…that Schuberth uses it´s own testing facility ?

While already in development and pre-series our helmets are thoroughly tested in our own certified testing facility. In serial production we also pick control samples on a daily basis.

At the test lab we have 5 different test rigs to test for different certifications as ECE (Europe), DOT (USA), or SNEEL and FIA norm (racing). Part of the test programm is dropping the helmets on different shaped anvils from different heights. Besides the shock absorption capabilities all movable parts are tested for durability.

Not only our Motorcycle helmets are tested in our facility, but it also allows to test our other products such as Firefighter, Police and Work protection helmets. And one promise is the same no matter which helmet is tested: It´s not enough to meet the values from regulations and norms, we want to stay on top of them!

… the ventilation of Schuberth helmets can be adjusted to summer and winter positions?

Dear Schuberth friends,

in 2013 we´re going to post about interesting background information on Schuberth, our products and motorcycling in general on a regular basis.

According to the season, at least in central Europe, we`d like to start the new series “Did you know…?” with the winter option of our helmets. We know many of you are driving the motorcycle even during the winter season as long as the traffic conditions are good enough. And for this the ventilation of the Schuberth helmets C3 Pro, C3 and S2 can also be adjusted to suit the colder season.

Please take a look to the front part of the crown liner and you’ll discover fabric flaps behind the front section.

In the colder season you can reduce the volume of incoming cold air, or divert it, by covering the ventilation channels with the flaps of the crown liner.

By doing this little trick you can use the top ventilation even during the winter without having the cold air flow directly onto your head.

In addition to this we recommend wearing safety vest during the dark season for higher visibility. Have a safe trip!

Learn Tips for Pinlock Lens Installation and adjustment

Face Shield with Pinlock

Your Schuberth helmet came prepared for installation of the included Pinlock anti-fog lens. This is the best way to eliminate fog and maintain clear visibility as the temperatures drop.

The Pinlock Lens is a clear piece of plastic fit specifically for your Schuberth face shield that has a silicone bead around the edge on one side. It is held onto the face shield under pressure from the “pins” and then sealed with the silicone bead.

If you haven’t installed the Pinlock lens yet, remember that the the silicone seal is placed against the inside of the face shield.

If you experience any fogging in the area where the Pinlock lens sits, it is mostly likely out of position and creating a gap where moisture and fog can get in. Should this be the case, first try simply pushing the lens back into the proper sealed position with your thumb, then run your finger all the way around it to ensure it is sealed in all areas.

Finally, check the position of the adjustable pins to ensure proper tension on the lens.  This will ensure that the lens stays in the proper position, maintaining a good seal.

And one final very important tip!
Be sure to remove the (greenish) protective film before riding!
The Pinlock lens should be perfectly clear.

S2 customers have been eagerly awaiting the Schuberth Rider Communication System (SRC-System™), Schuberth’s in-helmet Bluetooth® communication system which is based on the Cardo Scala platform. The S2 full face is the world’s first motorcycle helmet with built-in FM and Bluetooth® antennas which plug directly into the  SRC-System and enhance the communication distance between paired helmets as well as the FM radio reception.

The SRC-System™ allows up to three riders to communicate wirelessly with each other simultaneously and supports Bluetooth®-enabled peripheral devices such as cell phones, GPS units and MP3 players. The most important functions can also be operated by voice commands. The system is integrated into a replacement neck collar that is a ‘snap’ to install and fits into the helmet perfectly.

The S2 SRC-System™ and S2 helmet are available now from authorized Schuberth dealers.
