Scorpion EXO-ST1400 Carbon Helmet Review 

me either. love this helmet. comfy

Just learn that exist since 6 months :)

It’s the same system as on the exo 420 and I’ll agree with you. I just use my thumb

I have been considering getting this helmet, but that stupid hood ornament they put above the visor bothered me. Thanks for mentioning it can be removed easily.

@@lfreece2 No problem. Here's a bit more on that. The plastic can just be pried off. When I did it, it left most of the double sided adhesive strip behind. This is stretchy, so just pull it very slowly, and without much pressure and it'll all come off without leaving any residue. If it does leave residue use some different tape and stick it to any remaining stuff and pull it up. They specifically mention to *not* expose the helmet to solvents or petroleum based products (probably has the potential to interact with the epoxy that the CF is cured with). Good luck!

Yeah, Scorpion has always made it pretty easy to remove the _S_ logo. -DrewZilla

Thanks for the review... How is the airfit system in real world use? Useful or a gimmick?

@@tomthumb701 It snugs up the cheeks and helps it feel that much more secure, but it's not a game changer.

i noticed that as well

Fortnine and Revzilla are the same company.

Eric Kimani. Everything is a commercial. Nothing is sincere. RZ is his US distributor link. Originally RZ would do gear reviews and then you'd see Ryan glow over the same product a month later, then you'd see the others follow suit. For the last year they've led with Ryan, then followed up at RZ to close the sale. A motorcycle today is like buying a Barbie for a girl of the past. The doll was cheap, but all the stuff was endless, and you need an entire clubhouse of dolls with their own specialized dream house of stuff. The reviews are entertaining, like watching Shop Smith infomercials (then New Yankee Workshop) but you don't have to buy all this crap. Gear up to your needs after buying a bike. Wear it for five years, replace & repeat.... These vloggers with 150 different helmets, 20 diffetent sound systems, some dressed for an Apollo mission, obsessing over $300 packs, $150 gloves or $400 seats. Even if they mock them with a little joke, they're still advertising the product. It is fine as long as you know it is a Shop Smith infomercial.

@@STho205 No disagreements here, It comes with the territory of motorcycles moving away from the niche and especially with the internet everyone is trying to sell you something.

Fortnine only ships locally, i'm from Australia so when I go to his website it directs me to Revzilla, so i'm assuming they are business partners. Also Revzilla do much more refined reviews than Ryan @ fortnine in my opinion

I'm always worried about tearing a new helmet apart to, but it came apart exactly as he showed, no problem at all. Don't think I would have done it without this video

Is this helmet good for chin mounting a go pro? Also how would you define the noise reduction with this one?

@@adilghazanfar519 no, you can't chin mount GoPro cam with 3M adhesive tape on this helmet... Not enough straight surface.. but you can side mount it, and you get a great shot.. that's what I did. As far as noise is concerned, it is average... as every other carbon fiber helmet.. ear plugs help, i wear them on longer rides.

@@Sorvino123 Da li ti je zasmetalo sunce kad (cine mi se naocale ko da su pre visoko), uz kacigu se dobije 1 zatamljeni i 1 obicni vizir ?

@@ynyn8205 dobro si primijetio, naočale jesu malo previsoko postavljene. Od sunca štite dovoljno, ali problem je vjetar u vožnji..zbog pozicije naočala, previše vjetra dolazi do očiju.. ja osobno zbog toga ne mogu dugo vremena voziti samo s naočalama, nego spuštam vizir. Da, uz kacigu dobijes 2 vizira, prozirni i tamni... plus Pinlock.

@@Sorvino123 U redu, hvala !

I've been thinking about it can you tell me your opinions

@@dylansmith697 pros- Very lightweight, great styling, strong build. The interior padding is very comfy and has a nice smell. It has the airfit system which snugs up the cheeks (I dont really use it, but for long rides its there if needed). The drop down sun visor is easy to activate with gloves while moving. Cons- they could have used a better chinstrap mechanism. Just the standard metal loops, but for the price and other features included, i can deal with it. Ventilation could be better. If youre not moving, itll fog up unless you crack the visor. Maybe this is true of all helmets, idk. The box includes a second face shield that supposedly has better ventilation bc of a "pinlock" feature or something. Have not tried it yet out of laziness It also gets very loud above 60 mph, earplugs help a lot.

@@Hobinator17 isnt the air pump system to make it fit tighter and be quieter? maybe try that for higher speed riding

@@DonC23 The pump is a sales gimmick IMO. I tried it again today and it doesn't reduce noise or air rushing in under the helmet to a noticeable extent. All it does is exert pressure on your cheeks that can get uncomfortable. If the helmet fits you properly you shouldn't really need the air pump in the first place. I also always forget to release the air when it's time to dismount and de-gear. I'm leaving that feature alone from now on, but it's still a great helmet.

@@Hobinator17 gotcha. thanks for the info! Ive been considering buying this helmet too

Lol! It's true

No, it's for the Anthony experience

Can't find any ryanF9 !

🤣

Antony ruined our perspective for life...

Appreciate the quick review. Still looking for a carbon helmet with good ventilation and sun visor. Any ideas?

Most with a drop sunshield buckets don't ventilate well. They removed both ridge vents from the Exo410 shell, as the sunshield needed a cavity. The one on top is barely doing anything if the shield us up. Jet pilot shield means no SNELL testing either, which they were obsessing over, till, like HJC they went jet sunglass. I do like the bigger visor tab over mine. Pinlock is nice. Sunshield is going to fog horribly, but who needs sunglass in the rain.

@@GAAAAAAAAVINNER Caberg Evo Drift Carbon

Maybe it has to do with the carbon? I have the regular Air 1400 and didnt have any of these problems. I come from an HJC IS17 and I'm really really happy with the ventilation as well.

@@lungulet Damn Lungu, the Caberg Evo Drift Carbon looks like a great option. I'd like to upgrade from a Scorpion R-710 at some point. Was thinking about the ST1400 Carbon Antrim in black/yellow. But I'm liking the Evo Drift Carbon more. Just a little difficult to get in the U.S. Looks like I'll have to buy on Ebay from the UK. Thanks for the recommendation! Edit: Considerably lighter than the ST 1400 as well. 1250 grams versus 1515 grams.

I have the sneaky suspicion this may not be true carbon fiber 100%. I have the poly carbonate 410 that's almost two years old. It too weighs 3lb 11oz on my kitchen scale set on SAE. How can a carbon fiber ultralight be only slightly less heavy than a polycarbonate with the same shape getting 4 SHARP stars in collision tests. China is sometimes a bit misleading with the visuals. Remember even the padding is showing a carbonfiber style paintjob. Hard to get a true review since everyone is a salesman first. I'd hate to find this is not a laid helmet but a plastic cast one with a paintjob. I didn't see a SNELL testing cert on it. Two years back they were screaming SNELL or nothing at Scorpion dealers. DOT being 'crap'

BigBadLoneWolf what helmet would you recommend?

Well it isn't available in the US, but if/when Scorpion brings out a US version, we would review it. -DrewZilla

Same here.. What worked for me was unsubscribing and re subscribing and turn on the notion again. It should work.

Genuine question, but why are you removing the shield often?

Probably Scorpion, because it has the internal sun visor and is quieter. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-carbon-helmet

The NXR (RF-1200) is still one of the best street helmets, so even though this is a good helmet, I would keep your Shoei if you already like it. -DrewZilla

@@RevZilla thanks! Yes, I love the NXR, except for the lack of a visor and the fact that the top vents are not that easy to operate with gloves

That's not being sold here in the United States, so we won't have a review unless they start selling it here. Apologies for the inconvenience! -DrewZilla

The EXO-ST1400 is the DOT-rated model for the American market. The EXO 1400 Carbon Air is the ECE-rated model for the European market. The helmets are reinforced in different areas to meet the different safety requirements. -DrewZilla

@@RevZilla thanks man! You guys are awesome

You're welcome! -DrewZilla

KDann12 To me in fits more on the long side. Before buying the ST-1400 I tried the Shoei RF series but it gave me a pressure point in the middle of my forehead. I didn’t get that with the scorpion which is why I bought it.

@@kriskinsey64 I'm say way needing a long oval fit helmet. How's yours holding up? Is it quiet? I hear mixed reviews on the noise of it. Thanks in advance.

@@deweysturgill6220 Mine has been holding up great. I did a 650 mile 3 day 2 night trip with it about 4 weeks ago. Never once got uncomfortable while wearing it and we did around 230 miles a day. The helmet can be loud, especially if you're not running a windshield but I wear earplugs while riding so it doesn't bother me that much. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, the ear pads aren't offered to us for sale on their own, but you might be able to contact Scorpion directly for a new set. -DrewZilla

thin layer of dishsoap thats left on for a few minutes and gently wiped with a microfiber cloth till the lens is clear is a great inexpensive anti-fog

The Carbon...

The Bell is a little bit quieter than the Scorpion, but with ear plugs, it's not a big difference. The lighter weight does make a difference though, which is nice. -DrewZilla

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Aren’t you they supposed to be pros?

@@nickaranitis7585 AGV k3 sv - brow vents and visor.

Here in the US, the Scorpion offers both DOT and ECE safety ratings, whereas the HJC is only DOT-rated. Additionally, the Scorpion is more affordable than the HJC, so the Scorpion is the better value currently. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/EXO-ST1400

This is the standard gloss black version. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-carbon-helmet

Fortnine did a video where he pumped the airfit to the point it burst.

You don’t need to worry my exo1200 deflates within about 5 minutes, always has from new.

For commuting, probably the Scorpion, as it has the convenient drop-down internal sun visor and is quieter. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-carbon-helmet

I ride a naked so I rarely go above 130km/h (around 70mph?) but I also get the full wind. This helmet at those speeds is very very stable.

Hayabusa TK It is very stable helmet. You can turn head above 100 mph and it wont try to break youre neck.

This helmet is amazing at 150+. Virtually no lift. I will say though that it's much less stable laterally, if you turn your head at high speed.

It's hard to say, because both have similarly good construction and features. They are also almost exactly the same weight. The AGV has a slightly rounder fit compared to the Scorpion, so that is the biggest difference in my opinion. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-exo-st1400-carbon-helmet *www.revzilla.com/agv-k5s-helmets

It will accept most any universal-fit communicator, so just avoid communicators designed for a specific helmet. Personally, I'd go with a Cardo PackTalk BOLD or the Freecom series from Cardo. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/ST1400_Cardo

Once we have stock, we'll have a review. Right now, that's late-February 2020. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/scorpion-exo-r1-air-helmets

Love to see r1 air review too

Tony Kart Racer check your facts chirpy, my EXO 1100 has brow vents and visor so does my girls hjc

The ST1400 has a drop down sun visor and weighs a bit more than the K6 because of it. I would figure out of that feature is a deal breaker for you and your ride and decide from there. Both are solid helmets though.

@@RevZilla I’ll go for the scorpion if it’s a comparable helmet. Thanks for the advice 👍

Carbon Black i think

It all depends whether you want an internal sun visor. If yes, go with the 1400. If no or if you ride more in a full-tuck position, then consider the R1. -DrewZilla

@@RevZilla okey thanks

the US model we weighed in size Large weighed 3.34 pounds. -DrewZilla

Generally it's intermediate oval that fits most of the American market, and we know this based on sales data and additional research that some of the helmet manufacturers have done. -DrewZilla

Hahahaha okay mate 🇺🇲

Why do Brits say ”bloody" all the bloody time? Dude, fucking chill.

It isn't that big of a deal bro, you're just angry for no reason. Idk if you realize this but there are hundreds maybe thousands of differences in English depending on where you live, so calm down bro.

Pipe down you nancy brit, or we'll beat you again...

First worry about taking back your country from rapaceous inbreeds and socialists/globalists.

beregi robert good thing none of the racers ever top 100 Khm the track would be littered with dead bodies.
