Edit: Spurgeon mentions during the video that the R1 Air comes w/ one PinLock insert and 2 Pinlock Ready Shields in the box and that you cannot swap the Insert between the two shields and you would need to get a second Insert. According to Pinlock you CAN swap the Insert between the two shields, although we usually recommend getting a second insert to avoid damaging the air tight during the removal/install process.

I really miss this old RevZilla gear reviews. They were quick, to the point and honest. Spurg and the gang have turned it into a lengthy advertisement. He says a lot of words, but not much that really helps me make a decision on buying a piece of gear. How about you go ride in the gear, and then tell us about how it performed? How did it fit? How did it last? Compare it to other gear. Is it average, or is it above or below average?
This is my first helmet. Ever. Never ridden, never used one prior to this year. My coworker who’s grown up around bikes his entire life is who recommended this at the shop as I was buying my first bike. And to be completely honest I’m glad he did. Helmet is very light weight. Very comfortable. I love it. I have no other helmets to compare it to but to be completely honest If I go with a different helmet it’ll be this same helmet m a different color. I’m happy I was recommended this. Will by another
What about air flow? Stability at high speeds? I currently have the exor710 and i own a hayabusa with a double bubble screen and at high speeds that thing jumps around and is not stable at 170-180 mph its not steady.
@@MicMurphy1981 very stable thanks to the air pump system. Before I start speeding I will normally pump as much air as I can to make it as tight as possible for stability. Airflow wise no complaints from me
I replaced my aging out of date Scorpion R2000 with the R1, Loved the r2000 but the R1 is lighter, the shield port is higher up so ya don't have to crane your neck back in a tuck to see forward and peripheral vision is vastly improved due to the shell design. It is also more aero whether in a tuck or upright seating position or while doing head checks. It flows just as much air as the R2000 if not a little more. The interior is plush and the new neck roll design helps seal out most of the unwanted wind and road noise(I do wear earplugs). The detents for the visor mechanism are solid. I can leave the visor cracked open on the last detent at the bottom and it doesn't close or blow open even at 80+ mph, This adds to the already great airflow. I love the locking tab system for the visor. About the only nit pick is that the controls for the top vent and chin bar vent feel a little cheap. Time will tell. Great helmet at the price point. Good job Scorpion!
@@InfectedByZanza Works great on a naked. I ride a 17' Suzuki SV650 and it is super stable at high speeds 70-80 mph. Being lighter than the R2000 reduce neck fatigue too.
Very nice review and a very good helmet, i have one, Halley blue grafic. Confortable, good ventilation and aerodynamic, stable at high speed, lightweight. The halley grafic is beautiful, i love it. Sorry if my english is not correct. Motorcycle greetings from Portugal.
I just bought the carbon version of this helmet in size medium and am very happy with my purchase. I’m coming from an AGV K3. I’ll say the quality on the AGV K3 is second to none at their price point. The scorpion in size medium is tighter than the AGV, but after wearing it for an hour it seems to be fitting more comfortably. My only gripe is the air pump touches the hair on my chin which is slightly annoying but it’s one of those things I’ll get used to.
Scorpion's cheek pads are so comfortable it realy puts Shoei to shame, the only other brand that has this amount of comfort is Arai, and that's saying something. Great bucket from Scorpion once again, i had a 1200 before and i just bought a carbon R1 a week ago, extremely satisfied.
Ben Vu agree, I got x14 and just bought the Bautista version of the R1 mainly use for tracks but gotta say tho, x14 have better finish and IMO looks little better but is heavier than the R1 too.
1:48 A "price match guarantee" doesn't "guarantee you get the lowest price". Only if you shop every place on the planet to find the lowest price first.
Love the helmet, just sucks that XL-3XL is one shell size, I’m an XL and it looks like a bobble head on me. Still amazing road noise blocking and very comfortable
Got the helmet, center scorpion logo off center, paint chipping by the visor on the right side, came with a paint bubble/scratch on the chin. Other small pieces off center. Dont know if I just got a *really* bad one or not but I havent had a great experience so far. Expected more from a 400 dollar helmet when it has 60 dollar quality
Did you contact Scorpion USA and voice your concerns. The helmet has a five year warranty that would cover these issues and based on what you have stated they would replace it. The have great customer service! I had a cheek pad air bladder go bad on my R2000 Contacted Scorpion and they made it good a sent me a new helmet. Mine was just a year old at the time.
Yep. My Scorpion had dried glue on the jaw. it squeeked badly, and fell out after wearing it a day. Sending it back was a pain. I just reglued it. Fine after that. China made... Good shape and features but spotty QC. Maybe best to buy in the store. I was tempted by the 70% off end of season clearance price for $80.
If you ride a naked style bike then scorpion helmets are for you. You can pump the air up tightens on your cheeks and then send it and your helmet wont feel like its flying off.
I don't get the "fim" homologation. So the consumer helmet meets the FIM standards or they had to do something special to make it FIM compliant. I just bought this helmet thinking it's super safe but i'm having second thoughts and can't find my answer.
2:45 ? i've been swapping my pinlock insert back and forth between my smoked and clear screen almost every day since i bought it 2 years ago...either it's perfectly interchangeble OR i'm doing something very wrong without knowing it...
@ugar baba I have both Helmets in carbon but the build quality of the xlite is much better, even though the scorpion that I have is the new version ece 22.06, it's heavier than the rs by 100 grams in size large, the liner, cheek pads of the xlite is better and much more comfortable,the exo r1 is a great helmet don't get Me wrong, it's cheaper than the rs and it's the quietest helmet on the market,ventilation is good,u can use a Bluetooth headset, the xlite doesn't have pockets,actually both are great helmets u can't go wrong with any,I think you should do like me!! buy both!!
How would you compare it to the schuberth sr2, looking for a quiet helmet and I am between these two. Like the schuberth a little more but don't know if it's worth the extra price.
If you are looking for quiet, Schuberth will always be better, as they are the only company to specifically test for noise levels. The SR2 will definitely be a quieter ride than this helmet. I hope that helps!
It is a little loud. I wouldn't say terrible though. I rode for more that 400 miles on one trip, mostly highway, and it was loud yes but bearable. I have a stock exhaust on my motorcycle and I can hear it much better when I wear the R1 Air versus my other helmets. If you are looking for a quiet helmet, I would say look elsewhere and look for a touring helmet. Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely love the EXO R1 Air. It is a track and sport riding helmet hands down.
@@kiddcisco i really like my st1400. It's comfortable to wear all day and has held up well for the 2 years I've owned it. It can be a little loud in the wind if you don't have a windshield to sit behind. On my previous naked sport bike I didn't like how loud the helmet was. On my adventure touring bike I love it. Comfortable and light weight. Really depends on the type of riding you do and how sensitive you are to noise. Of course your milage may vary but I don't plan on replacing my scorpion anytime soon
The ventilation system dosent look top notch compared to Rx7 evo And Nolan rs804 Does someone here ride in summers and can tell me how does it perform?
Between this and the HJC Rpha 11 which would be the better one for daily commutes and touring? Also I use size M and size MS in HJC and Agv helmets respectively....so would Size M be the right one for this particular helmet too?
Guys, does anyone know how to peel off the scorpion label on the front without damaging the helmet? I want to get a white helmet like this, but I don’t like the logo on the front
Sorry but this is a frigg'n advertisement, not a review. And saying that the FIM version (which costs a LOT more) is basically the same as this DOT version, is just lying. The DOT standard is a joke. FIM testing is a different planet compared to DOT. FIM helmets are in a very different safety category (and price-point logically). I miss the old RevZilla. It's not getting any better. I unsubscribed.
What is the internal shape of the helmet? It is round shape or not? Only round shape helmets like Arai Defiant fit me fine. For example SHOEI RF-1400 little hurts my temples and AGV K6 make me disaster pain so I am round shape. This Scorpion is okay for me or not? Is it round?
Spurgeon hits the fitment of this video at 1:25 mark and it has an Intermediate Oval internal head-shape so you would likely feel the same tight fit at the temples like you did with the Shoei and AGV.
@@RevZilla okay but for example Arai Defiant is also mentioned like intermediate oval but in my opinion it is round shape compared to shoei or agv. Shoei also fits very different than AGV. AGV K6 make me terrible pressure and pain on the temples but shoei only little pressure so there are difference. Do you think that Scorpion is similar to Shoei?
Originally it's only ECE 22.05 since the helmet came out before the 22.06 was fully mandated, but wouldn't be surprised if it met the standard pretty easy since the EU counterparts meet FIM which is very similar to the new 22.06.
I'm hesitating between the EXO-R1 and the EXO ST-1400. Anyone can help me make a choice? Btw my head size is 22", should I get small or go medium? Thank you
Both are great helmets, it will really come down to your own personal preference of wanting a drop down sun visor or not. And if you check out the size chart on either helmet's product page, your 22" head fits right in a size Small. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
I have a EXO 1400 Carbon Air. The air bladders are awesome actually, it ensures the helmet always sits tight. Without it I would assume the helmet would get loose over time.
It is one of the best features you can find in a helmet. Gives you awesome adjust-ability so you can find a better fit (IE find the best size to fit your crown then instead of 1 or 2 options in how snug your cheeks are you have essentially dozens). Second only to the modular padding in the Shoei X-14 IMO (which every helmet should have).
I had a exo 1200 for 5 years and i now have a exo R1 carbon, simply put Scorpion's helmets are the only helmets that i feel well held in. And that's thanks to this air bladder system. I find that other brands only hold my head by my cheek bone and my jaw (Shoei/HJC/AGV), which is a bit uncomfortable and doesn't provides the amount of support i want. This system really is a cheap/light way to ensure a tight/custom fit, and a fit that lasts over time too since you can pump it up once the padding gets loose over time. Anyway great feature.
I have owned the exo r2000 (now discontinued) for 3 years. I use the air bladder feature on all my highway rides. As others have said, over time the helmet breaks in and is no longer super tight like it is when you buy it, but a few pumps and its back to a snug secure fit. I will look at Scorpion first when it is time to replace my current helmet.
Great Review! Anybody Here, that can Tell me their experience with the new R1 helmet and the shoei x Spirit 3? I want to buy a new one but i m stuck between These two. I Ride on road and track Greetings from Germany
Unfortunately not. The only Pinlock Ready Face Shields they offer for this helmet thus far are Clear and Dk Smoke. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-exo-r1-air-pinlock-ready-faceshield?sku_id=1771721 www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-pinlock-ready-face-shield?sku_id=1589174
I have both. I love them. Here's what I think about them to help you decide. I wear a size large in both: The RPHA 11 Pro has a smaller profile. When you head check to look behind you, it does not catch wind. It's super smooth. Pretty damn quiet too for a track helmet. Nice interior but the leather on the bottom of the cheek pads will start to peel off after lots of usage, also the leather on the chin strap will start to peel. This helmet is much more narrow than the R1 Air. It has a very tight fit. On long rides it does hurt the top of my head sometimes because of how narrow it is (usually over 2 hour rides it will start to hurt). I raced in 2018 with this helmet. I loved every second of wearing this helmet at the track. It is one, if not the best venting helmets. When you open all the vents, it is amazing. It comes with 2 visors and one pin lock insert. Very light helmet. Accepts blue tooth systems pretty well if you take your time and place everything nicely. The EXO R1 Air has a much bigger profile. The top of the helmet is very pronounced and the chin sticks out quite a bit farther. During head checks, this helmet does catch a little more wind, probably due to the bigger spoiler and taller profile. This helmet is not as quiet as the RPHA 11 pro, but I wouldn't call it loud. I have a stock exhaust on my motorcycle and I can hear it much better when I wear the R1 Air. The interior to me is way nicer than the RPHA 11 Pro. I love the way it feels. There is no leather that will peel off after lots of usage. The chin curtain fits very very nicely. It has much more room inside of the helmet. I can wear this helmet all day and never hurts my head. I love the air fit system. It works wonders when I pump up the bladders and want to ride more aggressively giving me a much tighter fit. When I had a Freecom blue tooth unit on it and I wore a leather A stars jacket, I would find that sometimes the blue tooth unit would hit my shoulder when I turned my head. The jaw line of the R1 Air is much lower than the RPHA 11 Pro. Comes with 2 visors and one pin lock insert. Very light helmet. Overall I like them both the same. I have retired my RPHA 11 pro after 2019. Now I wear the EXO R1 Air and the Arai Corsair X. It comes down to style really. I think both helmets are so cheap that you should get them both!!!!!
Ben Vu I appreciate your response but for my head shape and comfort I’ve always found Shoei to fit me better but I do own a HJC RPHA 11 Pro which I think is a really nice helmet but I barely wear it I honestly bought it bc it really matched my track suit perfectly lol.
podrian pensar en la gente con cabeza muy pequeña y cuando se les pide incluso pagando que te lo reduzcan un poco, se niegan. Queria un scorpión el de mas alta gama y no pude por negarse a reducirmelo.
Some people like the fact that a Moto GP rider wears more or less the same helmet. Plus you get all of the aero work done for the perfomances of this rider in Moto GP on this product that you can buy.
It's relevant because Moto GP doesn't just let any helmet manufacture come in. You really have to make a great helmet for it to be approved. If a pro ride wears this helmet, and the FIA allows them to, then that means it is more than safe for us to wear on the road because they are very very fast on the race track, and if they go down and it saves them, then it will save us too.
I like Scorpion's logo on its own, but I like it even more when compared to every other brand just putting their full name circled on there. try and find a cool design but it's ruined by a giant SHOEI/BELL or whatever front and center.
You helmet reviews are mostly useless because they favor Revzilla’s Sale of the unit over an objective critique of the various features - compared to competitive lids or even other models of the same brand. You guys see and can put your hands & head on so many different lids i can tell you’re primarily doing an Ad rather than helping we consumers. Thanks anyway Spurge..
This helmet is fantastic btw. I bought it before it was really advertised much and it punches well above its price point. Ad review or not this helmet is stellar.
Yeah these aren't really reviews but moreso showcases but I appreciate the fact that they put out videos because stock product photos and manufacturer descriptions aren't usually informative enough. Check out Fortnine or similar for more in-depth gear info, unfortunately the team over there can't really address every product on the market but they do go pretty deep on the ones they feature.
@ObamaReally Suucks Only the governments enemy at the moment but they are Dem friends, but the people are the same wherever you go and we are not enemys just guided by greedy fools

Is this The same helmet used in moto GP? Is it FIM approved like the GP helmet?
Fabio quatarato uses it
What is the internal shape of the helmet? It is round shape or not? Only round shape helmets like Arai Defiant fit me fine. For example SHOEI RF-1400 little hurts my temples and AGV K6 make me disaster pain so I am round shape. This Scorpion is okay for me or not? Is it round?
Spurgeon hits the fitment of this video at 1:25 mark and it has an Intermediate Oval internal head-shape so you would likely feel the same tight fit at the temples like you did with the Shoei and AGV.
@@RevZilla okay but for example Arai Defiant is also mentioned like intermediate oval but in my opinion it is round shape compared to shoei or agv. Shoei also fits very different than AGV. AGV K6 make me terrible pressure and pain on the temples but shoei only little pressure so there are difference. Do you think that Scorpion is similar to Shoei?
Is this helmet FIM certified? I want the best possible protection for my noggin.
It's not but the FIM certification is useless in my opinion unless you're riding Superbike or motogp
Nice
Is this helmet ECE 20-06 rated within the US market?
Originally it's only ECE 22.05 since the helmet came out before the 22.06 was fully mandated, but wouldn't be surprised if it met the standard pretty easy since the EU counterparts meet FIM which is very similar to the new 22.06.
Is this helmet Snell approved? For the track
Snell, dot and ece I suppose
I know Scorpion is a reputable company bu where is i manufactured and is it chinese?
Has anyone taken off the emblem on the middle of the helmet and is it as easy as just peeling it off leaving no marks?
how much it weighs
I'm hesitating between the EXO-R1 and the EXO ST-1400. Anyone can help me make a choice? Btw my head size is 22", should I get small or go medium?
Thank you
Both are great helmets, it will really come down to your own personal preference of wanting a drop down sun visor or not. And if you check out the size chart on either helmet's product page, your 22" head fits right in a size Small. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Anybody have one of Scorpion's helmets with the air bladder? Useless gimmick that adds weight or genuinely useful feature?
I have a EXO 1400 Carbon Air. The air bladders are awesome actually, it ensures the helmet always sits tight. Without it I would assume the helmet would get loose over time.
It is one of the best features you can find in a helmet. Gives you awesome adjust-ability so you can find a better fit (IE find the best size to fit your crown then instead of 1 or 2 options in how snug your cheeks are you have essentially dozens). Second only to the modular padding in the Shoei X-14 IMO (which every helmet should have).
I had a exo 1200 for 5 years and i now have a exo R1 carbon, simply put Scorpion's helmets are the only helmets that i feel well held in. And that's thanks to this air bladder system.
I find that other brands only hold my head by my cheek bone and my jaw (Shoei/HJC/AGV), which is a bit uncomfortable and doesn't provides the amount of support i want.
This system really is a cheap/light way to ensure a tight/custom fit, and a fit that lasts over time too since you can pump it up once the padding gets loose over time.
Anyway great feature.
I have owned the exo r2000 (now discontinued) for 3 years. I use the air bladder feature on all my highway rides. As others have said, over time the helmet breaks in and is no longer super tight like it is when you buy it, but a few pumps and its back to a snug secure fit. I will look at Scorpion first when it is time to replace my current helmet.
I love the air fit. Keeps helmet fitting great always. Bought one 10 years ago and the air bladders just failed. Buying air fit again.
Great Review! Anybody Here, that can Tell me their experience with the new R1 helmet and the shoei x Spirit 3? I want to buy a new one but i m stuck between These two. I Ride on road and track
Greetings from Germany
Shoei all the way! I love scorpion and have had 2 of them but quality wise shoei is in another galaxy
does the blue visor come pinlock ready?
Unfortunately not. The only Pinlock Ready Face Shields they offer for this helmet thus far are Clear and Dk Smoke.

This helmet reminds me of the HJC RPHA 11 Pro with that being said I wonder which helmet is better 🤔
I have both. I love them. Here's what I think about them to help you decide. I wear a size large in both:
The RPHA 11 Pro has a smaller profile. When you head check to look behind you, it does not catch wind. It's super smooth. Pretty damn quiet too for a track helmet. Nice interior but the leather on the bottom of the cheek pads will start to peel off after lots of usage, also the leather on the chin strap will start to peel. This helmet is much more narrow than the R1 Air. It has a very tight fit. On long rides it does hurt the top of my head sometimes because of how narrow it is (usually over 2 hour rides it will start to hurt). I raced in 2018 with this helmet. I loved every second of wearing this helmet at the track. It is one, if not the best venting helmets. When you open all the vents, it is amazing. It comes with 2 visors and one pin lock insert. Very light helmet. Accepts blue tooth systems pretty well if you take your time and place everything nicely.
The EXO R1 Air has a much bigger profile. The top of the helmet is very pronounced and the chin sticks out quite a bit farther. During head checks, this helmet does catch a little more wind, probably due to the bigger spoiler and taller profile. This helmet is not as quiet as the RPHA 11 pro, but I wouldn't call it loud. I have a stock exhaust on my motorcycle and I can hear it much better when I wear the R1 Air. The interior to me is way nicer than the RPHA 11 Pro. I love the way it feels. There is no leather that will peel off after lots of usage. The chin curtain fits very very nicely. It has much more room inside of the helmet. I can wear this helmet all day and never hurts my head. I love the air fit system. It works wonders when I pump up the bladders and want to ride more aggressively giving me a much tighter fit. When I had a Freecom blue tooth unit on it and I wore a leather A stars jacket, I would find that sometimes the blue tooth unit would hit my shoulder when I turned my head. The jaw line of the R1 Air is much lower than the RPHA 11 Pro. Comes with 2 visors and one pin lock insert. Very light helmet.
Overall I like them both the same. I have retired my RPHA 11 pro after 2019. Now I wear the EXO R1 Air and the Arai Corsair X. It comes down to style really. I think both helmets are so cheap that you should get them both!!!!!
Ben Vu I appreciate your response but for my head shape and comfort I’ve always found Shoei to fit me better but I do own a HJC RPHA 11 Pro which I think is a really nice helmet but I barely wear it I honestly bought it bc it really matched my track suit perfectly lol.
Exo-R1 CORPUS or Exo-2000 AIR? thanks
R1
That moustache air vents tho.
Nice very nice helmet
podrian pensar en la gente con cabeza muy pequeña y cuando se les pide incluso pagando que te lo reduzcan un poco, se niegan. Queria un scorpión el de mas alta gama y no pude por negarse a reducirmelo.
I like the review but why is it relevant who wore the helmet?
Some people like the fact that a Moto GP rider wears more or less the same helmet.
Plus you get all of the aero work done for the perfomances of this rider in Moto GP on this product that you can buy.
It's relevant because Moto GP doesn't just let any helmet manufacture come in. You really have to make a great helmet for it to be approved. If a pro ride wears this helmet, and the FIA allows them to, then that means it is more than safe for us to wear on the road because they are very very fast on the race track, and if they go down and it saves them, then it will save us too.
Old motorsports marketing adage: Win on Sunday, sell on Monday!
If you want a review go watch STG's video on it
I like Scorpion's logo on its own, but I like it even more when compared to every other brand just putting their full name circled on there. try and find a cool design but it's ruined by a giant SHOEI/BELL or whatever front and center.
Stop referencing DOT it doesn't mean anything.
Does if you don't want a ticket. Snell or EC only stickers won't count in the cop's book. He is to look for DOT in the US. Law is law. Words count
@@STho205 that's fair enough, it just shouldn't be used to determine if the helmet is actually safe.
Any one know any places in Los Angeles that carry this helmet in store?
You helmet reviews are mostly useless because they favor Revzilla’s Sale of the unit over an objective critique of the various features - compared to competitive lids or even other models of the same brand. You guys see and can put your hands & head on so many different lids i can tell you’re primarily doing an Ad rather than helping we consumers. Thanks anyway Spurge..
This helmet is fantastic btw. I bought it before it was really advertised much and it punches well above its price point. Ad review or not this helmet is stellar.
@@tylertietz7819 is this helmet quiet at highway speeds.
Yeah these aren't really reviews but moreso showcases but I appreciate the fact that they put out videos because stock product photos and manufacturer descriptions aren't usually informative enough. Check out Fortnine or similar for more in-depth gear info, unfortunately the team over there can't really address every product on the market but they do go pretty deep on the ones they feature.
@@illuforce It's pretty quiet, but it's a sports/track helmet. Get the exo 1400 if you want a quiet, touring bucket.
@@illuforce I would say it's not quiet but it's not terrible. I have ridden a lot in my R1 Air.
Logo, 1min with teeth cleaning string and its gone and you can pretend you are ghost rider
Good job Spurg!!! But its made in China sorry dude I am out!
Which helmets brands are not made in China??
@ObamaReally Suucks Only the governments enemy at the moment but they are Dem friends, but the people are the same wherever you go and we are not enemys just guided by greedy fools
