HELMET REVIEW BELOW:
FROM WEB BIKE WORLD - Scorpion EXO-400 Review
Probably one of the highest quality helmets currently available at this price point.
I guess I could say that the EXO-400 is Scorpion’s “entry level” full-face helmet, but that term might also be a turn-off for some.
Maybe I could say that the EXO-400 is the anchor of the Scorpion helmet lineup? Nah, that’s silly.
The problem is that Scorpion makes some pretty nice helmets.
And the EXO-400 is probably better than the best helmets made by several other companies.
We’re still waiting for an EXO-1000 to review, but it’s obvious from the numbering scheme alone that it will be the top-of-the-line Scorpion offering, at least in the foreseeable future.
We reviewed the
in December of 2004 when the helmet was released to dealers; that was Scorpion’s first full-face helmet effort and it was — and still is — a good one.
The EXO-400 shown here is just about equal to the EXO-700, in my humble opinion anyway.
The 400 yields an aura of solidity and quality right out of the box, unlike a lot of other helmets I can think of for the $179.95 asking price (list).
The EXO-400 uses an “Advanced Polycarbonate Composite Engineered Shell”, and since some riders prefer the relative softness and “crushability” of polycarbonate anyway, that’s not a bother.
The chin bar is lined with EPS (expanded polystyrene), which is also supposed to make a difference, but it feels like pretty hard stuff to me.
It just doesn’t feel or look like any manufacturing or assembly shortcuts were taken on the EXO-400.
I’m really not sure what the EXO-700 offers that the EXO-400 doesn’t; at least the EXO-1000 supposedly comes with unique features like air-adjustable cheek pads and an internal sun visor (let’s hope it doesn’t add too much weight) to justify the more-than-twice-as-much asking price.
I honestly think that this is a 180-buck helmet that could serve as anyone’s full-time, all-around lid that should last about as long as anything else, providing yeoman service along the way — as long as you can live with its foibles, as you’ll see. Paint, Graphics And Finish
You can save by buying an EXO-400 in a solid color, but the “Sting” graphics are a nice compliment to the helmet design. Scorpion offers a very large number of color choices in each graphic; the Sting can be had in blue, green, matte silver, silver, orange, red and yellow.
The helmet has a nice, thick clear coat that’s been polished to a beautiful shine.
I did something dumb the very first time I took the helmet outside — I dropped it on the street.
It hit hard but the only damage is a very slight nick through the paint, about 2 mm in diameter. Bad luck but a good sign of quality.
Unlike the first batch of EXO-700’s, I can’t find a thing out of place on the EXO-400 — the gasket around the bottom of the helmet is perfectly attached; the liner is plush and uses quality material; the visor is excellent and the plastic vent assemblies are just so.
Well, maybe there is one thing — the breath guard is slightly loose at either end, but I usually toss these things anyway.
Score: I give the EXO-400 a rating of “Outstanding” for paint, graphics and overall quality, with a slight ding for the breath guard. Helmet Fit And Liner
The EXO-400 fits just like the EXO-700. I’d say it’s a moderate round head shape, tending towards neutral. Scorpion played it safe here and I think the helmet should fit a wide variety of owners, except maybe extreme long ovals.
We compared the size XL shown here to other helmets and based on this example, we think the EXO-400 runs about 1 size small. Our XL fits much more like a size L, so plan accordingly.
You may want to try this one on before you buy it, which shouldn’t be a problem because Scorpion seems to have a fairly large distribution in the dealer network.
The helmet liner is claimed to wick moisture. The liner is also removable and washable, as are the cheek pads, and the cheek pads are available in different thicknesses, which is rare at this price point.
And get this — the liner and cheek pads are supposedly available as accessories in “wild colors and patterns”.
Two strange items to note: Our helmet came with a size large liner installed and a size XL liner in a bag inside the helmet box — the first time we’ve ever experienced this.
We installed the XL liner for our evaluation and we’re assuming that the helmet is otherwise identical to an XL.
Also, the liner had a strong chocolate smell that was overpowering when new and is still there after a couple of months. This was interesting/funny at first but quickly became tiresome. I’m not sure if the smell was added at the factory?
Like most of the products we review on webBikeWorld, the helmet was purchased anonymously from a retailer, so we can only assume that the smell is OEM.
In addition to the similarity to the EXO-700 fit, I’d say the EXO-400 fits like the old
(not the extreme long oval
) and similar to an
and very close to the
.
The EXO-400’s thick padding and smooth Nylon-feeling liner material goes a long way, I think, towards making the helmet fit comfortably.
Remember that correct helmet fit is crucial for comfort, safety and noise reduction; see the w BW
for more information on finding the right fit for your particular head shape. Score:
It’s hard to rate the fit, but I rate the liner and padding as excellent. Helmet Weight
We were all shocked to discover that the Scorpion EXO-400 shown here in size XL weighs 1785 grams (3 lbs., 15 oz.), which puts it right up there in Hungry Man territory, along with the heavy hitter flip-ups.
Why shocked? The helmet just doesn’t feel that heavy; we didn’t notice the weight during evaluation trials and it doesn’t seem that heavy when I’m wearing it.
We never weigh a helmet until after the evaluation, saving that step for the last minute, so the statistics won’t bias the report.
We thought something might be wrong with the webBikeWorld Polder scale, but nope — it turns out that the EXO-400 is a bit on the porky side.
But I don’t think it should be a bother, unlike some helmets that feel every bit of their mass. The helmet feels nicely balanced in use.
If I had to guess, I’d say that two features are responsible for the extra avoirdupois: polycarbonate is heavier, all things considered, than fiberglass or carbon fiber matrix.
Also, the EXO-400 meets both DOT and Snell approvals, and, as the saying goes, “Meeting Snell means a thicker shell”.
Score: I give the EXO-400’s weight and weight distribution a “Good” rating. Face Shield
Not much to say here; the face shield on the EXO-400 is about as thick as can be expected for a good quality helmet. It does flex slightly when lifted from one side using the tab.
The tab is molded into the bottom lower left side of the face shield and it’s larger than normal, which is nice.
The lifting mechanism seems tight but only has 5 detents and the first one opens the visor too wide for just a slight defog, which is a disappointment.
The face shield uses Scorpion’s “SpeedShift” removal mechanism, which we still find a bit cumbersome. It’s hard to remove the face shield smoothly; I find that I usually have to mess with the wheel a bit and the post that works against the detent notches is slightly fussy.
Score: Face shield quality, clarity, operation and removal/replacement is rated as “Good”. WHITE SPOTS AND STREAKS ARE REFLECTIONS AND GLARE FROM THE LIGHTING.
