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

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.

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.

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.

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.
