Schuberth Helmets

German engineering at its finest, Schuberth motorcycle helmets

Schuberth is a German brand that has a history of producing the very best motorcycle helmets, both in terms of quality of technical design. The company was founded by Franz Schuberth in 1922, who entered the world of protective wear by producing motorcycle helmets for the German military. The company has evolved massively over the years and has expanded greatly, but has always remained true to its original mission of producing the very best head protection technology for motorcycle riders. In the late 1970s, Schuberth took the short-lived decision to specialise exclusively in the production of motorbike helmets. This move cemented their position as a leading bike helmet specialist, and they have been a trusted name in the industry ever since. They've since expanded their offering again to include helmets for other industries, such as the police, fire service, military and other motorsports, with their helmets most famously worn by Formula 1 drivers like Michael Schumacher. One of the things that sets Schuberth apart from other helmet manufacturers is their commitment to reducing wind noise. This is a common issue for riders of all types of bike, and Schuberth has keenly focused itself on technical features to help combat this problem. At the time of writing, they are the only motorcycle helmet manufacturer in the world that has its own acoustic and wind tunnel, which allows them to test and develop helmets that are specifically designed to reduce wind noise. The company takes pride in its "made in Germany" message, and all of their helmets are manufactured in their own facility in Magdeburg, Germany. Schuberth helmets are also now exported to over 50 countries worldwide and remain famous for their durability, comfort, and innovation.

Schubert Registration is hard work

Schuberth C5 - Matt Black Schuberth C5 - Matt Black
Helmet is very comfortable, a great fit for me. It is quiet and I like the venting and position of the sun visor slider. The helmet seems to be of a high quality. The X-LARGE shell is larger than my Shoei Nanotec and doesn’t fit under the seat of a Honda ADV350 - my Shoei X-L does - so check it’ll store in your top box if that’s important to you. Although the price seems excessive, I chose to have the optional Senna full comms system as there is no ‘only intercom to pillion’ option. (I have yet to try out any aspect of it as yet) Unfortunately Registration for the Schubert warranty (via internet only) was over-complicated, a real faff, and I mean a real faff, to the point I almost gave up which leads me to question whether Schubert would much prefer you not to bother! A shame, because I now lack confidence with the procedure for a warranty claim, if needed. Should I only give a four star rating because of that? Hmm! Sportsbikeshop Boston were, as ever, top of the game. Thank you

Schuberth C5 - Matt Black Schuberth C5 - Matt Black
This helmet is very comfy and as quiet as you can hope for. They have reasonably priced replacable padding which can help you get a great fit, so if it's tight/loose in any area you can adjust. The vents are great, though they feel a bit too easy to move. The main visor and sun visor are excelent.

If you feel it's too loose/tight don't give up immediately, the replacement pads can be thicker/thinner depending on your head shape and they can really help the fit.

Schuberth C5 - Gloss Silver Schuberth C5 - Gloss Silver
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.

Schuberth C5 - Gloss White Schuberth C5 - Gloss White
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.

Schuberth Concept - Tracer Blue Schuberth Concept - Tracer Blue
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

Slightly overhyped helmet

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.
