Schuberth C3 World Gloss White

Price: £529.99

The Schuberth C3 flip-up helmet is the world's first flip front race helmet and the worlds smallest, lightest, quietest flip front helmet. Never before has a helmet been smaller and more compact than the premium flip-up helmet from schuberth. Through its successful synthesis of sportiness and comfort in conjunction with a market-leading noise level of 84 dB(A) at 100 km/h, it sets new standards.

The integrated sun visor guarantees better vision under difficult light conditions. The Pinlock visor, included as standard, is very easy to use and prevents condensation thanks to the double lense.

Developed and used by legendary Seven Times Formula One world champion turned bike racer Michael Schumacher

The Schuberth C3 is the first ever flip front lid to be developed and used by Michael Schumacher. Schumacher reckons that in the 30-40 minutes before a race when everyone else is getting hotter and increasingly uncomfortable in their full-face, he can be as cool as a cucumber in a flip-front. In F1 a tenth of a second is a huge advantage - and that's what he thinks he might get into the first corner by feeling fresher than the rest.

The Schuberth C3 is smaller, lighter and quieter than the C2 model with an amazing 84dB @60mph, for the first time a flip front helmet has now reached racing specification and will become the benchmark that others will follow.
