I got one and I'm very satisfied! If it fits your headshape it's a very nice helmet for this money. I went for the white one (a little bit safer but still looks good, especially with the dark smoke visor). Thanks a lot for helping along!
Great review. Do you mind mentioning the fit style as in suited for round or oval etc? I am looking for an everyday helmet for commuting and not sure if race ready, internal sun visor or modular is best. No track days for me unless school as return rider after 23 years absence. If you have videos on this subject then please direct. BTW, I've read a lot of your comments and pleasantly surprised at how generous you are with you time and information. Subscribed instantly.
Hi, Many thanks for getting in touch. Yep, you can. The soft, compliant, padding is positioned in such a way it's actually surprisingly comfortable to wear with glasses.
@@ROTlNAJ The GP550 is the most race orientated helmet Airoh offer and is fairly track-focused in its design and features. It'll work perfectly well on your GS and/or for touring but you may also want to look at the Airoh Commander as a very popular alternative.
The GP550S is a very good helmet, it is more sports-focused than touring focused (i'd say) but it'll happily do both. Though if you're looking for something a little more all-day/all condition versatile, it may well be worth checking our Airoh Spark, which is still sports styled but has the additional benefit of a flip-down internal sun visor. It comes in some awesome Matt and Gloss colour options too. Check them out!
Actually this is an overview... A review for a helmet should be on the road, testing aerodynamics, acoustics, breathability, waterproofing etc... Nicely overviewed but nothing different than a brochure!
Hi Loukas, I've not used or seen an Scorpion EXO R1 myself, I used to use a Shoei XR1100, which I really rate VERY highly but have since transitioned across to an Airoh GP550S personally and I really love it, using it on track and on the road. It looks great, feels great, is quiet and has loads of awesome features packed within it. Looking at the Scorpion EXO, you do get a Carbon Shell whereas the Airoh is High-Performance Composite (HPC), both equally strong but the Scorpion will be slightly lighter, about 100g (1300g vs 1200g). Looking at the Airoh you do get a better-ventilated helmet and, personally, I think a better-looking helmet too, especially on the side profile, I love the Matt finish graphics too. On my GP550S I noticed how wide the field of view is which is always a big plus and the inclusion of a tinted visor FREE (and Pinlock insert free too) with every GP550S is really awesome too and super easy to fit too. Ultimately it comes down to your own personal preference but the GP550S does have a very impressive spec list and is able to compete with the very best helmets out there on the market and should definitely be considered! I hope that helps, if you've got any other questions please do get in touch.
@@bikeit665 thank you for your time and your small review! I have been using the last 4 years an older scorpion EXO 2000 air (the package included clear, smoked visor, pinlock) the quality is great, it is lightweight, the ventilation is awesome, with a bit of noise after 140km/h and I am looking for a new successor helmet! Unfortunately, the shoei helmets (tried the nxr, x-spirit 3) does not fit my head size! I will probably go for the gp550s! I like the graphics!
@@loukasr6917 Glad we could help, sounds like your EXO 2000 has served you well and earned its retirement! Which colour of GP550s are you thinking of going for?
@@loukasr6917 Sweet, that's the one in the video too. It's a great looking helmet, Matt helmets do look epic. Let us know if you need any help finding one online or your nearest store that has them. Ride safe out there!
Hi Albert, Many thanks for getting in touch. Yes, the GP550S is FIM approved. You can see it along with all the other FIM approved helmets here www.frhp.org/circuit-helmets/homologated-helmets

Are there slots inside for intercom ? My Movement S has pre-grooved pockets beneath the cheek pads... thanks 👍
Nice review! Is te Airoh GP550 S compatible with wearing glasses?

@@bikeit665 Thank you for the quick reply!
@@bikeit665 Oh and another question: is it really a race helmet? Or is it also good for touring, on a BMW GS for example too?

@@bikeit665 Thanks a bunch, Bike It! Making my day. I think I'll still opt for the GP550 since it's FIM rated. Cheers!
Just bought one. Are tear-offs really £35 for a pack of 5?!?!???
Is the helmet true to it’s size chart?
Would u recomend this helmet for touring? I ride a CBRf4i

Do airoh gp550s have a recessed space for comms?
I am looking for this information too!
Anyone get the answer to this ?
No space for comms
same price on rpha 11?
Does it have cutouts for Bluetooth devices? Interested in getting one
Hi Jay, The GP550 doesn't no, but the Airoh "Spark" does.
It is a race helmet... not a "tourism" product. I think you are looking at the wrong helmet in that sense...
Hi, the gp550s or the scorpion EXO r1 air, would you chose?
Hi Loukas, I've not used or seen an Scorpion EXO R1 myself, I used to use a Shoei XR1100, which I really rate VERY highly but have since transitioned across to an Airoh GP550S personally and I really love it, using it on track and on the road.

Do you know if it is FIM approved?
Hi Albert, Many thanks for getting in touch. Yes, the GP550S is FIM approved. You can see it along with all the other FIM approved helmets here www.frhp.org/circuit-helmets/homologated-helmets
@@bikeit665 thanks but it shows that only XS-S are FIM approved so is the medium also approved for me even if it wasn’t it’s still a very safe helmet
So an "in depth look" doesn't include mentioning the head shape it accommodates? Seems slightly important...
12.400€ here yes u heard right!! we re in huge economic crisis (Turkei) u bought a 2023 model 1200cc motorbike from this price right..
