Schuberth SR1 Helmet

Expected fall 2012

Currently available only in Europe, the Schuberth SR1 Helmet is a through and through racing helmet who's development was aided by the assistance of Michael Schumacher.

The ECE model helmet shell consists of S.T.R.O.N.G. fibre, a special glass fibre reinforced duroplastic matrix, and is produced in three helmet shell sizes.  If the helmet is offered in the US the specs may change, but the current European model offers the following:

High performance aerodynamics

The SR1 is a sport helmet which has been developed for optimum performance on the racetrack. Thanks to its advanced aerodynamics the helmet is at all times
stable in the wind and even at high speeds creates no upward lift.

• Aerodynamic shape
• Upward lift = None
• Directionally stable
• No oscillatory tendency
• No buffeting
• The D-Force spoiler enables the SR1 to be adjusted to the riding posture in such a manner that ideal behaviour of the helmet in the air flow is guaranteed at all times. 2 positions with different setting angles are available.

Aeroacoustics of the SR1

All SCHUBERTH motorcycle and racing helmets are developed and optimised under scientific conditions in the SCHUBERTH wind tunnel.
The reduced noise level assists the rider's concentration and attentiveness.

• Quiet helmet thanks to anti-noise technology
• Installation of a wind deflector enables the aeroacoustics and consequently the noise level to be improved still further.
• Only 88dB(A) at 100 km per hour (with closed machines)

Visor plate

Rated at Optical Class 1, the highest quality rating for optical standards, the visor sets standards in respect of optical quality. It is practically distortion-free throughout the entire field of vision. The special polycarbonate material has exceptional transparency, strength and toughness, as well as resistance against impact and fracture.

• practically distortion-free throughout the entire field of vision
• 3D visor on average 2.5 mm thick
• scratch resistance on the outside
• anti-fog coating on the inside

Visor mechanism

• Extremely quick replacement of the visor shield - push-release system.
• Push button system
• Simple and convenient handling
• Visor shield is installed and removed without tools

Ventilation at Formula 1 level

The Proactive Dynamic Ventilation System developed specially for the SR1 can be set as required using controls in the chin and head area. Depending on the riding posture and speed, the intensity of the ventilation can also be varied. A sporty riding posture permits
maximum fresh air supply.

• Visor vent to reduce the fogging tendency
• 2 head ventilation inputs (adjustable)
• 3-way chin vent for targeted distribution of the incoming air in the helmet

A.R.O.S = Anti-Roll-Off-System

The Anti-Roll-Off-System especially developed by SCHUBERTH is provided as a safety feature in every SCHUBERTH motorcyle hemet. It ensures that provided the chinstrap is closed and correctly adjusted:

• the hemet cannot pivot off the head from behind
• the risk of contact between the chin section of the helmet and the chin or neck of the rider is minimised due to small angle of tilt
• the consequences of the helmet coming into contact with the chest as the result of an accident are reduced.

Helmet details: Outer shell

• The outer shell of the SR1 is available in thre helmet sizes and combines an aerodynamically optimal shape suitable for racing with excellent protection.
• Material: S.T.R.O.N.G.-Fibre
• special glass-fibre reinforced Duroplast matrix
• use of new technology helps achieve low helmet weight
• unusually strong

Helmet details: Inner lining

• In addition to its excellent fit, the pad system of the SR1 also stands out on account of the complex ventilation system.
• COOLMAX® suspension, skin-friendly with very good warming properties, transports moisture
• Variable for effective ventilation
• Fully removable and washable
• Ergonomic design for maximum wear comfort
• Antiallergenic / antibacterial material

Helmet details: Fastener system

• race-proven Double D-fastener
• enables the length of the chin strap to be adjusted easily & precicely
