Schuberth Helmets

Coming from a Neotec 3 first impression is good coms so easy to fit didn’t need to buy different cheek pads, fit if slightly tight but will bed in nicely just need to get used to using knobs for tinted visor and flip up

This is a quiet and light lid, with the addition of ANC it makes it exceptional. The low rumble of wind noise is cancelled effectively up to around 80 then it starts to intrude, but less than without it. It doesn’t take out the higher pitched noise as well, but a decent set of buds takes care of that. Transforms my ride, ( Thruxton no screen. ) The comms are very good with a brilliant sound quality. A big decision to spend all that money, and it still hurts a bit, but I continue to be impressed and love this lid

I’m a new rider so I have nothing to measure this by other than fit testing other helmets. However, I spent a long time on choosing helmets. It’s expensive. It’s important. And an uncomfortable one can ruin all future rides.
The C5 gets loads of positive reviews. It is one of the few modular helmets I liked. I find the venting to be great - love that in the winter I can close the internal side of the front vents. It’s super comfy, for me at least. The ratchet chinstrap works for my circumstances, although I feel perhaps it’s a little far back - but that might be me as an over-thinker and with a weird chin. The sun visor is awesome - although I still don’t the direction of the slider right! The chin lift mechanism is what sold it (after comfort) as the Shoei I found slightly more difficult to open. I love the visor memory position when the chin is lifted and returned - a little thing that makes life a little easier at petrol stations etc. The comms is a doddle to fit. Love the little lips on the visor on either side of centre - again makes it a little easier to find on both sides.
I can’t tell if it’s loosened off over the rides, but it feels comfy. I have to give it a little wiggle to settle - but again that might just be a ‘tick’ I have developed. Not sure I have to do that. It’s quiet, but earplugs still needed above 40-50mph. I haven’t noticed any visibility issues on either side. I read somewhere that the pinlock fittings could be seen. Not for me.
Not much else to say. Just brilliant - as should be expected at that price.

Having spent a small fortune on Knox mesh jacket, trousers and gloves to cope with the now regular heatwaves, I found my full face helmet was now the weak point in my riding gear. My head and face were hot, even with the electric screen set low on my bike so I looked for a solution.

To be honest many of the open face helmets looked old fashioned and not in keeping with my modern bike. Then I came across the Schuberth J2 and it was a game changer. Then I came styling and design make it look at first glance like a full face helmet all be it with a narrower than usual chin guard. It is however so much more.

The huge visor pushes up clear of the face of required allowing you to get the full effect of the wind in your face and around your chin and neck.

The open face design also gives you excellent improved visibility up, down, left and right.

Being a schuberth it comes with the usual refinement of built in speakers and pre-wiring for one of the excellent optional intercom units. It also has the easy to use built in sun visor.

This helmet has absolutely transformed my hot day riding for the better.

I use this for commuting and motorway travelling, the helmet is super quiet, paired with the ANC and it is fantastic! With the larger speakers the sound quality is fantastic. An absolute pleasure to ride with!

The helmet was very comfortable right from the start. The quality is evident and ventilation is excellent. I do a lot of riding so low noise levels were my primary concern. The helmet itself doesn’t seem particularly quiet but turning on the ANC is a game changer. Wind noise is considerably reduced but road noise even more so. As a result cars can “sneak up” on you on the motorway.

The Sportbikeshop service was exactly as expected, excellent.
