Scorpion Exo-930 Evo - Matt Black Good value...comfortable quiet helmet that looks great
Scorpion Exo 390 / 410 / 491 / 510 / 710 / 1200 / 2000 Air Race Visors Went with the smoked. Isn't too dark either. Fits and works as it should
Scorpion Exo 491 - Matt Black Can't fault it. She days its very comfy, sunshade inside. Can't complain
Does what it supposed to
Scorpion Exo HX1 Carbon - Black / Gold This helmet will make you stand out that's for sure, especially with the tinted visor. However the build quality is not as good as the packaging and price tag would suggest. The whole helmet looks like it was made of luxury materials but in reality, it feels cheap when you wear it. It's comfortable all right but this is the most noisy helmet I ever had.
- The air flow at the mouth is great but when it's on, the noise significantly increases in the helmet.
- The visor sometimes drops down 20% so this magnetic lock doesn't seem to always work
- Why did you put the sun-visor handle inside the helmet???!!! Every time you want to engage your shades, you have to open the visor, engage the shades, close your visor. That's 3 steps with one hand off the handlebar which could be just one step! Outright dangerous and very annoying.
- When I installed my Cardo, one of the plastic pins securing the cheekpad got damaged (I wasn't using any force, it popped out and the female connector came lose and twisted). It doesn't impact use and you can't see but again, it suggests that the build quality is not great at all.
My verdict is that if you are looking for a really good looking helmet and can live with the impracticality and less than adequate wind noise reduction - this helmet is for you. Otherwise, spend this money on a better quality helmet. Do not buy this helmet if you are riding a naked bike.
Scorpion Exo 390 / 410 / 491 / 510 / 710 / 1200 / 2000 Air Race Visors Love these, they are tinted visors. Illegal "Possibly" never had an issue when riding with these. Got a stamp on the side saying Daylight only. Tinted and hides the face, blocks the sun out much better than drop-down glasses do.
