SCHUBERTH designs and manufacturers every helmet with attention to detail. This is reflected in each and every helmet that comes out of the German factory, including the latest product innovation the SCHUBERTH E1. Whether on the freeway, a country or dirt road; this innovative adventure helmet allows the rider to enjoy the highest level of comfort, maximum safety and astonishing aeroacoustics. ALISO VIEJO, CA – May 10, 2016 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Riders have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the SCHUBERTH E1 since its unveiling at the 2015 EICMA show in Milan. The wait is over and it is now on sale at local SCHUBERTH dealers just in time for the start of the season. The E1 unites the functionality and safety of a modern flip-up design with the look, feel and off-road capability of an adventure helmet. The new E1 not only looks like it was built for adventure, it has everything a helmet needs for use off the beaten track too – from the large, multi-position peak to optimal air flow for arduous off-road use. Even though it may not look like it, when the helmet is closed, the chin piece of the E1 can be swivelled up complete with peak and shield. The E1 was developed in SCHUBERTH’s in-house wind tunnel to ensure it features low wind resistance, thus allowing for high speeds on the motorway; and an aerodynamic shape making it very quiet. SCHUBERTH has succeeded in making the modern flip-up helmet fit for adventure. The E1 comes in seven sizes, from XS to XXXL. It is available in five solid colors (matt black, matt anthracite, glossy black, glossy white and glossy silver) for $829, and in Hunter graphics (yellow, blue and red) and Guardian graphics (yellow and red) for $889.

May 10 day 12 Yesterday and today I tackled the white rim trail. I have been looking at this trail for months on google earth and have been looking forward to it for the entire time. I really wanted to ride it unloaded but couldn't bring myself to leave my gear anywhere so I just decided to go for it I mean how bad could it be? This is the track of the first day (60-70miles) and it ended up being such a tougher trail than I had expected. I had a lot of trouble on 3 really badly rutted out hill climbs and had to turn the bike around on its side get it up and go at them again. And had two pretty good offs in deep sand. but besides that everything was pretty manageable the going was slow and very tough so I stopped frequently to drink water and take pictures Last night I got to camp at potato bottom campsite which is available by permit only and it was absolutely beautiful. For sure the most incredibly remote and truly wild place I've ever been in my life. I am sure I took pictures of the camp site but my camera is dead right now so I will upload more pics of the camp and white rim tomorrow. The ride out this morning was around 20 miles and most of it was much easier going than the previous day's riding. Just one bad hill climb and two minor offs in deep soft sand It was a tough trail but I feel like I learned a lot about hairy hill climbs and deep sand and how to ride the bike loaded over tough terrain. I wouldn't recommend doing the trail solo though. I would have felt a lot better with a partner because the times where I did struggle seemed pretty bad until i had the bike turned around back up and ready to try the hill again. In all made it out unassisted with only a ding in my front rim, two smashed up panniers, a bash plate toolbox ripped clear off, lots of fresh new dings and scratches all over me and the bike. I don't think any actual damage was was done to the bike. Some coolant leaked out while it was upside down but was still above the minimum line on the coolant tank and the ding in my rim stopped leaking air as soon as I bashed it a couple times with a rock and got it mostly back into shape. It was an adventure that's for I've met some really cool people while I've been in Moab/Arches/Canyonlands. Casey and steph from salt lake came here to skydive for the first time and I saw an older couple on triumphs and we talked briefly, the woman had snapped off her clutch lever while riding a trail outside Moab "egg" something if I remember correctly. Bryce the guy who checked me in the campground is actually camped just across the way, and is traveling from Oregon. Today I made camp early in the afternoon and got some food and a couple liters of water to relax around the campsite and recover from the previous day's ride. Just like the million dollar highway a lot of the time I found myself both in awe at the beauty of the landscape and terrified at the prospect of falling off it. I'm just glad I didn't know how bad it was going into it because I would have been riding less confidently and probably spent a lot more time worrying or struggling and less time enjoying the view and off-road riding experience.

That, he's a hella of a rider, and he has the x-factor of "let me show you what I can do with YOUR bike!" I'm still not over the fact that if I push like I did on my dirt bike, when I go down (I would), it's gunna be 'spensive!

Chris Birch is an ANIMAL!!! But seriously, how long are his legs? I can barely tip toe my 1190/R with a 32" inseam, and he's flat footed with his knees bent!

My Touratech version in Orange will be on my doorstep tomorrow when I get home from work!

Damn, I just missed it! FULL Is there going to be a back up list for open spots when some guys inevitably flake ?

You should totally head into 4 Corners, off 160, and check that out. Then take the 41/162 back into Utah and turn right on 261 and head up the Moki Dugway and camp at Muley Point.
