Affordable Smart Lid
27 April 2023 by Robert A
After looking at the YouTube setup video, fitting the Bluetooth to the lid was a breeze, taking the battery out for recharging is straightforward and easy to do. Nice comfy fit and the speakers and microphone are spot on, Spotsbikeshop made buying the lid seamless with continuous updates during the process.

Great helmet even better customer care
24 April 2023 by Matthew S
Recently bought two helmets for myself and partner, the scorpion exo 520 air smart. Unfortunately one of the batteries were missing for my partners intercom. Sportsbike shop went above and beyond to make sure we got the battery before our trip three days later. The helmets are fantastic with the built in exo com headsets, great fitting with the air fit system and the cherry on the cake they came with the pin lock inserts. We bought them in the recent sale and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great fitting helmet thats lightweight and has integrated coms, pinlock visor and drop down sun shade.

Excellent 5*
15 March 2023 by Scott
As per sportsbike shop go above and beyond excellent service as always, delivery on time and as for the helmet it's self it's fantastic. Fits great, a lot quieter than my shark helmet and just looks amazing and an absolute bargain with the headset included which is also brilliant. 5 stars all round

Exo 520 smart
23 January 2023 by Joseph B
Great helmet for price range. Perfect fit. Good sound from speakers. A little hard to control volume but using voice command helps. Air sound picks up after 80mph depending on wind conditions. Been using during the cold weather we have had and warmth is good, but does fog up a bit nothing dramatic. The visor locks in good and is secure.
Love it

A good all round helmet
03 September 2022 by Nigel J
I've given the helmet a rating of 4 as I believe that the helmet could be improved. I've not noticed the helmet to be too heavy as some people had said, the helmet is really comfy and the air feature helps in making sure the fit is just right. I wear glasses, so on most helmets I tend to wear a snood to make it easier to put my glasses on however no need to wear a snood with this helmet as it as provisions for the glasses to go into. The sound on the intercom is the best I've come across. The ventilation on a hot day is good. Now for the things that I don't like, wind noise is bad but I can put up with it ( just turn the volume up when playing music ). The slider for the internal sun visor seems to be too high and too far back to what I'm used to, and the control panel for the intercom is also too far back for me, I suppose in time I will get used to where these controls are and it should then become 2nd nature. So far I've covered around 500 miles since purchasing the helmet so I suppose you could say my negatives are like teething problems.

Fantastic helmet with great quality and fit. Bluetooth is easy and intuitive with awesome speakers. Customer service was outstanding as helmet became out of stock after order was placed and Emily from sportsbike shop sourced and shipped my lid direct from a store 5* service all round

Comfortable helmet.
10 September 2021 by Andy H
This is a comfortable helmet to have on my head. Its a touch on the heavy side but I've gotten used to it. Deffinatly lighter than some cheaper alternatives.
My only real negative is the wind noise. I used to own a cheap £50 helmet and it was quieter than this.
Sound quality is fantastic, app let's you adjust the settings to suit.
Overall would recommend. I feel safe with this on my head.
