Schuberth C5 flip-up motorcycle helmet review - Sportsbikeshop 

great review, ordered mine last november, $690 canadian dollars for the blue model, can't wait for this snow to melt and take it for a ride on my 2016 BMW R1200RT. I added the SC2.

Just got mine from you guys. So far so good, love the SC2 as well.

thanks for the look!

Best helmet I’ve owned. Just had an initial issue with the sc2 connectors at back of helmet meaning I had no sound at all. Mine had dropped below tabs that hold it in place. Had to use tweezers to pull it back up and lock it in place. Only found this out after googling it.

Mate love your take on this helmet same I left sports bike but hey your the man.

Great review

Hmmm… a 3db increase in sound level is twice the sound energy - as the decibel scale is logarithmic…

Great review. I learned a lot. Nobody else I've heard goes into so many details about the C5. Unless Schuberth comes up with a solution to the misting issue and loose visors or provides a replacement for affected units, I'd be cautious about giving them my money. I've read more than one review talking about the toylike quality of their C3 or C4. But, if you never ride in the rain or don't mind fixing your lose visor, then this may be the helmet for you.

Great review, although i've had mine for nearly 6 weeks, have riden in all kinds of extreme weather and have not had a problem with mine, I love it! Beats my Neotech 2 in virtually every way!

Always wait for the Pro version. On fitting the various personalised pads should be free of charge in exchange for the original pads, especially at the price.

Had a minor issue with misting. Checked the fit of the pin lock and needed the pins adjusting slightly. No problems including 3,000miles to Nordkapp in all sorts of weather.

Exactly the same problem on my C3 pro. It's my second C3 pro (bought from you guys, great service). But the misting issue really bad. Bought a new different pinlock, the 120 variant and same problem. Can be really quite dodgy in bad weather to be fair as it steams up a lot. Something definitely not right. Seems like good luck if people don't have problems and that shouldn't be the case, the helmets aren't cheap! Shame to see the same issue here as I could have been tempted.

Great review. I have been looking at the website trying to make my mind up but unsure the size to purchase. I have a 58-58.5 cm head and am usually a medium by head probably longer shape. Also if one shell size does xs all the way up to large does this mean that if all the lining were removed these helmets would be identical and the size difference is just made up using the removable lining? So if I ordered a medium and found it was a bit tight could I just replace the medium lining with large and it would then be a large helmet? Thanks SPS

I'm in the market for a new helmet. I used to have a C3 Pro, was very satisfied with it, how it was built and how really quiet it was. I had to replace it only due to it getting old after 6 or 7 seasons. I tried some other helmets, currently having a Neotec 2, but I'm not completely satisfied with it because it's simply too loud (compared to C3 Pro). But it fits great, though. So I already planned to just get a new C3 Pro for this season, but I then realized the C5 was launched. It appears the C5 is actually more successor to C3 Pro, rather than C4 Pro (different design philosophy, and I found C4 family a bit of a failure anyway) and I'm now struggling between choosing "something new" or just go with "tried and tested". I ride naked bikes, and my only concern really is just the noise level.

Well i bought one comfy quiet all visors get wet inside in my experienced it runs down from the top , how can that ever be prevented , biggest problem is that bloody visor mechanism is so weak the visor just slams shut before 30mph , its a pain in the ass and i dont wear it often because of this

The comment from Schuberth about anti fog is not used because they want optical clarity is rubbish. A properly coated visor should have anti fog on the inside, hard coat and oleophobic (; anti smudge) all over and perfect optics if the built their own mold rather than using a off the shelf blank. Any way pin lock will screw up the optics. Any thing else is cost cutting

Hello, I have a Schuberth C5 helmet size XXL 63, I would like to make the inside of the helmet slightly smaller. I notice you are selling replacement pads for this model. What is the thickness difference in mm between the head cushion set in size 61-XL and that for the XXL 63 size? I know I can purchase thicker cheek cushions from 15mm upto 20mm or even 25mm for this model, however I would like to know if it is possible to make the inside a tighter fit elsewhere. Regards, Michael.

Seriously looking at a C5 to replace a Scorpion ADX1 as the new Scorpion replacement has an irritating inner vent closure on the inside of the chin bar that literally touches your teeth - a real bad design flaw. so looking at the C5 as a replacement helmet but still worried about the misting problem - can i ask is it possible to remove the Schuberth speakers to fit cardo speakers or are they fixed? i love the Cardo system (bought from you guys) and it is our groups choice of intercom so unlikely to change.

Hi Tony, may I tell you my wish for new video: if you could arrange a review of integrated com systems would be great: Schuberth SC2, Shoei SRL 2,Mesh,3; HJC 21b and 50b and Scorpion ExoCom. Especially the soundquality for music would be interesting. Thanks a lot in advance.

i have the c5 and sc2 unit, on the sc2 comms unit the mic doesnt click in, its far too easy to dislodge, it comes free when opening helmet, anyone else have this issue?

What helmet doesn’t end up with water inside the visor in rain ?

Do you believe Shoei will respond with a Neotec 3 in the Milan show?

This seemed like a decent helmet but I had to return it because the microphone for the SC2 wouldn't plug in.

Can I get it cheeper and lighter without the speakers? Call me old fashioned but I don't like distractions when I ride.

If you charge the unit fully then don't turn it on 4 days later the battery level is at 45% but apparently that isn't an issue. Any other items with batteries don't lose 55% of the charge in 4 days with no use

I am in the market for a new modular helmet. I own the C4 pro carbon, and I am so scared to go with schuberth again. I have seen on some reviews that the new HJC rpha 90s carbon is the quietest helmet tested. Do you know if this is true? Thanks for the great review

I have a Sena S20 Evo Comms unit, will this fit on this helmet?

Is it cardo compatible?

Xlite X1005 is a better helmet imo.

unless the built-in comms is compatible with Cardo then I don't want it.

Just removed the Shuberth C5 from box , first ride , totally disappointed , the visor is loose and can't stand open even at 40 km/hr speed 😡😡😡😡😡

Don’t buy I can’t even get the visor to close on mine very noisry

Christ are you wearing a mask in your helmet? On a motorcycle? Outside? And you have a moisture problem?
