Crit'Air for Euro 5

Post by peebeeNI »

Hi folks, I have been enquiring about a Crit'Air cert for my Euro 5 bike but keep hitting the proverbial brick wall. On the official site it just says that Euro 5 stickers are not available for motorcycles yet. I tried contacting them but it does basically seem that if you have a bike 2018-on you can't get a cert. All seems a bit strange. Any ideas/experience anyone!!!!! :shock: Cheers, PB

I’ve a Crit Air sticker for my 2022 ninja 1000sx. I applied on the official French site. On the application form, where there is a drop down list of Euro 3, 4 and 5 etc. leave it blank. Continue to fill in the remainder of the form.

The stickers don’t state which Euro version you have. They are CRIT Air 1, 2, 3 etc. The higher the number the more polluting.

From memory, Rouen excluded vehicles of CRIT Air levels 4 and 5 from their zone, when I was travelling through Rouen.

Google maps routes seem to state if you are passing through a crit air zone and link to the relevant city’s information on this (in French). Google Translate was very helpful.

Yep, same for me on my 2022 pcx125.
Just leave that bit blank and they’ll decide 👍

Does this also mean that mid 90s bikes for example are banned from entering?

A Euro 5 bike gets a level 1 Crit Air vignette.

I recently rode around Rouen because my 1993 R1100RS doesn't comply--a right PITA that requires careful navigation on D roads. Does anyone have any experience of just ignoring it?

Rouen seems to be a Bermuda Triangle for even sat nav navigation. We’ve got stuck in it for about an hour on two occasions, just going round in circles.

Came through there in the RV 10 days ago. No Crit sticker and no problem.
