Schuberth Helmets
After a recent thread about helmets I dropped a line to Schuberth in Germany inquiring about their products. I just recieved a response from them (Surprise). They said that at this time they cannot sell their products here in the US and that they have no dealer network. They also said that they have been working on getting into this market and that there will be an announcement of their new sales network at the Indianapolis Dealers Expo in February of 2007.
All their mc helmets look pretty good, but I like the one with the chin bar instead of the full face. All the research I've done indicates that it's a good helmet. Other riders say it's very comfortable, well ventilated and doesn't restict your vison too badly, but it is expensive. Sure would like to try one.

I've had my eye on that same helmet. Found a "discount outlet" in England that would ship one but the price was around $700. ($125 of that was shipping. Too much for me.
Been hoping that Nolan, HJCor others would pick up on theidea and put something out for a lot less $$$. Sure would be nice to have a safer 3/4 lid for hot weather..

They were availible here in the U.S. through the helmet shop
www.helmetshop.com/home
I don't know if they still are but a friend of mine got his there
last year. He likes his Scorpion EXO 700 much better though.
Good luck what ever you choose to buy!

Didn't see any Schuberth listed on that site.
This is the helmet we are talking about : http://www.schuberth.com/j1/index.htm
To the best of my knowledge they were never imported to the US.

RE: Schuberth Helmets
I've tried them on in one of the local shops here in Cal.. They are excellent helmets but the fit is a problem for some. There isn't much room in the chin area. This is the brand of helmet used by the Ferrari team in F1, those guys can have any helmet in the world!
I called Central Coast Mechanics in San Luis Obispo California. 805-786-4559, they sell them.
