any user comments on this one?

missus and meself are considering new lids and so far it was the Caberg Justissimo GT or a Schuberth C2
i just added the Caberg after reading the other topic :-)
BMW no longer an option... too pricey
Airoh also less of an option to many nooks and crannies = noise


edit:
been looking on the websites and somehow the Schuberth C2 looks less noisy then the Caberg Justissimo . There's less buttons/gaps/relief/holes to create turbulence...
but the Caberg looks more sophistic shape, where the C2 looks more ... like a blob.

Mrs TDMTAM has the justissimo GT & likes it alot say it very comfy & not to noisey for a flip up. The buckle on it is a bit like the ones you get on MX boot but with a springloaded action it can be used with light gloves not tried it with winter gloves though. the blue tooth attachment is £149 BTW
I liked the idea of the flip down sun visor but ended up going with the Shoei Multitec

i presume the rhyno is the replacement for the trip as this isnt featured and the retails for the rhyno is about the same as the old trip.

jeez... the Schuberth are nearly as expensive (+-€500) as the BMW helmets (same manufacturer)...

Caberg Justissimo looking more and more appealing

found this link to get a view of whats out there
http://www.motowebsh.../flipup_helmets

Schuberth also make fullface helmets (the non flipups) with the sun visor...

yeah and they are still way pricey as well

the justissimo is very good value for money and the rhyno is just a rebadged trip (lot less quality and thinner linings than the GT justissimo.

after clattering my justissimo on the deck at ruppertshoffen i am considdering the GT model as a replacement (must get out and try one on soon)

My mate's got a Caberg Justissimo and hates it cause of the wind noise and draught thru the vents. I've got a Caberg V2 and although it's the comfiest helmet I've had it's also the noisiest and so draughty that I've covered the vents with tape.

I won't be buying another Caberg.

Yes , but the point I'm trying to make is that both the flip and the traditional style seem to be draughty. Maybe something to do with the style of vents and the position of them. Possibly a flaw that runs throughout the range.

sorry hawmaw, but i dont agree with that
i've had both versions of the justissimo before the current model and they arent draughty at all
my OGK lid and my old arai are much worse

my main comment on the later caberg i have was to do with lack of ventilation, not too much

tried on a Schuberth C2 and an Airoh SV55 luxe.

C2, comfy, not to happy about the chinbit release button being on the side.
ears arent squished, plenty of room for putting in earphones/plugs
lots of snug patches to keep the wind out, so snug they are annoying when opening the lid. you get a free nosewhipe when you flip up the chinpiece.
quality feel ... hence the price.

SV55 ...
comfy; good price; chinpiece and sunvisor easy to operate with (summer)gloves.
but the other ventilation button on top of the helmet is very hard to operate. front one is ok, looked like it had 3 positions... although i think only 2 are intended.
the air intake on the chinpiece has some sort of valve thing that when closed while open just by the riding wind... intentional?

anyway...
next the Justissimo... had a search on the net and found a shop that sells them.
I'm an insomniac agnostic dyslexic. I lay awake at night and wonder if there really is a dog.

methinks you will like it banana.gif

I like tony have not found the justissimo at all draughty, granted it is a little noisy but certainly not draughty. and the visor coating works well to stop fogging.

now i must get off my arse and go look at a GT version.

certainly a lot of praise for the Caberg Justy GT ... but no red one.. whats with all the blue in all the brands????
my BMW helmet is certainly not the most silent helmet, so doubt the Justy will be louder.


Tony,
lettuce snow how that bluetooth turns out...

wondering if you can communicate with other "helmets" ... hows that gonna work to "allow" the connection?

bluetooth appears good
sound is fine up until 70mph-ish
after that they could still here me, but i couldnt get the speaker loud enough to understand them(but my hearing is shite anyway)

My answer may be getting boring now

Is the sun visor certified like sunglasses. If not are you risking your sight through a piece of dark plastic.

Would you wear a pair of sunglasses made of dark plastic or would you insist on CE quality?

Hi I'm new to the web site and was just browsing but saw this... I have had a Caberg V2 which was really bad for wind noise and then went for the schurth s2 which is the non flip one.

This I got as abargin new off ebay £180 and it is quieter. However i would say it depends on your head shape , vents and your height of screen. After buying this lid it made no real difference to noise (still use ear plugs) but I had a touring screen o my previous bike (deauville) and it was diverting the wind onto my head, went back to orginal screen ...problem solved so not really the helmet.

Anyway I have a mark 1 TDM now..and i'm 6 2 so find it quite uncomfortable at any speed over 70mph. Any idea on screens to add protection but avoid putting air on head ??

Cheers Mark

Hi Shacks, there has been loads of discussion and debate about screens, high, low, holes, wings, spacers, its probably best for you to do a search on screen's then when you have digested the reams of info start a new thread if you still have questions. Good Luck.

Whatever you do DON'T buy the Nolan version. It has an external flip down visor. This traps dirt between it and your main visor and scratches the main visor to shreds.
However it is quieter than my old Caberg.
But it still ain't quiet.

I got the Caberg Trip which as been rebadged the Rhyno why that is dont know

Had this helmet since spring and overall im quite pleased with it the inner tinted visor as been a real benefit as i leave for work riding into the sun in the mornings cool.gif
It can be a bit noisy but so was my FM helmet,i did block the two out side air vents off from the inside as sometimes when turned my head it use to make strange noises,Outer visor anti mist works well.Cause of my touring yamaha screen it does cause the visor to rattle slightly but changing seating position slightly stops that.
Would i buy another Caberg yea i would smile.gif

I have gone for the SHOEI MULTITECH which is quiet for a flip and came with a legal smoke visor aswell as a clear visor and a pinlock anti-mist strip (these work great, got one on my ARAI too) and I am well pleased with its performance so far. The cost was £250 after a 10% discount from Millenium Motorcycles at St Helens, Mersyside. smile.gif
