In this video I will be giving a long term review of my Scorpion EXO R1 AIR helmet. If you are thinking about buying this helmet you may want to watch this first. I will go over the Pros and Cons of this helmet, plus a quick review of my two previous helmets. The Speed and Strength SS700 Hammer Down, and the Bell Qualifier DLX Blackout helmet. This way you have an idea of what I am comparing this helmet to. Enjoy!

I own the Bautista version of this lid so I feel I have a valid opinion of it as well.

We've all been guilty of keeping that shirt that was a smeduim or that pair of sneaks that were maybe a half size small because we loved how they looked. Think about all you had to do to wear this lid. 😩 On the fogging thing I'm in agreement completely.

You definitely have the upgraded version of this helmet. I think if I went up to the XL shell size I would have ended up in the same boat as with my Bell Qualifier.

Helmet fitting question. My head measures at 62. I tried a Sohei XL where it says it's the right size, and it was a proper fit. BUT I tried an Arai XL, and it wouldn't fit :( - had to go XXL for it. This kind of frightens me from taking a gamble and buying online. Im very interested to buy a Scorpion EXO R1, but im in the border between XL and XXL fearing getting a too tight or a too loose fit. Can anyone here spare some advise? Anyone here a size 62 who owns a Scorpion? would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers.

If you are having that many hot spots just trying it on it's too small and you will end up getting bad headaches after less than an hour of riding. I'm guessing your head size is close to the limit of the Small Shell. So I would absolutely go up to the Medium Shell. Yes the pads will break in on the small, but not that much.

My guy it sounds like you bought the wrong helmet for your head shape... not sure if you are aware, but there are 3 different head shapes that helmet manufacturers build their helmets around which are round, intermediate oval, and long oval. If you have all that pressure and your mouth/lips touch inside of the helmet then you definitely have the wrong shaped head for that helmet... I personally have a weird shaped head so this helmet isn't the most comfortable for me, but it's brand new and that foam padding ends up molding around your headshape (if you are within a certain size range and have mostly the right overall headshape). I had slight pressure headaches right above the temples, but it was not severe to begin with and I can already feel the helmet easing up in that area after only 4ish hours of use. Most forums and helmet guides state that it can take around 15 hours of riding for your helmet to form to your head. I'm not at all trying to bash you on your review, but if you bought the helmet for the wrong headshape then this would be the equivalent of me a (a right handed user) to review a left-handed computer mouse and then complain about how it's uncomfortable for my right hand.

I did wear it around the house for about 15 to 20 minutes. Everything seemed fine. Other than the pump being so close to my mouth. Didn't notice the issue till after an hour of riding. Not really dumping on Scorpion, the helmet is really good other than the fit. I probably should have gone up a size, but I was afraid of it becoming too loose over time. Thanks for the comment!

you review sound like you bough a porsche 911 and since you head is touching the roof you made a hole on the roof to show your head and complain that it is too windy for such a price :))))

Know what's even funnier?.... I'm still using this helmet!! 😁. Scorpion actually contacted me and sent me a few different sizes to try. They said they do run a bit small compared to other companies. Extra large fit perfectly and I'm still wearing it today! I really need to make an update video!! 🤷
