- There's way too many descriptors in the name of this helmet, but here you go. Me rambling for way too long on camera about things that are generally uninteresting. Other helmets discussed:
Shark Spartan Carbon (~$620 CDN, 2.8lbs, sunvisor)
HJC RPHA 70 ST Carbon (~$680 CDN, 3lbs, sunvisor)
AGV K6 ($620 CDN, 2.8lbs, no sunvisor)
Scorpion EXO-ST1400 Carbon ($470 CDN, 3.2lbs, sunvisor) - Авто та транспорт
This shell is absolutely wonderful I’ve had this now for about six months I love the way you can pump up the cheeks to make it more comfortable and solid also love the sound when you release the air for a quick helmet change on the track
love ur review , bcoz u give precise comparison with similar products and ur rational to choose which one
Deserves more subscribers, you know exactly what needs to be checked.
Thanks brother. Great review. I’m buying it today.
Let us know what you think!
I think you made a great choice. So nice to upgrade from a CL-16. Your neck will thank you as well.
Ha thanks dude - here's hoping!
I love the look of the helmet. Great unboxing video. Have ridden with it yet? I'm curious about the noise and how much louder it is over your HJC... ;) I think you made a great choice. That drop down visor seem to hang a little high though., but I'm sure you'll get used to it. AND WHY couldn't they give you a smoked visor for the spare instead of another clear one!! GAH!
Yeah, not getting a tinted visor as the spare bummed me out. I LOVE having a tinted visor just for looks at minimum. I haven't tested the helmet on road yet if you can believe it! Been raining like crazy here. Soon!
Hey, thanks for the review. I bought the standart matt black version today. could you do a "how to" to the adjusting (11:00) of the pinlock ?
and how do i change the cheekpads ? is it true that the helmet is broken if i pull the red emergency things at the pads ?
sorry for my bad english, im from germany.
thank you :)
Hey sir! Sorry for the long wait for an answer. With the pinlock it's actually pretty easy. You see on each side of the visor there's a small metal screw where the pinlock fits in on the tab on the visor. That screw is screwed into a tab on the visor. If you turn the screw it turns a cam on the tab and makes the pinlock tighter or looser against the visor. It's pretty easy to understand if you look at the visor and the pinlock tabs :)
With the quick release - I actually tried pulling on mine to see what would happen and yes, it DID start to break the tabs inside the helmet, so I wouldn't recommend doing that! Easy enough to just unclip it properly and leave the emergency release for the medical pros if they need it :) Thanks for the questions!
How closely did the sizing guide match your experience? A lot of people are saying to order up but I ordered based on the chart because I was on the low end of medium. I only ask because I own a shoei rf1200 in large and it was snug so I'm a little nervous. Thanks man
Scorpion best choice. 👍
I've just bought this. Its amazing so far but I haven't actually used it on the road yet. Literally got it 30 minutes ago.
Right on! Curious if your feedback on the visor matches mine. Let me know if you do a review as well!
@@raeneshadow I'll do one. Mine came with the clear visor on & the dark one in the bag.
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Damn!! I missed out :(
"Scorpions not the best" brother they're one of the best.
Weird thing is that it should come with clear and tinted visor and your came with 2 clear visors. I recently got the R1 and it came with tinted and clear and that should be the case with st1400 aswell. I know it is old video and you have propably sorted that out allready.
Here for the helmet.😎
Nice looking Lid. The Scorpion has pretty good reviews. Once you have pinlock, its a must.
Yes you wonder why they didn't ship with 1 tinted and 1 clear visor. That's one reason why I went with a new HJC this year, 2 different visors. The AGV I just got had a similar sun visor to your Scorpion, I wonder if you can adjust it to let in less light around the bottom.
Thanks G! I didn't even know you replied; damn UA-cam not giving me notifications again. Good question on the adjustment; it's probably worth a look to see. I'm kind of learning to adjust by just moving my head up and down more often but it would be nicer with the temps around here if I could sacrifice some airflow on the face for a little more coverage on the shaded area.
In the Netherlands we get the tinted visor and the clear visor.
Bought one today. The Scorpion Exo-1400 Drik. Color red
@@dasylvo How do you like it any complaints? What can you compare it to? What moto do you ride?
As you’ve had this a little while how is it? What’s the comfort like? and the visor to lift up?
I like it! It has some weird things. It's quite long, and the sun visor doesn't go low enough. But it's a huge step up from what I had.
Awesome review bro , do u know where I can purchase this , besides Revzilla / Cycle gear. Seem as they don’t carry this carbon black...?
Good question, I'm not as sure down in the States (I'm up in Canada). I got mine from Fortnine.
@@raeneshadow How would you say this helmet is with wind noise? Is it pretty quiet at highway speeds? Debating between this and the Shoei GT Air II
@@arlittle13 Honestly it's hard to knock the quality of the Shoei. You know you're getting a top quality helmet and there's no questions, but you're also paying for it. If you do decide to take a chance on a slightly lower-price helmet that's not as marquee-brand you may get a good result, but in this case the GT Air is going to probably be as loud as the Scorpion, simply because it's designed to flow so much air at speed. The air flow itself is going to increase the noise factor. I haven't ridden with the GT Air to compare, but that's my uneducated guess. Let me know what you go with!
Hey Man, So i have had this helmet for a year now and i can NOT change to the dark visor. I just cant get it on the helmet. Please if you have done it please doa video of it. And also do close ups of the dark visor pins that go into the slots.
I'll see if I can help you out with that!
I just went ahead and walked through visor removal/install with the helmet, if you're still stuck on this: ua-cam.com/video/cRJeRdsmWYA/v-deo.html
I bought one and it did came with a dark visor
Were you able to tighten up the visor so there is less air leaking in?
Good question - yes, I finally got around to playing with the side plate adjusters and did get it to a place I'm happy with where it's fairly tight to the seals but also snaps closed easily enough.
Can you tell us if the drop down sun visor is "doing his job" please?
I have the sensation it can be useless versus the sun reflected...is it enough?
Yeah, you're not far from the mark - because it doesn't go that low, the instrument cluster and everything on the bars is in full sun to your eyes at normal head position while riding. So it's a little disconcerting to look down and see bright instruments and look up and see darkened road. But the tinting is not that dark - almost like a mild set of sunglasses - so when it's very sunny I want a bit more tint.
That said because the sunvisor doesn't drop that low it allows good airflow past the face and even at stoplights I can open the visor and leave the sunshade down and still feel like I'm getting good airflow. So it has pluses and minuses in that respect.
@@raeneshadow Great point there at the end. So what do you think about it now after riding with it some time? I'm strongly considering the Shoei RF-1400. But this is a possible choice too. Had a sport-touring helmet like this before and it felt kind of big on the head due to the shape. Does it vent good and cut through the wind nice? Is it quiet? Also how did you get it for $470? Happened to just run in to a good sale? Cheapest I'm seeing on Fortnine at this time is $567 CAD.
@@mckricks1 I just doublechecked my Fortnine invoice and yup - $491 out the door, surprisingly! It must have gone way up in price, which is sad. I still think the inflatable cheeks are more gimicky than anything, I still don't like the sun visor drop down height, but other than that I think it was a good deal and for the price would probably do it again. I don't have a good point of comparison with loudness of other helmets so I can't compare much there, but I would expect a Shoei to be quieter. This does vent well enough for me but again - not a lot of points to compare with - and I ride in Canada so a ton of heat isn't usually a problem for me :) One of the major points for me was the helmet weight, I really wanted a LIGHT helmet.
@@raeneshadow Yep, the current economy must be the reason for the price hike, like with many other things going up. I was excited to try this one on and test the inflatable cheek pads. Was disappointed. Did not feel significant difference and the area that was inflating was not where it should have been. Sun visor drop down height was a big fail too. Not sure how they could design it that way when this is one of their premium helmets. Ended up getting a Shoei Rf-1400. I'm also in Canada so will hopefully properly test it out soon!
use your black full visor....?
Очень хороший обзор! Подскажи насколько он шумный при езде?
Thanks for the comment! I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it's a lot quieter than my old CL-16 was. I still wear earplugs when riding for longer distances typically, but if I go out for a short ride I don't bother anymore.
@@raeneshadow я еду со скоростью болеее 200 километров поэтому ищу шлем в котором нет большого шума. буду рад если вы мне подскажете лучший вариант для покупки!
@@gorec10rus36 Phew, that's a huge speed - I don't know the best option for that, but I'd be looking into a high-end helmet like a Schuberth. I think those are geared towards low helmet noise.
I'm in between that scorpion and ls2 challenger carbon, The only thing that goes for ls2 cahlenger is sun visor goes completely down and looks litelbit better... But again on scorpion that air cushion helps for better fit my head is 58,5 I am in between size.. If any of you have tried both, maybe can help with a decision. Ty😊
You don't need a sun visor with a dark smoke visor
Is this fake carbon fiber? Heard you saying that. Would appreciate clarity, as I am considering buying it
No it’s genuine CF
Do you still having this helmet? Do you have new feedback?
I think my opinion of the helmet hasn't changed. It still feels good, it's light, it does what I need. I don't like the sun visor, it's too short, and I don't use the air pump feature. Otherwise I still think it's good!
We have the same taste in helmets I went with sedici strada 2 gloss carbon mirror shield.
Let us know how the mirror finish holds up; I've heard sketchy things about those polished finishes and it not holding up well (particularly after cleaning) - hopefully your experience is better than what I've heard via word of mouth :) I REALLY want to pick up a different visor for this thing and am still quite disappointed I got two clear visors in the box.
Hi I just bought one of these helmets connot get internal visor to stay in. Any suggestions. I put it into slots but it doesn't lock in
@@jeffreyhogue8364 I think you just need to press it in strongly. Have a look at a replacement visor online and see if you can see if yours resembles it. It's possible you got a defective one out of the box if it won't stay together!
I found problem the clips one in each side of speedview visor was broken off inside of arms of helmet so company is sending me a replacement. Thanks for the support
Mine came with a tinted visor and a clear visor in the box.
That a slightly different helmet (r1)
I'm about to pick this up as an upgrade from my EXO R420
I bought a Ruroc Atlas 2.0
And i couldn't be more disappointed.
Let me get the good out of the way before I bash it.
It looks amazing. Thats it. Thats the good. I paid $500 for the graphic. The padding is absolutely lousy. I can feel the pins where it snaps to the helmet all around my head. Honestly I could fold some toilet paper and it would be better padding.
The wind noise is RIDICULOUS. Its unbearable over 40mph. And the air flow isn't even good enough to make up for it.
Every other time I pull the helmet off my head the pad pins un snap.
General feel of the helmet is so crap.
Keep in mind... this is my second helmet ever coming from my exor420
A $150 helmet.
I wrote Ruroc a very strongly worded email about it, how could a $150 lid be leaps and bounds better than a $500 one? Leave it to a snowboarding helmet company to screw up making a motorcycle helmet. Im honestly not even sure it would protect me in a crash.
Anyways I can't wait to get this helmet. And great video.
Very sorry I didn't reply to this thorough review of the Ruroc - apologies for that! That's sad to hear. I have high hopes for the Ruroc line in general but I've been hearing too much of what you detail to take that plunge.
Hope you enjoy the purchase if you ended up going with the Scorpion, and I also hope Ruroc does right by you in the future!
@@raeneshadow @raeneshadow i appreciate your follow up. i did go with the 1400, I think I've found my favorite helmet. though I do want to try a Voss helmet.
hello are you satisfied with the helmet
Can you write the minuses
Hi Ahmet - yes, I'm satisfied with it. It has a nice feeling of quality and compared to my old HJC low-end helmet it's a big step up. Is it the best helmet in the category? I don't know, but it's a good quality helmet.
For negatives: I'm unhappy that I got two clear visors rather than a smoke and a clear, but most helmets only give you one. I wish the sunvisor dropped a bit lower. I find the pointy back of it a little weird looking. That's about it!
@@raeneshadow
thank you for your time for me
Can you also comment on wind and noise
@@ahmetatesoglu9685 No problem. In terms of wind buffeting - the helmet is fantastic. The helmet shape really makes it stable in the wind (I ride a naked bike).
In terms of wind noise - I can only compare it against the HJC. It's much quieter than that helmet. I still choose to wear ear plugs for extended highway riding but they're not needed for normal around-town riding.
Damn spammers getting first comments in.
I like ur.........lazy dog...XD
Lo siento pero estoy harto de buenas reviews de este casco. Acabo de recibir el mío tras mil videos hablando bien de este casco, y o bien están comprados, o bien emocionados por estrenar casco, pero desde luego no es un buen casco para nada. Las terminaciones son terribles. La capa de fibra de carbono de la calota exterior es muy muy flexible. A mano se nota como se hunde la parte superior de la visera. La pantalla solar está atascada y si la logras hacer bajar es con mucha fuerza, para luego encima caerse sola poco a poco. El cierre es malo a nivel constructivo. Y como guinda, es ruidoso. Lo único bueno son sus 1200 g de papel de fumar....
Translated to English and wow, that's a pretty harsh indictment - you sure you didn't get a knockoff by accident? I certainly can't push the carbon in by hand (if you could, you would have plastic, not carbon; carbon fiber doesn't bend like that unless you've already cracked the resin). I haven't experienced that with the visor either - mine stays where I put it.
Very sorry to hear your experience is so bad, have you tried contacting the company?
@@raeneshadow Hi. Thanks by your reply. Carbon fiber, in fact, flects when the thickness of the layers is one sheet. Helmet is not cracked, such it is unboxed. I can ensure that is only one bidirectional fiber carbon layer since if you put a light (mobile flash i.e.) under the area of the UV retractable lens, you can see points of light between each node of fiber... One thing is clear, foam is light, windshield is as light as on every helmet, and tissues are almost the same. As a result you only can save weight from the fiber. So, if you compare two same-sized, and same type of helmet from different brands,both in carbon, and 200g in difference. Most of those grams, are saved in carbon tissue. This is a fact....
@@sirsolver654 Very good info, I'll have to do some more research :) If you have any links I wouldn't mind reading them; I hadn't considered shell thickness as important as long as it passed ECE rating. I see it's using 3k carbon but I don't know what that really implies. Thanks for that!
How can you review a helmet and not go riding?
Valid point.
Good video, but for an "unboxing" video to take 3.5 minutes for the actual...ehem... unboxing... Sorry, I can't give you a like.
It's all good!
Man, people in UA-cam comments are the most childish and entitled of the entire internet. Grow up dude, this guy is spending his own money and time to review a helmet and record/edit video to HELP YOU decide on your next choice. The least you can do be a mature adult when offering criticisms. You people are the worst.
