Helmet review: Schuberth S2

Andy Downes, 30 July 2012 12:37

Schuberth S2, £499.99Miles covered/time: 2500/two months What’s good: I have ridden with Arai helmets for many years but this new Schuberth S2 is the best road lid I have ever used thanks to a brilliant combination of comfort, quality, quiet and ventilation. Through the wettest summer in history this lid has done some big road miles, been to the Isle ...

Arai Quantum

Andy Downes, 22 July 2011 14:56

Arai Quantum, £399 at www.mcnshop.comMiles covered/time: 15,000/one year What’s good: This Quantum lid replaced an older Arai Viper GT for one reason only; the Viper had basically worn out after years of riding and tens of thousands of miles. The comfort is top notch, the security of the shell is the same as the range-topping RX-7GP but does without the noise-generating ...

Arai Viper GT helmet, from £239 on www.mcnshop.com Miles covered/time: 40,000/three years What’s good? This is the lid I use every day but it’s about to be replaced because it has seen so many miles.

Product: Schuberth C3 flip-front helmet, £404.99 on MCN shop Tester: Andy Downes Miles covered/time: 8000/six months What’s good? I’d never used a flip-up lid before this Schuberth but opted to wear the C3 when I had to head out to KTM’s factory to pick-up a bike for an urgent MCN road test. I knew it was great in cold conditions, ...

Helmet review: RX-7 Corsair

Andy Downes, 28 May 2009 14:04

Time owned:14,000/18 monthsWhat’s good?The fact that my head is absolutely fine despite a 65mph highside on track which resulted in several hard impacts and a lot of sliding too. I loved this lid. The paintjob was done by the incredibly talented Rich Art was to my own design and I was gutted to see it smashed up. Have replaced it ...

Helmet review: Schuberth C3

Andy Downes, 01 April 2009 16:20

Best thing about it: I’d never used a flip-up lid before but this Schuberth has been a revelation – no heavier than a full-face lid, great pinlock visor, integrated black visor that slides up and down and a nice ratchet fastening system. It’s claimed to be the quietest, smallest and lightest flip-up on sale and was developed by Michael Schumacher ...
