The Schuberth C5 helmet is the first flip-up motorcycle helmet to meet the new ECE 22-06 safety standard. Billed as the quietest helmet on the market it is also therefore one of the safest helmets on the market. Schuberth have been making motorcycle safety helmets in Germany since 1954. Their focus is on safety, comfort and quietness and the C5 helmet is the most advanced helmet they have ever produced.  For the first time this helmet will have interchangeable head liners and cheek pads to allow us to give customers a custom fit. The SC2 Sena comms that can be fitted to the helmet is based on the most up to date 50S which means it uses Mesh technology. 

new for 2025 is a cheaper version of the C5 which is called the Schuberth Concept helmet. 

You can buy the Schuberth C5 helmet online from Motolegends with free UK next day delivery or visit our shop in Guildford for a custom fit.

The C5 comes in two shell sizes. XS - L out of the smaller shell and XL - XXL from the larger. In the M, L and XL helmets we can change head liners to make the fit rounder or more oval. There are also thinner and thicker cheek pads for all sizes of helmet.
