Some of you might have already seen it – we´re rebuilding our Global Website ! Since last week we continously publsih new and redesigned areas of our Website http://www.schuberth.com. We´re starting with the global website but will also rebuild our NorthAmerican Website soon, and you´ll be able to see more features, more content and interesting insights into the Schuberth company.

In the upcoming days we´d like to introduce some new Areas of the Website in-detail and today we start a mini-series on our Weblog with an Interview-Series about the SR1:

In den nächsten Tagen möchten wir eine kleine Serie über die neuen Bereiche unserer Website schreiben und starten heute mit der Interviewserie rund um den SR1:

At http://www.schuberth.com/en/motorcycle/sr1.html you can explore the SR1 in a 360-degree view:

But we also included presentations of the helmets development and features from aeroaccustics to aerodynamics – from ventilation to visor, brought to you by our engineering-team.

To access the Interviews simply click the blue hotspots on our helmet-model and you can see our Vice President, our Head of Design and our Head of Engineering talking about the ideas behind this Super-Sport helmet.

This weekend we vistited Filip Backlund at the IDM Race in Salzburg, Red Bull Ring. Filip is a very promising young driver from Sweden where he won the Swedish Superbike 2009 and now entered the IDM for several races. He did visit us earlier this year in Germany and had his helmet customized for him.

After finalizing the helmet with his personal design we took the helmet to Austria:

All the best to you Filip !

This year we prepared a new helmet for Fernando Alonso´s 30th Birthday on 29th of July.

As he´s a real Motorbike and Ducati-Fan (he´s driving a custom-made Desmosedici RR) we provided him with a custom-made Schuberth SR1 at the Race in Hungary.

Here are the pictures of the red SR1 and we hope some more pictures on the track will follow ! Congratulations to making 3rd in Budapest and Happy Birthday !

On Saturday 09/04/2011 3 teams of TFA Göttingen lined up at the Berlin Fire Fighter Stairrun. Of course, our world champions Joachim Posanz and Alexander Meyer, teamed up for the competition as partners.

In this contest you didn´t need any special equipment or extreme power. Endurance, speed and teamwork with a good partner are most important for this challenge.

From start on the Alexanderplatz to the finish line on the observation deck of the hotel a distance of approximately 300 meters running track and 39 floors (770 steps) had to be mastered. Our firefighters had to run in full gear with an attached face mask !

A strong will was required to get to the end and to the observation deck of the Park Inn Hotel in approximately 110 meters!

Visible relief and joy on the faces of Alexander Posanz Joachim Meyer, after the observation deck was reached. The way down was a little faster … They were roped down 110 meters at the outside of the hotel.

Of the competing teams 197 made it in the ranking. Joachim Posanz and Alexander Meyer reached this year the 1 place with an incredible time of 06:09,6 minutes, followed by a team from Poland, who arrived only 2 seconds later.

The next contest, the TFA European Championship takes place on 10./11. June 2011 in Mönchengladbach.
