Scorpion Exo-Tech Evo - Animo Black / White

As always, great service from SBS. Ordered in several helmets in different sizes to try before buying.

This helmet is very comfortable and is sized accurately for me (Size M) with a slightly oval shape.

Slightly nosier than my previous full face helmet and a tiny bit heavier but not uncomfortably so.

This is my second Scorpion helmet and would recommend the brand and this helmet to anyone interested in a modular helmet.

Went to SBS to buy a new helmet having reserved one on line the night before and read all the reviews.
The reserved item was duly presented but trying it on presented a problem - the flip lid trim came loose! This was the same for all three in stock - and the display unit.
Not the fault of SBS but in my opinion a manufacturing problem and one which they acknowledged - the Branch Manager and Staff on duty will deal with but are now aware of.
So my purchase was a ECE 22.06 Scorpion Exo flip front - the same as I have but 22.06 is now better than my 22.05 version.
Once again SBS service levels, assistance knowledge and valuable help confirms I need go nowhere else for all my biking requirements. Thank you SBS

It's one of the best helmets I ever owned

Feels like a great helmet. Tighter fit than Neotec 2 but not uncomfortable. Much lighter and great flip over design. Marked as good as SBS seem to be a bit of a victim of their own great returns policy. Box was ripped, missing a lid lug and the manual had been thumbed through. I did send pics as requested but didn't get a reply. In fairness I did say I didn't want to return the item so it won't stop me using them in the future. They are still the best out there and was possibly unlucky in this case.

Very well built, solid helmet. Very good functionality around managing the flip up release and sun visor - I can easily manage both with winter gloves on (tested going around northern Scotland recently!). Having the catch that also lets you ride with the helmet fully up is also a bonus, though I tend to only use that when talking/buying petrol, etc. Visor is really clear, with good width of vision. There are a couple of reviews mentioning wind noise - yes, it's not the quietest helmet, but if I compare it to my Nolan fixed full face helmet it's no noisier. So, if you want a really quiet helmet this probably isn't for you, but if you want a really well built and function friendly one then this is great.

After doing plenty of research I decided on the Scorpion Evo-Tech Evo.
It fits snugly in all the right places and has a wide opening for good all round vision when closed.
It's easy to open and close for putting it on.
The added Pinlock is excellent.

I was able to fit my Cardo headset easily as the inner linings were simple to remove and refit.

The only thing I found a bit fiddly is the lip on the visor is quite small making it difficult to lift when you have gloves on.

This is my second Scorpion modular helmet with the fit and build quality being spot on. Currently on circa 1000 miles wearing the helmet from out of the box. The sizing is the same as my last helmet. I choose a modular helmet for two reasons. First, I wear glasses and, second, I need to show my face at a control of entry every day I go to work. On the first point, easy to slip on with glasses on, and no pressure against the arms of my glasses to the sides of my head due to cut-outs in the lining. However, I do need to remove my glasses when removing the helmet, unlike with my older helmet, but this might improve as the helmet beds in. On the second point, the helmet opens and locks securely at the rear of the helmet with a magnetic latching system. The button to unlock is ergonomically designed and intuitive to operate, requiring only a lightly applied single finger press upwards to unlock. Inversely, easy to close and secure with single clutch hand whilst on the move. Pin-Lock anti-mist is new to me, so Jury is out until I have done a few more miles across colder and damper winter riding conditions. The pin-lock visor was extremely tight to install and I have just noted a small crack starting to develop on the pin-lock insert, not the helmet, so might need to have a chat with the brilliant team at sportsbikeshop next time I am in. The cost at circa £300 is at about my personal price point for a helmet, so any more expensive and I may not have considered. I think the build quality, fit, form and function warrants the cost but I would propose that the cost ceiling has been reached. I hope my comments assist you with your next purchase whilst considered fair and accurate by Scorpion.

Very comfortable and quiet. Its visor is very easy to remove and replace. Removable liner. The flip front which locks back making it into an open face is a nice design. Great value.

Only had the helmet a short while and found it to be comfortable and not too noisy. Good quality at a reasonable price.

Really comfortable helmet

Great helmet, the features are great, all the benefits of a full face helmet and the ability to use as an open face, well built comfortable helmet

Great fitting helmet considering I tried on almost every helmet I could. Functionality of the flip up chin bar is great and works like dream. Feels like a good quality helmet all round and no concerns at this point.

Excellent features but the helmet was very tight when chinbar closed. Maybe my noggin shape but all previous lids were L but this one I needed 2XL. Too much pressure when chinbar closed. No where near me to try lid on before hand. 1st time scorpion trier. As always, sportsbikeshop.co.uk were a breeze to use and return lid for bigger size. Bought packtalk edge as bundle. Great discounts. Speaker recess too shallow. Required a little work to have the speaker flush.

Being a recent purchase, I only tested it in the warm(er) weather and it is brilliant! I used it without the pinlock insert so far, and in the colder mornings it was more than fine due to the excellent ventilation it has! Then in the scorching afternoon just convert it to open face and you're golden! My only complaints: the visor only opens half an inch or all the way (some intermediate steps would have been nice) and totally subjectively to me it seems noticeably louder then my old Caberg Duke II that I got for half the price! Other than that, top notch, I would definitely recommend it for the summer!

This is my third Exo-Tech helmet and they just keep getting better. The Evo variant has more safety compliant features but they fit is the same, rear comfy with plenty of ear space. Having the ability to ride open faced or with the chin bar down is a game changer for riding in all weathers, the sun visor on the Evo now sits slightly lower and is perefect. My go to helmet!
