Scorpion Helmets

I mainly wear this during the winter/colder months it's comfortable and not heavy, I do find it a bit noisy on my GS as the wind seems to get in on the right side somehow may be a bit the bikes wind protection but it doesn't happen with my other helmets.

Extremely comfortable and looks amazing. My first helmet and I love it definitely recommend to everyone and beginners as well.

Absolutely superb helmet.

Impossibly comfortable, weighs nothing, looks superb with the gloss forged carbon finish.

And an additional smoked visor and pinlock insert supplied in the box.

Docked one star because although this is effectively Scorpion's top of the line race helmet, it doesn't have a gold ACU sticker that would allow trackday use in the UK.

I was told that I wouldn't find a pinlock for my Scorpion exo 2000 as it was too old a model.
Turns out that was false information. Very happy to find one and it was easy to fit.

Shoei changed the shell size and shape so the nxr2 wouldn’t fit for a start but the price certainly made me question it.

The exo is a Quality helmet with great sound insulation that is better even with a aftermarket comm attached on the side (barely hear wind noise from it even when turning my head) compared to the more expensive composite shoei nxr without comms fitted, and I always heard a very noticeable wind noise with the comm attached with that helmet.
Fitting a comms device is possible and isn’t too hard or dissimilar to a nxr for size of speakers. luckily ive not bad to put a hole in the interior like I had to on a shark or only one place a wire could go without altering the nxr.
The feel of the materials is good, not too much on the skull cap so in summer you’ll get more air flow. The vents do have a nice positive action to them and work well but not too blustery or uncontrolled airflow.

The neoprene like chin curtain is very effective at draught control, greater than the nxr mesh. For removing it needed a lot of effort to the point I thought it was secured with poppins as the inner shell moved slightly too but it’s just longer tabs so it’s not coming out when putting on or off or dropping out by accident like it could do with the nxr.

The two visors (clears and tinted) are medium firmness so not so ridged like a hjc nor flexes like shoei / arai of old while still being optically great.
The highest level of pinlock is a great addition and worth it.
Ive gotten used to the centre locking mechanism, is simple and not as awkward like some other I looked at before.
I like the idea of the mid level lever drop down visor as it’s easier to add comms or less likely to be caught on by trying to get it on, off, putting it down or, access to something Its action is smooth and simple.
I’ve had mixed results with drop down tinted visors in the past. The drop is very low but not to the absolute very bottom of the rim which for me works well.
Its tint is light to medium, as-long as you don't want the drop down tinted visor to be the sole use to block out a lot of the light in one go (black out), this is a broader use to combine with either visors for stages of tint. This will split people of their wants or expectations but I actually like it more.

I’ve not needed to use the cheek bladder system but no doubt in a few years when the internal foams start to be compressed it will give the helmet a bit longer lifespan.

Tried on half a dozen helmets and whilst some were good I ended up buying the same helmet (although they had made some minor improvements) as I’ve been using for last five years. It fits like a glove, wind noise is minimal and is just so comfy and light I can’t fault it. Great value too!
