steve2 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Anyone out there know about the new BMW C-6 helmet? I found you can buy one in England for $645. Is it worth it? Link to comment
Linz Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm a fan of BMW helmets. They're made by Schuberth and are superbly comfortable and quiet. The price in Australia may be even more attractive for you. Linz Link to comment
English Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Anyone out there know about the new BMW C-6 helmet? I found you can buy one in England for $645. Is it worth it? My local dealer sells the new System 6 for £325 which at todays exchange is $520 plus delivery. Link to comment
sevenup Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ocal dealer in Scotland has been discounting these to just under £300. Probably won't send it to you but i would be prepared to help out. A lot cheaper than the Schuberth C3. I think the only meaningful difference is the fabric collar/neck band on the BMW helmet. I wonder if the C3 collar fits. The BM collar appears to 'wick' water in heavy rain. Link to comment
frenchwv Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Can anyone post an image of this helmet? Link to comment

Unhofliche_Gesundheit Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 imho you'd better try before you buy - i found the shape/fit was weird (ymmv) ( C-6s were 1/2 price at bmw summerfest at mosport / Toronto last weekend and i was in the market... but didn't buy one ) Link to comment
lightcycle Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Are you guys talking about the BMW System 6 / Schuberth C3? I have seen or heard nothing about BMW C-6s. As for BMW helmets being onsale @ Mosport during Summerfest, those were old System 5s they were getting rid of, not the new System 6s. Link to comment
Unhofliche_Gesundheit Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 re: those were old System 5s oh ! sorry i don't know any better. btw - awesome web page! Link to comment
CH47AV8R Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Does the System 6 helmet have bluetooth or provisions for enabling a bluetooth transceiver, microphone, and helmet speakers? Link to comment
Pletch Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah the Sys 6 can have the BMW bluetooth put on. BUT, I have a scheuberth C2 with teh Scheuberth BT, (same sytems with only minor cosmetic changes) and I abslutely hate it. The mic is sensitive because of the BT nature and ques with even mmild wind noise (we actually drove to the factory in an effort to have them adjsut while we were there, no luck). There is a gala function for adjustment but it is all but useless. And once you pair with something, the circuitry can't effectively handle other complex pairings (i,e, if you go helm to helm, and try to add your phone or GPS, the master helm keeps loosing the original pairing and then spends the next several hours switching between paired devices). I would normally consider this an isolated problem especially from a company like scheuberth or BMW, but hte complaints are very wide spread, at least here in Germany. If you want to talk or listn or whatever, go cabled, even the worst system will be better than a BT. pletch Link to comment
