We’ve tested and reviewed some of the helmets in the sale so you can trust that they are great helmets.

Gareth Evans tested the Schuberth E2 and said “This is a high-quality, feature-rich lid with plenty to recommend it as an ownership proposition, including a brilliant comms system integration and the five-year warranty. It isn’t perfect; I’d like slightly higher quality-feeling materials for the money, but overall I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.”

"This is a high-quality, feature-rich lid with plenty to recommend it as an ownership proposition, including a brilliant comms system integration and the five-year warranty. It isn’t perfect; I’d like slightly higher quality-feeling materials for the money, but overall I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

The marketing bumpf does claim superior aerodynamic properties for this lid, and they claim it’s very quiet, but in fairness this is borne out by my experience. It’s a quiet helmet at most speeds, and clearly the design features a number of attributes aimed at smoothing airflow. As you’d expect for a lid with integrated communications systems, they perform flawlessly, with perfect sound quality for listening to music or using the phone."

Cons

• The feeling of quality of some of the materials leaves a little to be desired

Adam Binnie tested the Schuberth C5 and said “I wear this on all bikes and all rides now because it’s a great all-rounder, offering good ventilation, a quiet ride and (subjectively) attractive styling. The fact it’s a flip front is almost secondary – this is a great helmet in its own right.”

Tried and tested by Adam Binnie

"Without a doubt, the best thing about a flip front is its ease of use – the days of cramming my head through a tight-fitting neck roll, pulling my earplugs out and giving me a headache before I’ve even turned a key are long gone. Best of all you don’t even have to take it off to talk to someone, because once the helmet’s on, it’s on. That’s not unique to the Schuberth C5 of course, but there’s always a benefit to being first and the headline-grabbing ECE 22.06 rating is bound to put it front of mind for riders shopping for a new lid.

The Schuberth C5 has nearly as many ventilation options as my car, and while this seems a bit overwhelming at first, you quickly get used to the different options and when they function best. The main vents have washable filters and the top one can be popped off the helmet for cleaning, too.
On the chin there’s a big slider that covers up two vents, blasting cooling air straight into your face. Above this is a tab that rocks back and forth, which when open creates a curtain of air from the bottom to the top of the visor."
