Carbon Street Fighter


Launched to critical acclaim earlier this year as part of its 2022 product line-up, the Scorpion EXO HX1 Carbon SE (ECE 22-06) Carbon Street Fighter is a "versatile neo-retro" helmet in Ultra-TCT carbon fibre shell - a Thermodynamical Composite Technology shell - essentially pre-preg fibreglass with, typically, a 3k carbon outer coating. The fibre matrix has progressive crumple impact energy absorption properties - Scorpion call it "digressive integrity on impact" and claim that it "absorbs more energy".



This delivers the look of a full carbon helmet, and much of the impact protection, but at a lower cost than full carbon. Scorpion's track record using composites, including fibreglass, is excellent, and this Ultra-TCT Carbon is feature-rich with micrometric closure, "Aero-Tuned" ventilation, eyewear- friendly, removable and washable, hypoallergenic and breathable Kwikwick3 internal cushion and patented magnetic visor opening system.

Additional features include an internal retractable sun visor to give maximum comfort and maximum visibility, Pinlock 100% Max Vision 3D, EXO-COM ready (the new Bluetooth 5 Scorpion intercom with DynaMESH connection), nasal deflector (to prevent fogging of the visor), double air intakes (chin guard and upper part of the shell) - all in a package that weighs in at around 1,390 g, with a five-year warranty.
