Schuberth Concept – New Flip-Up Helmet for 2025

The Schuberth Concept meets the current ECE-R 22.06 safety standard, which imposes stricter requirements for protection and durability. Additionally, the helmet is equipped with P/J homologation, meaning it can be used as both a full-face and open-face helmet. This versatility allows riders to flexibly decide whether to keep the chin bar closed or flipped up, depending on riding conditions and weather. Designed and handcrafted in Germany, this model offers well-thought-out features for daily use as well as longer tours.

A unique selling point is the UA homologation (Universal Accessory), which certifies that the helmet meets stringent safety requirements even with a retrofitted communication system installed. This certification is a first in the industry and ensures that the helmet's protective function is not compromised by technical accessories like intercom systems. With this, the Concept continues the technical innovation of the Schuberth C5, which was the first flip-up helmet to receive the ECE-R 22.06 homologation and was a pioneer in this field.

Like the C5, the Schuberth Concept features a fiberglass outer shell crafted using the Direct Fiber Processing (DFP) method. This manufacturing technique ensures precise material processing and high stability at a comparatively low weight. The Schuberth Concept is available in two shell sizes (XS-L and XL-XXXL), and in size L, it weighs 1620 grams.

The outer shell is complemented by an EPS liner with two densities, providing calibrated energy absorption in the event of an impact. Additionally, the helmet features the proven AROS (Anti-Roll-Off-System), designed to prevent the helmet from unintentionally coming off the head in an accident.

In addition to safety features, Schuberth places great emphasis on comfort. The Concept is equipped with an OEKO-TEX® 100 certified interior, which is skin-friendly and breathable. This material ensures a comfortable fit even on longer rides and supports efficient moisture regulation. Aerodynamic optimization in the wind tunnel has also reduced noise levels, ensuring a more relaxed ride over long distances. The Concept, therefore, is likely designed as a typically quiet Schuberth helmet.

For optimal visibility, Schuberth uses an optical Class 1 visor that provides a distortion-free representation of the surroundings. The Pinlock 70 visor is pre-installed, ensuring clear vision while riding. An integrated sun visor offers additional protection against strong light and can be easily operated with a simple mechanism. The micrometric ratchet closure system ensures precise adjustment to individual head shapes and provides a secure fit.

To ensure good ventilation, the helmet features large air vents with insect protection, allowing for efficient air circulation. This is particularly beneficial on warm days, providing improved fresh air supply. Furthermore, both the outer shell and the interior have been specifically designed to integrate a communication system easily and securely. Thanks to UA homologation, it is ensured that an aftermarket intercom system does not compromise the helmet's protective function.

Building on the experience with the C5, Schuberth introduces the Concept, a flip-up helmet that combines modern safety standards with comfortable features. While the C5 has been showcased in many 1000PS tests as a premium flip-up helmet for demanding touring riders, the Concept targets a broader audience that values quality along with a balanced price-performance ratio.

The new Schuberth Concept will be available exclusively at Louis from April at a price of 499 Euros in solid colors like White, Silver, Glossy Black, and Matte Black. For the Tracer design, available in Blue, Red, Anthracite, and Yellow, the price is set at 599 Euros.
