3 Scorpion EXO 1400 Air Carbon £349.99 graphics from £379.99 www.bikerheadz.co.uk
The EXO 1400 Air Carbon has an integrated pump that allows you to inflate the cheek pads for a better fit. Something that sounds on the face of it like a gimmick, it is actually really effective and makes the helmet quieter and far snugger fitting. Not only do you get the Airfit, the Scorpion comes with a Pinlock, sun visor, emergency release system and speaker pockets, making it hard to fault the features on this excellent-value carbon lid.
Feeling extremely light thanks to its carbon composite construction, once on (and inflated) the Scorpion is very comfortable but while getting glasses’ arms through is easy, they seem not to sit on your ears, which is odd. Both vents are two-stage in their operation and are easy to locate and move while on the go and effective in their flow of air. A very plush-feeling lid to wear, the Scorpion’s low weight makes it easy on the neck.
