Our take on the Schuberth C5 Route Helmet

The Schuberth C5 Route is a premium modular flip-up motorcycle helmet with a fiberglass shell reinforced with a basalt layer, ECE 22.06 certification, and a built-in sun visor. It is approved for use both as a full-face and as a jet helmet with the chin bar raised, and it uses Schuberth's A.R.O.S. anti-roll-off system plus a quick-release closure. At about 3.8 lb it is on the heavier side for a modular, but the wicking, removable, washable liner and scratch-resistant visors suit daily touring. The latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range, so it is a reasonable time to buy if the fit is right.

Touring and commuting riders who want one helmet for full-face and open-face use
Riders who value a quiet, premium modular with an internal sun visor

Questions and answers

Is the Schuberth C5 Route worth the price?
If you want a premium ECE 22.06 modular that works as both a full-face and a jet helmet, yes. Cheaper modulars exist, but few match the shell materials and liner quality.
How does it compare with the Schuberth C4 Pro?
The C5 Route adds ECE 22.06 certification and a basalt-reinforced fiberglass shell over the older C4 Pro. It is the safer, more current choice if the price difference is acceptable.
How much does the Schuberth C5 Route weigh?
About 3.8 lb. That is heavier than most full-face helmets, so expect some neck fatigue on very long rides.
What sizes does it come in?
Listings show XS and XL, with an intermediate-oval head shape. Check the size chart carefully, since the available range is narrow.
Can I ride with the chin bar up?
Yes. It is approved as both a jet and a full-face helmet, so the open configuration is legal where modular use is allowed.
When is the best time to buy it?
Prices on premium helmets tend to dip during seasonal sales and when a new colorway launches. The current best price is already near the low end of its recent range.
