Schuberth M1 HelmetSchuberth continues to pave the way for advances in head protection technology with their latest release, the Schuberth M1. The innovative new design integrates the safety features unique to the German helmet manufacturer with groundbreaking aesthetics, functionality and customizability.“For decades Schuberth has pioneered the field of head protection technology,” said Schuberth North America Vice President Randy Northrup. “Now the tradition continues with the Schuberth M1. This helmet represents everything that Schuberth stands for: premium quality, unparalleled engineering and development, and a dedication to continually improving and advancing this most important piece of motorcycle safety equipment.”
Schuberth designed and developed the M1 like they do all their helmets: in the Schuberth aeroacoustic wind tunnel. The result is a helmet optimized for reduced drag and less wind noise compared to other open face helmets. The woven glass fibers in Schuberth’s S.T.R.O.N.G. system produce a consistent shell that is lightweight yet strong, and the injection molded single layer multi-density EPS creates a snug fit while offering impact protection.The M1 is unique from other Schuberth helmets in its customizability. With seven shell colors, two inner lining colors, five face shield colors/tints, five internal sun visor tints, two top vent cover options, and six country flag stickers, the Schuberth M1 is truly a customizable showpiece that can be made to fit with any rider’s motorcycle or personal style. Additionally, the easily removable face shield can be replaced by a black or titanium color trim piece for a clean, open face look.Perhaps the most advanced feature is the optional Schuberth Rider Communication System (SRC-System), powered by Cardo. While other Schuberth models like the S2 Sport and C3 Pro / C3 Pro Women can be set up with an SRC-System, the M1 integrates with its communication unit like no other. The M1 arrives with pre-installed speakers, boom-less microphones, and antenna. Riders simply “snap” the SRC unit into the back of the M1 helmet for instant connectivity to their cell phone, navigation system, or SRC intercom.The Schuberth M1 is now in stock at select Schuberth dealers in the United States and Canada.

This week, in the first segment Senior Editor Nic de Sena talks to us about the new Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark. This somewhat entry-level machine still comes with all the great Ducati hallmarks of excellent low down torque and impeccable handling. If you like to hear about fun motorcycles, then you’ll enjoy this one.
In the second segment, Editor-at-Large Neale Bayly brings us another of his interviews, this time it’s with Chip Doherty.
Chip’s amazing resume includes motorcycle racer, restorer and collector. Back in the early 2000s he used his engineering background to start motorcycle clothing manufacturer Motophoria.
After selling that company in 2007, Chip’s resume gained him entry to NASA where for 7 years he was responsible for launching the space shuttle! Since moving on from NASA, Chip expanded his collection of classic British bikes. Eventually Neale persuaded him to ride to Peru and help Neale’s Wellspring Foundation raise money for the orphanage there.
So, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
Neale Bayly’s Wellspring Foundation always appreciates donations. Just $5 will help feed an orphan.
