I see the Schuberth C4 is being blown out price wise, I wonder if something new will be out shortly. Any speculation?

You might also have seen some prices from European websites. This one is an example: https://www.fc-moto.de Prices are lower but perhaps delivery and service are not the same as say, Revzilla?

Kind of crazy looking I resemble that remark
I see that big C4 on the side if I crash and hit my head it won’t explode right?

I like the silver pulse.
When we bought our silver C4s at the first of the year I was too cheap to pay the extra $100 for the graphics.
Now the pulse is $100 cheaper than what we paid for the straight silver.
I see Revzilla has the Pulse for $550.

We had 5 inches of snow in Creston a couple days ago.
Weather looks good for Thursday and Saturday, but there's a lot of sand and salt on the roads now.
I bought one too and after 8 months the SC1A failed and the helmet gets repair 3 times. First and last Schuberth for me, going to Shoei Neotec II next helmet.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's a great helmet. I'd own one but found out with help from the Schuberth folks at the SLC rally last year that the C4 was too close in the chin area for me, and the E1 fit me like a glove. So, I bought a new E1 through my BMW dealer this last spring BUT don't regret buying it then at all, in spite of the price difference between then and now-- it was a great helmet to wear for the rides I took this year to Tuktoyaktuk and throughout the former Yugoslavia.
What IS wrong is that sales of high-dollar MC accessories are slowing and there are dealers and wholesalers looking to clear out current year inventory before it ages out, and to reduce overall inventory to an appropriate level for the sales volumes they are seeing.
IMHO, of course.
Best,

There is now, or at least on the website, a C4 Pro including a carbon fiber version.

I see Revzilla has dropped the price again. $400 for the Pulse and $350 for solid colors.

BMW Hlemet - New Model (Made by Schuberth
A big European BMW apparel, etc. distributor is showing a BMW C-7 helmet for 562 Pounds Sterling and 690 Euros. That price includes the 19% VAT tax. It's made by Schuberh and the shell is 100% carbon fiber. That same website has the BMW System C6 helmet on sale at lowered prices. Here's the URL https://www.bmw-motorrad-bohling.co...is_factfinder=desc&followSearch=9665&limit=30 and a screen-shot:

I'm very happy with the C4 because of the comfortable fit.
Fit will be different for everyone.
I like how the SC1A is built into the helmet without anything stuck to the outside.
At first the volume was too low for both of us, but this was fixed by changing the firmware back to the original 1.0.
One problem we still have is the intercom will disconnect on long rides.
When this happens we can not reconnect useless we shut off the SC1A, turn back on, then connect.
Talked to Schuberth on Wednesday and they want to test the helmets and SC1A units.
They sent me a shipping label and I will mail them when I find a large enough box.
It's winter so we don't need them now.
The Tech told me Schuberth has a new SC2 intercom but it will not be available in the States until spring.
Same delivery estimate for the C4 Pro.
If someone buys a C4 now I would be temped to wait for the new SC2 intercom.
The SC2 is supposed to fit the C4.
Info
Thanks for info Lee it’s obvious something is wrong with comn system for the C4 so can wait longer for that, but $350 to $400 for the C4 I have to make up my mind which one I want before they are cleared out. I don’t know if they are the best helmets out their but when people argue what’s best they are in the mix. I don’t think there’s a better $350 to $400 helmet at this point in time IMHO.

The difference between C4 and C4PRO is C4PRO is carbon fiber she'll so it is lighter. For quiet/noise it is almost equivalent with cheap Zox Nevado helmet, the problem I had with my helmet were: chin piece (vent tab) rattles when open, fell off on 4 days ride trip, chin padding thread separated and foam started to come out.
SC1 and SC1A is A is capable of sharing music with your pillion, the problem I had with are, battery compartment was lose so everytime you tap the helmet the com would shut off, the com socket is also did not assembled properly, the contact also lose.
There are few ways to pair the com, phone, NAV and bike I found, the first 2 worked well until I tried the 3 way and within a week or 2 it dies or internally shorted while on a trip.
The bad and the ugly is poor quality control, unable to share music with other Sena may be with another SC1A, the best is the high price of both products and phone call now is a lot better, no statics like 20S.
Just my opinion and 8 months of use, now I have to justify to misses for acquiring Shoei NeotecII with SRL.
