Advice & Guides You'd be surprised how many riders wear a helmet that's too big for them. Here's how to tell if a lid really fits you...
Customers rave about the Scorpion helmet's comfort, light weight, and affordability. They appreciate features such as the inflatable cheek pads, drop-down sun visor, and quality materials. Many highlight its exceptional fit, especially on naked bikes, and praise its quietness and aerodynamic design. The helmet comes with a spare visor and pinlock, adding value. Despite minor complaints about the sun visor not dropping fully and some wind noise, overall satisfaction is high, with multiple repeat buyers.
Bought this having had a Shark Skwal before, and the Air system is a game changer. Where padding normally loses its fit and "snugness" the Scorpion Air system means you can inflate the chambers inside to get just the right feel for your own face (kind of like Reebok pumps if anyone remembers) which means that it doesn't end up feeling loose after a few years. I've had mine 3 years and it's brilliant. the drop down sun visor is excellent and while some reviews have mentioned it leaves a gap at the bottom I actually think its great, because when you want to glance down and your dash it means you're not looking through the tinted part. The carbon fibre is extremely well done and the seam is perfectly symmetrical, Scorpion have really made the effort to make it look good. Visor is easy to remove and clean and the venting works really well too. I've been on extended rides in 30 degrees and never felt hot in it. Highly recommend!!
Lovely helmet for the Price. The fit like all scorpion helmets is great as you have the pump up cheek pads.
It’s quite noisy inside so ear plugs are needed.
Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo Carbon Air Helmet Review
Been using the Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo Carbon Air (solid black) for a bit now and I’m really happy with it.
First thing I noticed was the fit – it suits my head shape really well straight out of the box. The air cushion system inside is a nice touch too, you can pump it up to get a tighter fit which makes it feel really secure, then let it down if needed.
It also came with a smoked visor, which is a bonus and saves having to buy one separately.
Compared to my old Shark Skwal helmet, this one feels a lot lighter, which you definitely notice on longer rides. Much more comfortable overall.
The vents work well too – airflow is decent and you don’t end up feeling too hot, even on longer runs.
It’s also got an internal sun visor, which is really handy when the sun comes out.
Overall, really impressed with it. Feels like a proper step up in quality and comfort.
Would definitely recommend it.
Very light ,fits great ,worn it on a long day ride at times you forget it's on your head .
Looks great , feels great . Maybe jst a bit wind noisey
For the price it is a fantastic helmet. Looks great, it is relatively light and it fits really well. On the move it isn't overly noisy and it is a bonus that it came with 2 visors, one clear and one tinted.
I mainly wear this during the winter/colder months it's comfortable and not heavy, I do find it a bit noisy on my GS as the wind seems to get in on the right side somehow may be a bit the bikes wind protection but it doesn't happen with my other helmets.
Although I haven't used this helmet yet it certainly has a lot more features than most helmets of its price category. The surprise was just how easy it has been to order and return items to Sportbikeshop leaving me much more relaxed about trying different helmets without the pressure of deciding on the spot in a shop.
I would recommend using this service to anyone
Picked this helmet up on offer and was pleased with it right away. Snug comfy fit right out the box, (I purchased an L with a 58cm head size) decent enough ventilation that's easy to switch, light feeling in carbon and styling is nice aesthetically. The vizor locks down easy and isn't difficult to set in the cracked and mid positions, the pop down sun visor is a nice touch as is the pin lock included in the box. It basically had all the features I could want at a decent price...
Superb quality and construction. Came with a tinted visor and pinlock all in protective bags.
Good fit and very comfortable even when wearing sunglasses ?
Bought as a gift for my other half. He absolutely loves this, also got a gold visor to match, which looks fab with the helmet. Said it’s really comfortable with a wide view & nice and breathable. His glasses fit a treat too.
Gorgeous looking helmet, DD fastening (my fav), effective ventilation and pretty light. I found it very comfortable and reasonably quiet but they are factors obviously down to your own head shape, bike set up etc.
Highly recommended helmet and great advice in the Birmingham store. Thanks chaps.
Quality and comfort is good but loud wind noise on left side
Bought it for my wife. So was looking for light weight helmet. SBS Reading staff was very patient and helped a lot with selection process.
This helmet is identical to the older model, exo-1400 carbon evo air but with a few added graphics.
It's lightweight, looks good, feels good and is great value for money. So good I bought it twice.
It comes with 2 pin lock ready visors. 1 clear and 1 smoke. It comes with 1 pin lock visor. Drop down sun visor.
It's the best helmet for the money.
Such a great fit , very comfortable and super light plus the pinlock and built in sun visor. What more do you need ?
definitely one of the best helmets out there, it surprised me with how light and perfect the fit was. the weight of the helmet is kept low which I find very important as it puts less strain on my neck vs my heavy old shark helmet.
Brilliant all round helmet
