clothing and helmet » Schuberth C4 - any comments?

Considering the Schuberth C4 as next helmet to replace ageing C3... does anyone have any comments/experience with the C4?
(not the semtex type of C4!)

We have the C4 and we were happy with them on our Texas trip several weeks ago.
Only one trip with them so far.
I like the idea of the built in communicators, but the SC1A is only so so.
If you want to listen to music it could stand to have more volume.

I had to revert the firmware back to 1.0 and slightly move the speakers to get more volume.

I did not check out the new Shoei with built in communicator because the last Shoei modular I had was painful for my head shape.

For my head shape the Schuberth is very comfortable.

If the C3 fits you good you probably can't wear a Shoei.

have a C3 pro not moved onto C4 sorry no help

I wanted to up grade to the C4 last year. Do to a problem in getting DOT certification they were not available in the US until late last year. During the time I spent too much time on the internet looking at european reviews, comments gripes.

I tried a C4 on this spring. Just bought a Shoei Multitec II. Very happy with it...fit me better. Check it out.

Note the integrated intercom (both Shoei and C4 have this) was not important to me.

We have a pair of Legacy Red C4’s
Pleased with the quality and the fit, very comfortable visibility seems a bit better than the BMW system 6
I could do with some more volume for the intercom so I have been missing with the settings, not sure about moving the speakers don’t want to pull the helmet apart as they never seem to go back together quite the same

Thanks Lee
Might take a look
Not sure how you line them up with your ears though?
Might use a tape measure !

This is a really good example of the lost info from ye olde forum. I was seriously considering getting a C4 to replace my C3 pro, but the real world experience from other forum members convinced me not to. For all the hype and the premium price, the reception of the C4 has been only lukewarm.

Thanks guys for the replies!

Lee, I'll be interested to hear how your weekend ride pans out!

I'd be happy to pay the premium price for a C4 if the SC1 worked well. I have the schuberth SRC for my C3pro, and its pretty clumsy with its install in the neckroll. The C4/SC1 plug and play looks like a great implementation, if Schuberth could tweak the SC1 so that is louder and/or noise canceling, I'll pull the trigger.

I usually told people I didn't want a intercom giving Debbie the chance to comment when I do something stupid.
If I do something stupid, by the time we stop for fuel or a rest she has forgotten about the event
