Scorpion Exo-491 - Pirate Red

Great helmet, very light and good fit.
Also excellent service from SPORTSBIKESHOP.

if she's happy everybody's happy

This is my third Scorpion helmet, for the price you get a stylish, light, comfy helmet it's my go to lid whenever I need a replacement.
I use this one for trackdays and have a modular flip front for road use I can't fault them , good wide view visor, easy to operate drop down sun shade , emergency pull out cheek pads should the worst happen. Slightly noisy but not a problem with ear plugs in.

Overall this helmet is not worth the cost. It would be more suited to the sub £100 range.

Bad Points

VISOR
The Visor has very little adjustment, It's either too far open or it's close, if you try to have it open at certain points it just slams closed at around 50mph and the bang is extremely loud.

VENTS
The Vents are difficult to press and DON'T actually vent, Even at motorway speeds it's not possible to feel the vents working.

FOG
THe Visor suffers from fogging on the bottom third that can only be rectified by having the visor open.

WIND NOISE
The wind noise experienced from this helmet from around 40mph onwards is excruciating.
The noise is so bad I can't even hear my Race exhaust over the wind noise.
I've had to buy earplugs to stop the pain the Tinnitus the noise creates which for me takes away from the experience of riding and makes it unsafe as i can hear other road users.

Good Points

SUN GLASSES
The Internal sunglasses are a nice feature

COMFORTABLE
Its fairly comfortable despite its weight.

BAG
It comes with a storage bag.

This helmet and the tinted visor is a superb combination, my other helmets are Shark and Bell, which have been good helmets, but this Scorpion one is on another level.
Its so quiet, with very minimal wind noise and the comfort, well all i can say is it's plush.
To say that after many years of riding and wearing various brands this has definately become my favourite by far and to top it off it was great value for money.
I'll absolutely be buying this brand again and definately be buying from SportsBikeShop again.
Choices are vast and super value for money.
Big thanks to them and their team.

Bought for my Son, he loves this Lid looks great fits great and price isn't eye watering.

Bought this for my daughter she said it is so comfortable and she loves the colour.

Really happy with the helmet fits snug and sun visor great just take while to get the hang of where the button is.

Good design, fit me perfect (size was correct) not much noise and wind coming .Visor slightly fogs up on cold days, it's a shame not coming with pinlock, and also not coming like pictures with mirror visor

The helmet itself was fab but realised it was too heavy after wearing around the house for a bit. Glad it's so easy to return though!

I love this helmet! It's great fit and super comfy. The air vents make it super cool and it has a pin lock visor+ sun visor! It is also cheap and affordable which I think is great for how good this helmet is! Definitely worth it. I recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a comfortable and safe ride!

Very happy with my helmet, delivery was super fast and easy.

The helmet feels great to wear and come with some premium features that you would have to pay big money for, this helmet is very good value and an amazing choice for a first time rider

Great product. Well made with top notch features and upto current safety regs. Integral sun visor is a bonus and truly helps on sunny days. Ventilation stops steaming and a hot head. Great value. Free next day delivery what's not to like.

Scorpion helmet. Great product, value for money, need more products like this
