4. OUTER SHELL

The outer shell of the C3 Pro helmet combines an aerodynamically
optimal shape with consistent protection. It consists of a special
glass-fibre reinforced duroplastic matrix developed by SCHUBERTH,
which gives the helmet the high level of strength needed for your
protection.
Caution:
The safety helmet is designed to absorb the effects of only
one impact. The helmet must be replaced after a fall,
accident or any other impact.
5. INNER SHELL
For optimised impact absorption properties, the inner shell
of the helmet consists of several components. The complex
multi-segment foam padding of the main body provides better
absorption and dissipation of impact forces and gives you the
highest level of safety. The large side panels ensure the helmet
sits optimally and comfortably.

6. AERODYNAMICS

All SCHUBERTH motorcycle and racing helmets are developed
and optimised in SCHUBERTH's own wind tunnel under precisely
defined scientific conditions. The C3 Pro is specifically designed
for a touring or sport-touring riding posture and remains stable
in the air current. Even when traveling at high speeds, the C3 Pro
generates practically no upward lift. Enhanced characteristics of
the C3 Pro are improved air resistance and optimised directional
stability. The buffeting* on unfaired motorcycles is also
significantly minimised.
* Shaking of the helmet as the air flows around it.
Note:
Please note that the strong eddy currents that can occur
as a result of the fairing on faired motorcycles may have a
significant effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of a
helmet.

7. AEROACOUSTICS

Various features developed in SCHUBERTH's wind tunnel make
the helmet notably quiet as far as aeroacoustics are concerned,
while providing optimised hearing capability when riding. This
enhances concentration, especially at high speeds.
Note:
Aeroacoustic values may vary according to the type of
motorcycle, fairing design, seat position and physical size
of the rider.
Caution:
As a result of the aeroacoustic optimisation of the helmet
(and the lower wind noise inside the helmet that comes with
it), your actual speed can easily be underestimated. Please do
not rely on your sense of hearing to estimate your road speed
- always check it using your speedometer.
