Schuberth Helmets

Service from SBS always excellent, helmet arrived on time and undamaged. I’ve been looking for a replacement for my Shuberth C3 basic which is over 5 years old. Bought a Shoei GT Air about two years ago, good helmet but compared to the C3 its noisy and draughty. Saw the C5 for the same price as the Concept and went for it.
The C5 is comfortable, amazing field of vision with plenty of ventilation choices. Both the visor and sunvisor are easy operate. Pinlock works well and the helmet is nice and quiet beats the Shoei hands down, used it in windy weather with no issues, no rain yet.

A noticeable improvement on the C4 in terms of road noise reduction. Worth noting that the C5 has a different style of comfort padding so I actually went down a size from XXL to XL and remain a Schuberth fan.

The quick release ratchet is fine, however there are 2 safety straps that are fixed at the back of the helmet. These straps connect to the quick release ratchet and are sown in the wrong place and are also too short , making comfortable strap adjustment near impossible

retainer straps could do with adjustment buckles, pulls chip strap into your neck. Visor too loose, slaps close with bit of wind. Quietness overhyped a bit. Overall decent quality helmet and comms integration works well.

I had an old BMW front replace and tried one of those modular helmets where the chinbar goes all the way around the back but it didn't perform as hoped so I was back to the flip front option and this was as close to the BMW as I could get and it has not let me down. Fits like a glove, I bought the adjustable internal pads but don't need them so they'll be going back. It's comfy straight out of the box, good and quiet and does exactly what it says on the tin.

I have been wearing this helmet for a couple of years now (not continuously) and until recently it has been my go to lid. It is decent, a good fit, doesnt compress my cheeks etc.
But there are a few things that have slowly annoyed me. For one I find it quite loud. I know its a flip up front but still.
The flip up needs a more positive lock to keep it up. It drops under its own weight too easy unless you put the hard lock on it. This annoys me in petrol stations etc.
I thought the internal speakers were good, until I tried the Sena helmet. By comparison the C5 is tinny and even crackly id say. Phonecalls always come in too loud and distorted.
I do like the helmet. The flip front is practical and the integrated sunvisor is good and easy to operate, unlike some others I have tried.
