Scorpion Exo-1500 Carbon Air - Carbon Onyx Had an exo 1400 Carbon in the past, but I ordered online and the wrong size so I eventually switched to a GT Air 3, but I always felt it looked too big due to the shell size.
Then I saw this and knew instantly I had to get one. It’s just stunning in the flesh and so light and comfortable.
Comes with a pin lock visor and a tinted visor, how they can do all that for this price is simply beyond me.
I have a photochromatic visor on order for the winter months.
Scorpion Exo-1400 Evo Carbon Air - Solid Black Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo Carbon Air Helmet Review
Been using the Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo Carbon Air (solid black) for a bit now and I’m really happy with it.
First thing I noticed was the fit – it suits my head shape really well straight out of the box. The air cushion system inside is a nice touch too, you can pump it up to get a tighter fit which makes it feel really secure, then let it down if needed.
It also came with a smoked visor, which is a bonus and saves having to buy one separately.
Compared to my old Shark Skwal helmet, this one feels a lot lighter, which you definitely notice on longer rides. Much more comfortable overall.
The vents work well too – airflow is decent and you don’t end up feeling too hot, even on longer runs.
It’s also got an internal sun visor, which is really handy when the sun comes out.
Overall, really impressed with it. Feels like a proper step up in quality and comfort.
Would definitely recommend it.
Scorpion Exo-391 - Matt Black Great helmet, fits great and very comfortable
Scorpion Exo-Tech Evo - Traveller Gloss Black / Red This fitted me true to size. I was on the cusp of L / XL but the XL was great for me. Snug mut not tight. I love the flexibility. In hot weather riding chin piece up visor up is great. If the weather is less friendly, you feel well protected with the chin piece and visor down.
The visor isn't dark as the picture; the supplied visor is clear. I ordered the dark visor as I like that style but its barely tinted. The built in sun visor is a good dark colour, but it does have the habit of dropping when not wanted occasionally. You have to be firm with the slide control to put it up to stay up. Overall, though, this is a great lid.
Scorpion Exo-Tech Evo - Team Black / Silver Good quality helmet from scorpion.. 450g heavier than my carbon fiber helmet but understand due to it being a chin over helmet nose level a bit more, but overall very good
Scorpion Exo-1500 Carbon Air - Matt Black Very light and broke in to the shape of my head quickly, font vent works well but not sure of the top vents effectiveness. Lock on visor is fiddly with gloves on. Pump up air fit is clever but fiddly to use even with glove off. Pointy bit on back of crash helmet not very friendly for pillion passenger!
Scorpion Exo 530 Air - Hadji Black / Pink I so badly wanted to keep this helmet as my 3 year old loved it but the inner liner is not soft enough. I wore it in the house for like 45 minutes and it was just annoying me. If you don't really care, or it doesn't bother you after wearing it for more than 30 minutes, overall it's decent helmet.
p.s. full disclosure never rode with it so can't say anything about that
