Bro thanks for being honest with us. I’m using the exo scorpion too for the last 5 months and still super happy with my purchase. Greetings from Portugal ❤️
I love scorpion I decided to get the scorpion exo r420 and it is an amazing helmet your videos really helped and I will continue to go with the scorpion brand from here on out. Thanks!!!
Scorpion helmets are the best value for money helmets in my experience. For street I used Scorpion R710 also because sticking a GoPro for my vlogs was a lot easier. When I started making track videos for my channel, I got a Scorpion EXOR1 which is less than half the price of other brands' helmets, it's just a bit tricky to stick a chin mount on that one.
Just bought it two weeks ago in white color and absolutely love it! Most important part is ECE 22.06 rated which more expensive counterparts aren’t! Ventilation is great too
The ECE marking is for us euro guys, it's the Economic Comission For Europe. The marking they need is DOT. In the US it's the Department of Transport. 👍
@@benmanning4340everyone knows the US DOT safety is shit. ECE 2206 or the older 05 is waaaay better. Snell would make it top notch too. It goes without saying but if it's ECE, then it's definitely DOT
@@benmanning4340 yes for sure. The new ece 2206 has better testing standards for safety compared to DOT. So I prefer to get helmet thats both DOT and ece 2206 certified
Scorpion is on it with a some of their helmet offerings. They could have done a better job with the AT960; Setting it up for a proprietary comms system was a bit of a bonehead move and those modular helmets tend to be heavier. I went with an XT9000. It cost me $500, but it has a carbon fiber shell, the AirFit system, airflow is good, the front vent cover is removable and comes with an action cam mount, emergency pull tabs, and it still comes with the clear and tinted pinlock ready shields with a pinlock insert. Field of view is great. So I'd say it's still a value at $500. The peak on the XT9000 is removable for more of a clean street look, but I like the extra sun protection, and it hasn't caused any head turning at 55 mph. I haven't been on any highways where I needed to go faster than 55, but I've seen input from others saying they haven't had any head turning issues even at higher speeds. Scorpion is definitely worth a look for anyone looking to buy a helmet.
Bell has a great helmet in this price range and even cheaper fwiw. I think it’s called the eliminator and then there’s also one that’s priced higher but includes the “auto tint” / transitions shield. even the $150 version has a better liner than my old shoei.
I'm on my second scorpion helmet. First one came from the HD dealership. Figured out it was a scorpion . Bought my second one off Amazon. It seems to fit well and is light.
You're comment on being ok replacing it every few years is honestly what you'll have to do. My friend bought a scorpion exo a year after I bought my hjc Rpha70 and his lining is already deteriorated, the chin strap button fully ripped off. And he rides less than I do. It's about 5 years old. 6 years in my hjc and it's still in good shape. Great review. Very thorough. Looks like a great choice for someone on a budget
I remember riding my gsxr 600 and switching over to my friends mt07 at a stop light, and hating how floaty the front end is because it doesnt have inverted forks like a sport bike so it felt like you had no feeling in the front. More soft and comfy on the street, but zero feel
Love Scorpion brand. When I was looking for a first, good helmet, I went through a few before finding this brand and it was a perfect fit. Such a good price point, too. For the ventilation - is it possible it didn't feel like the top vent was open or closed because the lower vent was closed? I always thought the two kinda worked in conjunction with each other. But I could be wrong.
Comparable to an AGV K5 at half the price? Definitely gonna check out Scorpion for my next lid. The air flow on this one is a bit of a deal breaker though. Did you get any better flowing helmets from Scorpion to try?
Scorpions a great budget company but I also really like HJC’s budget options. My $80 HJC is comparable to that Scorpion with similar performance and comfort and has the same safety ratings
Yes bro! Fully faired with clip-ons, high pegs and screaming inline 4 is the only way to go! Get that R6. I daily a CBR600RR There’s no need for a bike to be super comfortable but that’s just my taste
Hi Adobo, love your videos! Here is a video idea. I’m 49 years old and getting back into riding. My son just got his endorsement and is absolutely loving it. He’s been asking me to ride with him and I’m currently looking at kawi, and Yamaha z900s. I’m struggling with selecting the age appropriate bike. I know I want a kawi zx10r but feel like it’s too showie for someone my age. I guess is there such a thing as an age appropriate motorcycle?
How's the aerodynamics on it at high speeds on a naked bike for example? I have the R420 and was questioning if this or the R1 Air would be next helmet for me.
Bought a shoei rf1400 and so far for the money couldn’t be happier but if ur on a budget this seems like a really good option. He’ll I’m tempted to get this for passengers
The 'best' one is only the best if it actually fits you. Not one of the Scorpions I tried, fit my shape of head and caused major discomfort from pressure point issues.
Unrelated to the helmet but bro I know what road your driving on, I thought I recognized that mini golf course then I saw you get off the freeway (that I'll leave unmentioned) and kinda freaked out. That is so cool
I mean I love my Shoei Fr-1400... It is one of the quietest helmets... I find if you dip your head down to the tank it gets thurbulent thumping noise on the forehead which seems to be coming from the top middle vent... Open or closed. BUT I also have. Scorpion Exo F1 Air Carbon.. it is exactly as quiet as the Shoei BUT BUT BUT it is lighter and no thrumming on the forehead, non, nope, nada. Scoprion for the win! I rode a MT-07 for while and didnt really like it, I mean its fun and all but it loke it wanted to wash out the front wheel on almost every corner... Maybe it that "feeling cruserish" you mentioned. However I own an R7 and it handles real good in comparison.
My favorite is the Scorpion T520 Factor. Love that helmet. Very quiet, good ventilation. I haven't experienced an expensive helmet though, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
@@MPGY246-qi6xi it's a very good helmet. Like I said though, I've never experienced a shoei or Arai, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I also got the speed&strength ss109 or whatever it is. The $110 one. If that's all you're able to get, go for it. Not bad. But I'd recommend saving the extra 100 and get the scorpion. World of difference.
Hey a quick question: if i have a small head is it ok when i buy a helmet that fits XS-M? Cause i want to buy a scorpion helmet as they don’t have a lot of showey showey stuff
The shell structure of AGV K1 is Thermoplastic. However, the shell of the SCORPION helmet in this video is fiber, which is a much stronger and lighter material, and the price difference is very small, so SCORPION is still a more logical product.
Would it be overkill to get a helmet like this for my talaria sting r? I’m in the market for a new helmet but don’t really want to get another motocross helmet and who knows maybe this will encourage me to get an actual bike
you should test the hjc rpha 70 also very popular helmet, only thing i dont like is it uses diffret size chart than standard so L for me was to tight when a normal L works perfekt
Been riding since the late 60’s. Liked the helmet review. Your gear colors make you virtually invisible in a hell of a lot of situations. Fact; An insurance industry (USA) study showed that a hi-vis helmet increased the odds of an oncoming driver seeing you, is………. Wait for it………….. OVER TWENTY TIMES GREATER, than if you were wearing black or grey. Let that sink in. Your buddies will tease you. “😂We always know it’s you. We can see you coming a mile away!😂” That’s the point. Always wear your gear!
Hey adobo, I've noticed that with the new camera on a small screen like a phone's it is kind of nauseating because of the wide lens Still, great video!
I had the scorpion exo-r420, at highway speeds over 60mph the wind noise in the helmet was horrible. I sold it to a friend for an atv helmet and i went out and picked up the shoei neotec 2. I just had to modify the shoei so bugs didn't get in.
I have an xlite x803 helmet and the new exo R1 both in carbon,the liner on the xlite is better in my opinion,feels like a premium helmet liner so soft on the face,and it’s lighter than the exo,it’s noisier than the scorpion and it does not have pockets for a cardo,field of vision is the same on both!!ventilation is better on the xlite,if that helps,Nolan and xlite are the same company!!
Is this harley division x15 this same helmet? Just curious because I know they dint make there own helmets, it looks the same and they currently have white on sale for 150
Hi, I just order a Ryvid Anthem Electric Bike and since is my first real bike and I need a recomendation for a Helmet, Gloves and Jacket. Could you recommend me some?
I have to say, as an HJC loyal owner for so many years, the Scorpion is heading for the right direction. I am a believer in the old timer helmet companies.
Buy a R7, I would really like to hear your opinion on the bike. But I have the feeling you've already shared your thoughts about the R7 with us. Can't find it though... 😅
Naked bikes are great because I’m not in seething pain after an hour of riding. There’s plenty of super sporty nakeds out there. Especially from Ducati and ktm.
I have a similar visor mount in my Shark helmet, it is very fragile and breaks off in couple weeks/months, which means buying two visors a year. Maybe Scorpion uses better material but spending additional money on a yearly basis just to use the helmet made the Shark pointless

When you see a $200 helmet being called budget friendly while having a $60 helmet. Just shows I'm not doing good in life. 😂😂😂
Yet brother… Yet
Ikr I like my $60 Yema and goals for a $200 Bell 💀
$60>00 works for my empty head🤣🤣
If you’re riding motorcycles, you’re doing better than most!
I thought the same until I saw 2000$ helmets lmfao
Every helmet review should show what it looks like on. Everybody wants to make sure they avoid mushroom head.
That can also come down to people’s build though if you got a real skinny guy any helmet is gonna look huge on him
Bro thanks for being honest with us.
I’m using the exo scorpion too for the last 5 months and still super happy with my purchase.

bought one as my first one because of your short. Thanks! all my gear is on the way too! Don't even have the bike yet but that will be soon.

Scorpion helmets are one of the best imo. It's just a shame I don't quite have the right headshape and mine gave me killer migraines.

I survived a violent high side where I landed on my face while wearing a Bell helmet. The only thing that happened is that the visor disappeared!
i'd probably go with Bell too for anything in the $200 range
The bell qualifier is good. I have 2. 120$ ece and it's 3.5lbs
Watching this looking to get a bike soon then see you driving down my neighborhood 🤣 crazy but nice to hear a review from locals, safe riding 🤘
I got the white in large. Comfortable noise levels are good, got a lil louder after pads wore in but not a lot. Highly recommended for the price point
Might be considering a Scorpion after this video. Sounds like an awesome bang for your buck! I just have a basic HJC-CSR3.
I'm on my second scorpion helmet. First one came from the HD dealership. Figured out it was a scorpion . Bought my second one off Amazon. It seems to fit well and is light.
Hey I just want to let you know I’m a huge fan and you were a major part in me getting my first bike. Thanks for all the tips keep it up.
You're comment on being ok replacing it every few years is honestly what you'll have to do. My friend bought a scorpion exo a year after I bought my hjc Rpha70 and his lining is already deteriorated, the chin strap button fully ripped off. And he rides less than I do.

Just a heads up, you might wanna swap out. Helmets got an expiration date. Not saying to swap brands but 6 years is getting on that line of unsafe.
I remember riding my gsxr 600 and switching over to my friends mt07 at a stop light, and hating how floaty the front end is because it doesnt have inverted forks like a sport bike so it felt like you had no feeling in the front. More soft and comfy on the street, but zero feel
Such a good looking helmet, might go check one out!
I wonder how this compares to the Scorpion EXO R420. I got one as my first helmet, and I think it's awesome for the price as well
Love Scorpion brand. When I was looking for a first, good helmet, I went through a few before finding this brand and it was a perfect fit. Such a good price point, too.

I have the scorpion exo air 520 and have had for about 9/10 months pretty good helmet, quality and value wise
nice review!! try the hjc cs15 or c70 next and see how it compares
Scorpions a great budget company but I also really like HJC’s budget options. My $80 HJC is comparable to that Scorpion with similar performance and comfort and has the same safety ratings
Banger ❤
Yes bro! Fully faired with clip-ons, high pegs and screaming inline 4 is the only way to go! Get that R6. I daily a CBR600RR There’s no need for a bike to be super comfortable but that’s just my taste
I have had a scorpion r420 (crashed) a At950 also from scorpion. Looking at the AGV K1S How do you like AVG vs Scorpion?
I’d like a vinyl wrap series
Hi Adobo, love your videos!
Here is a video idea. I’m 49 years old and getting back into riding. My son just got his endorsement and is absolutely loving it.

Bro what mic set up do you run? Sounds great!
The level of disrespect he has with boxes is shocking.
Thats how i open my boxes lmao. I feel free when i go dino mode on it
Ikr, especially considering his ethnicity
@@kinangeagle133what about his ethnicity?
It's just a box bro.
The ammount of disrespect for the company and us not linking the helmet
was thinking of getting one then i tried it on and it didn't fit me right. Ended up getting an AGV K6S instead and its fits so well.
Love mine I have the white one it’s definitely a step up from my old bell lmao
Bought a shoei rf1400 and so far for the money couldn’t be happier but if ur on a budget this seems like a really good option. He’ll I’m tempted to get this for passengers
Subscribed, what camera are you using for the ride?
I feel like you used to watch Neistat vlogs back in the day 😂 great content.
I still watch neistat - i appreciate the comment. Only a few of you notice the inspiration
The 'best' one is only the best if it actually fits you. Not one of the Scorpions I tried, fit my shape of head and caused major discomfort from pressure point issues.

There's one arai helmet that has some really comfortable and soft liner. Its the contour x
I was just wondering how you record your sound while riding. My external mic doesn’t filter out any sound.
Adobo, why you don't get engine remap and they can change only thing which is engine braking (small amount on full injection on released throttle)
I mean I love my Shoei Fr-1400... It is one of the quietest helmets...

@@adamritchey4209 Yo appreciate the advice I gonna try buy it.
My t520 has so much wind buffering its almost deafening. 5/10
Did you get a size small based on scorpion's size chart or did you size down?
Hey a quick question: if i have a small head is it ok when i buy a helmet that fits XS-M? Cause i want to buy a scorpion helmet as they don’t have a lot of showey showey stuff
If you want a cheap nice helmet get a agv K-1 . It's very aerodynamic . Has a wide view . Light . Has all the safety things and is even cheaper
The shell structure of AGV K1 is Thermoplastic. However, the shell of the SCORPION helmet in this video is fiber, which is a much stronger and lighter material, and the price difference is very small, so SCORPION is still a more logical product.
Scorpion is 80 Euro more and weighs 150 gramms less, both size M.
To each their own what they want .
Covert FX is fiberglass thou. Better than k1. K6 s is better helmet than both ofc
Sweet bike and helmet!
Hi, can you do a review on the NOLAN N100-5 UPWIND ? thanks
This video review make me get one and I like it !! Scorpion get this man some $CASH$ 😄

Been riding since the late 60’s.
Liked the helmet review.
Your gear colors make you virtually invisible in a hell of a lot of situations.
Fact;

Wait for it…………..
OVER TWENTY TIMES GREATER, than if you were wearing black or grey.
Let that sink in.
Your buddies will tease you.
“😂We always know it’s you. We can see you coming a mile away!😂”
That’s the point.
Always wear your gear!
were you wearing earplugs on the ride (highway noise test to be specific)?
2:52 bike could probably use a flash to smooth it out adobo papi
Have an nc700x gives the same feeling cruiser vibes as these, same reason I'm selling it
I currently wear a scorpion st1400 and it is quieter than the shoes gt air I had before AND more comfortable
Hey adobo, I've noticed that with the new camera on a small screen like a phone's it is kind of nauseating because of the wide lens
Still, great video!
Just bought this helmet a few days ago!
i had to check their line up (scorpion) they actually have some models as cheap as $100... i still use Shoei, wanna try AGV too
AGV is good 😊. I tried AGV K1
What do you think about the agv k-1 as a starter helmet?
We need a video about the best middle weight naked bike but don't forget duke790 and 890
What about the Bogotto Rapto helmet?? Would love to see a review
Not sure if i love the shape entirely but it does sound pretty awesome otherwise
Style matters
Hello, I am wondering what size hat are you? I am 7 1/8. Should I go for the X-small? Thank you..
📢📢 Earplugs ppl. Earplugs
I had the scorpion exo-r420, at highway speeds over 60mph the wind noise in the helmet was horrible. I sold it to a friend for an atv helmet and i went out and picked up the shoei neotec 2. I just had to modify the shoei so bugs didn't get in.
just bought this helmet at RevZilla can't wait to get home and show my brothers
Ay!!! Rolling through Lakewood! I've been looking at this same helmet, great review ✌️
KYT TT course helmet is excellent for $145. I just bought my 3rd one to add to collection
I like mine. Was just looking for a new plain less expensive helmet to ride my v2. Didn’t need another $1000.00 helmet
I do like how all these companies are dropping these bandit style full face helmets. If nothing else I'm a fan of the style
What do you think about the sedici strada 2
The bags on top of the scale 😂
How would you say the scorpion exo1400 2 is? The non carbon one
I’ll check this helmet out for my second helmet. Have you tried any Nolan helmets?
I have an xlite x803 helmet and the new exo R1 both in carbon,the liner on the xlite is better in my opinion,feels like a premium helmet liner so soft on the face,and it’s lighter than the exo,it’s noisier than the scorpion and it does not have pockets for a cardo,field of vision is the same on both!!ventilation is better on the xlite,if that helps,Nolan and xlite are the same company!!
Is this harley division x15 this same helmet? Just curious because I know they dint make there own helmets, it looks the same and they currently have white on sale for 150
Is the chin mount flat or curved. I can't tell if that front chin is completely flat or not.
Hi, I just order a Ryvid Anthem Electric Bike and since is my first real bike and I need a recomendation for a Helmet, Gloves and Jacket. Could you recommend me some?
What do you think about HJC I10 helmet
Since most helmets have the same shell size for XS and S, you can just buy the pads for the XS. Which will be thicker pads than SM helmet.
Definitely. I’ve done that
I am a new rider and I’m looking for helmet i am between Scorpion EXO-520 Evo Air or the AGV K1 S what would you recommend? Both are at same price
How does it compare to the AGV K1?
I have only ever used Scorpion helmets they are almost perfect helmets if you don't mind some good wind noise lol
I have to say, as an HJC loyal owner for so many years, the Scorpion is heading for the right direction. I am a believer in the old timer helmet companies.
That bike is cute. Is it a gixxer? ❤❤❤
Buy a R7, I would really like to hear your opinion on the bike. But I have the feeling you've already shared your thoughts about the R7 with us. Can't find it though... 😅
Rather buy an r6
Great review, really kept my attention!
Naked bikes are great because I’m not in seething pain after an hour of riding. There’s plenty of super sporty nakeds out there. Especially from Ducati and ktm.
What do you normally ride?
I was debating to get agv k1-s but your review is making me rethink my choice. Thanks for the great review
Chess set goes hard
Any one know about a replacement for the the latch that the visor shuts down on in the middle of the helmet? I can’t find anything about it.
I have a similar visor mount in my Shark helmet, it is very fragile and breaks off in couple weeks/months, which means buying two visors a year. Maybe Scorpion uses better material but spending additional money on a yearly basis just to use the helmet made the Shark pointless
I have a Scorpion R-420 I paid less than $200 for and it carries both DOT and SNELL certification. My favorite helmet to date and very comfy.
lool the swedish music at the begining wohoo :)
Did you have ear plugs in or off for the test?
Love mine!! Tested on long trips as well.
