Customer Reviews for Scorpion ADX-1 - Matt Black
Excellent Helmet
After bring blinded by the low sun I decided I needed a helmet with a peak.and .ordered a medium size.The helmet was delivered the next day and fitted perfectly, with the controls easy to use. I am very happy with my choice.
Read moreGreat value and great fit
Helmet is a good tight but comfortable fit. I ordered the Medium as I also have another Scorpion in the same size. Many features such as the sun viser and included pinlock are awesome for the price.

Great value and an excellent fit. This is my second one. I love the wide field of view, and having a pin-lock included is always welcome. It's a secure fit with plenty room for speakers and mic boom. The peak looks good but buzzes a bit when you wind it on... no problem, it looks just as good without it... Lost a screw from the visor mechanism on my original one which was replaced free of charge by Scorpion via my local bike shop (great service). After 3 years service I have retired my first ADX and it was a no-brainer to go straight back to SportsbikeShop for a second one.
Read moreDecent helmet but on small side
Bought as a second helmet, I have a Shark Evo OneTwo, however after a few days this is likely to be the one of choice. The plus sides: 1. Looks good 2. Fits my face shape ( the Caberg Droid didn't) It's quieter than my Evo oneTwo. 4. Ventilation seems good. Adjustable front vent. 5. The visor stays slightly open allowing greater airflow. 6. When visor fully down, size of visor means feels less claustrophobic. 7. Cost. Half price of Evo OneTwo. 8. Removable peak 9. Pinlock included 10. Easily accommodates spectacles. Downsides: 1) Not double homologised, you can't ride with visor in open position 2. It's quite heavy. 3 feels unbalanced with chin bar in open position. 4. It's sized small. My Evo is a large, I bought an X-LARGE and it feels tight ( not uncomfortable but tight), cannot wear a skull cap underneath. 5. To change visor or insert pinlock you need to undo 2 large screws on side, and make sure you replace seal washers correctly. 6. More noticeable buffeting than my Evo, but peak is fitted, so might be different if removed. Would I buy one again ? Absolutely yes.
Read moresuper comfy
Got sick of struggling to fasten my shark helmet properly so decided to get a new helmet. My husband did all the research and showed me this one which although black and boring looks great with some flower stickers :). It was comfortable right from the start and fastens properly. It is quiet. The intercom was easy to fit. The sun visor controls are easy to get to and the visor is not too dark. I can't fault this helmet at all. Sportsbikeshop was superb as usual.

Great helmet, arrived very quickly, little fiddly getting my cardo system attached but it's in now and solid. Also came with a pinlock visor insert. Very happy.

A fantastic helmet that is very comfortable and is good in all round conditions! The pinlock is a great feature and a life saver on the wet days. A bit of wind noise but isn't bad previously came from a full face so the noise was expected on this.

A perfect helmet for everything, I have been using it for a week and I have not had any problems, it does not have a great sailing effect, a helmet that works for everything and at a very good price, I recommend it 100%

My 2nd one of these, fantastic helmet and great price and service from Sportsbikeshop
Read moreExcellent fit and sizing
Firstly I'm a size medium to large in crash helmets so often struggle to find the perfect fit in lids but a medium is usually ok depending on the padding and shell size. I tried both the medium and large in the caberg tourmax and the medium was very compact (already own an older caberg in medium which is fine, different model) and the large was too loose. Then I noticed that the large in the Scorpion was a 58 - 59 so ordered that. Perfect fit straight away. Good chin space allowing for a boom mic and easy to remove cheek pads to install speakers, should you need them. The peak is sturdy and great when out with no noticeable buffeting and really useful with a setting sun. Good chin strap that doesn't dig in either. I went for the Matt black and the finish is great. Ventilation is ok but the pinlock (which is included) is the only real way to avoid fogging with the visor fully down. I don't think this is approved to ride with the flip open as it doesn't lock. That's not a problem for me though. I love the styling, fit and function. After looking and reading many other reviews for adventure style helmets this one is perfect for me. On top of that, SBS service is superb. 5 stars all round.

About
Scorpion
Scorpion Exo is a relatively new addition to the plethora of motorcycle helmet brands available in Europe but they have most certainly hit the ground running. From their European base in Strasbourg, France, Scorpion have developed some of the most technical elements found on motorcycle helmets today, that have since become commonplace on the feature lists of the biggest brand names. A form of Scorpion's own Airfit pump system can now be found on models of both Shark and HJC helmets but it was Scorpion Exo who pioneered the technology, along with other innovations such as their Kwikwick liner system. The Scorpion helmet range, whilst focusing on technological advancements, also focuses on the more core expectations of today's biking fraternity, style, quality and fit. To that end, they've hired some of the most famous names in motorcycle helmet design and are able to control their entire production process, by manufacturing all elements of the helmet themselves, in their own production facilities. Scorpion say that their philosophy behind every single helmet they produce can be summarized in five words: protection, aesthetics, dynamism, comfort and innovation. We say, that over the next few years, Scorpion helmets will continue to grow in popularity throughout Europe and will undoubtedly take their place alongside the other major brands of motorcycle helmet.
