Really good modular helmets on sale. Schuberth Helmets are made in germany and are know to be one of the quitest. I had the C3 Pro and it was quiter than a full face helmet.
Solid colors are $324 and with graphics $399. Most sizes available. Scuberth runs smaller if you are in between sizes chose bigger size. For example I am a 58 cm and wear a Medium in Shoei and Arai but a Large in Schuberth

In Europe the C4 is ECE-R 22.05 and in the US it's DOT. The EU ECE-rated helmets aren't imported or DOT certified according to the C4 documentation at Schuberth. (The same disclaimer applies to the C5 according to them.) Does that mean they make different helmets for US and EU? I doubt it. But here's the quote direct from them:
This helmet has been tested and complies with the United States DOT FMVSS No. 218
Standard and does not conform to any other regulations or standards. It is only legal to use
the helmet in countries in which the DOT FMVSS No. 218 Standard is valid.

Never wore this or any schuberth helmet so can't really compare it.
Pleased lmk when you do
They are still a thing. Most people aren't aware with the new rating, I know I wasn't since I took a long break from riding. Apparently having a softer round helmet is better since on most m/c accidents your head rarely suffers from hard impact. More about about the helmet absorbing the small forces as you tumble around. Which makes sense
Can't seem to find the connection type and would like to repurpose my Sena 5s

I've since gone through the Neotec I eventually bought, and am on my 2nd Neotec II.
HTH.
Exactly. HJC has cheap helmets, and they're just fine. A $100 HJC absolutely saved my face in a wreck. They might lack some features (like ventilation) that you'd get out of a $500+ helmet, but they're fine in a crash. Good gear doesn't have to be unaffordable. People who say otherwise just discourage a lot of people from gearing up.
And Schuberth definitely isn't a budget helmet, even if these are discounted.
That said, I'd think twice on a modular. I'd love to have one, but it's something like a third of crashes involving head impact take it to the chin. The weak points in modular helmets are worrying, especially given stories of them opening up. I'd love to use a modular, but full face is worth the inconvenience.

It's high enough that I figure I might as well pay MSRP for the current model at the dealership--it's not that much more.
Buy a 2000 miler from Craigslist for thousands off the new price. 😂
