Advice & Guides Flipfront lids deliver convenience by the bucketload. Here are the five best premium picks...

Customers have mixed feelings about the C5 helmet, citing its premium build and comfortable fit, but pointing out several drawbacks. Issues like visor leakage and condensation have been problematic, especially in rainy conditions. The soundproofing and ventilation show significant improvements over previous models, although noise and fit adjustments remain concerns for some. Several customers note dark paint chipping or defects. Despite the non-user-friendly communication system, many still appreciate its quality, acknowledging it as a worthy investment. The helmet's price and additional costs for accessories have caused some disappointment.
Good quality. Comfortable, coms very easy to fit.
As a confirmed Arai man this was a leap of faith but Arai don’t do flip faces. Overall seems good - material quality is not as good as Shoei and Arai but then again, neither was the price. Comfortable, quiet, easy to use. Only slight criticism is that they do come up slightly big
Perfect performance for money. I added intercom module and required parts are already in the helmet, so no hassle to install and works well with good sound quality of Harman Kardon speakers.
Comfy and quiet! Worth the money
Having tried most of the similar priced helmets I find this suits me for fit comfort and serviceability with the integrated mesh intercom.
It has almost no wind noise is well ventilated and the visor with pin lock has no distortion.
The feel of this when wearing in the store immediately felt good. Comfortable, flexible with the modular design and some great venting options. The original cheek pads were a little small for me, but I reordered with the deeper pads and it fits like a glove. The inbuilt speakers and intercom wiring is an added bonus so I bought the Cardo SC Edge too (saving the VAT). Great fitting and advice from the Reading store team and in fitting the intercom too.
Fit seems very slightly larger than C4 a had, so I used the Sportsbikeshop fitting service and got larger internal pads fitted foc for snug fit.
Replacement for my BMW branded helmet. Much quieter and tends to fog up much less even if the cold temperatures at the moment. Ventilation is much better. Integrated intercom is very neat.
No dislikes. Love it. Excellent serice from Sportsbikeshop. Only drawback is trying to register the extendend warranty. It's as though Schuberth have made it as difficult as possible to upload the invoice to avoid the extra 3 years warranty. I have given up trying.
Bought to go along with my E1, very quiet took a bit longer to bed in than the e1, but very happy, used on a trip to Spain and Portugal in the summer, vents are good, pinlock needed a slight tweek on the pins to make it better
I had left it a long time to renew my helmet but the difference in weight of modern helmets is great. Much kinder on your neck! After wearing it on a ride I found it much quieter than any I have had before. A snug fit but very comfortable.
Bought this helmet on a recomendation from another rider.
Exceptional quality and love the matt finish.
Have to say it is the quietest helmet I have ever had, it's extremely comfortable and with the adition of the inner ear speakers which allows for the Carda Communication system to intergrate seamlesly makes it the perfect purchase.
1st helmet arrived with a faulty speaker, changed by sportsbikeshop with no problem. Sound quality is good and fit, L59, is excellent. Easy to connect to moby. Can't speak for wind noise yet as haven't used.
I have purchased four Schuberth helmets from SPORTSBIKESHOP and can’t fault the service from them, however, Schuberth helmets, as perfect as they are, have an Achilles heal. It may just be me but all my Schuberth helmets leak through the top of visor in heavy rain. Rain drops penetrate and streak down the Pinlock, making it a challenge to see clearly, this is even worse outside of daylight hours. The fact that these helmets are excellent overall, this issue lets them down. The comms system is excellent but again, it has its flaws. The microphone gets in the way when closing the chin guard, this is a minor issue as you can push the microphone out of the way but, when making dynamic adjustments whilst riding it can be a distraction. The fitting and comfort are exceptional IMO, I know they’re not to everyone’s liking and they’re very expensive but, this is a vital piece of PPE and you get what you pay for.
This is my third Schuberth helmet very comfortable and better ventilation
After inquiring about the fit of the helmet I was contacted and reassured I could return the helmet if I found it to unsuitable. That was good enough for me. As it transpired it was a great fit.
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
I have purchased numerous motorcycle helmets over the years and this helmet is definitely the best of the best. Very comfortable with excellent visibility. Brilliant!
