Formula One legend turned pukka bike racer Michael Schumacher owns half the world's money, so you'd think that when he chooses to wear a lid, he's not doing it for the cash. Schuey used a Schuberth throughout his absurdly successful F1 career and he's stuck with it now he's become enamored of bike racing. True, his new found motorcycle career has seen him testing lids a lot, and when he's been doing his latest crashing, he's done it in a Schuberth lid.
This S1 Pro helmet is packed with features, including a Pinlock visor, an easy to use pilot-like sun visor, excellent ventilation and an aerodynamic shell that mean it is super quiet. Being German, it's super safe too, with a tough outer made from something called 'S.T.R.O.N.G fibre', would you believe.
Simon has been using one on his 100 mile plus daily commute and, despite his initial scepticism, is becoming more and more impressed.
