MICHAEL SCHUMAKER MOTORCYCLE HELMET
16 May 2008 - Oxford Products Ltd.

Based on his long standing love of motorcycles

Schuberth GmbH is immensely pleased to announce that multiple Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher will be spearheading the firm’s development of sports motorcycle helmets.

Starting with the ‘Schuberth Race’ helmet, Michael will continue to bring his wealth of experience to the German firm’s R&D department in order to develop new models. This arrangement continues a unique and extensive partnership between the German brand and the seven-time F1 champion who developed and used Schuberth helmets until he retired from the sport.

Schuberth’s engineers have developed this new crash helmet in close collaboration with Michael himself. In true Schuberth style, the result is an extremely lightweight and aerodynamic helmet, filled with numerous technical and safety innovations.

Since leaving four-wheel competition, Schumacher has failed to resist his passion for all things fast and loud. The German’s longstanding love for motorcycles has seen him enter pro-amateur races in Europe, picking up a debut win in just his second event.

Schumacher explains the continued relationship: ‘Throughout my time in Formula 1 I really appreciated just how fast and accurately the people at Schuberth were able to work. Attention to detail has always been particularly important to me, and I don’t intend to leave anything to chance in the future either.’

Henry Rivers Fletcher of Oxford Products (UK importers for Schuberth), commented: ‘Michael is a great ambassador for Schuberth. We expect some great results from this relationship as the former champ channels some of his renowned perfectionism into the evolution of Schuberth products. Formula 1 and motorcycling technology have much in common – there is no margin for error in either’.

No further information on the price or availability of the ‘Schuberth Race’ helmet is available at this time.
