Not that good bad on the ears

not worth the price
05 October 2024 by Ady
Overall this helmet is not worth the cost. It would be more suited to the sub £100 range.
Bad Points
VISOR
The Visor has very little adjustment, It's either too far open or it's close, if you try to have it open at certain points it just slams closed at around 50mph and the bang is extremely loud.
VENTS
The Vents are difficult to press and DON'T actually vent, Even at motorway speeds it's not possible to feel the vents working.
FOG
THe Visor suffers from fogging on the bottom third that can only be rectified by having the visor open.
WIND NOISE
The wind noise experienced from this helmet from around 40mph onwards is excruciating.
The noise is so bad I can't even hear my Race exhaust over the wind noise.
I've had to buy earplugs to stop the pain the Tinnitus the noise creates which for me takes away from the experience of riding and makes it unsafe as i can hear other road users.
Good Points
SUN GLASSES
The Internal sunglasses are a nice feature
COMFORTABLE
Its fairly comfortable despite its weight.
BAG
It comes with a storage bag.
Style: Kripta Black / Silver

Scorpion Exo-491 - Matt Black
02 October 2024 by Dave A
This helmet and the tinted visor is a superb combination, my other helmets are Shark and Bell, which have been good helmets, but this Scorpion one is on another level.
Its so quiet, with very minimal wind noise and the comfort, well all i can say is it's plush.
To say that after many years of riding and wearing various brands this has definately become my favourite by far and to top it off it was great value for money.
I'll absolutely be buying this brand again and definately be buying from SportsBikeShop again.
Choices are vast and super value for money.
Big thanks to them and their team.

Good design, fit me perfect
03 November 2023 by Simeon Y
Good design, fit me perfect (size was correct) not much noise and wind coming .Visor slightly fogs up on cold days, it's a shame not coming with pinlock, and also not coming like pictures with mirror visor

Great fit but too heavy
15 July 2023 by Lea E
The helmet itself was fab but realised it was too heavy after wearing around the house for a bit. Glad it's so easy to return though!

Amazing product!
29 June 2023 by Anonymous
I love this helmet! It's great fit and super comfy. The air vents make it super cool and it has a pin lock visor+ sun visor! It is also cheap and affordable which I think is great for how good this helmet is! Definitely worth it. I recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a comfortable and safe ride!

Fantastic value
19 June 2023 by Matthew R
Great product. Well made with top notch features and upto current safety regs. Integral sun visor is a bonus and truly helps on sunny days. Ventilation stops steaming and a hot head. Great value. Free next day delivery what's not to like.

Quiet also A+++ product.
