Schuberth has released the successor to the Schuberth C4 helmet, the schuberth C4 Pro. It is a modular helmet meant for touring riders looking for the best quality available. At first sight the C4 Pro doesn’t show any big changes to the original C4. But nothing is less true. This flip up helmet has been improved on many points, some of which had caused difficulties with C4 modular helmet. Some of the issues we experienced with the previous model, was the home made anti-fog lens. This was by far the most common warranty issue with the C4 at Champion Helmets. No big trouble, because the customers simply got a new pinlock and problem solved. But some of the other issue were less easy to solve. The ventilation clip on the chin bar sometimes also let loose. Schuberth responded very well on these issues. But before we jump into what's new about it, it is good to mention where the new C4 is positioned. The Schuberth C-4 Pro is a very high-end modular helmet. The best comparison could be made with its all time-rival the Shoei Neotec 2. The last 10 years the market of Flip-Up helmets has pretty much been dominated by Shoei and Schuberth. But there is a serious challenger in the form of AGV Sportmodular. But unlike Shoei and Schuberth, AGV hasn't really earned its stripes in that modular helmet market just yet. So that leaves the Shoei Neotec 2 as the strongest challenger of the Schuberth C4 Pro. It doesn't get much better than these two basically. But one should ask himself if all these luxurious features and benefits are something you really need from a motorcycle helmet? There are some pretty good helmets in the mid-range category such as HJC RPHA90, Shark Evo-One 2 and the Roof Boxxer Carbon which will give you that same high-end taste but for a much more affordable price. They also with comfortable fit and integrated sun shield and stuff like that. But not quite just like the Neotec 2 and the Schuberth C4.
Difference: Schuberth C4 vs. C4 Pro
Schuberth has had a long history in modular helmets. Especially the C3 Pro has been dominating the marketing for quite some time. Then came the Schuberth C4 and since december 2018 they announced the brand new Schuberth C4 Pro. Watch the full Video Schuberth C4 Pro Review to see the visual difference. As far as safety is concerned, the C4 was already a high quality helmet and they kept it that way with the C4 Pro. In terms of ease of use and comfort, some things have been improved. The greatest change is to the inner liner that helps reduce the noise level. Both cheek pads and top liner have been made from a velvet-like material, which feels comfortable to wear. At Schuberth, they have taken feedback from their riders very seriously in developing the C4 Pro. One of the other big changes was the position of the microphone. With the Schuberth C4 the microphone of the sena sc1 communication system was positioned at the top of the helmet at the fore head and now they have integrated the microphone in the cheek pad. This makes the sound cleaner with less wind noise. Something really noticeable when trying them out both. Another change was the housing of the Sena communication system and battery. The sena intercom and battery were actually somewhat loose in the housing and this could give some vibration and annoying noise with the old C4. This is completely solved with the C4 Pro, because both sit in more firmly. Schuberth also changed the ventilation covers which in some cases let loose after a while. They made them more firm and very hard to break. All though the issue with the original C4 was mainly with the vent cover on the chin guard, they also strengthened the cover of the top vent. And another thing you may want to hear is that they lowered the price by 50 euro. One of the complaints we receive regularly from touring riders is that they are genuinely interested in modular helmets like the Neotec 2 and the C4 but the price is just slightly over the budget they are willing to spend. We guess Schuberth listened to this and tried to approach the top of the mig-range helmets.
