Choosing the right helmet is very important. The helmet must ﬁt 2. ASCERTAINING THE RIGHT HELMET SIZE
properly to give you the best protection if you fall off or are involved in
an accident. Here’s how to choose a helmet that ﬁts properly: The R1 is available in seven double sizes (based on two outer shell
sizes). Refer to the following list for the helmet size that ﬁts you:
Step 1: Measure your head size

Step 3: Check that the helmet ﬁts properly. 52 to 53 52 / 53 I XS
54 to 55 54 / 55 I S
1. MEASURING YOUR HEAD SIZE 56 to 57 56 / 57 I M
Measure your head size by placing a ﬂexible measuring tape around 58 to 59 58 / 59 I L
your head approximately one ﬁnger’s width (2 cm) above the eyebrows.
This will give you the greatest circumference of your head. The 60 to 61 60 / 61 II XL
measured value represents your head size in centimetres.
62 to 63 62 / 63 II XXL
64 and larger 64 / 65 II XXXL

If your measured head size (e.g. 57.5 cm) is between two helmet
sizes, we recommend trying the smaller size ﬁrst.

Note:
If you experience difﬁculties ﬁnding a helmet size within this
range of sizes that ﬁts ideally and require a special ﬁtting or have
any general questions on SCHUBERTH helmet sizes, speak to
your authorised dealer. Special ﬁttings can only be supplied if
they conform to the current ECE-R 22 standard and at a charge
(see also Section J.1. “Special adaptions”).

Step 1: Check that all pads of the interior lining press ﬁrmly
against your head without being uncomfortable:

b) Cheek pads
c) Headband padding (especially in forehead area).
If the pressure is uncomfortable or possibly even
painful, try the next size up.

choose a smaller helmet.
Step 3: Hold both sides of the helmet ﬁrmly with your hands and
move the helmet up and down. Try also to rotate the
helmet. You should be able to feel the helmet moving
your head and the surface of your face. If it is too easy
to move the helmet, it is too large! Try a smaller size.

Repeat these steps until you have found the right helmet size that ﬁts
properly.

Ideally, conﬁrm your choice by going for a test ride.

Caution:
Never ride with a helmet that doesn’t ﬁt properly!
