Openable helmet tests

Scan from Motorrad magazine:

It's in german, but you'll get the idea from the points - noise (lärm), fiz (strongness), komfort, price/quality etc.

Dunno why BMW System 5 doesn't shine there except noise reduction? Schuberth C2 seems better option.

Margus, did you link to the right page? It's in English and only covers the BMW SportIntegral.

FWIW, my thoughts on System Five vs System Four: http://gsclubuk.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1551

Tim,

corrected the link.

And good to see the S5 isn't bad from your point of view as user, heard few others here saying the best helmet ever owned.

Can S5 be converted into enduro-helmet as S4 was able?

Thanks, Margus

Ive an HJC Syncrotech flip front which is great, bit worried they only gave it 2 stars for protection (schutz)

Margus - from the MBW site info on S5:

The helmet's can be easily handled with one hand and is readily convertible into a Jet helmet.

I have a Justissimo and I am very pleased with it.

Reading the article it looks like the Lazer is worth considering especially as it is significantly cheaper than both the BMW and the Schuberth.

In my February crash,I landed on the chin part of my Lazer Revolution and it stayed locked closed.
Also,despite there being enough force to put a red mark in the shape of the padding on my temple,I suffered no injury to skull or neck.

You can't add the enduro peak (which I found useless anyway on the S4), but as Ken says, yes to Jet Helm (lose the chin guard).
