Good Points: Excellent helmet allround.
Bad Points: Sometimes awkward to shut the lid.
General comments: I bought my Schuberth C2 just over 12 months ago and have worn it virtually every day and over 20,000 miles since. It is very comfortable and even on long journeys doesn't leave me with neck ache. The internal sunvisor is a great add on, though in time the anti fog coating stops working quite so well.
For around town (or if you wear glasses) there is a city position for the external visor that allows extra air in to de-fog. This works well at low speeds, though gets overly noisey at about 50mph. No problem there, just close it tightly and let the standard air vents do the work. Like all quality helmets, it is designed with coms systems in mind. I use autocom with the standard speakers. These fit nicely into little voids, though take a while to place so you don't get ear ache. The only real downside is the wind break on the flip lid. This catches against my chin, meaning that is is a little awkward to close and has to be done at a standstill rather than on the move. It also has a side pocket for your ICE details and instruction on resuscitation.
I had a recent spill, where I hit my head hard enough to have minor concussion. The helmet boasted only a couple of scratches - the replacement of course is another C2.
Best in class is my vote.

Quiet, comfortable well made, excellent with intercomm installed. Top quality visor, Good top air vent to keep head cool, Removable strap lining, Added bonus internal flip down sun visor.
I was hit full on the visor by a piece of metal that fell from a scrap metal recovery lorry travelling towards me at app 50mph (angle iron 9"). I was travelling 50mph in the opposite direction. The visor deflected the angle iron although was badly cracked.
Any lesser product I think I may not have been here to ...

The Schuberth C2 is a good quality, well made helmet that shows that flip front helmets can be quiet too.
I can't close the front with 1 hand as the chin skirt needs to be held while closing the front. This means that I have to shut the front before I move off.

I had a Caberg C2 before this and bought the C2 because of the purported acoustic improvements. I can't say I have noticed any. The internal padding is minimal (cheek pads) and it allows too much cold inside. I didn't like riding in the cold with a streaming nose. A very disappointing helmet unless you only ride in warm weather.

I spent ages thinking about what helmet I should buy. I read reviews looked at mates asked strangers at motorcycle meets etc and then the Schubeth factory was on Sky one evening and I watched them making the helmets. Next day I used the internet to purchase a C2. I saved approx 30. These helmets arent cheap but nor is your head. Money well spent.

It rattles and at speeds over 40mph its got an annoying whistle on the visor that doesnt seal properly. Opening mechanism isn't as good as the Caberg too. When I'm due to change it i will go for a full face lid or back to the Caberg. Scuberth are over priced.

Don't buy BMW System 5, buy Schuberth c2,
Far superior helmet in all ways.
I bought the BMW, one week later I went and tried on and purchased C2, no comparison, C2 is far superior,
So put the extra £20 - £50 and buy the C2

The Schuberth C2, being a flip-up model, has one main battle to fight: accustic isolation. Greatlly due to high quality materials and solid locking system, it scores higher than all the others in this class, including better than many of the integral class.
Although it has a dark visor integrated I don't find it to be of great use. When riding a motorcycle in daylight time it's important to have sun glasses that also protect you from wind entry to your eyes and this visor does not accomplish ...
