Schuberth Concept Helmet.....

[jonnie comet]

As above now on sale in Infinity stores for £199.99. Tried one on and really liked it. Is this a good price to pay, or do you know better ?

Thanks.....

Not crap, but not perhaps the best. There's a picture on a recent thread showing the effects of bouncing one down the road with a head in it - the head survived...

I had one for a couple of years, paid £250ish new at Ally Pally. Bit noisy but never a problem with misting. I keep it as a spare now I replaced it with a System 5.

Note I have a 'normous head and these are the only two people who make helmets that fit...

Size

I've got a Concept and I've found it to be good, if a little quirky.
The lining of the helmet wil compress over time to conform to your head shape, so while my helmet was initially tight to the point of giving me a headache, it is now slightly loose and earplugs are needed.
The visor works well and can be opened vertically and at either side. I thought it very noisy when I first used it but then found that the visor needs to be closed firmly at the sides - sudden peace. Gently clean the inside of the visor as you can remove the anti-fog coating. Open the visor slightly when in town or moving slowly - the C2 has an improved air flow inside the helmet but this is recommended. I have had my visor seal such that I required some effort to open it. Try opening it one side first to break the seal.

If "crap helmets" has made you nervous theres a thread here that may help.
