Schuberth E2 helmet review
Schuberth's E1 was the connoiseur's adventure flipfront helmet. Looks like the E2 is a worthy successor...

Having only ever been able to get Shoei to fit my head properly I tried the Schuberth for the first time and found it a good fit. It is well made and the built in speakers and microphone was a bonus, no more fiddling trying to install them. I have found the chin vent is great but the top vent doesn't seem to do much, this could be because I wear a buff which covers my ears and top of head. IThe internal visor works well but haven't tried using it on the move yet. think it represents great value for money. I have no idea if the pin lock works but I suspect it will.
Really comfortable helmet. I moved to this one from a Shark skwal and the difference is mega. Lots of features, nice smooth catches, and feels great. Supposed to be one of the quietest on the market but im not so sure. Didn't really notice much difference.
My benchmark is Schuberth C5 and it's predecessor C4, both good helmets with certain flaws. C5 turned wonky and creaky after 2 years of daily commute and unfortunately developed the leaky visor issue.
E2 is better made, more refined in terms of locking mechanism and visor movement. At low and intermediate peak positions, I have experienced no rattling or significant buffering.
Ventilation is modest, better than C5, easy to fog the
sun visor in cold weather. Definitely not a top adventure hemet, more likely a touring one.
No issues with leaking visor so far. Size XXL feels slightly smaller than C5, nevertheless better fit.
Will see how it goes through winter, so far is the best helmet and a favorite for my long commute.
Feels great. Massive upgrade after AGV. Beautifully finished. Nice and quiet. Con - interior pads removal is extremely over-engineered.
This helmet is very comfortable (for me) & extremely quiet compared to my previous Nex 2, not cheap but to me worth the money.
This is the third Schubert I’ve had over a period of 13 years.
Tried lots of alternatives but putting the Schubert on it just felt right. Ventilation & visor are much improved on the C5. Visor shape seals better with rolled edge on the top, positive positioning & easy removal for cleaning. Ventilation works really well. Removed pre fitted speakers, just Velcro attached, & installed my old trusty Twins coms system which works well for satnav/phone mapping which is all I use it for.
Spectacle grooves are much more user friendly than the C3.
All in all very pleased with the C5. Usual excellent service from Sportsbike shop staff. Any thanks.
