Scorpion Exo-Tech Pro - Commuta Black / Silver I had the non-pro version of this helmet and was rear-ended at about 50mph while stationary. I was catapulted into the air and about 10m forwards, over the car that was stopped in front of me. The helmet was fully closed up when I was hit and showed impact marks to the ground on the back, top, front and one side, but my head was fine. So, no problem buying another one, I'm very confident in its ability to perform when needed. I like the practical design, comfort, ventilation and quality is good. The downside is that it is noisy with the visor up... which I hated at first, but then my eyes appreciated because that noise made me close the visor more often, stopping kak hitting my face. Chin bar and visor closed up, it's still not a quiet helmet, but with ear plugs, it's great.
Scorpion Covert FX - Matt Pearl Black Really nice helmet for the price, extremely comfortable and a lot quieter than all of my more expensive helmets,, visor is the easiest on the market to swap and the visor down locking and unlocking is so easy, no awkward fiddly buttons,,plus you get a smoke visor as an extra in the box, no pinlok though but the visors are pinlok ready, All in all this is an awesome helmet and the service from Sportsbikeshop as always second to none,,, 10 out of 10 for both the helmet and Sportsbikeshop
Scorpion Exo-1500 Carbon Air - Matt Black This is a quality helmet!! It’s extremely comfortable and it looks the mutts nuts!! Everyone that’s seen it has commented on the look and weight of it.
Finally got round to getting a pinlock insert and I'm so glad I did, definitely prevents any steam up when hopping between different temperatures. My visor used to steam up when going from inside to outside, especially during winter
Scorpion Exo 491 - Matt Black Love it! The helmet is really comfortable and doesn’t wobble or move excessively. Face cover was easy to lift up and down, sunglasses were easy to put down with gloves on. Lasted a 5 hour ride with no issues. Also very stylish!
Scorpion Belfast Evo Luxe - Matt Black Fit is true to size and very good. It doesn't sit too high, and the drop down visor is effective. The finish on the liner wouldn't be out of place on a more expensive helmet and has good space for speakers. It has a ratchet strap fastening which works well but I'd have preferred a double D ring so only 4 stars.
Scorpion ADX 2 - Pearl White I've just returned from a lap around the world and wore one of these everyday for a year. I had no hesitation in replacing it with exactly the same model. It's been great in all weathers and visibility is superb. I only replaced it because I had beat up the original one.
