Scorpion EXO-R1 Air Helmet Review | Sportbike Track Gear 

i bought one and its amazingly good, riding Arai helmets for years now this is even better and costs half the price, good job Scorpion

Thanks Brian! Great review man. I’ve been searching for info on this helmet ever since I saw Bautista rocking it.

Comprei um há dias, Halley Azul e Amarelo...excelente aerodinamica, ventilação, leveza, confortavel, bons materiais, bons acabamentos e...nesta versão é lindíssimo

Great review thank you! Can’t wait to give this helmet a proper test ride :)

Great review. I was able to try one on at the Scorpion vendor tent at the Laguna WorldSBK round and couldn't believe how much lighter it was than the R2000. Can't wait to get my hands on one!!!

Ordered the Scorpion Fabio Quartararo (red/black) Monster Energy replica and the Arai Nicky Hayden Reset replica this week. Looking forward to wearing both of them. As usual another great review from STG. Thanks Brian! 👍

Awesome!!! Thanks for the tour.

You can never go wrong with Scorpion Helmet. Best product.

I pulled the trigger on the Bautista when ordering fresh Q3+'s last week. The overall fit finish and build quality are excellent. Can't wait to put some spirited miles and track time on this lid.

About time this helmet arrives to the rest of us mere mortals across the pond. Like Brian said, I first noticed it watching WSBK & MotoGP. So, I looked it up and the only places that it was available from was Netherlands and couple other obscured online stores. I have loved my R2000 ever since I purchased it from STG a few years ago. STG is always my first choice to get my gear. Love the informative videos, customer service and reasonable prices...not to mention crazy fast delivery, but then again, I'm in the next state over from them. BTW, I am diggin the R1 Air Corpus Phantom and my second choice is the Fabio Quartararo. My only question now, is since Scorpion has updated their 310 to 320, R410 to R420 & now R2000 to R1 Air, when will they be introducing the update to their R710 line? Hmmmm... Brian, love your videos, they are so informative, thorough...just the way I think and question items, projects/tasks and life in general. Keep on keeping on brother! (Loving the new intro with your son too. Great to see father & son time. Keep safe out there.)

Brilliant review.

If it wasn't for these reviews I'd have never have even thought about Scorpion. I'm going for the EXO R1 Air with black and red graphics. Looks a mega helmet for the money.

Picked up the Fabio one last month. Looking forward to comparing with my Marquez X14 (2016) gotta wait till spring :( but overall the looks fit is awesome! M Size in my Shoei same with this one. At half the price of my 14 no doubt this helmet has massive bang for the buck imo. Thx for the review cheers

Finally!!!!

I can’t wait to see the testing from the European standards & more info on the foam construction.

Great review.

I'm sold!!

Hey Brian, great review . I'm heading to Spain for a week in march for track , is this lid suitable as I'm expecting to bin it a few times and dont want to mess up those $8/900 lids you mentioned so thought I'd buy a cheaper one so long as it has same safety features . Currently using shark gp pro carbon /shoei x spirit 3 and rapha 70 if that helps. Thanks in advance and great channel bro. Ride safe

I think im sold!

Your reviews are fantastic so much detail I’m very interested in this helmet currently have a shark race pro which is great but peripheral vision on the road is poor I’ve tried the Arai chaser x which is a game changer This Helmet seems very good however given the current climate I’m unable to try Is the vision good in your opinion

Great review Sir. I have been wearing the Scorpion EXO-R2000 for almost three years and really like it. It has a snug fit, vents well , quiet and aerodynamic which I like. Does the R1 maintain that snug fit race fit? If so, I will be upgrading to the R1 when it becomes available in the U.S.

My USA DOT ECE version in medium weighs 3 pounds 2 ounces.

Well I'm sold gonna pick up the quartararo helmet

Man I want this, got my R2000 from STG.

Hey there! Very informative video as always!! So i've ordered on of those in size L... my head is 58.6(cm)... would an M been better?? Keep on doing those videos! Greetings from Luxembourg. 👍🏼

hi pal, very nice review , and i am going to buy, also im looking for a awesome Bluetooth speaker, which one would u recommend for this helmet? considering that my bike has a moto gp exhaust and makes some noise haha

I have one question. Which country he comes from Scorpion helmets e.g. (Shark - France, Bell - USA, AGV - Italy)

I am researching this exo-r1 air helmet because thinking join my friends on scooter cannonball run and need light weight helmet for long drive!

Hey great video thanks. I bought the R2000 based on your review as I've had really hard time of finding helmets that fit my long oval head. It's a pretty good helmet especially for the price I give. Jist a little too tight, and noisier than I care. How is this helmet in fit? Is it a long oval also? Does the sizing run tight as on the R2000? Also how is the sound compared to an hjc Rpha or Shoei Rf1200? Thanks in advance.

Nice review. How does it compare with the shoei x14? Crashed the shoei and looking for a more affordable helmet strictly for racing. Would this be a downgrade from the x14? If so, how so?

Love my X14 but this new R1 Air has me itching to get a new helmet and back into Scorpion. How do you think this compares to the ST1400? Aerodynamics, airflow, protection...?

Would the EXO-R1 be a good fir on oval long head shape? been trying to find a proper helmet for days now and most of them (even though I fit pretty well in medium with 57CMs), have been putting a pressure point on my forehead.. (least pressure of all was Shoei GTair2, but it was still pressing a lot against my forehead with the padding)

If I had the clear cut choice between the r1 carbon and the rpha 11 carbon which is the better option? Considering its going to be street riding and touring for me mostly. Also I wear size M and Size MS (57) on HJC and Agv helmets respectively...so would Size M be the right fit for this helmet too?

Hi, I've just bought this as a replacement track lid. Do you know how it compares to my current lid - Shoei X-Spirit 3? I'm really happy with the Shoei but at 3 times the price I'm wondering if the Scorpion is as good an option for track riding?

How do you think the R1 Air compares to the AGV K6 for occasional track day use, and general ventilation? Thanks, and awesome review!

I have the 1400, thinking to upgrade to the Exo R1 or the Bell Race Star. Which is quieter in your experience? Also, how come only the size S R1 is FIM approved? (I'm a M in Scorpion)

So it turns out i made a rookie mistake measuring my head size....at 56.5cm would you suggest size S for the r1 air? I feel pretty snug and comfortable on something like the Corsa r in size S for reference sake... feedback is much appreciated. Cheers!!

Hi, i was wondering are there different models for this helmet? I've seen it being listed as Corpus, Ogi and the limited editions of Fabio and Bautista. Any key differences?

Any chances they may make this in a Snell rating? or at least having it tested to see if meets either M2015 or 2020D? Thanks,

Whats your opinion on the r1 vs the icon Airflite? I need a 3xl so im limited to whats available.

Would you recommend this helmet over the HJC RPHA 11 PRO? Both seem so similar, I'm torn between the two.

Brian from your vast experience, as of 2020 what helmet would you say is the best at managing noise control?

How would you compare it to the schuberth sr2, looking for a quiet helmet and I am between these two. race r pro and bell star don;t feel as good as these two on my head.

I have a exo r710 and love it. But need another helmet to start racing next year. How is the fit compared to the r710? I was thinking about a r2000 but hoping this would come to north America before I bought one, since it has a center visor lock.

Could you please teach me how to use that internal switch in the chin area.

First thanks for the review have a question been looking at the designs on the R1 Air and like some of those better than what's coming in Jan Feb they match a blue visor better. Would you recommend I buy the European version the Air model so I can get those colors?? I am a shopper at your store so your truly not losing a sale but is it the same helmet minus the DOT test is it safe for track?? Thanks great review

Looking for opinions This exo-R1 air vs the Bell star MIPS DLX, mostly street and few track days riding a 2019 gsxr r1000r

Hi Brian, Do you why the image from scorpion displays a visor with tear off posts? While your display helmet doesnt?

Olá estou indeciso entre 3 capacetes hjc rpha 11 pro, nexx x. R2 ou este o scorpion, qual achas que é o melhor, ja agora a minha moto é uma hayabusa, obrigado fazem um grande trabalho..

5:55 "Wind noise is very low considering the amount of air it flows" Can this be compared to the Shoei RF 1400 and Shark Race R Pro and Pro GP helmets??

Hey Brian, how can I get this helmet in all white? I only see the white with black accents on your website. Thanks.

Hey Van, would you take this over the Shoei RF1200?

Trying to decide between this or the rpha 11 pro... what would your recommendation be?

Which would you consider the best vented full face helmet ?? I live in a +90° totally humid place so have been looking around without answer

Looks like a super sporty helmet; would it work well for a naked bike?

Really considering this one but one question. If I want to ride with the visor cracked or one detent up are the detents strong enough for 55-70 mph riding without the visor slamming shut.

Yea i too have a helmet thing. Has to match my current bike or some variation of black. Feel free to send me some of your extras size large 🤘😬👍

I measure 60cm. do scorpion helmets tend to run on the small side? should I order xl?

When yall gonna get some more of these in stock I want one lol

Trying to figure out if I should go for the Exo R1 or Airohs new GP550S. Haven't seen too much about the Airoh but the FIM rating is looking good and they are in the same price range. Currently using an AGV K1. I'm a bit on the more oval side of an intermediate oval, hard to find local shops that have Scorpions for testing sadly.

Hello. it has a little bit better aerodynamic than rpha 11.how about noise? it has less noise than rpha 11 and rpha 70?

I'm looking for a new helmet to replace my 3XL Scorpion EXO R710 that fit me perfectly. I have tried Arai, Shoei but they only go up to 2XL and are very tight around the temple. Would the Scorpion R1 in 3XL fit me?

I wish they would update the mid grade exo R710

In your opinion, what helmet has the smallest shell size in a medium? Don’t wanna look like a bobble head

how about compare with shark race r pro ? Witch one you think better ?

Sir Van can you do a review on Caberg drift evo sir ?

Does Scorpion have an “auto dimming” screen available for the R1 similar to the Bell?

brian where can i get that red and black sweater?

Any tips for when reinstalling the liner back into the helmet ?

Does this helmet work well with the packtalk slim batter pack??

Would this helmet be a good street helmet on a naked bike?

Ok. I’m down to 3. AGV K6, ARAI SIGNET X, or the Scorpion EXO-R Air???? Ahhhh. Choices

I got this one and during tuck on track my chin hits the helmet frame , is there something i got wrong?

Which one is the most vented helmet full face. I live in Florida. Need vents!

Saw the Fabio one last weekend was blown away with how light it was... currently have the 2016 Marquez X14 . Will be looking at this one soon. How would it compare with the X14 ..wind noise comfort. I've only ever worn Shoei. I've also had the RF1200. Thx

Hi.How does this compare to rpha 11 pro in terms of fit? I need one which is alittle more round.. my headshape is intermediate oval but weird because my temple is kinda more pronounced.. i currently own the Avg k3 sv and it fits well... i dont know which would fit a little looser on the sides between this and the rpha 11..

Can you do a review of Agv pista gp r?

Is this the same that quartararo uses? Has the same protection?

...the hjc rpha 11 looked smaller than the scorpion. both width and height. or is it just .my eyes

Is there pockets for bluetooth speakers? I have the scorpion R2000 and the Sena 20S i have has speakers that seem too big for it. It smashes against my ears and i cant ride long with them. My old helmet never had this issue

is the venting as good as the hjc rpha 11?

I have this helmet its very beautiful light but its very very noisy i tried it in both my bikes VSTROM and GSXR 1000 and i was disappointed.Too bad for my money.Before that i had an arai chaser and it was much quieter compere to this

How does this compare to the AGV K5 S?

can we drive at night with black face shield ?

Is this Snell approved?

Is it quieter than the EXO 1400? Thanks

Can the scorpion logo be removed ?

Hi, how is the R1 compare to X14?

Scorpion needs to get their act together and cough up the dough for SNELL rating!! Gettin' a bit too big now for their own good..... not like when they were just starting out offering SNELL left and right on every helmet with high quality materials in hopes of gaining a following, but now that they established a name for themselves, they are churning out helmets faster than the I Love Lucy chocolate factory with suspect quality!

Where is drunk Santa?

1r air?????
