    Chin bar release Chinstrap buckle 4. OUTER SHELL The outer shell of the C4 BASIC helmet combines an aerodynamically optimal shape with consistent protection. It consists of a special glass-fibre reinforced duroplastic matrix developed by SCHUBERTH, which gives the helmet the high level of strength needed for your protection.

  • Page 8: Aerodynamics

    C. THE HELMET 6. AERODYNAMICS Wind noise is low with the C4 BASIC, both for race-riding and during long touring rides. The C4 BASIC produces practically no uplift even at speed. Note: Please note that the strong eddy currents that can occur as a result of the fairing on faired motorcycles may have a significant effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of a helmet.
  • Page 9 Note: With faired motorcycles, strong eddy currents occur at the edges of the wind shadow. These may significantly reduce the aeroacoustic performance of the helmet. The motorcycle fairing should be adjusted so that the turbulence created does not reach the bottom surface of the helmet.

  • Page 10: Wind Deflector

    9. CHIN BAR The C4 BASIC is equipped with a chin bar that pivots up and can be easily opened and closed by means of the operating element located in the middle of the chin bar. The movement of the section required for this is optimised for convenient, smooth operation.
  • Page 11 OPENING THE CHIN BAR 1. Open the chin bar by sliding the red button located in the middle of the chin zone forwards in the direction of the arrow as far as it will go, using your thumb. 2. The chin section flips right up. CLOSING THE CHIN BAR To close the chin bar, pivot it down with one hand until both locks audibly engage.

    Never ride with the chin bar raised. 10. CHINSTRAP WITH MICRO-LOCK RATCHET FASTENERS The C4 BASIC is fitted with a ratchet strap. This locking system is easy to use and enables you to adjust the chinstrap perfectly to your head every time you put the helmet on.
  • Page 13 Caution: When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off in a forward direction with the chinstrap closed. Caution: Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular intervals. OPENING AND CLOSING To close the chinstrap fastener, slide the ratchet tongue step by step into the locking buckle.

  • Page 14: Visor With Anti-Fog Lens

    C. THE HELMET 11. VISOR WITH ANTI-FOG LENS The visor is a fog-free double-lens visor. By fixing the inner anti-fog lens using eccentric pins, the two visor panes are pre-tensioned together and are thereby sealed. An insulating air cushion is thus formed between the visor’s main plate – i.e.
  • Page 15 • When you push the face shield open, it may well travel beyond the urban position • but it is easy to find this position by moving it downwards again. The face shield mechanism requires no additional lubrication. The face shield can be operated at any time irrespective of the position of the sun visor.
  • Page 16 C. THE HELMET 2. Press the spring underneath the face shield mechanism on one side towards the face shield opening, then do the same with the spring on the other side. 3. Move the face shield upwards until it is released from the face shield mechanism.
  • Page 17 3. Check the function of the visor mechanism by closing the visor once and opening it as far as possible. ANTI-FOG LENS Fitting 1. Lay the anti-fog lens in the face shield in such a way that one side of it is already slotted into the locking pin.
  • Page 18 C. THE HELMET 4. Check all around the anti-fog lens to make sure that it fits tightly and evenly against the face shield. Only if this is the case will the anti-misting properties function properly. 5. If you have not done so already, remove the protective film from the anti- fog lens.
  • Page 19 Note: To avoid scratching the face schield, never remove or fit the anti-fog lens unless the visor unit is clean and dry. When fitting the anti-fog lens, check that neither dust nor moisture are able to get between the two surfaces. When removing or fitting the anti-fog lens, it is always best to lay the face schield unit on a clean, dry cloth.

  • Page 20: Sun Visor

    C. THE HELMET Safety note Check before each journey that the face shield and sun visor mechanism are functioning correctly and that the face shield and sun visor will provide good visibility. Any dirt should be removed before setting off. Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and cracks.
  • Page 21 Note: Only use the slide to operate the sun visor. Caution: Never ride in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility with the sun visor down. Always raise the sun visor before entering a tunnel. Caution: Riding without the face shield or with an open face shield can result in injury to the eyes and face from stones, dust, insects and other flying objects.

    14. VENTILATION SYSTEMS VENTILATION DEVICE 1 – FACE SHIELD SETTING The C4 BASIC has a face shield that adjusts to several positions. Depending on your road speed and the tendency of the face shield to mist up, open the face shield sufficiently wide to stop it misting up but so that it still protects your eyes from excessive draft.

  • Page 35: For Your Safety

    F. FOR YOUR SAFETY 1. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE HELMET Motorcycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the rider and passenger. These risks and dangers can be reduced, but not eliminated completely, by wearing a helmet. It is impossible to state precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be in the event of an accident.

  • Page 36: Safety Advice Concerning The Face Shield/ Sun Visor

    F. FOR YOUR SAFETY Examine the helmet for damage at regular intervals. Small scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet. The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 years, depending on use and care. Although the outer shell is in principle capable of a longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear to other components, as well as the overall action of the helmet and the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used, make it advisable for your own safety to replace...
