Schuberth S2 Helmet Review at RevZilla.com

[@RevZilla]

It sure does. I actually just personally tested it and can confirm that the 2 shields are interchangeable. ~Ali

[@RevZilla]

Are you asking for a comparison between the two? They are really quite different from each other. The SR1 is Schuberth's top of the line racing helmet, whereas the S2 is a full-face touring helmet akin to the C3 or C3 Pro. -CK

[@RevZilla]

Lokalna D. The S2 is designed for upright riding, and it is a pretty quiet helmet, so as long as the helmet is an appropriate, snug fit, it shouldn't whistle. It will be quietest with vents closed. -DrewZilla

[@szatanica1]

Thanks for the answer. Funny thing is it stoped doing that when I leaned forward and took the position like on a sport bike. I guess it could have been caused by number of things like my height, my shield, position, or even the helmet itself as I heard the opinions that some people do experience this problem but not on all of the gt airs..Shame I dont have it for longer test..

[@szatanica1]

Thats weird..i was commenting on Shoei Gt Air...how come my comment ended up under Shuberth??...

[@RevZilla]

So, are we talking km/h or mph? I would say either would be fine at 150km/h and unless you are dead set on a modular, I would give the S2 my top pick. If you are talking mph, then stick with the SR1 and a tinted visor. I would also give Schuberth the edge over quality bluetooth systems. They use Cardo for their SRC systems that have great sound quality. ~Ali

[@RevZilla]

I'd encourage you to reconsider at those kinds of speeds. The last thing you want is a gap in your protection where the sunvisor lives inside the helmet. The SR1 seems like the better choice for your riding style -CK

[@XBONESNY]

Hey Anthony, I bought this helmet from you all at RevZilla, and it has not left my head since I received it, With the exception of sleep and non-motorcycle activities. It is by far the lightest, quietest(except the C3) most comfortable, most functional helmet I have ever owned....great graphics to boot!! I highly recommend this for riding on a GS or any bike in the upright riding position.

[@RevZilla]

This helmet is designed for the touring rider who wants the features of a modular in a full face helmet. Some other options for touring helmets with internal sun visors are the new Shoei GT Air and the Shark Vision-R. ~Ali

[@SolarMichael]

I considered the SR1 as well, but it lacks two things: built-in sun visor (awesome - use it all the time) and the possibility to put in the Schuberth SRC bluetooth collar.

[@RevZilla]

We do not sell Sparco helmets and are not familiar with the Sparco WTX-7 Air helmet, so it would be unfair to offer an opinion between those two helmets. Is there anyone out there who is currently riding with a Sparco helmet that can help address this question? ~Ali

[@YuvalGurArie]

You can see that the quality of the helmet. The explanation given in the film enables you to make clear and accurate resolution of the helmet.

[@MegaLatexxx]

I have this helmet, bought it a few years back. In total I have 4 helmets this being the most expensive one and I use this one the least. The build quality is ok, except the lining on the forehead that's kept together with double adhesive tape and it keeps popping off all the time. For a 500 $ helmet you'd expect the lining to stay in place. Overall, I wouldn't buy another high end helmet from Schubert. I'll stick to the AGV middle of the pack. Decent prices, decent build quality and better looks imo. Also, I have a big melon and this helmet is HUGE in the L size. The elongated chin guard hits the tank sometimes if you want to ride a bit more aggressive. In case anyone is looking at one of these on craiglists or something, I'd stay away.

[@mofoninja1]

I've been using the S2 for about 2 weeks now and it seriously is the best helmet I've ever owned. The level of wind noise is eerily reduced; like a helmet version of a sound booth. The comfort is top notch and love the level of detail of the helmet. No leaks whilst riding in torrential rain. Zero. Cons: Even with venting open, the drop-down visor fogs quickly in the cold while in slow traffic or stopped. Solved easily enough by retracting it but is a slight nuisance if it's bright out.

[@Nick-tt2zi]

Just bought an S2, and all I have to say is WOW! Yes, this is a pricey helmet, but I'm impressed nonetheless. The fit is great for my head (mix of round/long oval). The sunshade is something I've grown accustomed to on my Scorpion EXO-1000, and this shield is better with more coverage area. Although it hasn't been hot enough to need ventilation, this thing FLOWS air! Seriously, it feels like it has a compressed air hookup. The attention to detail is excellent. Thanks for the review, guys!

[@TcLAglo]

It´s a bit funny. In Germany the S2 is brand new on the market like in the USA, but the SR1 was released in Winter 2011. I think the SR1 is more for everyone, not like the S1Pro (in Germany we say, that you need the typical Schuberth Head). It is an Intermediate Oval shaped helmet and in my opinion it fells a bit like a Shoei XR1100 (RF-1100 in the USA i think).

[@RevZilla]

Compared to the C3 or the new C3 Pro, it's not as quiet, but it is still a very quiet helmet. Personally, I do not rate quiet as #1, since I always ride with earplugs and make sure any helmet I wear meets the highest safety standards. I think for a relatively small amount more, the SR-1 is a better helmet. ~Ali

[@AndiOliverI]

No, I thought it will not be needed at first. But with the start of 2013 season I am planning to do exactly that. Of course, first I'll try to replace them with some in-ear headset to combine utility with pleasure, if that fails also, I'll go with plain and simple earplugs.

[@RevZilla]

No doubt, the Schuberth S2 is a bigger investment. Happy to hear you are digging yours. ~Ali

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

"The S2 can be worn in any position!" Except back to front, because then you can't see...

[@RevZilla]

Southern Fried True Story! -DrewZilla

[@edwardpatino608]

+RevZilla Well technically you can wear it in any position, it just won't be usable backwards lol

[@RevZilla]

Thank you for the feedback! ~Ali

[@RevZilla]

Have you seen our new set and intro?

[@RevZilla]

As soon as we can get our hands on it!

[@ir0n2541]

Walked into a store in London to buy a helmet with a budget of 200 pounds, walked out of the store with a 500 pounds Schuberth S2 Silver with a black line along the middle :D... such a great technical helmet for touring i couldn't resist!

[@RevZilla]

As a helmet and a brand, certainly! For you, I'm not sure :-). What kind of riding do you do? What kind of bike do you ride? -CK

[@SolarMichael]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm from Europe, but I did mean 150+ mph :) Thanks for your input on the SRC system. It's gonna be used for bluetooth stereo audio (music) 99% of the time, but it's definitely Schuberth, if it has better audio quality. It'll probably be the S2. I realize that the SR1 is probably a better helmet close close to 200 mph, but I'm simply in love with the built-in visor in my current (although cheap) helmet. Not having to change visor for night/shade/cloudy is awesome.

[@TimZ46]

I ride a Kawasaki Z1000 so it should be a good helmet for the 3/4 riding position. But I am wondering if the SR1 would be bad or still pretty good for 3/4. Or could you perhaps name a few other high end helmets that suit 3/4 riding position? Love your video's, it's like a motorcycle bible to me!

[@SolarMichael]

Outstanding review! Your reviews are really in a class of their own. I'm looking at Nolan and Schuberth helmets because of the OEM bluetooth sound systems. Which is the better helmet at 150+ speeds? I definately want an integrated sun visor, so the SR1 isn't it. Nolan N104? Schuberth S2? Schuberth C3? Thanks in advance.

[@mofoninja1]

Also, was told with continued use, the mild panic induced helmet donning/removal will subside as it breaks in. I'll report in later.

[@nikverschuren377]

Best revzilla employee's. Very nice review thanks! My question is hows the airflow comparison between the c3 and s2. Im doubting between these 2. Im a "good weather" driver, so for me airflow is very important, i like my head to be cool. Which u reckon is better? I never fitted the s2 before, the c3 fitted me really well. Thanks in advance, Nik.

[@ManishKumar-lq8vq]

Anthony, I've seen Over 25 of Ur Videos, Repeatedly !!! Hands Down U r The BEST Presenter, when it comes to Anything Motorcycle Accesories related. Thanks for a FANTASTIC Review (as Always) - GOD Bless U !!!

[@RevZilla]

Manish Kumar Thank you thank you thank you thank you! -Hi-Viz Brian

[@Pytte]

I had same problem with S1 it was really tight, but breaks in nicely.

[@MonstUrrwin]

I don't get it... We have the SR1 in our store for months. We only recently got the S2. What's your opinnion on the rubber material on the neckroll?

[@Dossy600]

When will the review of the Schuberth SR1 be done?

[@barrythomson8770]

Should have read your review before buying the S2, after 12+ years ,i bought it to replace an S1. It's way noisier ,the old helmet is still quiet ,even after all these years.

[@mofoninja1]

Thanks Ali! Never considered conjuring my inner mythical creature but now I won't need to. The helmet has loosened up so donning and removal is much improved. It still tries to keep your face so look away from your significant other when removing. The facial distortion isn't sexy.

[@lamniai]

Does the C3 visor really fit on the S2? In the store they said it didn't..

[@frederickbailey7786]

Miss this guy

[@magaforce-one]

Which would you choose between the Schubert S2 and Sparco WTX-7 AIR ?

[@reichalex]

Great review, and really happy with my Schubert S2 helmet!

[@speedyboolooks]

Great presentation! I'm right on the edge of purchasing the s2. Just one question - are there cut out in the shell to allow the fitting of my aftermarket Bluetooth/intercoms? Thanks!

[@RevZilla]

speedyboolooks Yes, there is space to mount Bluetooth communicator speakers. -DrewZilla

[@speedyboolooks]

+RevZilla thanks for getting back to me!

[@FryChicken]

At 10:00, what on earth is meant by the different positions? Tuck, 3/4, up and down????? I've never heard of this before

[@RevZilla]

Those are the industry/common terms for the riding positions different bikes offer. i.e the Full Tuck is a racer with their chin on the tank. Check out our Motorcycle Types video to see the angles and hear about each. Ride safe, Pat kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZiUg5KCeZWsr7s

[@FryChicken]

@@RevZilla Thanks Pat! I really appreciate it!

[@RevZilla]

Thank you for the great (and entertaining) review. Love the Alien ref. Maybe your monkey power is too strong for the helmet. Next time, we suggest Capybara strength. ~Ali

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Other than not looking as good with the graphics, what are the pros and cons between this and the GT Veloce? Does that visor effect safety? I noticed the C3 Pro had a safety rating of 3/5 stars where the GT Veloce was 5/5. Nothing really jumps out at me about modular that I have to have so I would prefer a better helmet and losing the flip up. Thanks for the link here Drew

[@RevZilla]

Both are DOT- and ECE-rated, though the AGV doesn't necessarily have ECE labeling on the US helmets. They both also weigh about the same. The Schuberth is much quieter and has the convenient internal sun visor (doesn't really affect safety), while the AGV has a slightly larger field of vision and flashier graphics. -DrewZilla

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Ooh tough choice... If you're wearing earplugs does it make a difference either way on the noise? If the field of vision is wider vertically I'd have to tip to the AGV with the GTX graphic.

[@RevZilla]

The S2 is still quieter than the GT Veloce even with earplugs, but you'd be fine with the GT Veloce and earplugs if you do want the slightly taller vertical field of vision. -DrewZilla

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Ah, vertical field of view is a big plus for me. I like to take in as much nature as I can :) The GTX graphic is excellent too. My thought was if the S2 is 84 Db and the GT is say 88... if the earplugs reduce conservatively 20db... we're talking 64 vs 68 db. That's not much when you're down that low. The S2 sun shade is a nice thing but it's not that hard to change visors for day and night - it doesn't beat the look and VFoV gain.

[@miledragisic]

I got my S2 about a week ago. It definitely did not come with this nice strap, but the with the strap most helmets have/the button.

[@miledragisic]

Also the neckroll is different. It doesn have a little curtain he is talking about. Maybe you get a different neckroll when you order SRCs System. On mine the chin part of the neckroll is a small piece that can be attached or unattached.

[@RevZilla]

This video is for the older S2, not the current S2 Sport. The current S2 Sport has a double D-ring closure. -DrewZilla

[@WarfareTartaros]

Do you use earplugs?

[@ToddHendry]

Shoei RF-1200s fit my head perfectly. Would I be correct in assuming that the S2 would be too short front to back for my head?

[@RevZilla]

+ToddHendry Yes, the S2 would probably be too round for you. There's a good chance it would give you forehead pressure. -DrewZilla

[@ghallab1980]

hey, can you tell us which shop it was!!Ta

[@TechViewOpinions]

Great demo of a top end helmet. Waiting until the kids graduate college price range though.

[@deandre21782]

i really like this one but i want the the new one when it comes out

[@Zockerlade]

Hey 1 Question Schuberth sr1 or s2 ?

[@TeamTalay]

Can you compare this to Shoei X12

[@RevZilla]

Score!

[@robinofleiceste]

Is it possible to fit a generic bluetooth system with speakers in this helmet? Or does it have to be a super expensive set?

[@RevZilla]

Yes, you can fit most universal Bluetooth communicators in this helmet using most communicators' adhesive or clamp mounts. -DrewZilla

[@szatanica1]

Will it whistle in a naked bike position? Im on Mt07 and Shoei gt Air was blowing like a wind through hunted house..Any experience?

[@szatanica1]

I've tried those...S is too small and M too big :P

[@janolewilhelmsen]

Hey. I bought a S2 this summer, and Im having A LOT of windnoise from the neck area. Seems like the neckroll in your video is a lot thicker than mine. Any idea if they changed the design? If so, where can I get a hold of the older thicker neckroll? If I can't fix this, I need a new helmet. Over 70 mph the windnoise is just too much, even with earplugs. But I can get rid of most of it if I hold my hand under my chin, so Im sure a thicker neckroll would fix it...

[@RevZilla]

I can't speak to any changes in the neck roll design. That is simply not something I have heard of. I would recommend either creating a DIY chin curtain, or contacting Schuberth for warranty assistance. They stand by their products. We can get you their contact information if you email us at [e-mail] -TeamZilla Chris

[@antielectrons]

Anthony you are a superb salesman. Congrats.

[@MarkZeds]

Can you tell me which communication devices will fit the S2? I don't want the scala collar model because I'll never get my head into the helmet. But 95% of my friends have Scala's. Can I use the Scalarider G9x with the sticky pad? Tks and great video by the way.

[@RevZilla]

+MarkZeds Yes, you can absolutely use the Cardo G9x and PackTalk on the S2. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cardo-scala-rider-g9x-headset *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cardo-packtalk-headset

[@MarkZeds]

+RevZilla Do you know of a video showing the procedure? Thanks

[@MarkZeds]

+RevZilla Well I have looked at the adaptors included in package and they will not work. Looks like I have to attach it directly to the helmet with VHB tape. But if I do that I will not be able to plug/unplug headphone and aux connectors. Would you know of the correct procedure to install the G9x onto the Schuberth S2? Tks in advance

[@RevZilla]

+MarkZeds We recommend using the clamp mount and mounting just aft of the sun visor lever. Be sure to mount the hybrid boom microphone inside the helmet behind the left cheek pad. You should still have access to the headphone and aux connectors. -DrewZilla

[@RevZilla]

The best. ~Ali

[@z312jp9]

Hi, I have few questions if you guys don't mind.. Hope I get some reply and help... I'm about buy a new bike! Going from cbr1000rr repsol to bmw s1000rr. Now thinking of getting new helmet from you guys, but since I'm in Japan now, I need to make sure before I grab one. Now I have kbc vr2 repsol helmet, and thinking of getting schuberth s2 or bell star carbon dunlop. Which do you recommend? Or do you recommend something else? Price don't matter just the fit and the quality that matters to me on the helmet. I also would like to have Bluetooth comm system. I ride fast some and usually on street and touring. Sorry for being long. Thanks in advance!

[@RevZilla]

z312jp The Bell has a narrow oval head shape, so it's probably too narrow if you fit the KBC well. You're probably better in the Schuberth S2, which has a more round oval head shape. -DrewZilla

[@egknot]

comparing a schuberth s2 vs arai rx-q which one would you recommend?

[@RevZilla]

egknot I've listed two in-depth reviews below. Let me know what you think. -Hi-Viz Brian * RX-Q - www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/arai-rx-q/ * S2 - www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/schuberth-s2/review.htm

[@rontobisch9765]

Hi, is it possible to show how to change the slide down sun visor, cheers

[@RevZilla]

We don't have a video showing the procedure, but it's pretty straightforward. With the sun visor in the lowered/exposed position, you'll notice plastic tabs on the left and right sides of the sun visor. Using your thumb, you lift the tab away slightly from the sun visor until you can slide the visor out. You repeat the same process for the other side of the visor. To install the new sun visor, you just click the sides of the visor back into the tabbed slots. -DrewZilla

[@deni92]

could you guys please compare the schuberth s2 and the shoei GT-AIR ? that would be great guys!!

[@KongoBongoMongo]

Dont buy the S2 if you are after a quiet helmet. Tried it on my FZ1 and my friends KTM 990SM and its really noisy on both bikes. I returned my S2 and got a SR1 instead. Way better helmet in almost every way....and way more quiet

[@Zockerlade]

Thank You

[@subtilobserver]

i have a Schubert S2 and it is the worst helmet that i ever had! I ride a MT09 Tracer and the wind turbulence is unbearable! I dont know if the problem is motorcycle style...

[@katyg3873]

subtilobserver PT it's the windscreen on the tracer. Change it for either a really short one or a massive barn door style one. Shorter is better imo. I have the mra one. No buffeting.

[@hake23]

yo quiero comprar este casco

[@iBOOM]

I do have an S1 Pro, which is total crap. It is way to heavy and the price is does not equal in high quality. Payed in 2010 520€. The S2 looks to be a great improvement but in the future I will avoid Schuberth. The mony is not worth it.

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

Great video.

[@TheGoozaflight]

Good helmet

[@ttss5726]

My god can they brand that helmet anymore. thats one thing that bugs me having more then one brand name on the helmet. on the front on the back on the check pads inside the back line. not to mention the logos faintly on the helmet. Thats a huge deal breaker right there i pay for the helmet I'm not paid to advertise for them. Add the biggest break is the lack of d-rings

[@RevZilla]

The S2 has been replaced by the S2 Sport, which now has D-rings. The Matte Black version has the least amount of logos. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/schuberth-s2-sport-helmet
