1. STANDARD
The C4 BASICconforms to the ECE-R 22.05 standard. This testing norm
guarantees conformity to dened safety standards in respect of impact
absorption, visor, retention system and eld of vision. The certication applies to
all the countries of the European Union and all countries that recognise the ECE
standard. It also guarantees conformity with all insurance requirements that are
important in the event of a claim.
Please note that this C4 BASIC with ECE approval is not certied for the USA,
Canada or any other EU countries. It is only permitted for use in countries where
the ECE standard is valid.
Note:
The only SCHUBERTH helmets that it is legal to use in the USA, Canada
or other non-EU countries are those with the appropriate approval and
technical specications. Further information and details of sales outlets for
these helmets can be found on the internet at:

3. ANATOMY OF THE HELMET
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-bre reinforced
duroplastic matrix developed by SCHUBERTH, which gives the helmet the high
level of strength needed for your protection.
Caution:
The safety helmet is designed to absorb the eects of only one impact.
The helmet must be replaced after a fall, accident or any other impact.
5. INNER SHELL
For optimised impact absorption properties, the inner shell of the helmet
consists of several components. The complex multi-segment foam padding of
the main body provides better absorption and dissipation of impact forces and
gives you the highest level of safety. The large side panels ensure the helmet
sits optimally and comfortably.

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 signicant eect on the
aerodynamic characteristics of a helmet.
7. AEROACOUSTICS
Various features developed in SCHUBERTH’s wind tunnel make the helmet
notably quiet as far as aeroacoustics are concerned, while providing optimised
hearing capability when riding. This enhances concentration, especially at high
speeds.
Note:
Aeroacoustic values may vary according to the type of motorcycle, fairing
design, seat position and physical size of the rider.
Caution:
As a result of the aeroacoustic optimisation of the helmet (and the lower
wind noise inside the helmet that comes with it), your actual speed can
easily be underestimated. Please do not rely on your sense of hearing to
estimate your road speed - always check it using your speedometer.

Note:
With faired motorcycles, strong eddy currents occur at the edges of
the wind shadow. These may signicantly 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.

Turbulators
The patented turbulators on the top of the face shield also
optimise the aeroacoustic properties when riding and
prevent acoustic disturbances in the form of whistling
sounds that can be created by smooth and straight
edges.

8. WIND DEFLECTOR
The wind deector prevents the unpleasant eect of the wind created as you
ride owing into the helmet. In addition, the riding noise in the helmet is
reduced.
The wind deector is attached by Velcro strips
on the inside of the acoustic collar and can be
removed when required to provide an additional
ow of fresh air, especially in hot weather.
Tip:
The t of the bottom of the helmet is extremely important in ensuring
that the helmet is as quiet as possible. If you have a smaller neck size, we
recommend that you also wear a scarf.
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.
OPERATION
The chin bar can be opened at any time irrespective of the position of the visor
or sun visor. The sti, positive engagement at the end of travel ensures the chin
bar remains safely in place when raised.
