Schuberth E2 Helmet Review: Premium ADV Helmet with Advanced Features

Schuberth E2 Helmet Overview

• 🏍️ The Schuberth E2 is a premium modular ADV helmet priced at $899, targeting adventure touring, commuting, and moto camping riders.
• 💡 It features a lightweight fiberglass shell reinforced with carbon fiber and is built to the ECE2206 standard (though not explicitly stickered for the US).
• ⚖️ Weighing 1,675 grams (just under 3.7 lbs), it's not the lightest but is considered reasonable for a feature-rich modular helmet.

Fit, Comfort, and Design

• 🧐 The helmet has an intermediate oval shape, designed to fit most US riders, and comes in two shell sizes for a range of fits from XS to 3XL.
• 💨 Initial wear might feel heavy on the forehead, but it breaks in after about a week of riding, becoming one of the most comfortable helmets.
• ⛰️ The adjustable 3-position peak is somewhat flimsy but doesn't grab excessive wind, though it can become unstable near triple digits.
• 👁️ The field of view is generally good, but can be slightly restricted vertically when the peak is in its lowest position.

Key Features and Integrations

• ☀️ It includes a pin lock-ready visor and a drop-down sun visor that extends very low, preventing sunlight intrusion without fogging.
• 🌬️ Ventilation is strong, with two chin vents designed to block dust and debris, plus a large top vent and rear exhaust.
• 🔌 A standout feature is its pre-wiring for the Schuberth SC2 comm system, powered by Cardo, offering a seamless, integrated Bluetooth experience.

Performance and Comparisons

• 💨 While stable at city and backroad speeds, the peak can cause noticeable wind grab above 90 mph, especially on naked bikes.
• 🔇 The helmet is exceptionally quiet, especially on the highway, contributing to comfort and better audio for vlogging.
• 🆚 Compared to competitors like the Shoei Neotec 3, AGV Tour Modular, Klim TK1200, and Arai XD4, the E2 offers a strong balance of features, integration, and comfort, particularly with its peak adjustability and comms system.

Moto Vlogging and Final Score

• 🎤 For moto vlogging, the E2 is a good option due to its quietness and comfort, though microphone placement can be finicky with larger units.
