Renowned German manufacturer Schuberth introduces the new S2, which is described as a ‘true allround helmet’ and – in the intentions of its maker – will take on all the main segments of the market, meaning Cruising, Touring, Sports and Racing too.
The S2 weighs 1,450 g (+/- 50 g depending on the size) and has a shell made of composite moulding and fibreglass in a sanwich structure (hence it is uniform, with no ‘patches’) which contributes to make the S2 light and rigid, and has a polyester/polyamide lining that’s easily removable and washable.
Schuberth takes a lot of pride in its wind tunnel – they were the first helmet manufacturer to get one about 30 years ago – which allows them to carry on very advanced tests in aerodynamic and aeroacoustic on their products, and the S2 is no exception.
The model in fact uses a quite advanced design and that reduces the air flow that gets to the ears, making it one of the most ’silent’ helmets out there.
The model also boasts an innovative ventilation system which allows it to take in 8 litres of fresh air per second when traveling at 100 km/h, and uses a chin spoiler that increases down force while reducing neck strain.
Furthermore, the S2 is the first helmet ever to come with 2 integrated antennas for Bluetooth and FM radio reception, which is suitable for Schuberth’s own SRC connectivity system.
Obviously, built-in sun visor and a Micro Lock quick release buckle at the chin-strap are also parts of the package.
