Lightweight, Safe, Comfortable, Technologically-Advanced, Customizable
Nestled in the hands of meticulous experts at SCHUBERTH PERFORMANCE, the SCHUBERTH C5 Carbon emerges, not just as a mere motorcycle helmet, but rather a symphony of unparalleled safety and refined craftsmanship reminiscent of the highest echelons of motorsport safety gear. Each unit, carefully shaped and coaxed into existence by dedicated technicians responsible for crafting the protective crowns of Formula 1 champions, is a testament to their steadfast commitment to quality and precision.
In a world where speed is revered, weight becomes the adversary. With the C5 Carbon, weight is meticulously shaved off, clocking in at a mere 1,460 grams, without relinquishing an ounce of its steadfast integrity and robust performance. It's a dance of delicate balance, akin to crafting a masterpiece where each brushstroke, or in this case, each layer of carbon, is laid with intentional precision, weaving a tapestry of strength and feather-light grace.
And grace it does have, with its seamless integration of advanced technology and user-centric features. The embedded communication system, a hallmark of intelligence and connectivity in the roaring silence of the ride, comes pre-wired, ready to bridge the rider to a limitless expanse of communication networks through Mesh 2.0 technology. With the whispers and roars of the journey, the helmet cradles your auditory senses with HD speakers, carefully positioned to bring clarity amidst the symphony of the road and wind.
Comfort, the silent companion of the long-distance rider, is not an afterthought but rather an integral element woven into the fabric of the C5 Carbon. With a commitment to embracing every contour of the wearer’s head, the SCHUBERTH INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM steps forth, offering riders the gift of customization, allowing the internal padding to be adjusted for those who find themselves often caught between the standardized sizes and shapes.
Safety, the North Star of SCHUBERTH, shines brightly with the C5 Carbon helmet, meeting and respecting the stringent ECE-R 22.06 standards. The shell of the helmet, a monolithic piece of carbon fiber and resin, born out of a meticulous four-hour autoclave cycle, stands as a silent guardian, offering formidable strength while maintaining its ethereal lightweight characteristic. This creation process is an art in itself, with technicians transforming raw materials into a cohesive masterpiece through pressure, temperature, and time — a ballet of elements and craftsmanship coming together in harmony.
But what is safety without the whisperings of comfort and silence? The C5 Carbon doesn't just protect; it caresses, with a new advanced chin strap positioning that offers comfort, wrapping around the throat area like a gentle embrace. The journey is often long and filled with the murmurs of the road and the symphony of the wind. Yet, within the confines of the C5 Carbon, the ride is a serene experience, with its industry-leading aeroacoustics comfort providing a quiet space, allowing the rider to be enveloped in the sound of silence at 85 dB(A) at a steady clip of 100 km/h.
In the dance of the ride, where speed and safety twirl around the asphalt stage, the SCHUBERTH C5 Carbon stands not just as a helmet, but as a testament to the art and science of protection, comfort, and silent strength. Each helmet, with its Carbon visor equipped with a memory function, not only remembers its set position but also embodies the memory of careful craftsmanship and dedication infused during its creation. With each ride, may you not just wear a helmet, but carry a masterpiece of safety and comfort with the SCHUBERTH C5 Carbon. And in this dance with the road, may you always be cradled in silent strength and serene comfort.
