Scorpion Exo-Tech Carbon Evo - Solid Black looks great, fit perfectly, included antifog insert and extra visor. perfect for casual city rides. only one thing - wind noise at higher speed is insane, soundproofing is close to non existence, need proper ear plugs or stay at lower speed. overall still excellent purchase, love it.
Scorpion Exo 520 Evo Air - Banshee White / Black Absolutely love the design - striking (in my opinion). Great fit (for me) and so much lighter than my other one. Also find the vision is great as in I can see out the sides, without obstruction (seeing the inside of the helmet), which I have found with other helmets (probably down to having a very small head)
Scorpion Exo-1400 Evo Carbon Air - Solid Black For the price it is a fantastic helmet. Looks great, it is relatively light and it fits really well. On the move it isn't overly noisy and it is a bonus that it came with 2 visors, one clear and one tinted.
Scorpion Exo 1400 Evo II - Carbon Black Really comfortable and stylish helmet for a very good price considering it includes a pinlock and race visor in the box. Brilliant service from sportsbikeshop.
Scorpion Exo-930 Evo - Matt Black When I first started riding in London I wore open faced helmet as it gave me wide field of vision necessary to see and react to unexpected things (pedestrians, traffic, cyclists etc). When I left London and moved to a more urban environment I realised that I needed to get a proper full face helmet, especially as I ride all year round. So I needed something that would keep my face warm and dry in winter months, but also cool enough during warmer summer months. Plus, I need to be able to show my face at the security gate at work in the morning. This is where this flip=up helmet was such a godsend.
In terms of comfort, despite me having a lot of thick hair (dreadlocks) I have no issues with it. It is the most comfortable helmet I have ever had on my head. It is surprisingly quiet too. Obviously it cannot cut out all noise, but what little wind noise I do experience (when I don’t have in my earplugs) is quite pleasant.
The visor gives great range of vision and the pinlock works excellently too. Although I have found I need to crack the visor a little when riding at slow speed in stop/start traffic to prevent fogging up. But, once I’m travelling at constant speed it clears up quickly.
The flip-up section is easy to use, even with gloves on. I’ve never ridden with it fully up, as even in summer, the air vents have kept my head from over heating.
The sun visor is excellent too, coming down far enough so it ’s not in my eye line. And, as with the flip-up mechanism, easy to use with a gloved hand.
In fact, the only “complaint” I have with this helmet is it’s only available in limited colours; would have been nice to have some interesting graphics options.
All in all, extremely happy with the purchase and the typically excellent quality of service from Sportsbikeshop.
Scorpion ADX 2 - Lewis Black / Red This is my second ADX-2 purchased online from SBS. My first one would have lasted much longer, but over Christmas a mouse found it and decided to nest in it!! Delivery was rapid and the size was as expected. As others have said they do come a little tight, so I went one size up and it fits perfect. I fitted my speakers in the recesses and it is very comfortable. I have been able to do some very big miles and ride all day with this helmet. It looks great and the wide aperture gives an excellent field of vision. Highly recommend.
Scorpion ADX-2 Visor - Not Road Legal The visor is not to tinted so works day or night and it’s is a well made product, fits perfectly and the pin lock fits snug without issue.
Made the helmet look so much better
