I thought I was going to do a "gotcha" on you when you mentioned the chin straps in relation to your "Adam's Apple". I Googled and sure enough gals do have an apple but it is normally much less pronounced than the guys. Excellent helmet comparison and timely for me because I am in the market for a flip up modular which will be my first after 50 years of riding. Thanks.
Haha, my full time job is a Speech Language Pathologist so I definitely know throat anatomy (technically it's called your hyoid bone above your thyroid notch 🤣). Happy shopping, the modular helmet will definitely come down to personal preference even though some people have very strong opinions :)
I had been a loyal fan of Scorpion Helmets for quite a while with my last one being an R320. Earlier this year I decided to treat myself and went and bought a Shoei Neotec2. The guy at the store I went to was not a big fan of the Schuberth and I had not heard a lot about them so I went with what I know. I agree with you on the chin strap padding, sometimes it feels as if it's to far down on my throat. Other than that, I love my Shoei. It's exceptionally comfortable, lightweight and has decent airflow. I don't, however, like how far back I have to mount my Cardo, but that is a problem on most helmets today. Thanks for the great information, I might just get a second modular, and go with a Schuberth.
The helmets are so close! It really comes down to personal preference I think. BUT I will say, the Schuberth DEF has better vents than the shoei so if you ever feel like the helmet gets hot, you'll def be happier with the C5. Happy riding!
I am about to buy a new helmet, have the C3 now and this one needs replacement.. gonna try the Shoei Neotec 3 Grasp TC-10 (really like the color since i drive a GS adv)but i think i will end with the C5 the same color(orange white @ 8:10) you have.. i think Shoei improved some things on the neotec 3 but i will have to find out.. keep you updated ad thanks for the nice and clear vid Gr from Holland
Please do your review after riding with the helmet on , you will be surprised that the C5 is a terrible one, the visior closes just when you reach 40 km/hr and sound level higher than it's competitor
Thanks for watching. My husband and I have both been using this helmet for a month now and neither one has had difficulties with the visor coming down. I'm logging my hours with it to see if it happens after a certain amount of use. I also find this helmet to be the same as the neotech 2 with sound level. The vents are far better in the C5 though so my personal choice is still the c5
Hi Nasser. I also immediately discovered this behavior of the visor as well. I came from a previous Schuberth that did not experience this. My guess is that it may be due to a couple variables-- the tightness of the mechanism and the shape of the helmet. I notice the position of my head when I ride will make a huge difference at the speed when the visor will auto-close. I'm used to it now but will admit it was startling the first couple times.
@@jasonscottstone my husband's helmet started doing this, we are getting ready to put an O ring in to see if that fixes the issue. Stay tuned for that video :)
Also few weeks ago , after driving for about 45 min under heavy rain, that cloth strap under the chin strap absorbed a good amount of water that made all my inner helmet wet and ruined the right speaker
Lol right...since I was pointing to the WRONG SIDE!! you're the first to notice that haha. I def have used the com system A LOT since this video. Thanks for the comment and the laugh :)
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Haha. Which coms have you got, integrated Sena? Any good? I’ve just bought the fodsports fx6 as meant to be their loudest but struggle to hear anything over 67mph. Ideally looking for something that’ll be clear at 90mph with plugs as going touring. New helmet too so torn between the C5 and the Neotec2/3. Both Sena ready but if they’re not gonna do what I want I may go cardo and choose a different helmet 🤓
Very good comparison video. I was close to pulling the trigger on a C5 but what changed my mind was the many reviews that others said about the visor falling down on its own while riding. Have you experienced this? Thanks
I didn't find this out until after I purchased the helmet. So far I've had no issues but I'm tracking my hours with the helmet in preparation for a follow up review :) thanks for watching! What helmet did you end up buying?
I’ve had the C5 for about a month and have not experienced the sun visor moving on it’s own. I bought it to replace a Neotec 2 and prefer the C5 in every way.
@@markthomason8396 oh, interesting, mine has very positive detents and stays in any position. I’ve had it for a month, maybe they updated the design? I bought it to replace a Neotec 2.
Don't really understand if you are agreeing or disagreeing with Adams apples. Adams apple is layman's turn for hyoid bone. All humans have hyoid bones :)
thanks for the review i to am after a c5 or the neotec 2 cant make my mind up...the c5 has the latest test cert the neotec is still on the last test (25) c5 (26) the neotec will probably be updated shortly. can you tell me which of these two helmets gives you the best (largest ) view through the visor thanks
thanks for that i am leaning towards the c5 had a c3 pro previous no problems some reports of the c5 visor becoming loose after being used for a while though
@@effyzzr yes I heard the visor gets loose after awhile too but my husband went with the neotech and he is regretting it. The vents are way better in the C5. He really liked that you could just crack the C5 visor a tiny bit and the memory visor is a bonus too. Again, I think it comes down to personal preference though cause I've met ppl who swear by the neotech.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures i have seen video on you tube were someone has removed the visor and refit it back after inserting a rubber o ring between the visor and the helmet . thing is you shouldnt have to do this on a new premium helmet .
I have the C5, you didn’t mention the extra vent in the chin bar is brilliant, as it gives extra air flow for fresh air when breathing and helps with defogging glasses. Looks so cool in the blue and white version on this video, that’s the one I have.
Of course the manufacturers want you to "replace" your helmet every 5 years... lol Shoei makes a VERY high quality and supremely comfortable Helmet and at $700.00 for my Neotec II I think I will be hanging on to mine for probably 10 years if of course I don't drop it on to a hard surface like concrete or asphalt! I will probably also wash and or replace the inner pads at some point too.
In my opinion the Schubert is a much better looking helmet from outside appearance than the Shoei. Both of these helmets unfortunately are greatly overpriced for what they are made of. It’s sad these two helmets are considered top quality. I expect much better with my money for these helmets than what you receive.
One thing you didn't mention is that both helmets have exchangeable inner linings of different thicknesses to help get a perfect fit. The Schuberth ones come at an additional cost but here in the UK there is at least one retailer (Motolegends in Guildford) that doesn't charge for these when fitting them to a new helmet. Also the Schuberth is tested to the newer and more rigorous ECE 22.06 standard while the Shoei is 22.05 - but the standards are different in the USA. It was that, and the fact that the Schuberth is available with a peak as the E2, that swung the decision for me; the difference having that shade makes when riding into a low sun is incredible. Might look weird on a sportsbike or a retro, though!
I have the C5 and the Neotec 2 and the Shoe is simply a better helmet. Why? The visor detents on the C5 are very light so it doesn't stay in a selected position well at all. Further, the down "lock" position depends on the visor snapping into the helmet on both sides and the process doesn't work well at all in practice. Both very frustrating points for me. This is why I went to the Neotec 2. I tried two C5's and they both had this issue. My only complaint on the Neotec2 is the amount of wind that comes through the lower vent when open. It's a lot and there is only one setting. The upcoming Neotec 3 addresses this point.
The chin curtain in the Neotec 2 is removable, just have to pop the 2 corners on the chin spoiler and it slides right out, then pop the chin spoiler back in place.
Been riding with the C5 for a year now, very nice helmet, quiet. Visor and screen tend to loosen up a bit during usage, not always bad, but sometimes i wish they would be a bit sturdier. Things tend to move inadvertently from time to time. It is a pretty quiet helmet, but I still put some nice Alpine earplugs for extra noise reduction.
The Shoei is in a different league to the Schuberth on many levels. To begin with the Shoei wont come open if you chin the ground, the Schuberth's opening mech is extremely vulnerable. The opening mech should work by pulling down, as on the Shoei. It should not be possible to open the chin bar with a mere stab of the finger. The P/J switch on the C5 is tiny, stiff, and very sharp, a glove ripper in fact. With the Shoei, no messing around, you just push the chin bar up one notch. The strap fastener on the Shoei is tucked away where it can not be caught by a twig as you slide through a hedge, the C5's hangs lower and is again vulnerable. As if that is not enough they then fit a lasso to the mech release to improve its chances of catching something. Overall the Schuberth, fit notwithstanding, is a poor second.
The Schuberth chin bar will not open with the stab of a finger. It takes a very deliberate push of button. I have to use thumb and whole hand to get button in far enough to release
@@ConcoursOne Sadly it will and does. I sell motorcycle helmets, I demonstrate this failing to potential customers on a daily basis, using just a stab of the finger.
@@MrPleasureMaker Doesn't it just Andy! But 22.06 did nothing to force manufacturers to pursue good design principles, mostly just thicker, and therefore heavier shells. Seriously, the C5 is one of the laziest designs I have seen in the last 40 years in the trade. Even a £90 Frank Thomas helmet has a safer opening mech. I will make a video and I will post it on YT for clarification. I make it quite clear to my potential customers when they ask which is the best flippie, I tell them that I might borrow one or two of the lesser flip fronts, Nolan, RPHA90S, for example, but the Shoei is the only one I would actually pay money for. All the best.
nice review, I'm definitley in the market for a new modular but I'm waiting for the HJC RPHA 91 second gen to make it stateside before I decide, that helmet looks like a game changer
the pre prepped C5 which is easier to plug and play for the SENA system is also a lot cheaper then the coms system for neotec helmet which you have to dismantle to connect everything.
I wish they would come without the com system, I ride by myself and don't want to spend the money and want the weight. Get rid of the horrible gutar noise.
You have to buy the comm to put in. Are you saying it's loud to keep the comm space empty? That's a very interesting observation about the helmet if so!
Stumbled upon your great video and also chose the C5. After trying both helmets on multiple visits to several retailers I came to the conclusion that my head is better suited for the shape of the C5 than the Neotec. I rode with the C5 for the first time this past weekend for a few hours and enjoyed every minute of it. They are both fine helmets.
Thanks for commenting! Yeah I think both helmets are GREAT and it just comes down to personal preference and feel :) glad you're enjoying your new helmet!!
@Melissa's Motorcycle Adventures Just rode again for a few hours and still impressed with the C5 comfort level and amount of quietness. I'm still happy! Like I've said, everyone needs to try multiple manufacturers helmets to get the correct shape for one's own head.
Nice review. Very good observations. I haven't tried the C5, but I've been using the Neotec2 for quite a while now and can confirm all your observations. One other thing I have observed is that the bottom edge of the shield on the Noetec2 is kind of thick and does interfere with the vision if I keep it one notch open - which is the typical way I ride in the summers to get sufficient venting. This is at least compared to other helmets (Nolans, AGV, Schuberth) I have owned before. The Schuberth S2 I used to own had the sun visor come completely lose while I was riding, giving me almost a heart-attack. So I've stayed clear of them for a while now, but I may give a chance to the new E2 (which is a C5 with a beak).
Thanks for watching and commenting! I have heardany people say the visor gets loose on the schuberth. I'm tracking my hours riding and I'm hopeful that doesn't happen. But if it does, I'll be sure to have review it :) happy riding!
❤ good review i do not remember how old my open Shoei helmet was but my new schuberth c5 hjälm ⛑ med sena sc2 intercom serves me well after updating the firmware on cable connection to your computer, you can then easily connect to hi Siri (apple) and hi Google (android) by tribble klick the mid button 👍
I’m currently looking for a new helmet since my Shoei Neotec now hurts the top of my head and really puts pressure on my ears. I’ve tried the Neotec ll and same concern with where the ratchet straps pushes against my neck. Just curious what size you wear in your Schuberth C5 and no bobble head feeling with only two shell sizes?
I'm a size x small. It's the lightest helmet I'm ever worn (except when my go pro is on 🤣🤣) and feels like it's just part of my head. Good luck in your shopping! Let me know what you get
I have the Shoei Neotec 2. I was also torn between these two helmets. The Shoei is in stores whithin 70 miles from me. The Schuberth, forget about it! Can't find it anywhere! I was told that the Schuberth is not like other helmet fits. The Shoei fit great so I got it. Sweet helmet but I wish the manufacturers would not fixate on one brand of coms. I hear from a lot of riders that the Cardo is a better system. Thanks for posting this Melissa!
Yes I totally agree cardo is better and wish the manufacturers would not focus on one brand. I miss my cardo a lot but for now I'm going to stick with the senna cause I like it being integrated
As a female rider it's so great to see a woman doing these, thank you! Great comparison on the helmets, I have a Neotec 2 and I'll be looking to replace it soon. Can you please say what the noise is like with the C5?
Thanks!! The c5, It's super quiet. Is it quieter than the Neotech? I'd say it's the same. They are both superior helmets in my opinion and it will come down to personal preference :)
i've had a cheaper helmet for a while. now that I know what I want I am willing to spend some dough for a long lasting helmet. hopefully the schuberth c5 will fit my big noggin. thanks for the look.
Great review. The ratchet strap and strap placement on the Neotec 2 made it unusable due to the pressure on my throat and adam's apple. I very much appreciate your insight.
Very helpful video vs those that get too deep in the weeds with information that won't affect your decision. I already have a Harley branded modular but may upgrade to a premium helmet in the future.
I’m not a fan of the built-in com system because I can’t make built in speakers work for me. Sometimes I have found that the speaker pockets are not directly over my ears. I have found that I like a universal com (Packtalk) with earbuds or in-ear monitors because the in-ear monitors act as earplugs and I can keep the volume down and still hear. I can also move it to another helmet is necessary.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures It is streamlined. One thing that I don't understand is the cost of the system. The antennas, wiring and speakers are in the helmet already. Why does it cost so much for the unit, remote and microphone? I purchased a new helmet mounting kit for my Packtalk Black and it cost a surprising amount for speakers, that I didn't use, microphone and mounting hardware. That was already in the helmet for Schuberth's SC2..
I have a Neotec from 2017 that still has the D-rings. Tried the Schubert E2 which is essentially a C5 and had the same issue with the chin strap and my throat. With the Neotech 3 coming out soon in the US, retailers are slashing the prices on the 2s (about 200 bucks). I’m tempted to get another 2, but I’m concerned about the chin/throat issue. My current 2 has been great. Maybe I’ll just get some new pads and hold on for another season or two. Thanks for the review.
I have had the C5 for a few months. The visor was finicky to close tightly(one side would latch only) The fix is a little bit of silicone spray on a q tip and lubricate two little ramps near hinge area that are the latch close on visor. Same silicone application on sun visor slide makes both as smooth as you would expect. Helmet is quiet One con for me is the detention that holds visor open could be stronger as wind will knock it closed. (Not chin bar). After 5000miles I am still happy with purchase
Yes I have just recently been noticing the visor shuts on it’s own in some circumstances. I heard adding an O ring remedies that so I’m going to give that a shot. Stay tuned!
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures It's such a pity they still do that. I cured it on my C3 by adding a round adhesive bump on each mechanism of the visor (left and right). Works great.
A little tip for closing the modular w/boom mic, just put the mic between your lips, close the helmet then push the mic out with your tongue or reach in with your finger. I like to push out with my tongue then the mic is lined up for sure voice pick up. Just a thought.
Thank you for your comparison review! Did you eventually install the com unit for your C5? If so, how do you like it? Any tips to keep the boom mic connected and positioned well?
Yes I did! I think cardo is a little better as far as ability to communicate farther apart but that is just a "feeling" and not something I have fully tested out. When I put it in open mesh mode though everything works smoothly. It works perfectly with my android phone for music, calls, directions, etc and battery life is very good. I keep the boom mic bent up so it's basically on my cheek. Haven't had any issues with sound quality or putting the helmet on/off in that position.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks! I find that the boom mic doesn't 'click in' to stay in place. Gravity wants to pull it loose. Perhaps I am missing something really basic, like it should be then covered by some of the lining or the like.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Quite. Most of the time I ride solo and maintain my hearing with Apple AirPod Pro2s, so am not using the speakers nor the mic. I leave the mic at home. However, if I had the mic installed full time, I'd be wary of losing it for sure. It doesn't inspire confidence. In retrospect I should have saved my money and not bought the com unit given my use case.
I have no issues with my glasses. But I do use Flying Eyes glasses which conform to your head more easily. My husband doesn't wear Flying Eyes and has the same helmet with no issues on his glasses
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks to you I smartly tried them both today. Both fit in Med equally as well btw. Here MY ME MINE reasons why I purchase the Shoei: It was impossible to remove or put on the C5 without first flipping up the chin piece; the Shoei could be removed and put back on like a regular full face helmet with out issue. The neck strap on both helmets are fat, bulky and press oddly on the throat but the C5 pressed worse for me being actually kind of, not painful, but disconcerting with discomfort. The C5 top vent was quite difficult to move and not 'grippy' for glove operation IMO. The C5 chin skirt piece was more obtrusive when flipping the chin piece back down. Don't need or want the included speakers, wiring and such. I'll install and use my preferred ones.
I purchased the Schuberth C5 a few months ago and love it ! I’ve been wearing Arai helmets for decades and have no complaints but the C5 is different in so many ways. Extremely comfortable, outstanding vision field looks great and it’s like 2 helmets in one. I highly recommend 👍
Actually there is a Scorpion that comes with built in comm. I think it was the 930. Also modular helmet. I went to a store and tried it, but it's not for my head shape, unfortunately, even though I currently run a different Scorpion, that fits me.
Thanks for the review of these two helmets. I own both. In relation to some of your comments my findings personally are : - the chinstrap angle is different but in my case - as is the case for some of the people that ride with it - this does not chafe or irritate the neck or throat area; - fair point on cracking open the visor, and the Schoei is a little tougher, but my Schuberth would open violently at times when doing a shoulder check; - the slider to open/close the sun visor is a little harder to find on the Schoei in the beginning but on the Schuberth it broke fairly quickly and couldn't be fixed; - the pins holding the padding around the base on the Schuberth also broke; - I find the Schoei is quieter; - I dislike Sena ... a lot and am still looking for a better and more affordable system. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Thanks for all your comments!! Fortunately I ride a lot and I haven't had any of those issues with my C5. I did add an O ring to the visor to keep the visor from closing on its own though. I agree about Sena. I felt like my Cardo was better but I've gotten used to Sena's quirks for now :)
I know it preference, but im not sure why some people prefer integrated comms. They are usually subpar and more expensive, and you cant move them among different helmets. I have a touring helmet, ADV, and a retro helmet.
Don't leave your gloves in your helmet. If there's moisture on them, you'll start growing stuff in your helmet that you won't like, and has a distinctive odor.
Thanks for watching and commenting! And btw the way, actually yes women do. My full time job is a speech therapist. Everyone has a thyroid notch which in layman's terms is an Adam's apple :)
Thanks for a very informative video! I'm in the market for a new modular helmet, and I know the Shoei fits me well. Time to try on a Schuberth, I think. Plus, thanks for letting me know about the lack of phone calling support on the Sena 2 comm in the Shoei. That's important to me.
Happy shopping! Let me know what you decide. You should also look up my "C5 sucks?" follow up video for a few tips if you end up thinking you want the c5 :)
@@melissasmotorcycleadventuresI tried on the C5, but it didn't fit my head as well as the Neotec. So that was the deciding factor. Enjoy your new helmet!
I own a Neotec 2 for 3 years now. Worn a lot of other brands but nothing compares. The Chin curtain should not catch your chin. Maybe you have a shape of head or lower jaw which is not suited for the Neotec 2. There are multiple chin curtains for sale for if you would like more breathability. Also the chinstrap is very comfortable for most people. I know a lot of people who own a Neotec 2 and none of them have a problem with the chinstrap position. Most of the other complaints you have about the Neotec are just related to the fact you arent used to the helmet. When wearing it for a while you get used to the positioning of sunvisor etc. When wearing it for longer then 5 days you know how to open and shut it without catching the microphone with the chinguard. Also the helmet does click when it closes its just caused by your speed at which you close it. If you close something so slow ofcourse it doesnt click as hard. The minimal latch on the Neotec actually works really well. Just unlatch the visor from the locked position and ventilation improves in such a way that there is no need for ‘cracking the visor open’ as all these desktop testers complain about. Actually when you have placed the noseguard (which you haven’t) and you open the front vent it blows the visor clear all the time. Also when you shut the helmet and the visor stays up like the C5 it means you now have to close it twice to close it in case of entering a cloud of dust or rain up ahead. Please have fun with the schuberth but just don’t act like you tested stuff or advise people to buy one or the other while you havent even unboxed it or rode around in it for a while.
Thanks for your feedback. It was apparent in my video that I hadn't worn it and that it was a personal choice. Most helmets are a personal choice, I'm glad you are happy with your decision! :)
Loved the content, but I do have some feedback I'd love to give you. 1) You've got a great vibe, and a great diction / voice. 2) Your thoughts are really well organized, and the dialog feels very genuine. 3) You could use more B roll, more stock video (Story blocks might be an investment if you're looking to make this a long time project). 4) Visually although you're lovely, the camera becomes a bit boring fast trying new angles, different shots, and B roll might help retention. I really think you've got what's needed to start a successful motorcycle channel on RUclips, I'll subscribe because this was really great.
I REALLY appreciate your feedback. I'm constantly trying to improve my videos with each one I make and I will definitely work on "jazzing it up" more. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I have a C5. A couple of things : 1. I thought the visor position retention when opening and closing the flip front was a gimmick, but it is actually very nice. I prefer it that way. 2. The visor has a tiny gap in the very last step before completely closed, this is a very nice feature. A big plus for me in colder and even not so cold weather 3. The flip mechanism works very well, open and close. but .... 1. Like with my BMW system 7 (which is also a schuberth below the skin) the helmet shakes a little side to side if the visor is cracked open slightly, from about 70kph and up. Very annoying. The shaking stops the moment you completely shut the visor. My old helmet does not do this. (A plus though - with the system 7 the shaking increased with speed and became intolerable by about 100kph. The C5 does not - shaking remains about the same all the way up to 120kph, so that's a big improvement. I am slowly getting used to it, pity I have to though) 2. The pinlock insert is not as effective as my last helmet - it fogs up a bit on out breaths at slow speed if the visor is closed. I think this is partly because the helmet seals very well, so a plus and a minus. 3. Closing the visor is not always easy. Sometimes it closes ok, sometimes I have to support the bottom of the helmet with my shoulder and press really hard for the visor to fully close. Slightly annoying but not a big deal I guess. (I have seen several complaints about closing the C5 visor) Overall I am happy with the C5. Would I buy it again? tough call. I think so. In the end more plusses than minuses.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I agree with everything you say. I'm also not as big of a fan of the senna comm system compared to cardo. I'm still happy with my decision. The vents on the head and chin are the best on the c5 which is life changing for hot weather :)
BMW 7 is not made anymore from Schubert! And is a crap helmet my one go off flipper on motorway at 70 mph…. 😅 I go to bmw dealer and they said sorry we don’t cover in warranty 🎉
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Cheers on the notches. Could you please check and report back about the detents on the visor? Like to ride open visors and heard that the C5 is pretty weak in that regard. Shuts easily, etc. ...thanks!

Shoei has a removable chin curtain, and a summer or winter curtain if you choose...
I did know you completely remove the chin curtain but did not know there were options for different sized chin curtains. Thanks for commenting!
I had been a loyal fan of Scorpion Helmets for quite a while with my last one being an R320. Earlier this year I decided to treat myself and went and bought a Shoei Neotec2. The guy at the store I went to was not a big fan of the Schuberth and I had not heard a lot about them so I went with what I know. I agree with you on the chin strap padding, sometimes it feels as if it's to far down on my throat. Other than that, I love my Shoei. It's exceptionally comfortable, lightweight and has decent airflow. I don't, however, like how far back I have to mount my Cardo, but that is a problem on most helmets today. Thanks for the great information, I might just get a second modular, and go with a Schuberth.
The helmets are so close! It really comes down to personal preference I think. BUT I will say, the Schuberth DEF has better vents than the shoei so if you ever feel like the helmet gets hot, you'll def be happier with the C5. Happy riding!
Flip-up-helmets are called “sausage-eater-helmet” (“Korvätarhjälm”) here in Sweden :-)
Will get a C5 next time….
Haha thanks for the fun fact!!!!

Very good comparison video. I was close to pulling the trigger on a C5 but what changed my mind was the many reviews that others said about the visor falling down on its own while riding. Have you experienced this? Thanks
I didn't find this out until after I purchased the helmet. So far I've had no issues but I'm tracking my hours with the helmet in preparation for a follow up review :) thanks for watching! What helmet did you end up buying?
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures I haven't updated my helmet yet. I'm still using my C3Pro but would like to buy the Neotec2 or C5.
I’ve had the C5 for about a month and have not experienced the sun visor moving on it’s own. I bought it to replace a Neotec 2 and prefer the C5 in every way.
@@CAAlvarez602 Not the internal sun visor but the external clear visor. Glad your not having any issues.
@@markthomason8396 oh, interesting, mine has very positive detents and stays in any position. I’ve had it for a month, maybe they updated the design? I bought it to replace a Neotec 2.
Amazing review ..!
- Huh Joey, women don't have Adam's apples

- You guys are messing with me, right?
- ... YEAH, YEAH, of course.
Don't really understand if you are agreeing or disagreeing with Adams apples. Adams apple is layman's turn for hyoid bone. All humans have hyoid bones :)
I Cardo system will I be able to install on the Schuberth ...?
You can install any Cardo system externally but you cannot install a Cardo system in the built in Schuberth. It's only compatible with a Sena
thanks for the review i to am after a c5 or the neotec 2 cant make my mind up...the c5 has the latest test cert the neotec is still on the last test (25) c5 (26) the neotec will probably be updated shortly. can you tell me which of these two helmets gives you the best (largest ) view through the visor thanks
Hey Keith! I definitely felt the schuberth had a larger field of view. It's a tough decision between them overall though!
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures
thanks for that i am leaning towards the c5 had a c3 pro previous no problems some reports of the c5 visor becoming loose after being used for a while though
@@effyzzr yes I heard the visor gets loose after awhile too but my husband went with the neotech and he is regretting it. The vents are way better in the C5. He really liked that you could just crack the C5 visor a tiny bit and the memory visor is a bonus too. Again, I think it comes down to personal preference though cause I've met ppl who swear by the neotech.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures i have seen video on you tube were someone has removed the visor and refit it back after inserting a rubber o ring between the visor and the helmet . thing is you shouldnt have to do this on a new premium helmet .
Neotec2 any day.....
It's def a good helmet :)
I have the Neotec II and have been very happy with. But I agree that the chin strap is too close to my neck.
I have the C5, you didn’t mention the extra vent in the chin bar is brilliant, as it gives extra air flow for fresh air when breathing and helps with defogging glasses. Looks so cool in the blue and white version on this video, that’s the one I have.
You are so right! The vents are fabulous in the C5! Thanks for commenting :)
The Shoei does have a vent in the chin bar that can be opened or closed. It also has a removable chin curtain.
Of course the manufacturers want you to "replace" your helmet every 5 years... lol
Shoei makes a VERY high quality and supremely comfortable Helmet and at $700.00 for my Neotec II I think I will be hanging on to mine for probably 10 years if of course I don't drop it on to a hard surface like concrete or asphalt! I will probably also wash and or replace the inner pads at some point too.
Uhm yeah I think most of keep our helmets way longer than 5 yrs but I figured I should probably only state what is recommended :)
In my opinion the Schubert is a much better looking helmet from outside appearance than the Shoei. Both of these helmets unfortunately are greatly overpriced for what they are made of. It’s sad these two helmets are considered top quality. I expect much better with my money for these helmets than what you receive.
One thing you didn't mention is that both helmets have exchangeable inner linings of different thicknesses to help get a perfect fit. The Schuberth ones come at an additional cost but here in the UK there is at least one retailer (Motolegends in Guildford) that doesn't charge for these when fitting them to a new helmet. Also the Schuberth is tested to the newer and more rigorous ECE 22.06 standard while the Shoei is 22.05 - but the standards are different in the USA. It was that, and the fact that the Schuberth is available with a peak as the E2, that swung the decision for me; the difference having that shade makes when riding into a low sun is incredible. Might look weird on a sportsbike or a retro, though!
Great points!!!
I have the C5 and the Neotec 2 and the Shoe is simply a better helmet. Why? The visor detents on the C5 are very light so it doesn't stay in a selected position well at all. Further, the down "lock" position depends on the visor snapping into the helmet on both sides and the process doesn't work well at all in practice. Both very frustrating points for me. This is why I went to the Neotec 2. I tried two C5's and they both had this issue. My only complaint on the Neotec2 is the amount of wind that comes through the lower vent when open. It's a lot and there is only one setting. The upcoming Neotec 3 addresses this point.
Thanks for the comparison. I've been looking at both of these helmets. New Sub
Happy shopping! Let me know what you decide on!
The chin curtain in the Neotec 2 is removable, just have to pop the 2 corners on the chin spoiler and it slides right out, then pop the chin spoiler back in place.
I have same helmet too a Scorpion exo t1200 touring But stop making it because of noise!
I have the C5.. Like it with the exception that I think for the price the Visor is Weak... closes on its own at about 75mph.
I agree with you! I'm working on a fix for the visor. Stay tuned for the video :)
Been riding with the C5 for a year now, very nice helmet, quiet. Visor and screen tend to loosen up a bit during usage, not always bad, but sometimes i wish they would be a bit sturdier. Things tend to move inadvertently from time to time. It is a pretty quiet helmet, but I still put some nice Alpine earplugs for extra noise reduction.
Thank you for your feedback. I will keep this in mind. My scorpion I always needed ear plugs so I'm used to having to use them anyway 🤣
The Shoei is in a different league to the Schuberth on many levels.
To begin with the Shoei wont come open if you chin the ground, the Schuberth's opening mech is extremely vulnerable. The opening mech should work by pulling down, as on the Shoei. It should not be possible to open the chin bar with a mere stab of the finger.
The P/J switch on the C5 is tiny, stiff, and very sharp, a glove ripper in fact. With the Shoei, no messing around, you just push the chin bar up one notch.
The strap fastener on the Shoei is tucked away where it can not be caught by a twig as you slide through a hedge, the C5's hangs lower and is again vulnerable. As if that is not enough they then fit a lasso to the mech release to improve its chances of catching something.
Overall the Schuberth, fit notwithstanding, is a poor second.
Thanks for your opinion!
The Schuberth chin bar will not open with the stab of a finger. It takes a very deliberate push of button. I have to use thumb and whole hand to get button in far enough to release
@@ConcoursOne Sadly it will and does. I sell motorcycle helmets, I demonstrate this failing to potential customers on a daily basis, using just a stab of the finger.
@@donk1822 Makes you wonder how come the C5 is 22.06 compliant if it opens that easy?
@@MrPleasureMaker Doesn't it just Andy!
But 22.06 did nothing to force manufacturers to pursue good design principles, mostly just thicker, and therefore heavier shells.
Seriously, the C5 is one of the laziest designs I have seen in the last 40 years in the trade. Even a £90 Frank Thomas helmet has a safer opening mech.
I will make a video and I will post it on YT for clarification.
I make it quite clear to my potential customers when they ask which is the best flippie, I tell them that I might borrow one or two of the lesser flip fronts, Nolan, RPHA90S, for example, but the Shoei is the only one I would actually pay money for.
All the best.
I just bought C5 pretty close call between these two but schubert wan because it is a bit less noisy...
I agree, its definitely a tad quieter than the Shoei. I'm testing out a fix for the visor closing in wind tomorrow. Wish me luck!
nice review, I'm definitley in the market for a new modular but I'm waiting for the HJC RPHA 91 second gen to make it stateside before I decide, that helmet looks like a game changer
Thanks! Gotta take a look at that helmet...you know your stuff so I'm sure it's a good one!
HJC RPHA 91 Noise isolation n1 helmet!
ruclips.net/video/WM7T7_wH_W4/видео.html
I dream to get moto like u have
The C5 is also quieter (IMO considerably) than the Shoei. At speeds above about 50 mph the Shoei is *_loud_*
For sure!!!
That is a deal breaker for me. My ears super sensitive to the wind noise
@@trompelemonde4728 try ear plugs. AlpineStars do a set which work well, so do SoftVox.
the pre prepped C5 which is easier to plug and play for the SENA system is also a lot cheaper then the coms system for neotec helmet which you have to dismantle to connect everything.
Totally agree!!!!
I wish they would come without the com system, I ride by myself and don't want to spend the money and want the weight.
Get rid of the horrible gutar noise.
You have to buy the comm to put in. Are you saying it's loud to keep the comm space empty? That's a very interesting observation about the helmet if so!
C5 is the better one for sure. Heck, just the visor memory alone is sooooooo good.
AMEN to that!!!!!
Stumbled upon your great video and also chose the C5. After trying both helmets on multiple visits to several retailers I came to the conclusion that my head is better suited for the shape of the C5 than the Neotec. I rode with the C5 for the first time this past weekend for a few hours and enjoyed every minute of it. They are both fine helmets.
Thanks for commenting! Yeah I think both helmets are GREAT and it just comes down to personal preference and feel :) glad you're enjoying your new helmet!!
@Melissa's Motorcycle Adventures Just rode again for a few hours and still impressed with the C5 comfort level and amount of quietness. I'm still happy! Like I've said, everyone needs to try multiple manufacturers helmets to get the correct shape for one's own head.
Nice review. Very good observations. I haven't tried the C5, but I've been using the Neotec2 for quite a while now and can confirm all your observations. One other thing I have observed is that the bottom edge of the shield on the Noetec2 is kind of thick and does interfere with the vision if I keep it one notch open - which is the typical way I ride in the summers to get sufficient venting. This is at least compared to other helmets (Nolans, AGV, Schuberth) I have owned before. The Schuberth S2 I used to own had the sun visor come completely lose while I was riding, giving me almost a heart-attack. So I've stayed clear of them for a while now, but I may give a chance to the new E2 (which is a C5 with a beak).
Thanks for watching and commenting! I have heardany people say the visor gets loose on the schuberth. I'm tracking my hours riding and I'm hopeful that doesn't happen. But if it does, I'll be sure to have review it :) happy riding!
❤ good review i do not remember how old my open Shoei helmet was but my new schuberth c5 hjälm ⛑ med sena sc2 intercom serves me well after updating the firmware on cable connection to your computer, you can then easily connect to hi Siri (apple) and hi Google (android) by tribble klick the mid button 👍
I’m currently looking for a new helmet since my Shoei Neotec now hurts the top of my head and really puts pressure on my ears. I’ve tried the Neotec ll and same concern with where the ratchet straps pushes against my neck. Just curious what size you wear in your Schuberth C5 and no bobble head feeling with only two shell sizes?
I'm a size x small. It's the lightest helmet I'm ever worn (except when my go pro is on 🤣🤣) and feels like it's just part of my head. Good luck in your shopping! Let me know what you get
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks, I'm a size small and will let you know what I end up with.
Finally settled on an AGV Tourmodular, size small, white. Hope to get it this week, fingers crossed this is it.
@@liset6347 awesome!!!! Happy riding!!!
💥 And the memory feature of the visor when flipping up and down the chin bar. Nice review
Thanks for commenting and watching!
I have the Shoei Neotec 2. I was also torn between these two helmets. The Shoei is in stores whithin 70 miles from me. The Schuberth, forget about it! Can't find it anywhere! I was told that the Schuberth is not like other helmet fits. The Shoei fit great so I got it. Sweet helmet but I wish the manufacturers would not fixate on one brand of coms. I hear from a lot of riders that the Cardo is a better system. Thanks for posting this Melissa!
Yes I totally agree cardo is better and wish the manufacturers would not focus on one brand. I miss my cardo a lot but for now I'm going to stick with the senna cause I like it being integrated
Very useful real world review thanks for posting 😎
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have the neotec. It is loud to me. C5 looks nice.
As a female rider it's so great to see a woman doing these, thank you! Great comparison on the helmets, I have a Neotec 2 and I'll be looking to replace it soon.
Can you please say what the noise is like with the C5?
Thanks!! The c5, It's super quiet. Is it quieter than the Neotech? I'd say it's the same. They are both superior helmets in my opinion and it will come down to personal preference :)
Thank you! @@melissasmotorcycleadventures
i've had a cheaper helmet for a while. now that I know what I want I am willing to spend some dough for a long lasting helmet. hopefully the schuberth c5 will fit my big noggin. thanks for the look.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I have a small 54" head so I can't help with big noggins 🤣🤣 I hope whatever upgrade you get works well for you!
Good review of points not mentioned in other reviews. 👍
Great review. The ratchet strap and strap placement on the Neotec 2 made it unusable due to the pressure on my throat and adam's apple. I very much appreciate your insight.
Thanks for watching and commenting! What helmet did you end up with?
Very helpful video vs those that get too deep in the weeds with information that won't affect your decision. I already have a Harley branded modular but may upgrade to a premium helmet in the future.
Thank you for commenting! Happy riding!
I’m not a fan of the built-in com system because I can’t make built in speakers work for me. Sometimes I have found that the speaker pockets are not directly over my ears. I have found that I like a universal com (Packtalk) with earbuds or in-ear monitors because the in-ear monitors act as earplugs and I can keep the volume down and still hear. I can also move it to another helmet is necessary.
Yeah I don't love the senna com system compared to cardo but I do like it's stream lined look
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures It is streamlined. One thing that I don't understand is the cost of the system. The antennas, wiring and speakers are in the helmet already. Why does it cost so much for the unit, remote and microphone? I purchased a new helmet mounting kit for my Packtalk Black and it cost a surprising amount for speakers, that I didn't use, microphone and mounting hardware. That was already in the helmet for Schuberth's SC2..
Shoei had great color, that helped me to decide
I have a Neotec from 2017 that still has the D-rings. Tried the Schubert E2 which is essentially a C5 and had the same issue with the chin strap and my throat. With the Neotech 3 coming out soon in the US, retailers are slashing the prices on the 2s (about 200 bucks). I’m tempted to get another 2, but I’m concerned about the chin/throat issue. My current 2 has been great. Maybe I’ll just get some new pads and hold on for another season or two.
Thanks for the review.
Great informative video. Thanks Ms Melissa.
I have had the C5 for a few months.
The visor was finicky to close tightly(one side would latch only)
The fix is a little bit of silicone spray on a q tip and lubricate two little ramps near hinge area that are the latch close on visor.
Same silicone application on sun visor slide makes both as smooth as you would expect.
Helmet is quiet
One con for me is the detention that holds visor open could be stronger as wind will knock it closed. (Not chin bar).
After 5000miles I am still happy with purchase
Yes I have just recently been noticing the visor shuts on it’s own in some circumstances. I heard adding an O ring remedies that so I’m going to give that a shot. Stay tuned!
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures It's such a pity they still do that. I cured it on my C3 by adding a round adhesive bump on each mechanism of the visor (left and right). Works great.
Good Choice for You - I will go for the Shoei this time
Definitely comes down to personal preference :)
A little tip for closing the modular w/boom mic, just put the mic between your lips, close the helmet then push the mic out with your tongue or reach in with your finger. I like to push out with my tongue then the mic is lined up for sure voice pick up. Just a thought.
Thank you it helped me much to decide and what things to look at when at the shop :)
You're so welcome! Happy shopping!!
Thank you for your comparison review! Did you eventually install the com unit for your C5? If so, how do you like it? Any tips to keep the boom mic connected and positioned well?
Yes I did! I think cardo is a little better as far as ability to communicate farther apart but that is just a "feeling" and not something I have fully tested out. When I put it in open mesh mode though everything works smoothly. It works perfectly with my android phone for music, calls, directions, etc and battery life is very good. I keep the boom mic bent up so it's basically on my cheek. Haven't had any issues with sound quality or putting the helmet on/off in that position.
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks! I find that the boom mic doesn't 'click in' to stay in place. Gravity wants to pull it loose. Perhaps I am missing something really basic, like it should be then covered by some of the lining or the like.
@@jasonscottstone wow that's an interesting issue. Mine clicks in without any hitches. That does sound very frustrating though!
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Quite. Most of the time I ride solo and maintain my hearing with Apple AirPod Pro2s, so am not using the speakers nor the mic. I leave the mic at home. However, if I had the mic installed full time, I'd be wary of losing it for sure. It doesn't inspire confidence. In retrospect I should have saved my money and not bought the com unit given my use case.
How about the price difference?
Great question! They are both retailing for $799.99 in the US right now
6:47 how's the fit for people who wear glasses?
I have no issues with my glasses. But I do use Flying Eyes glasses which conform to your head more easily. My husband doesn't wear Flying Eyes and has the same helmet with no issues on his glasses
Helpful, thanks. You pointed out many interesting things which will make me take a 2nd look at the C5 before being set on buying the Neotec II.
Thanks for watching and your comment! Helmet selection is def a personal preference. Good luck!
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks to you I smartly tried them both today. Both fit in Med equally as well btw. Here MY ME MINE reasons why I purchase the Shoei:
It was impossible to remove or put on the C5 without first flipping up the chin piece; the Shoei could be removed and put back on like a regular full face helmet with out issue.
The neck strap on both helmets are fat, bulky and press oddly on the throat but the C5 pressed worse for me being actually kind of, not painful, but disconcerting with discomfort.
The C5 top vent was quite difficult to move and not 'grippy' for glove operation IMO.
The C5 chin skirt piece was more obtrusive when flipping the chin piece back down.
Don't need or want the included speakers, wiring and such. I'll install and use my preferred ones.
@@prettyflowers9956 I'm so glad you took the time to find what was the most comfortable for you!! Happy riding!!
😍
The chin curtain on the Shoei is removable and they have a cool and a cold version. In all honesty… fit is more important than most features.
Thanks for commenting. Helmets are definitely a personal preference :)
I purchased the Schuberth C5 a few months ago and love it ! I’ve been wearing Arai helmets for decades and have no complaints but the C5 is different in so many ways. Extremely comfortable, outstanding vision field looks great and it’s like 2 helmets in one. I highly recommend 👍
I totally agree!!!
Actually there is a Scorpion that comes with built in comm. I think it was the 930. Also modular helmet. I went to a store and tried it, but it's not for my head shape, unfortunately, even though I currently run a different Scorpion, that fits me.
I didn't know that about scorpion. Helmet buying is def very "head specific" :)
Thanks for the review of these two helmets.
I own both. In relation to some of your comments my findings personally are :
- the chinstrap angle is different but in my case - as is the case for some of the people that ride with it - this does not chafe or irritate the neck or throat area;
- fair point on cracking open the visor, and the Schoei is a little tougher, but my Schuberth would open violently at times when doing a shoulder check;
- the slider to open/close the sun visor is a little harder to find on the Schoei in the beginning but on the Schuberth it broke fairly quickly and couldn't be fixed;
- the pins holding the padding around the base on the Schuberth also broke;
- I find the Schoei is quieter;
- I dislike Sena ... a lot and am still looking for a better and more affordable system.
Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Thanks for all your comments!! Fortunately I ride a lot and I haven't had any of those issues with my C5. I did add an O ring to the visor to keep the visor from closing on its own though. I agree about Sena. I felt like my Cardo was better but I've gotten used to Sena's quirks for now :)
I know it preference, but im not sure why some people prefer integrated comms. They are usually subpar and more expensive, and you cant move them among different helmets. I have a touring helmet, ADV, and a retro helmet.
I don't disagree with you. I did love my cardo that was no integrated but I'm learning to really like my new integrated system
Don't leave your gloves in your helmet. If there's moisture on them, you'll start growing stuff in your helmet that you won't like, and has a distinctive odor.
Great tip I never thought of! 🤣🤣 thank you!
Shoei the wind coming in on the front bottom right side of the visor is insane.
Interesting! I didn't know that was a complaint:) thanks for watching!
I actually agree with you! I tried a few helmets but, all in all the Schuberth is simply the best one! Enjoy the ride!
Thanks! I've recently had Shoe owners tell me they wish they had seen my video first so that they could have bought a Schuberth 🤣🤣
Good review, thank you. Just as an FYI, women to not have an adams apple.
Thanks for watching and commenting! And btw the way, actually yes women do. My full time job is a speech therapist. Everyone has a thyroid notch which in layman's terms is an Adam's apple :)
Thanks for a very informative video! I'm in the market for a new modular helmet, and I know the Shoei fits me well. Time to try on a Schuberth, I think. Plus, thanks for letting me know about the lack of phone calling support on the Sena 2 comm in the Shoei. That's important to me.
Happy shopping! Let me know what you decide. You should also look up my "C5 sucks?" follow up video for a few tips if you end up thinking you want the c5 :)

You can fix easy the sun visitor ….
Yes! Since I posted this, I found a fix with o rings and made a video :)
Great review.
Thank you!!
Very nice review here.
Thanks!!! Appreciate you commenting!
I own a Neotec 2 for 3 years now. Worn a lot of other brands but nothing compares. The Chin curtain should not catch your chin. Maybe you have a shape of head or lower jaw which is not suited for the Neotec 2. There are multiple chin curtains for sale for if you would like more breathability. Also the chinstrap is very comfortable for most people. I know a lot of people who own a Neotec 2 and none of them have a problem with the chinstrap position. Most of the other complaints you have about the Neotec are just related to the fact you arent used to the helmet. When wearing it for a while you get used to the positioning of sunvisor etc. When wearing it for longer then 5 days you know how to open and shut it without catching the microphone with the chinguard. Also the helmet does click when it closes its just caused by your speed at which you close it. If you close something so slow ofcourse it doesnt click as hard. The minimal latch on the Neotec actually works really well. Just unlatch the visor from the locked position and ventilation improves in such a way that there is no need for ‘cracking the visor open’ as all these desktop testers complain about. Actually when you have placed the noseguard (which you haven’t) and you open the front vent it blows the visor clear all the time. Also when you shut the helmet and the visor stays up like the C5 it means you now have to close it twice to close it in case of entering a cloud of dust or rain up ahead. Please have fun with the schuberth but just don’t act like you tested stuff or advise people to buy one or the other while you havent even unboxed it or rode around in it for a while.
Thanks for your feedback. It was apparent in my video that I hadn't worn it and that it was a personal choice. Most helmets are a personal choice, I'm glad you are happy with your decision! :)
Loved the content, but I do have some feedback I'd love to give you.
1) You've got a great vibe, and a great diction / voice.
2) Your thoughts are really well organized, and the dialog feels very genuine.
3) You could use more B roll, more stock video (Story blocks might be an investment if you're looking to make this a long time project).
4) Visually although you're lovely, the camera becomes a bit boring fast trying new angles, different shots, and B roll might help retention.
I really think you've got what's needed to start a successful motorcycle channel on RUclips, I'll subscribe because this was really great.
I REALLY appreciate your feedback. I'm constantly trying to improve my videos with each one I make and I will definitely work on "jazzing it up" more. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I have a C5. A couple of things :
1. I thought the visor position retention when opening and closing the flip front was a gimmick, but it is actually very nice. I prefer it that way.
2. The visor has a tiny gap in the very last step before completely closed, this is a very nice feature. A big plus for me in colder and even not so cold weather
3. The flip mechanism works very well, open and close.
but ....
1. Like with my BMW system 7 (which is also a schuberth below the skin) the helmet shakes a little side to side if the visor is cracked open slightly, from about 70kph and up. Very annoying. The shaking stops the moment you completely shut the visor. My old helmet does not do this. (A plus though - with the system 7 the shaking increased with speed and became intolerable by about 100kph. The C5 does not - shaking remains about the same all the way up to 120kph, so that's a big improvement. I am slowly getting used to it, pity I have to though)
2. The pinlock insert is not as effective as my last helmet - it fogs up a bit on out breaths at slow speed if the visor is closed. I think this is partly because the helmet seals very well, so a plus and a minus.
3. Closing the visor is not always easy. Sometimes it closes ok, sometimes I have to support the bottom of the helmet with my shoulder and press really hard for the visor to fully close. Slightly annoying but not a big deal I guess. (I have seen several complaints about closing the C5 visor)
Overall I am happy with the C5. Would I buy it again? tough call. I think so. In the end more plusses than minuses.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I agree with everything you say. I'm also not as big of a fan of the senna comm system compared to cardo. I'm still happy with my decision. The vents on the head and chin are the best on the c5 which is life changing for hot weather :)
BMW 7 is not made anymore from Schubert! And is a crap helmet my one go off flipper on motorway at 70 mph…. 😅 I go to bmw dealer and they said sorry we don’t cover in warranty 🎉
Good pick on the helmet, ride safe. Ps.: Ladies not supposed to have Adam's apple:)
Thanks!! Haha I'm a speech therapist as my full time job. We technically all have a thyroid notch not an Adams apple ;)
@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Cheers on the notches. Could you please check and report back about the detents on the visor? Like to ride open visors and heard that the C5 is pretty weak in that regard. Shuts easily, etc. ...thanks!
