The world's first flip-front race helmetThis helmet has clearly been designed with the motorcyclist in mind and is one of the best helmets we have ever tested, although the price tag of £429.99 - £499.99 does reflect this. Suitable for tourers, racers and the occassionly sunday rider.

The ultimate Flip Front helmet for sports tourers

Features - Pinlock fitted as standard, Quick release locking visor, Integrated sun visor, Quickly removable lining, Anti-roll-off safety feature, Visor with 100% Grade A optics, Designed in a wind tunnel for high speed aerodynamic stability, Innovative multi-ventilation developed in a wind tunnel actively uses areas of low and high pressure to create real cooling benefits without creating noise, 84dB at 60mph.

The Schuberth C3 was developed with the help of Michael Schumacher and weighs in at only 1550g, fully lined!

We tested the helmet on a windy Autumn day and were very impressed with its neat features and comfort. Even with your gloves on the visor can be operated easily and even locks into place for maximum noise reduction, the visor has a lip on both sides for left and right-handed motorcyclists. To ensure you stay on the right side of the law, it also has a retractable sun visor, easily operated using the slide button on the helmet, which is also glove-friendly. The front air-vent is also easily operated and simply requires a finger press to turn on and off. Perforated top vent and visor turbulators to aid noise reduction.

The quick-release buckle is also built for ease of use. The visor also has a quick release mechanism, probably the easist to use we have seen.

This helmet has clearly been designed with the motorcyclist in mind and is one of the best helmets we have ever tested, although the price tag of £429.99 - £499.99 does reflect this. Suitable for tourers, racers and the occassionly sunday rider. This helmet is VERY versatile, easy to use and comes highly recommended by MSE.

Available in Graphic black, metallic silver, metallic anthracite, white, deep black and matt black. Sizes XS-XXXL.
