| At an eye-watering $1299 plus comms, the Schuberth C4 Pro Carbon isn't for everyone. Having said that, there are lots of riders getting around in colourful fishin' lure leathers with race replica lids that set them back that or more. What it is, is a cracker of a hat and Aussie stocks will dry up very quickly in the next week or two. Two hundred grams didn't sound like much when I studied the specs as they came into my inbox. I almost dismissed it, to be perfectly honest. One of my best attributes is being wrong... Again. The difference is significant when you have the C4 Pro and Pro Carbon in different hands. Early minor gripes about the C4 are long past and this represents (in my humble) the pinnacle of best of the best in the modular helmet category. As luck would have it a Medium size one is sitting on my desk ready for me to kiss another good friend goodbye, my trusty Neotec 2. I've put a couple of thousand kays on the C4 Pro and rate it maybe just a gnats above the Neotec. Better summer airflow and peripheral vision pip it at the post. When the design geese work out that all helmet comms need earbud outlets they might have finally got it right. There are still a couple of things I'd like to shake the designers about. No 3.5 out jack for earbuds - Doh! Black on the crown. Sure it looks trick but after a few moments in the sun, it gets so much hotter than a white one. Here's some of the Schuberth blurb The comfort of a flip-up helmet combined with the lightweight of a carbon-fibre exterior: the C4 PRO CARBON brings SCHUBERTH racing technology from Formula 1 to the road. As the first carbon-fibre flip-up helmet with integrated communication technology, it’s the number one choice for big and small trips alike. Interior Thanks to the new acoustics with optimised neck cushion and noise reduction around the mechanical attachments, the C4 PRO CARBON achieves approx. 85 dB(A) at 100 km/h on a naked motorcycle Extremely comfortable to wear thanks to seamless head padding and integrated grooves for glasses Helmet fits safely and comfortably: the Coolmax® interior is Öko-Tex 100-certified, removable and washable Superior air circulation thanks to multi-channel ventilation Extra-large anti-fog insert lens Preventing fogging has never been so simple thanks to the Pinlock® anti-fog insert lens.

Optical class 1: visor (no distortion) with quick-change function Integrated sun visor, freely adjustable in seconds PINLOCK120® anti-fog insert lens comes as standard: the ultimate PINLOCK® anti-fog insert lenses for optimum performance Extra air Helmet shell developed in the wind tunnel for outstanding aerodynamics.
