommend this product.

The C3 is expensive so I spent time before deciding to make the purchase but I am very happy. I watched the videos and they were great. I normally wear a large but went for the XL as suggested and that was the right choice. The helmet is quiet and lightweight. The air flow is fantastic. The only negative is the side vision is a little compromised but overall it is just great.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This helmet is substantially quiter than than the hjc symax this
reviewer had been wearing. Earplugs are no longer required
for long distance comfort. The Shuberth moves well with the head with little buffeting. The visor tends not to stay open at
speed. This is likely a deliberat design feature since German
engineers are, well, German engineers. This can be improved
if desired with a pair of fifty cent O-rings inserted at visor mounts. Ventilation on this helmet actually works. If you can afford one buy on. Remember that the most expensive helmet
is a lot cheaper than brain surgery.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a very well made, very lightweight helmet. Everything about it says quality. But it should for the price. It is aerodynamically slippery, i.e., it exerts very little drag, lift or wind pressure when looking straight ahead or when head-checking to the left or right. It is smaller in exterior dimensions than most helmets which probably accounts, in part, for the lack of wind resistance you feel when wearing it. The flip-down sunvisor is terrific. The optical quality of the face shield and sun visor is top notch. Ventilation is superb --it really pulls air through the helmet with all vents open. While the helmet I bought is the correct size for me (the next size up is definitely too big), it is uncomfortably tight in the jaw area after an hour or so. I have only taken four rides with the helmet so far, and it is becoming more comfortable after a few hundred miles, so I am confident that the liner just needs an initial breaking-in period to conform to the face. The only feature I don't like is the large metal and plastic ratcheting strap closure which digs into my throat no matter how I try to adjust it. This is really uncomfortable and I don't think it will ever "break in." A simple, conventional, D-ring strap closure would have been better for me. I was surprised that the helmet is not as quiet as one would expect from the advertising. It is no quieter than the Shoei's I have had, and ear plugs are a necessity if you want to preserve your hearing.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Answer:

From the J&M Web page, J&M has an approved DOT installation they will provide for $75 plus the cost of their special headset/mic kit specifically for the C3. Apparently they do not sell the special headset kit separately. You send your C3 to them and they do the mounting. I asume it is still available.

Answer:

The Sena SMH-10 doesn't fit well with the Schuberth because of the slider bar that activates the drop down sunbar. If you attempt an install, you would need to use the double sided tape mount that comes with the Sena, however, the SRC system is the better fit for this helmet.

Answer:

Yes, I followed Gromit's suggestion and used the SMH10 helmet clamp kit for earbuds with attachable boom microphone and wired microphone, part # A0304. It's available thru Revzilla but they sell out quickly. Just attach the boomed mic behind the cheekpieces and pass it out from behind them as he suggested, connect to the base and you're good to go. As he mentioned, use the additional base with the adhesive backing they provide with the kit-mounts easily behind the slide for the sunvisor. You can buy earbuds almost anywhere.

Answer:

I fit my SMH-10 to the C3. RevZilla is right about the slider, it is right where you would put the base for the SMH-10. I used the alternate base, the one for earbuds and set it back on the helmet just rearward of the slider. I used the included double sided tape and moved the mic inside so it comes out behind the cheek pads. Works 100% Here's the base I use: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh-10-helmet-clamp-kit-earbuds-with-boom-and-wired-microphone

Sizing, and comparison to Shoei

ChrisB

I wear a Shoei X-11 size L, marked 59-60cm and it fits perfectly. Which size C3 will work best for me, and has anyone here switched from Shoei (that they liked) to a Schuberth C3? Thanks.

Additional info: I tried a HJC Sy-max size L and found it to be awful. It crushed my forehead while at the same time feeling loose everywhere else and it even rolled forward 3/4 the way off my head despite being strapped snugly.

Answer:

I used to use a Shoey.
The Schuberth in the same size became smaller, and much squeezing the sides of the head.
The chin was also difficult to fit.
I had to give up the Schubert envying people who do not have a 4XL head. By the way, after this I tried the Scorpion EVO 900 ant it is worst than Schuberth.
My wife tried a larger size but was a little loose. But most people I know use a larger size for the Schuberth.
The best way is to try it. Helmet is very personal. Go to the store, put on his head and keep it at least 10 minutes.
Ride safe and good luck!

Answer:

You're so close, I'd go XL. The 1/4" will break in easily after a little riding. The XXL would likely be loose. Most reviews of this helmet say it fits snug or tight. I'd describe it as more of a "tailored" fit. It's very precisely made. My head measured 24 1/8 and went with the XL...fits perfectly. At 24.25, you'll be fine.

It depends on your head shape, but go smaller the helmet will adjust. Tighter is better than looser. I have been wearing a Schuberth helmet for many years, own the C3 it is an outstanding helmet. No comparison. It has been in hot, cold, dry and torrential rains for hours, always comfortable and never fogs with the pin shield in place.

Schuberth C3 Helmet - Is it really good for BWM 2012 K1600GT?

Up 'n Comer

State: CA

Rider Type: Moto Enthusiast

Age: 55-64

Gender: male

Los Angeles

I'm looking to buy a couple of these helmets. Most reviews say that these helmets are awesome. In fact BMW recommends this as their preferred helmet.

But I am hearing feedback from owners on forums that this is the loudest helmet they have ever worn. Reading posts for hours I believe that the problem is the that the BMW has a fairing. This faring causes eddie currents to stream by the helmet and hit at angles causing extreme helmet noise. The proof was also interesting in that if on that same BMW you stood up on the front foot pegs while riding, the helmet now on straight in the air went nearly silent.

So my question is this?

What are my alternatives, or will all like helmets suffer the same fate on this bike.

Lastly, BMW makes their own helmet, also manufactured by Schumerth and sold as the "BMW System 6 Helmet". This is not for sale in America but can be ordered from England or Canada and shipped here.

I've got an awesome bike in the K1600 but I need a helmet that works. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Answer:

In general, on a full face helmet, noise can be partially controlled by the neck roll density of the helmet. This goes for engine and wind noise. Some helmets are doomed to be noisy, but others can be adjusted by pushing up or down on the chin bar. When you push up, the neck roll may compress more and make the helmet quieter.
Also, if you are going to do any lengthy highway riding, earplugs are a wise option. I recommend the foam type. 3M Classic (yellow) are comfortable and can be worn all day. Buy a 200 count box and you are set for a long, long time.

I have 2 of these helmets, and don't find it loud at all. Especially with the under-chin windscreen in place, it is one of the quietest helmets I've ever worn. I suspect those that are complaining have removed the under-chin screen, and thereby disabled the helmets quieting system. I'd disregard, and try it yourself.

Answer:

There's a piece that fits under your chin that is removed when you install the BMW communication system. With this gone, it is a little louder. Otherwise I don't find it excessively Loud and I have the communication system and have been able to refit the chin piece. So, problem solved. You can also reduce noise with the adjustable wind screen.

Answer:

I have owned a C1 Schuberth for years, upgraded to the C3 it is an outstanding helmet. Yes, windshield position can impact rider noise but it is not the helmet. Adjust the windshield to limit buffeting. Also most noise is from underneath the helmet at the collar. Make sure your clothing isn't the problem not the helmet.

I also own several other helmets Arai, HJC Symax and a couple other full face models. Those do not come close to being as quiet as the Schuberth. I just rode nearly 4K on a road trip with the Schuberth and noise was never a consideration with this helmet.

I have a 60-61 system 5 helmet, so would I be the same in the schuberth? I believe in the BMW I'd be a 61-62 in the flip-up, as they are a slightly tighter fit. And I can't try on a schuberth as we don't have them here.

Answer:

No, there are several differences, actually completely diffieredt designs but both made by Schuberth. The System 6 is a soft shell helmet. Not DOT3 certified and is not supposed to be used (also not sold) in the USA.

But they can be ordered from England or Canada and shipped to USA. But again, not street legal in USA.

FYI, soft does not mean bad, just that Europe has different thoughts as to which helmet shell type is safer.

Answer:

If you can try the System 6 will be fine.
The hull have the same size.
The shin section of BMW S6 is a little smaler than the C3.
