Just back from trying on the new Schuberth C4. What a disappointment! Maybe I have an odd shaped head but the fit was simply not what I expected. I have a Schubert M1 which fits superbly. Trying the same size in the C4 completely different feel. The whole helmet feels smaller on my head. Opening the front part was cumbersome and with the chin guard now much closer to my chi it al feels far too compact and tight. No doubt the helmet is a great build and the quality is definitely there but not for me.
Now I am really annoyed. The main reason for going for the new C4 was the brilliant new built in communications.
On Thursday I will try out the BMW system 7 helmet which despite coming out of the same Schubert factory is a completely different animal,m or so I have been told. I have been advised that the helmet fits better than the Schubert's do in general.
As to inbuilt comms I am a bit worried these are something limited to BMW only in that they don't communicate with other GPS units or other non BMW system users.
Anyone who has one can offer any advice? Should I go for a retro fitted SENA system?
Which is best compatible. I have always had issue with the retro fits especially boom mic's. /again the main reason to go fo the Schuberth. All a bit of a dilemma really.
