Comfort for the tuck, not for the upright

Bang for the Buck

So the seat does everything it is listed to do - comfort, pressure relief, enhanced stability, look & feel. After 2000 miles of riding on it I can tell you that it is built for a full tuck position.
The benefits
+ Be swamp butt free - the center channel is free air conditioning
+ Improved riding posture - the center channel creates a comfort zone for the crotch in the full tuck & upright positions.
+ the positioning of the gel take pressure off your back completely.
+ the seat is slightly more narrow than stock, which allows for a greater sense of freedom when shifting knee to knee.
+ the pictures do not show the carbon detail. It's awesome.

The Cons
- The center channel creates a pool on rainy days. However, I'm able to wipe it dry with one flick of the finger down the channel.
- Maintaining an upright position for long durations creates pressure points on the glutes or pelvic bones (not the sacrum though which creates the back ache).
- It is harder than stock until well into break in.
- this design may not be suitable for most sport touring enthusiast (note the name - track).
- Comes slightly loose out of the box, you have to bang the flanges with a hammer to create a snug fix on the bike.

Otherwise, it looks, feels, performs and inspires confidence just like any aftermarket accessory should.

My only knock is that the 80% tint makes daytime turn to night. Otherwise, the view port is clearer than the stock clear shield. I purchased the silver mirror and light smoke. The light smoke could be considered for a daily driver, day & night if you're a city dweller or burn HIDs.
Further, it complements the SR1 to create a simply menacing look. The clear shield doesn't do it any justice, but add the mirror or the smoke, and make the $1000 investment worth every penny in look, feel, performance, and fashion statement.

So here's the deal, if you watched the video you'd know that the microphone boom has a larger foam cushion which muffles sound even more if it is not directly in front of your mouth. If your face structure (your chin) is more pronouced the boom will be uncomfortable in the helmet. The boom is designed to be used and seated right in front of your lips. Just that simple, but for everything else:
- Ambient noise cancellation: when I'm talking to anyone they think I'm in my office even at +100 mph.
- Sound clarity: 100% clear especially since this fits into the most quiet modular helmet on the market. If you have an aftermarket racing exhaust, the drone will distort the people talking to you, but that's your purchasing decision and not an SRC issue.

- Sound clarity: 100% clear especially since this fits into the most quiet modular helmet on the market. If you have an aftermarket racing exhaust, the drone will distort the people talking to you, but that's your purchasing decision and not an SRC issue.
- Bluetooth connectivity: if you read the manual/website or even called Schuberth North America the first thing they ask is if you updated it to 3.0.x. If not your bluetooth does not AD2P connected, thus eliminating most IPHONE features. Buying it now, it is preloaded. Iphone SIRI - press the phone button once, SIRI pops up, gives you the tone, say your command. If you're unintelligible she won't recognize you with or without a microphone. Easiest way to find out, ask her to Dial a number and not a person. Could be you. Also make sure your phone has headset controls turned on. Bluetooth headset controls are different than line-in controls.
Controls: The trick is to look for the ridges between the buttons. Pay attention to the ridges and your $400 contraption is stupid simple.
Software: Yes it comes with updateable software that allows you to turn every feature on/off or modify the settings. Key things to modify out the box - radio station presets and whether you want the other controls on/off.
Loudness: The only issue I face depending on which phone I use - particulary the Iphone for whatever reason. My samsung has amazing clarity, and volume range. The system also automatically adjust volume levels which is a big+.
Intercom: Ding! you found where your extra $100 went. You can connect to any Scala rider Intercom headset in full duplex which means your headset operates just like the G4 from Cardo. Here's the differences - a Q2 pro multiset is a master slave relationship where if you have multiple bikes each bike can talk to the master, but not to eachother. The G4 allows for 2 or more simultaneous connections allowing you to talk to 2+ other intercoms at the same time or a 3 way conversation. You get the G4 technology in your SRC without having an external device attached to your helmet.
I've had mine long enough to have a speaker blow out. Called up Schuberth, they issued an RMA to Revzilla and they shipped me an advanced replacement. Find better service than that!

So I got this suit after being caught rain gear-less 3 rides in a row. The suit does not breathe terrifically so you will eventually get warm, but you'll be dry as a bone as it is completely waterproof. I purchased one size up and it payed off when wearing it over any gear. Over normal clothes you can match it direct. The entire suit can be cinched in with velcro adjusters at the wrist, waist, and ankle allowing you to basically tie the suit down to your body. No air pockets, and no flapping no matter how fast you go. There's only one giant waterproof pocket up around chest level which has its own zipper. This is more of a jump-in suit as the zipper may open from neck to knee, but there's an internal piece that's part of the waterproofing that comes up over your waist. So you'd need to take off your boots to get in it, though I've squeezed in at this point in sneakers.
When I'm in it, I've gotten "omg, what are you wearing?" and "mommy it's an astronaut!" but no one has ever told me I wasn't stylish. The carrying bag as a finishing touch is awesome. It is breathable so you can fold the suit in wet, and not have worry about a future stench or mold for the phobes out there.

Fit, feel, protection +++++
PostedFebruary 8, 2011
Took 2 days to break it in, the feel is amazing it's like I'm not wearing a glove at all. The re-enforcing of the palm, pinky, and thumb are not noticeable. The added protection of a gauntlet that also accessories my Dianese Racing Pele makes this a 5 star product in my eyes.
Dianese for life...
Pros Fashionable, Comfortable, Rugged, Great Value

schubert c3
THE SCHUBERTH SRC SYSTEM FOR C3 IS WATERPROOF?? THANKS!!!
Waterproof = no, water resistant due to the rubberized outer framing, and the consideration that it is installed as your neck roll.
Schuberth does not warrant the product as waterproof, but they say riding in the rain is no problem for it.
