This is a great helmet, as long as you keep it under 80-100 and keep 1/4 mile like take offs to a minimum. Cons: buffeting at high speeds (80;plus) on naked/sportbike is really bad. Visors are excellent and 2 are included but virtually no difference in sound w visor up or down. Because of no rear vents/exhaust, riding at high speed w visor open causes even more buffeting and lift. Pros: looks great and super light. Great fit and finish, good overall quality and interior is excellent. True 3 in 1. Even though in beanie mode you look like gazoo. This is def not a race helmet. I think it's for specific styles and speeds. As a 2nd, 3rd etc helmet it's a great buy
Hey Z - We have a few suggestion for mean looking lids that offer full face protection - Scorpion Exo-HX1 www.speedaddicts.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-hx1-full-face-helmet-matte-black HJC V60 (available late summer 2022) ruclips.net/video/crq_NbQeNxA/видео.html Bell Eliminator www.speedaddicts.com/motorcycle/bell-eliminator-matte-black-helmet
The Bell Broozer is similar to the Covert and Covert X, and on Revzilla it runs about $280, so it's a bit cheaper than the Covert X. The front jaw piece gives you protection from impacts too
I just got the Scorpion exo helmet, a few things to note.. I'm size M 58cm and this helmet does not fit. I only ride E scooter so not a big deal to simply remove side padding and it fits fine. This helmet is big, a lot bigger than I thought. It's the booble head look I was afraid of so gotta wear a big jacket, hoody etc or it'll look extra odd. It comes with 2 visors, no one seems to mention this so that was a pleasant surprise. I think its ok but will definitely be buying a smaller helmet like Street fighter MT
If you're looking for full face protection then the Covert X isn't for you. If you're looking for a similar vibe, but with a fixed chin bar check out the HJC V60 - www.speedaddicts.com/search?search_query=hjc+v60
Just a question in this context: being crash proof and being crash proven/certified are two different things, aren't they? Afaik the helmet is not certified for offering face protection - what not necessarily means that it doesn't offer some kind of face protection. Am I correct? Sure, it indeed will never provide the same protection as a full face / integral helmet. But I guess that the front structure indeed offers some protection and is therefore not comparable to a simple jet helmet. Right? Wrong?
Thanks for watching! That would be the Biltwell Bonanza check it out here -> www.speedaddicts.com/motorcycle/biltwell-bonanza-metallic-champagne-helmet
Many brands use different names in different markets (countries). The Scorpion EXO COVERT and EXO COMBAT are the same helmet, so yes chin bars would be interchangeable. COVERT X (the more recent version) has a different chin bar that would not be compatible.
We hear you Ed! Previously we had Schad's B-Cam Monitor off to his left. We've since moved it to front-center to eliminate this issue on future videos. Thanks for watching!
Just got the OG version. I love these helmets. Plus, they look great on cruisers.
Agreed! Happy riding! 🤙
Finally a decent video, and comprehensive video, on this helmet. Still would’ve liked to see it worn to get a sense of what it looks like.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!

I don't think you can stop buffeting.
You mean 80/100 mph, not kph, right?
I like the fact that he keeps looking for his lines lol
We have fixed this issue. The script is right below the camera now.
Are there any full face helmets that look like this that are suitable for impact in the front?

Which came first, this or Harleys? I look up one and both show up. Someone borrowed the others blueprints?
Hey Matthew, Scorpion makes the Harley X04 & X07 helmets. It's the same helmet with a slight different vent pattern on the muzzle.
Looks like Scorpion manufactures those specific Harley helmets
Will there be a Bluetooth or make the visor transitional later on down the road
It's possible.
I got a medium one but my other was a large one so I down one size will it fit
Thanks for watching Tyler!
I want the Scorpion Covert X, where can i find it ?
We have them available on our website.

Can I wear it with prescription eye glass?
Not sure if this helmet is eyeglass compatible. If you reach out to Scorpion's customer service, they should be able to assist you.
@@SpeedAddictsTV when you wear it how much empty space there between your eyes and visor?
Comm system??? Which one works with this helmet? 🤔
Any Cardo or Sena unit should work fine on this helmet.
Would this do for close to town riding around 80/100 kmh and the occasional highway run? Thanks!
For sure, this is a great helmet for that use case. Folks doing more highway time should probably check out the new Covert FX.
Does the old Covert and the X share the same visor? wondering if i buy the gold one for the old one if it can be used on the X
Hey Viral, the covert/covert x Share the same sunshield, should be all set
do the magnet section become loose with time?
Hey Juan, we haven't seen any issue like that on this helmet. Good thing if anything happens Scorpion stands behind their gear with a great warranty.
Me turning off the video when he mentions the front part isn’t crash proof…

@@SpeedAddictsTV Thanks. I’m really looking for an AGV Corsa but it seems to be very unavailable these days.

Broozer the best

How do communicating speaker work in here
You can install a comm unit on this helmet.
What's the gold helmet in the background lol

Can you fit speakers in the X?
Absolutely!
Nice looks less bubblym then before guess im gonna try it out
Thanks for watching!
What's the specific name of the OG helmet? I like that one better
hey patrick, that would be the Scorpion Covert
@SpeedAddictsTV cool thank you, already bought it👌🏾👌🏾
Does anyone know , is the covert's chin mask compatible with exo combat helmet?

@@SpeedAddictsTV Thank You !
They are not compatible as covert does not go full bucket due to foreign law and has different pieces
@@domlong7056 Good info, thanks for sharing!
Seriously d link again?
Hopefully we see a ratchet system in the future!
