Scorpion EXO R1 EVO Carbon Air
Available in six different sizes and three shell sizes and described as the highest level of technical design and manufacturing offered by Scorpion Sports, the EXO R1 EVO Carbon Air racing helmet is an upgrade on the prior iteration that meets ECE R22-06.
"A beautiful design, lots of technology and an incredibly low weight make it (and its companion EXO R1 EVO Air FIM approved and supplied to Alex Rins and Alvaro Bautista) - the best racing helmet ever produced by Scorpion Sports".The shell is made of Ultra-TCT CARBON, a composite and lightweight material with a high percentage of carbon that is able to offer a very high level of protection - "in the event of an impact, it guarantees considerable energy absorption thanks to its ability to progressively deform. Extensively wind tunnel tested, it has an aerodynamic shape that guarantees great stability even at the very high speeds reached on the track".
Comfort features include 3D foam, KwikWick III fabric, Air Fit and KwikFit. "The removable and washable interior cushions are in 3D laser-cut shaped foam to create a wonderful feeling on the skin by the hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and fast breathable KwikWick III lining fabric that allows the EPS to follow the contours of the head".
The Air Fit system allows the wearer to inflate and deflate the inner cushions "for an unparalleled fit, while the internal KwikFit profile makes the internal environment a spectacles-friendly architecture".
The visor with second generation ELLIP-TEC II replacement mechanism can be easily replaced without the use of tools - the system is equipped with powerful springs and ensures hermetic and incredibly quiet tightening along the entire seal. It has a central locking mechanism that allows it to be opened and closed easily and safely and offers an extremely wide vertical view.
The visor of the EXO R1 EVO Carbon Air has tear-off supports and the transparent visor also combines a "Dark Smoke" visor as standard, while the 100% MaxVision Pinlock system (also standard and present inside the box) ensures a 100% anti-fog action.
The upper air intake is oversized but has a low profile so as to blend perfectly with the aerodynamic lines and guarantees an extremely low noise and has a tension spring that can be opened by a simple touch. The large amount of captured air is poured inside and then discharged by the rear extractors in order to generate downforce for an even more stable ride at high speeds.
There is a Double D ring closure in lightweight, high strength titanium, and in the case of emergency, the rapid extraction system of the 2nd generation cheek pads (E.R.S. - Emergency Release System) facilitates the removal of the helmet by specialised personnel. The EXO R1 EVO Carbon Air weighs only 1,300 g in size M (+/- 50 g), is backed by a five-year warranty and is sold in a "premium" box - the bag is made of thicker material.
