Schumie Developing Noggin Protection

Tuesday May 13, 2008
Michael Schumacher

Retired Formula 1 phenom Michael Schumacher has successfully dabbled in motorcycle racing, but now he's gone even further into the two-wheeled world by developing a sport riding helmet with Schuberth.

According to the company's website, Schumie is quoted as saying, "After seven years together in Formula 1 a cooperation with Schuberth is a logical continuation for me, nevertheless the deciding factor is not the successful past but the products’ sustainability."

A safety product developed by one of the greatest racers ever is sure to feature engineering details that mere mortals can't offer, and I certainly hope the upcoming Schuberth RACE helmet lives up to the hype.

I had been for the “Malaysian Moto Gp 2007″ at Sepang and inspected a few “Helmets” on display at the stalls.Honestly the prices Rs 30,000 approx/Helmet( US $’S 750 approx) were beyond the purchasing power of an average biker, hence the “COST FACTOR” is very important for the success of any product.
