I use a scorpion too, you can’t beat the value. And more importantly they are subtle, and don’t flash their brand real big all over the helmet. Just a nice subtle emblem
I have this helmet. Comfortable, light weight and looks hella nice. Only con is the wind noise but any carbon fibre helmet is going to be. Still quieter than a Ruroc.
HJC is another great helmet manufacturer that has reasonable prices. I used to have AVG but since then they've gone with Arai and Shoei etc. to price themselves way out of reach. So glad there still are companies like Scorpion and HJC. 👍🏻
Agv has always had more expensive and less expensive helmets. If you want a cheap ass helmet, they make the K1-S and K3-SV 😅.. also they dont feel like bullshit, unlike the hjc C and I series helmets. Shoei also has the RF-SR which is only $400 and isnt hot garbage, so if you can afford to buy a 2 wheeled thigh rocket, then you can spend a little money on properly protecting your melon. Just dont waste money on graphics
@@crank6508Not recommended at high speeds I don't think. Anything above say 60-70mph you'll get heavy buffeting with helmet rattle. (I'm on a Sport cruiser so feels far different than what a sport biker would experience) I own a Schuberth S2, they're more touring/adv helmets. Why they have yet to make a Snell helmet (to my knowledge thus far) is beyond me.
both feel very premium, scorpion has really increased their quality . It felt so good on the touch. I just wanted the best and I could afford arai. If you can get their base model go for it. But Scorpion is an amazing brand also, and I think the R1 is also super close to their moto gp version safety wise, but has less noise cancelling as you need to be able to hear better in racing. The 1400 is the road going helmet with more comforts. Any of the top brands will be fine. AGV, Shoei, Scorpion, airoh etc.. I bought plain pearl white color because colored helmets can be up to 100-150 euros/dollars more expensive @@griffins750
@@griffins750 Arai is #1 for me, had an accident and I will swear by them even if I can only buy their cheapest model. I bought the Quantic because I wanted some more touring features, but you can buy the profile V and it looks cool as S also! Scorpion is an amazing brand very comfortable, I'm worried about the inflating pillow but when I used it new of course it was amazing. My head had a better fit on the Arai, but I would buy a Scorpion as well. I would buy the R1 for Racing purposes for sure. The 1400 is amazing also. All top brands are ok. Find the one that fits best. After the 150 euro mark, everything else is a premium, all of these are tested the same way. ECE2206 is very high standard test. Maybe just maybe arai is a bit safer but that's debatable. Full Face only, and buy top brands. And get earplugs also mate! 3m for workers cost only 2 bucks and they will save your ears ! Test all the brands AGV, Shoei, Scorpion and choose the one you like.
I have the non-carbon EXO 1400 and it's great. Fits tight while being comfortable, and it's well finished inside and outside. Quite a lot of padding so I definitely feel more protected than with my generic 150$ helmet.
@@nesto9889just get the exo 1400 air. It’s a 250-350 helmet (depending where you buy it). The non carbon version is still made from better materials than most other helmets
It’s official, this guy will sell you anything a company will throw at him. Just a few weeks ago he was out here saying how (enter different helmet brand here) was the best helmet out there. Don’t take anyone’s advice on helmets. Try them out yourself and see what you like. Don’t take my advice unless you want to, but one thing I’ve noticed. Is a helmet may fit alright when trying on, but it feels different when sweating or aggressively riding. Another thing that you can’t test with a try on in store is wind noise.
On te contrary, I do marketing for a living, and get paid handsomely for it. I’ll stay right here, and let people do what they want with my comments. Have a nice day and enjoy reading this.
Day 2 of ownership, the top air vent FLEW off at 85 mph on the highway. To scorpions credit, they sent me the replacement part in 3 days. Helmet fits comfortable af, not the quietest, light as fck, comes with pin lock and tinted visor. I get asked about it ALL the time. 7/10 for me.
The best value helmet to me is the Bell Qualifier MIPS. Great style protection and comes with a photochromatic shield. And the regular Qualifier is great too for a smaller budget.
That was my 1st helmet, my 2nd helmet I leave in garage and I went back to the bell qualifier, BTW Bell customer service is and feels #1 and best I've ever received via phone.
@@GothJezuzruroc and bell are the kind of helmets you buy at the kids store.. lmfao. No wonder you think ruroc is good. Wait till you crash in one. Bet you ride a gxsr-1000 too
I love Arais as much as the next biker but man those things are expensive. I was pleasantly surprised to see the prices in Scorpion helmets. Will be getting one soon.
I’ve own dozens of helmets. From Bell to Arai, even have an AGV pista. But nothing compares to my Shoei X-15. The X-14s are on sale now and are a great value for the price!
I have the same helmet. The top vent flew off on my first ride. Emailed scorpion and they send me a replacement vent to heat and stick onto the helmet. No other issues out of it. It's loud like any race helmet but super comfortable. You won't find any good visor options for it so if you like mirrored visors like me, don't get your hopes up.
Goddamn, got myself a Scorpion Exo R1 Air a blue one. The best purchase ever. Light, super fit & feels safe asf. It is up there along side with Shoei🔥🔥🔥
Exo air 1400 carbon is great for the cash with the features like easy inserts for comms speakers and spare visors. Puffing up the inflatable pads helps dull down wind noise at high speed.
The Bell race star flex dlx is overly slept on. Comes with a photochromatic visor. Only thing its missing is a $30 pinlock and its the perfect helmet. Super light, quiet, comfortable, supportive, and incredibly aerodynamic. Like it way more than the shoei 1400 or the arai contour. If you're lucky you can get one on sale for under $600
Im in the uk and my helmet was £60 It passed the same saftey ratings as all the other helmets including ones priced at £1800 Experienced bikers and instructors in my area all told me price dont matter as long as it passes the rating
Man that's awesome! Id love to see all of this technology in a more retro looking shell. I ride a Harley but its full face always for me, currently I have the Biltwell Lane Splitter which is a good entry level helmet but Ill definitely be upgrading in the future. I was thinking of getting a Simpson next but will have to look at Scorpion for the awesome tech.
Idk about their track helmet but their street helmet (4.0, 3.0 is garbage pads wore down after a month) feels fine and I love their shockwave coms system with more helmet companies did that
You should really get a Ruroc and do a review on one. I have one absolutely love it. Helmet is a game changer. I used to ridden with an RF 1200 for the last three years Ruroc is a quieter helmet. I also ride a 2022 Street Triple rs this helmet is quieter and when you turn your head to the leftleft or the right, it does not jerk your neck I could go on but!
He is right, youd have to live under a rock to think ruroc are worth spending money with. Their business practices are unethical, they have very poor support, they have extremely poor quality control (yes, even now with the latest atlas) and they arent even that light despite all their literature to say otherwise. Literally their only redeeming feature is the look of them. I could write paragraphs on why they are a bad choice but others have already and you are obviously so biased you cant see it. Ill stick with bell and agv (both companies who put money into development and makinf a quality product rather than marketing)
@@brynn2001 nope, and I really dodged a bullet there. I fell for the marketing, watched the live release of the atlas 3 and was ready to click buy but decided to just wait a few weeks.. then all the bad reviews started flowing. Then I realised that ruroc had a long history of using their customers to do r&d and of lying to make a sale. Tell me, does the shockwave do rider to rider coms yet? Has your liner come loose? Do you think that people with the atlas 1,2 or 3 got a good deal?
@@nathanchalecki4842 relax Yammie noob. Lol I don’t know if the people that got the atlas, 1,2 or 3. If they got a good deal or not. But my helmet is great. How can you give a review or your opinion on something you know nothing about. on the other hand I have 2 other shoei and currently have the RF1200 & AGV and I have two friends have the new K6 and the shoie RF1400 and Arai. my opinion to you for what it’s worth put these helmets in your garage, wear them and ride with them then give your opinion because at the end of the day it’s just your opinion and my opinion. God bless and have a great day 🙏🙏
I finally bought mine, they also have an emergency tear off for the liner in case first reponders need to remove it. Mine also came with 2 visors, one tinted and one clear and pinlock to throw on either one.
The EXO and RPHA 11 Pro carbon are both sub 3lbs, sub 500/550, and fully CF. Toss up for me, the HJC is more comfortable and has a higher neckline, EXO has a bit more coverage but both are killer if you want a great helmet and don't need to brag to your boyfriend about owning a SolaLuna Pista GP RR
Indeed is very VERY difficult to belive the 550 price. And I'm pretty sure that this helemt is NOT the same that Alvaro wears in races. In general, Scorpion is cheaper and you can fill it in the materials. Almost all Scoprions have this air cushions, it's not a "premium" feature. Not a bad brand, but I would never trade an Arai or Shoei for a Scoprion. Maybe for street use only...
Got one just like that. Love it. Wish it had blue or purple visor though. Love the visor latch. The air pump doesn’t do anything for me. Took off the “S” branding off with a floss. Pretty quiet with a scarf. Vents are ok. It does press a bit on my jaw from the sides.
@@xvrexzii4715 Depends on aftermarket support, some of that companies most popular models have like 0 aftermarket visors for some reason, so its highly probable that none exist for this model. You can do some tints yourself, but its nicer to just be able to buy one ready to go.
@@xvrexzii4715 just checked again, they must have released new visor colors with the release of carbon blue. There’s a gol, purple, blue. No pinlock support for whatever reason. Pinlock might be a dealbreaker.
@@hkravch I don’t use a pin lock and I have one ready to put on, it’s really not a deal breaker. If you notice it’s starting to fog you can ever so slightly open it and its fine. Or control your breathing so you’re not hyper ventilating Also when you’re at speeds you will never have an issue anyway, it never fogs at speed only when you’re going slow
Hey! Your avid fan here. I have a sports bike too, it's a Honda 150. Not sure if you even consider that as a sports bike haha. Love how you host your content.
Similar to my exo 1400 air carbon, in my case this fit ok but it is a little complicated to put it on and take it off, but at least the noise is almost zero up to around 120km/h
I had a exo 1400 carbon Bad quality liner, not comfortable because of the short lasting foam. Really loud, does not come close to my shoei nxr and nxr2
I also use this helmet except in matte black that goes with my bike. This is the helmet I love the most! I had the shoei RF14 reaper, took it back and traded it for my scorpion. Not the quietest, but I prefer it over my shoei. Looks the best imo, and can't be the price!
I like your videos bro very educational to us riders also im filipino too i drive a Xrm 125 supermoto build not much but soon will be finish keep posting vids brother 😊
I dont know.. I had the 1400 carbon and all the rubbers came loose eventually. (about 1yr). Now i got the R1 and the chin opening just broke/fell off. And i take care of my helmets and never dropped it. The looks are cool, but i think im going AGV next just for the quality.
I have a Scorpion EXO T1200 and I love this helmet, air flow is decent so I use it for more cold weather riding. The inside material is so soft and I loved the air pump system but recently the helmet started to fall apart so now it’s a shelf piece, but not bad being its 9 years old. 🤷🏻♂️
Bro I just bought an e scooter that does a MAX 40MPH and wanted a full face helmet so I started looking on CZcams. I think a cheap one will be fine but whatever you’re doing keep doing it cause you have that CZcams algorithm down!
May have some decent features, but really any quality helmet will have those. The weight is great, but biggest thing in choosing a helmet is head shape. Scorpion won't be the helmet for everyone.
Lol $550 will get you a Klim Krios which is considered a little pricey in the ADV helmet space. Not as expensive as an Arai XD-4 which is like $700 or 750 I think.
I like scorpions design and yes the value is alright mainly for full helmets but their sizing is really bad due to 2 shell sizing so for some people its amazing for me its either an m wich is to tight or an l wich is to big hjc on the other hand having 3 shells an m fits perfectly

@@1up_doug yeah I’ve heard it’s not the best for safety. I just wanted to grab something before my MSF course that I’d actually wear after. Saving up for a shoei ever since.
Bought one about a year ago as my first helmet. It was great with one exception since my bike didn't have a wind screen it pushed the helmet up when I wasn't in full tuck. Ended up getting a AGV K1 after that and k1 cuts the wind much better but I still keep the Scorpion for go karting.
Very easy to install a pack talk. Both the R1 and 1400 have speaker cutouts and plenty of room between the padding to hide wiring. Best way to mount the comm unit is the clip on mount, which also mounts without any issue.
I feel attacked there just got myself a scorpion exo 1400 air carbon to replace my ruroc hollow due to all the hate that it's getting and I wised up to it being bad however the ruroc will be going on the wall cause its cool to look at
I've been looking for a new helmet. What is the noise reduction like on this one? My HJC RHPA 70 is not great in terms of wind noise and just general noise reduction. I bought the earpeace plugs but still noisy.
Pumps??? -How good were nike air pumps? did they last and hold pressure? was it a feature that caught on? NO... there is reasons why ppl! I bought a 150$ Sena modular helmet with built in sun vizor and a headset... And yes it is safetyapproved in US and EU and ist pretty nice looking... Never undertood the need for expensive simple helmets with nike air pumps.... if it fits it fits.... especially for streetriding in traffic it is more about userfriendly features than abot carbon race performance... -Having a headset and gps guidance and a comfortable helmet that can flip up for easy communication makes me way more safe in everyday traffic than any race specs helmet ever will...
Ive had multiple rf1200's and dont like the rf1400 so i was between this helmet and an arai, but once i found out the scorpion wasnt quite the same as the gp version (which isnt comercially available according to scorpion themselves), i went with the arai. I still want the R1 air so i might try to sell my arai to get the scorpion afterall
I use a scorpion too, you can’t beat the value. And more importantly they are subtle, and don’t flash their brand real big all over the helmet. Just a nice subtle emblem

The EXO and RPHA 11 Pro carbon are both sub 3lbs, sub 500/550, and fully CF. Toss up for me, the HJC is more comfortable and has a higher neckline, EXO has a bit more coverage but both are killer if you want a great helmet and don't need to brag to your boyfriend about owning a SolaLuna Pista GP RR
Scorpion and arai are my 2 favorites
What's your opinion on the LS2 Thunder 2? I got a full carbon one and it cost $600 AUD (400~USD?)
Indeed is very VERY difficult to belive the 550 price. And I'm pretty sure that this helemt is NOT the same that Alvaro wears in races. In general, Scorpion is cheaper and you can fill it in the materials. Almost all Scoprions have this air cushions, it's not a "premium" feature. Not a bad brand, but I would never trade an Arai or Shoei for a Scoprion. Maybe for street use only...
Most people are brand loyal. I’ve stuck with Arai over the years but this maybe my next
I totally forgot my scorpion had the d pump
Got one just like that. Love it. Wish it had blue or purple visor though. Love the visor latch. The air pump doesn’t do anything for me. Took off the “S” branding off with a floss. Pretty quiet with a scarf. Vents are ok. It does press a bit on my jaw from the sides.
Change the visor?
@@xvrexzii4715 Depends on aftermarket support, some of that companies most popular models have like 0 aftermarket visors for some reason, so its highly probable that none exist for this model.
You can do some tints yourself, but its nicer to just be able to buy one ready to go.
@@xvrexzii4715 just checked again, they must have released new visor colors with the release of carbon blue. There’s a gol, purple, blue. No pinlock support for whatever reason. Pinlock might be a dealbreaker.
@@hkravch I don’t use a pin lock and I have one ready to put on, it’s really not a deal breaker. If you notice it’s starting to fog you can ever so slightly open it and its fine. Or control your breathing so you’re not hyper ventilating
Also when you’re at speeds you will never have an issue anyway, it never fogs at speed only when you’re going slow
I've got a Scorpion Exo-Tech Carbon. I love it! It does have a lot of wind noise, though.
got the X-Lite 803-RS carbon helmet. love it, but this scorpion one has some nice extra features
Hey! Your avid fan here. I have a sports bike too, it's a Honda 150. Not sure if you even consider that as a sports bike haha. Love how you host your content.
The no.1 reason i love that helmet is that V pattern carbon fiber.
Scorpions #1 Chief ❤🎉
Similar to my exo 1400 air carbon, in my case this fit ok but it is a little complicated to put it on and take it off, but at least the noise is almost zero up to around 120km/h
I had a exo 1400 carbon
Bad quality liner, not comfortable because of the short lasting foam. Really loud, does not come close to my shoei nxr and nxr2
I also use this helmet except in matte black that goes with my bike. This is the helmet I love the most! I had the shoei RF14 reaper, took it back and traded it for my scorpion. Not the quietest, but I prefer it over my shoei. Looks the best imo, and can't be the price!
for $550 I could definitely beat the price
I like your videos bro very educational to us riders also im filipino too i drive a Xrm 125 supermoto build not much but soon will be finish keep posting vids brother 😊
I changed from AGV K3 SV to Scorpion Exo 1400 carbon. No regrets.
I rock the exo r420 very comfortable and very protective fpr only 250 bucks
I dont know.. I had the 1400 carbon and all the rubbers came loose eventually. (about 1yr). Now i got the R1 and the chin opening just broke/fell off. And i take care of my helmets and never dropped it. The looks are cool, but i think im going AGV next just for the quality.
Cen you show us what should we look out when buying first bike
Crashed in my scorpion exo. I say it’s what save my life! I now have the exo420 and and looking to get a new Bluetooth for it
I have ruruc,shoe,agv,ari and Simpson helmets I wear them all just depends on what bike I am riding that day
I have a Scorpion EXO T1200 and I love this helmet, air flow is decent so I use it for more cold weather riding. The inside material is so soft and I loved the air pump system but recently the helmet started to fall apart so now it’s a shelf piece, but not bad being its 9 years old. 🤷🏻♂️
Is ruroc helmet any good ?
In Italy it costs €299, and is lighter than the x-lite x803rs
I just bought this exact helmet and I’m so stoked!
Bro I just bought an e scooter that does a MAX 40MPH and wanted a full face helmet so I started looking on CZcams. I think a cheap one will be fine but whatever you’re doing keep doing it cause you have that CZcams algorithm down!
This is the speed flex of street biking
Nice ❤, baka naman hehe
May have some decent features, but really any quality helmet will have those. The weight is great, but biggest thing in choosing a helmet is head shape. Scorpion won't be the helmet for everyone.
That's how my Scorpion helmet is but not light
Solid helmet all around.
Lol $550 will get you a Klim Krios which is considered a little pricey in the ADV helmet space. Not as expensive as an Arai XD-4 which is like $700 or 750 I think.
I got the R1 Air, pretty good helmet. Then I replaced it with my K6 from AVG. so much lighter.
What's it weigh?
Love Scorpion too😌😌👍🏾
I like scorpions design and yes the value is alright mainly for full helmets but their sizing is really bad due to 2 shell sizing so for some people its amazing for me its either an m wich is to tight or an l wich is to big hjc on the other hand having 3 shells an m fits perfectly
Not sure what you mean, the R1 has 3 shell sizes and the EXO 1400 has 3 too
@@AntaresSQ01 are those the more premium helmets?cus im talking about the other 20 helmets that cost less than 400 dollar like the exo tech and all those combst helmets and shit
@@Jay-rd6fe the 1400 carbon is like a 350 buck helmet, but even the cheaper range like the old 510, the new 520, that are around the 200 mark are 3 shell
@@AntaresSQ01 checked their site most are 2 shell sizes buddy and american companys are alwayse cheaper in america i would not trust my life with a scorpion ans they sure dont fit well ive had way better expierence with hjc
@@Jay-rd6fe Not sure what you checked because they literally aren't haha maybe the really cheap crappy ones, but if you're buying a sub 150 usd helmet, you get what you pay for. I know for a fact out of their current full face offerings all of them except the very cheapest Exo 391 have 3 shell sizes dont know about their other categories
Damn! I wish I had seen this before I got the airflite, icon gear just seems super good value. Maybe I’m still too squiddy to understand LOL
get rid of that helmet. the owner and creator of icon openly admits they are built to a minimum and just care about its looks
@@1up_doug yeah I’ve heard it’s not the best for safety. I just wanted to grab something before my MSF course that I’d actually wear after. Saving up for a shoei ever since.
I still use my Scorpion Recon. Proudly made in the Phil
Been rockin with scorpions helmets since 08 the only downside is that the visors are kinda expensive😂😂
Would this be a good starter helmet ? I’m just learning about motorcycles and safety gear
Like the features and design
Bought one about a year ago as my first helmet. It was great with one exception since my bike didn't have a wind screen it pushed the helmet up when I wasn't in full tuck. Ended up getting a AGV K1 after that and k1 cuts the wind much better but I still keep the Scorpion for go karting.
can you make a review about the KYT NZ or NX race carbon
I like the scorpion but for $500 I’ll buy a Shoei any day of the week..
This is going to be my upgrade once I wear out my sedici strada 2
Sana all boss
Have one. 8/10.
Ahhhh I was wondering what the roast would be this video didn’t expect it to apply to me tho
Any chance yk if cardo packtalk would fit? Reddit said yes. Cardo themselves don’t have a review for the carbon air
Very easy to install a pack talk. Both the R1 and 1400 have speaker cutouts and plenty of room between the padding to hide wiring. Best way to mount the comm unit is the clip on mount, which also mounts without any issue.
What does the r1 air stand for?
Do they make a photochromic visor for the scopion exo r1?
He says "so much value for your money" like he is a dad
Well he is
Ay man, my ruroc works just fine. But I favor my Arai and shoei
I feel attacked there just got myself a scorpion exo 1400 air carbon to replace my ruroc hollow due to all the hate that it's getting and I wised up to it being bad however the ruroc will be going on the wall cause its cool to look at
I've been looking for a new helmet. What is the noise reduction like on this one? My HJC RHPA 70 is not great in terms of wind noise and just general noise reduction. I bought the earpeace plugs but still noisy.
I ride scorpion helmet on my dual sport
Pumps??? -How good were nike air pumps? did they last and hold pressure? was it a feature that caught on? NO... there is reasons why ppl!
I bought a 150$ Sena modular helmet with built in sun vizor and a headset...
And yes it is safetyapproved in US and EU and ist pretty nice looking...
Never undertood the need for expensive simple helmets with nike air pumps.... if it fits it fits.... especially for streetriding in traffic it is more about userfriendly features than abot carbon race performance...
-Having a headset and gps guidance and a comfortable helmet that can flip up for easy communication makes me way more safe in everyday traffic than any race specs helmet ever will...
Ive had multiple rf1200's and dont like the rf1400 so i was between this helmet and an arai, but once i found out the scorpion wasnt quite the same as the gp version (which isnt comercially available according to scorpion themselves), i went with the arai. I still want the R1 air so i might try to sell my arai to get the scorpion afterall
