NEW: The C3 PRO & C3 PRO WOMEN

The First High Speed Flip-Up Helmet with Internal Antenna

Schuberth C3 PROAerodynamics – Rear spoiler adds 8% additional downforce for greater stability at higher speeds

Aeroacoustics – Reduced noise measured at 82 dba – Schuberth’s quietest flip-up helmet ever

Ventilation – New vent scoop increases airflow to over 8 liters per second

Comfort – New plush liner materials enhance comfort and fit

Communications – Internal dual band antenna improves SRCS wireless connectivity

Light, quiet, compact – these features have characterized the Schuberth C3 flip-up helmet for years. Now Schuberth is presenting a completely updated premium partner to the base model C3 – the C3 PRO. The C3 PRO features a molded rear spoiler developed in the Schuberth wind tunnel for minimizing buffeting at higher speed riding. The internal antenna and Bluetooth® receiver enhance the communication range up to 700 meters and FM radio reception for the Schuberth Rider Communication System. The refined inner lining offers a plush, comfortable fit. The new vent scoop boosts airflow through the helmet to over 8 liters of air per second at 100 km/h. With a wind tunnel tested sound rating of just 82 dB(A), the C3 PRO is the quietest Schuberth helmet ever. The C3 PRO (and female fit C3 PRO WOMEN) flip-up helmet features over 20 additional enhancements and will be available this spring.

C3 PRO WOMEN
Based on additional research, the C3 PRO WOMEN is specially fitted for a woman’s facial structure, featuring a special contour and materials in the cheek pads to better fit a woman’s higher cheek bones,  narrower jaw and smaller facial features.

Schuberth Rider Communication System for the C3 PRO
The easy-to-install, fully integrated Schuberth Rider Communication System (SRCS C3 PRO) plugs into the C3 PRO’s internal antenna for improved FM radio reception and pairing distance of up to 700 meters.

(Note: The SRCS C3 will fit into the C3 PRO and will function normally, but since it does not plug into the helmet’s antenna, it will not offer the improved reception that can be expected from the new SRCS C3 PRO.  The SRCS C3 PRO does not offer backward compatibility to the C3.  While it will physically fit, there is no internal antenna, so Bluetooth connectivity and radio reception are not possible.)

The C3 won yet another test, category “flip-up”. With the best possible rate we won the challenge of 14 flip-up-helmets by Europes biggest Motorcycle-Magazine “Motorrad” and earned the “Testsieger”!

On the “Plus-side” the testers mentioned the comfort, aerodynamic, aero-accustic, ventilation and weight.

La Gendarmerie en C3

I just came from our production line to see some unusual C3 decals coming off. Schuberth is proud to announce the delivery of C3 helmets to the Gendarmerie nationale. They have 6.000 bikes in France controlling the streets – and soon they also will drive the finest helmet in a very nice blue color:

Over 150 happy C2, Concept and S1 owners had their helmets refreshed with new faceshields, visors, liners and other parts by the Schuberth Service Technician. Rally participants also got the opportunity to see and try on samples of the up-coming DOT version of the popular C3 which will be available in North American dealers this fall.

On Thursday, Fernando Alonso celebrated his 29th Birthday at the Hungaroring in Budapest. Our Schuberth Racing Service gave a small gift to the Spanish Formula 1 World Champion.  My colleague Sven handed the gift to Fernando Alonso on Thursday morning in his Ferrari motorhome. The new Schuberth C3 flip-up helmet in original Formula 1 Design was painted by Uffe. The Finnish helmet designer gave him the painted design on the C3 as a present.

Our Spanish driver was so pleased that he wanted to try the helmet even in the first practice session on Friday. And on his Ducati. It looks like we have made somebody happy. Here are the photos of the helmet:

Last but not least we have to say:

Happy Birthday from all of us, Fernando!
