Schuberth C5

Schuberth C5 — German Engineering, Animal-Free

Schuberth builds helmets in Magdeburg, Germany. The C5 is their flagship modular — fibreglass shell, internal sun visor, and a wind-tunnel profile that earns genuine noise reduction figures.

Materials & Vegan Verification

Fibreglass composite shell (no carbon available in C5). Interior lining is Schuberth's Aircomfort padding — polyester microfibre construction throughout. No leather or suede on any component. Fully verified vegan.

Specs

• Shell: Fibreglass composite
• Weight: 1,690 g (size M)
• Ventilation: 3 intake vents (chin + 2 forehead) + 2 exhaust ports
• Visor: PINLOCK 120 MAX VISION included; integrated drop-down sun visor (UV 400)
• Certification: ECE 22.06, SHARP 4-star

Why This Helmet Works

The integrated communication prep (Schuberth SC1 / SENA) and 70 dB noise reduction claim set it apart for touring. PINLOCK 120 is the highest-spec anti-fog insert available — better than PINLOCK 70 or 30.

Modular Considerations

ECE 22.06 certifies the C5 in both open and closed positions. That matters: many modulars are only certified closed. You can legally ride visor-open in most EU jurisdictions with an ECE 22.06-rated modular.

⚠️ Verify current certification at point of purchase — ratings may vary between production runs.
