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.

The “Grande Finale” of this year’s FIM Endurance World Championship – the 24-hour endurance race at the legendary Le Mans racetrack – places huge demands not only on man and machine, but also on the rider’s main piece of protective gear, his helmet!

This year the world title in the Superstock class went to the Penz13 Kraftwerk team of Rico Penzkofer with SR1 riders Arie Vos and Pedro Vallcaneras.

While the motorbikes were being put through their paces, the SR1 was going through an endurance test of its own.

Arie Vos: “Over such long race distances, it is absolutely essential that the helmet’s inner lining functions perfectly. The SR1’s lining guarantees a cool head, whatever the conditions. I hardly ever had the feeling that my head was sweating.”

An excellent second place on the podium went to Michael Bartholemy’s team, BMW Motorrad France, with featured rider Erwan Nigon. After a nerve-tingling race, the team finished second in the overall classification.

Erwan Nigon: “A 24-hour race places huge demands on the body, and especially on the neck muscles, which get strained by the wind pressure. The fantastic performance characteristics of the SR1 allow the helmet to remain stable in the wind, which takes the pressure off your neck. The ventilation also helped me to keep a cool head at all times.”

Next weekend Erwan Nigon will be at the Hockenheimring fighting for the IDM Superbike title. Once again he will be out to showcase his extraordinary talent and will be hoping to repay all the hard work put in by the Alpha Technik Van Zon BMW team of Werner Daemen by winning the title. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for you, Erwan!

This weekend at Spa-Francorchamps Michael Schumacher will compete for the 300th time in a Grand Prix.
We want to remark this remarkable achievement with an extraordinary gift. That’s why Michael will start this weekend with a real platinum helmet.

Our helmet-designer and airbrush-artist Jens Munser, who almost creates all of our individual motorsport-helmet-designs, has plated the whole helmet with a razor-thin layer of platinum.

For laying bare the design-elements he needs a very steady hand and a focused vision.
He needs about 15 working hours for the complex design.

The usual Schumacher-design was not changed. The seven stars, representing the seven world championship titles and the Chinese fortune dragon appear this time in red on the platinum helmet.

Even our racing-engineer Sven Krieter thinks the platinum helmet is a great highlight.
He supports Michael Schumacher in all helmet issues at every single race.
After the assembly of the helmet – by the way with a red inner lining – it’s going straight to the racetrack.

Hint: 1:1-original Replica-helmet (from today) und 1:2-Model (from 7th.septembre) of the platinum helmets are available at our online-shop.

Schuberth recently unveiled the carbon-fiber SF1 auto racing helmet in North American and is taking orders and doing custom fitments for qualified drivers.  The SF1 features the same safety, comfort and protection worn and proven over the past decade by Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, Nick Heidfeld, IndyCar driver Townsend Bell and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.

“When Schuberth came to North America, drivers such as Townsend Bell started to research and inquire about our helmets based on recommendations from experts in head injury science,” reports Randy Northrup, Schuberth North America’s Vice President. “Globally our helmets are recognized as the best available and other top drivers have recently contacted us, including Charlie Kimball and Danica Patrick.”

The 16-layer Toray 1000 Carbon Fiber Schuberth SF1 comes with a simple self-extinguishing paint that is suitable for custom graphics and painting and is fully lined with flame-resistant Nomex®fabric. The SF1 exceeds the stringent FIA 8860-2004 and Snell SA/2005 safety requirements, has a dual-position locking face shield, and is adaptable to open wheel or closed cockpit ventilation.

Schuberth recently partnered with Townsend Bell, Inc. to represent Schuberth in the auto racing marketplace, naming Chad Liberto as the field rep for the SF1. Liberto has over a decade of experience as the technical liaison to professional race car drivers in North America, and has worked at the forefront of developing safer, more comfortable technical racing gear. “The arrival of Schuberth’s SF1 technology in the North American racing market will forever change the way drivers look at their head protection. This is an exciting opportunity for race car drivers on this side of the pond to see, touch, and feel the technology Schuberth puts into their auto racing helmets,” he says.
