Reviews The flow of helmets that pass the new ECE 22.06 safety standard continues with Scorpion's everyday Exo-491
The Scorpion helmet has received mixed feedback from customers. Many admire its stylish design, comfort, and affordability, appreciating features like the drop-down sun visor and effective air vents. Some customer reviews suggested it offers good value for money and a comfortable fit. However, others noted issues with visor adjustment, fogging, and wind noise. While praised for its comfort, some find it heavy over time. Overall, it's a popular choice among new riders and gift buyers alike.
Can't fault it. She days its very comfy, sunshade inside. Can't complain
Had this for over 2 years, and it's lighter than what I expected. It has handled everything I threw at it. I look the part and walk the walk cost-wise.
It will get wet, the wind noise is still there with this helmet, but it has saved me in an accident, and for that, this helmet gets a 5-star. It has cutouts for speakers, removal lining, tinted visor options and a drop down sun visor. Great ventilation what more could you want
Had to exchange as too small but no problems great service
All down to head shape and whether it fits for you.
Well made and quick delivery
After trying on about a dozen helmets I finally tried this one, and it’s a perfect fit! I like the stylish colourway too, and the detail of greyscale rose patterned lining. The sun visor is really effective, I just wish the lever was slightly easier to operate with thick winter gloves on.
I do have a big head but the helmet size is got is very snug but then protection feels great and it feels good quality and also looks cool.
Great helmet. Fits well at good price.
Comfortable, built in sun visor, minimal wind noise
Bought this for my wife after her not being on bike for 18 years, she had her eye on another helmet but then she spotted the Scorpion Exo. The moment she tried it on she absolutely loved how comfortable it was and also found out it has a drop down sun visor built in. We went out the next day and she said there was hardly any wind noise which is a bonus, highly recommended.
I love this helmet, I had an accident and yet again got the same helmet.
It is a pretty quiet helmet and with the pinlock obviously it doesn't steam up. The sun visor is a bit difficult to drop with thick gloves on. Air vents actually work.
Literally amazing, wind noise can be a bit much on motorways, but so comfy
The Scorpion EXO-491 is a strong contender in the entry-level helmet market. It offers a good balance of features, comfort, and safety for its price point. While it has some compromises in terms of weight and noise, these are generally acceptable given its affordability. For riders seeking a practical and well-equipped helmet without breaking the bank, the EXO-491 is a solid choice.
Great product for the price, pre-ordered, it arrived at Preston when they said, fits great, very well impressed with the helmet, branch and staff.
Lovely to wear and comfortable fit
Bought this for my son, good price, excellent lining and construction, a good weight and looks boss!
