Schuberth C3 Pro helmet review

In this video review, Chris talks through the fabled Schuberth C3 Pro helmet.

[hwy]

One of the best helmets in the world. I have the C3 Pro and the C4 Pro….no other brand comes close. Worth every penny.

I had the C3 and five years later upgraded to the C3 Pro both with the Comms collar. I do about 24, 000 km every year mainly commuting. They are both excellent helmets. Very comfortable and quite quiet.

There are some niggles which, in my view, shouldn't be there on a helmet of this price. For example, the lining over the head vents moves about blocking one vent or the other and, conversely unblocking the vents in winter allowing a small amount of cold air in. The helmets need a breath-guard to help stop the visor fogging up in the rain and/or cold. And the C3 Comms collar doesn't fit the C3 Pro.

Would I buy another? Yes. But, unfortunately, the mess they made of the C4 four-ish years ago has made dealers stop stocking them in my part of the world so getting hold of one to try on is difficult...

I'm surprised how many people love this helmets and yet in my experience I feel totally disappointed, I have HJC IS17, C3, C3pro, and AGV K5 bought in that order and both Schubert have bit's of plastic falling of : bottom spoilers, black plastic around metal pins where flip locks up, pin lock pin cracked visor around it, C3pro which is my most expensive and I use it less than others have very worn interior where C3 twice as old looks new etc..
All of the other helmets are still in perfect order as a day I bought them and much cheaper but appear to be superior quality to Schubert...
.. By the way, amazing chanal guys !
Very informative and interesting. 👌

New c3pro comes with pinlock 120 fitted to the visor. I had an agv compact st helmet size L 59/60. The C3pro size Xl 60/61 was the best fit for me.

I love my c3 pro. What i don't love about it is that "anti scratch" visor that actually gets scratched from air itself and the rubish pinlock that i have to change every year because no matter how i adjust the visor pins the pinlock doesn't stay "glued" to the visor after you close the visor. It just. The visor and pinlock are rubish, i had far more cheeper helmets with much better visors and pinlocks. Great video!

Brilliant review. Very detailed covering all aspects, both good and bad.

i prefer using peak for rain. Have not done a lot of testing, but i think i get less drops on my visor when i use helmet with peak. I use Schuberth c3 for cold days, and for everything else i use Scorpion adx1 which has peak, but its too cold for it at the moment so further testing will be done next year :D

What about the caberg tour max. Thats a flip lid with a peek on it.

When it was time for me to upgrade I searched high and low until I was able to find a brand new C3 from a shop in the UK that delivered it to me in the US. What will I do when the C3 is no longer useable? I dunno 🤷‍♀️ the world has moved on.

I bought a HJC ROHAN for 420 usd, miami, fl. It is light (not all carbon but partial, arimids, etc). I used to own Shoei, head doesnt fit Schuberth. Please test this one please.

[stokerel]

Are you sure the cheek pads are not replaceable? I'm pretty sure they are, Schuberth sells all sizes.

[ianjames]

Can I get a 120 pin lock for my old C3Pro?

[marcof.]

What do you think about modular helmets like the Scorpion exo tech 2021 or the X-Lite X403?

[FrancisJSmith]

I have a lovely C3Pro in red, but I also have a Harley Davidson Capstone flip-lid helmet (made by HJC), which came with D rings.

Hi guys and gals, great video as always, love your reviews.
I want to buy the new C3 Pro Sestante in yellow. I was also looking for a new comms system, can you tell me if the integrated system is as good as a Cardo packtalk? it's hard to find any info or reviews on the Scuberth integrated system. Thank you so much, kind regards, Michael.

[WTFwrownage]

Just bought this and really happy with it, didn’t know about the locking as well hahah. Question btw can you fit an 120 pinlock on the visor anyway? Like an upgrade, looked online and theres sites selling them for the c3 pro

[cyuiyuwyguiyui]

C4 Basic is 85 DB.The C3 Pro is 82 Decibel..

I can appreciate your point of view about the so called upgrades of the C3 Pro, BUT I respectfully disagree. I was one of the original owners of the C3 and as far as I am concerned it is and should be the helmet that all of the other Schuberh’s in that line are judged. I crashed my C3 pretty good in Laos 🇱🇦 while off-roading and it was around that the C3 Pro had come out. At the time Schuberth had some sort of turn in the crashed helmet for a prorated new one going on and that’s how I ended up with the C3 Pro. I didn’t think much of the change at the time, but as time went on I started to notice that things weren’t the same. When I was finally ready to upgrade to the E1 something made me pull out the old crashed up C3 (which I had kept for sentimental reasons) and that’s when I had a chance to really compare the differences between the two. To save money Schuberth related a bobble head effect on the C3 Pro by downgrading the shell sizes to two instead of the three in the C3 helmet. By doing this it also added more weight to the helmet. I totally disagree about the noise factor, because I found the C3 to be far more quieter than the C3 Pro. I have long complained that Schuberth along with a lot of manufacturers hit you with their best shots at first and then quietly strip away all of the goodness in their products going forward to the unsuspecting public. This is done for no other reason than their bottom line. How do I know the game? Because I’ve been involved in manufacturing for a whole lot of years.
