Schuberth C3

[DucHead]

I believe that superjeduc has one, but I couldn't find the thread.

This helmet and bluetooth system are amazing.  The helmet is very quiet (especially for a modular) making the audio clear at speeds greater than posted limits.  The shell size is small too -- smaller than some of my full-face (non-modular) helmets.  Weight is ~3.3 lbs.  There is a drop-down sun visor that falls all the way to the bridge of my nose.  The inner visor has a detent when in the up position that will hopefully keep it there (other helmets I have with inner visors eventually fail to remain all the way in the up position).

I don't like to make a habit of this, but my girlfriend called me yesterday while I was riding (the Monster) on the highway and all of the conversation was audible for both of us.  Music too is crystal clear.

The bluetooth system is by Cardo and comes with FM radio capability (6 stations can be stored).


IMO, there is no need for earplugs with this helmet!

Just got mine yesterday from revzilla.com (+$30 revzilla cash  ).  I went with Matte black and the helmet is AMAZING!  There is sticker shock, but you really get what you pay for.  The construction, inside, the lack of wind noise and yet being able to hear traffic, really amazing.  I will post some pics soon.

I'm also looking at the C3, and went through a bunch of the Revzilla videos. Then I got sidetracked onto the new Nolan 104 ... seems similar features at half the cost ($349 vs $699)

anyone had a chance to compare the two ?  Or had first hand experience of the Nolan 104 ?

Tsk, tsk. No comparo, but it has to fit you. Ladies can even get Pearl White. 

Still using a Concept until I hit the lottery. Have had Schuberth since BMW System I. A bit overpriced but there's a reason they cost. If they fit you, they flat work! (Lots of the Olympic bobsledders use the bike version too.)

Love the old saying from the Bell adverts of the '70's. "If you have a $10 head, get a $10 helmet".
