Schuberth C5 ANC Helmet Review: Why You Also Need the SC Edge (India)
Short answer: the Schuberth C5 ANC is one of the best modular touring helmets you can buy in India right now, and yes, if you want the Active Noise Cancellation and connected features it is named for, you should buy the Schuberth SC Edge communication unit with it. The helmet is ANC ready with speakers pre-installed, and the noise cancelling and intercom features are delivered through the Cardo powered SC Edge system, so the two are designed to be bought and used together as a set. Below is our full review, the three colour options, and why the SC Edge is a must-have pairing.

Order the C5 ANCAdd the SC EdgeWhatsApp 9937059000What is the Schuberth C5 ANC?
The Schuberth C5 ANC is a premium modular, or flip-up, touring and adventure helmet with Active Noise Cancellation. ANC lowers wind noise while still letting important traffic sounds come through, so long rides stay quieter without cutting you off from the road. It is ECE 22.06 and P/J certified, which means it is legal to ride with the chin bar open or closed.
The shell is a DFP fiberglass reinforced with carbon fiber, and the helmet weighs 1721 g (plus or minus 50 g) in size M, built across two shell sizes for a closer fit. It carries an integrated drop-down sun visor, a pre-installed Pinlock anti-fog lens, a 91 dB noise rating with a maximum 5-star noise score, and a 5-year warranty. In short, it is built for riders who do serious kilometres and want comfort, quiet, and connectivity in one lid.
Why do you need the SC Edge with the C5 ANC?
This is the most important thing to understand before you buy. The C5 ANC is designed to work as a system with the Schuberth SC Edge communication unit. The helmet comes ANC ready with the speakers already installed, but the Active Noise Cancellation and the intercom, music, navigation and phone features are delivered through the Cardo powered SC Edge. In plain terms, the helmet is the hardware and the SC Edge brings it to life.
So if you are buying the C5 ANC for the noise cancelling and connected experience it is named for, you should treat the SC Edge as a mandatory add-on, not an optional extra. Buying the helmet alone gives you a superb modular touring helmet, but you will not get the ANC and intercom functions until the SC Edge is fitted. We strongly recommend buying them together so your helmet does everything it is built to do from day one.
If you are in India, order the C5 ANC and the SC Edge together with us and we will deliver both to your doorstep, ready to ride. Message us on WhatsApp at 9937059000 if you want us to confirm the pairing for your helmet.
Schuberth C5 ANC colour options (₹1,21,000 each)
The C5 ANC comes in three finishes, all at the same price and with the same features. Pick the look you want, then add the SC Edge.
1. Schuberth C5 ANC Modular Helmet, Matt Black (₹1,21,000)
The Matt Black is the stealthiest finish in the range and the easiest to match with any bike or riding kit. You get the full C5 ANC package: ECE 22.06 and P/J certification, the carbon reinforced fiberglass shell, an integrated sun visor, a pre-installed Pinlock lens, and pre-installed speakers ready for the SC Edge.
It is our pick for riders who want a clean, understated touring lid. Order the Matt Black C5 ANC online, or WhatsApp us on 9937059000 to confirm your size before it ships.
2. Schuberth C5 ANC Modular Helmet, Concrete Grey (₹1,21,000)
The Concrete Grey is a modern matte grey that hides road grime and looks premium without shouting. Same shell, same safety certification, same ANC readiness and Pinlock lens as the rest of the range, just a different finish.
If you want something a little different from black or white, the Concrete Grey C5 ANC is the one. In ready stock in India and delivered to your door when you order with us.
3. Schuberth C5 ANC Modular Helmet, Glossy White (₹1,21,000)
The Glossy White is the brightest and most visible option, which many touring and highway riders prefer for daytime visibility. It carries every feature of the C5 ANC, including the integrated sun visor, the 5-star noise rating, and readiness for the Cardo powered SC Edge.
Order the Glossy White C5 ANC directly with us in India for doorstep delivery, or message us on WhatsApp at 9937059000 for sizing help.
4. Schuberth SC Edge Communication System (₹65,999)
The Schuberth SC Edge is the communication and ANC unit that completes the C5 ANC. It is powered by Cardo and built around the Cardo Packtalk Edge chip, and it integrates cleanly inside the helmet rather than clamping on the outside, so the aerodynamics and looks stay intact.
It uses Dynamic Mesh Communication, a Bluetooth mesh network that keeps a group of riders connected and reconnects automatically as riders move in and out of range. This is the unit that unlocks the ANC and connected features on your C5 ANC, so add the SC Edge when you order your helmet, or WhatsApp us on 9937059000 and we will pair them for you.
How does the Schuberth C5 ANC perform on the road?
On the move, the headline is quiet. The C5 ANC is windtunnel tested and uses a spoiler, a 91 dB rated shell, and Active Noise Cancellation through the SC Edge to keep wind noise low on the highway, while still letting you hear traffic. That matters on long Indian highway runs where fatigue from noise is real.
Comfort is strong for touring. There is a glasses-friendly design, an anti-bacterial quick-drying liner with removable and washable cheek and crown pads, a breath guard, a chin curtain, and a thick neckroll. Ventilation comes from a top vent, two chin vents, rear exhaust vents, and air channels in the EPS liner, with summer and winter flaps. The integrated drop-down sun visor and pre-installed Pinlock lens mean you are ready for bright sun and fog straight out of the box. For a modular helmet with this much kit, 1721 g in size M is a sensible weight.
Our verdict: as a standalone modular helmet the C5 ANC is excellent, but it is at its best as a system with the SC Edge. Buy them together and you get one of the most complete touring setups on sale in India today.

Authenticity and Pricing Transparency
In India there are many fake stores selling fake goods, fake accessories, fake exhausts, and fake gear, often with no real product knowledge, and they scam a lot of people. A simple rule: if a store is selling something far below, or even equal to, the international or manufacturer price of the actual brand, it is almost certainly a fake listing or a fake product. Importing genuine products involves custom duty, service charges, handling charges, shipping, and other costs, so a genuine imported product cannot be sold at or below the global manufacturer price. Be very careful, and only shop with stores that have been in business for a long time. We have been in business for twelve years, almost every rider in India knows us, and our store owner is a well known supercar and superbike rider in India and Dubai. You can find him on Instagram and YouTube, so you know you are dealing with a genuine company and professionals, with many happy customers across India and worldwide.
