4 Schuberth S2 Sport £434.99 graphics from £499.99 www.bikerheadz.co.uk
The Schuberth has a feeling of security and protection about it. The two vents are big and chunky, making them simple to locate, and you get a good array of features including titanium D-rings, a sun visor and an antenna built into the EPS liner that is compatible with Schuberth’s SRCS-2 intercom system (£200) although there is no marked emergency release system. The visor release system also needs both sides of the visor to be inserted at the same time, which is a bit awkward.
Once on, the S2 Sport feels lighter than expected, with a comfortable lining and room for glasses and the visor has a tag either side for opening, which can be very useful. Up to speed and there is little to complain about, as the visor is optically correct with a nice tint and the vents are also effective. It does everything well but noise lets it down.
