NOW D.O.T. APPROVED!!!

The Scuberth C3 Helmet is the smallest, lightest & quietest Flip-Front in the World is set to become Schuberth's flagship Race helmet. 3cm shorter and 1cm narrower than the C2, 160g lighter than the C2 and 2.5dB quiter than the C2.

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

The Schuberth C3 is set to take motorcycle helmets to a new level by being the first ever flip front lid to be developed and used by Michael Schumacher in his debut into motorcycle racing.  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.
