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.

It might not be officially certified by ECE because that is not a legal requirement but would you think Schuberth will actually make a lower quality helmet to sell in US. Overall Schuberth is known for quality and they do make BMW Branded gear as well so I would trust them to be good.
these are about the best helmets you can find...

So as far as I know. Modular helmets can only have the dot certification because of the inherent design of flipping/hinging the helmet is a weak point when trying to adhere to other ratings such as ece, and snell. It doesn't mean that they cheaped out or didn't have safety as a concern. It's just the specific needs of each ratings that exclude them. Former owner of a Shoei Neotec 2 highly rated modular helmet
Self Correction: snell is the rating that excludes modular helmets for the most part.
How does this compare to the shoei Neotec 2?
This is not true. Cyclegear has 52 listings for ECE rated modular helmets. I personally own a Sedici Sistema II that is ECE rated.
