The specialised farming model

A racing helmet for enthusiasts who love racing. This example is characterized by a bold and aerodynamic design, as well as being equipped with cutting-edge technical aspects. The weight is reduced with further refinement of the ULTRA-TCT™ technology (ULTRA-Thermodynamic Composite Technology), the value reaches 1.280 g in size M (+/- 50 g). A "carbon" version is also mentioned, but not FIM approved.
The shell is available in three sizes: for sizes XS-M, For the size L and for size XL. The shell is in ULTRA-TCT™, a solution similar to TCT™ but with a higher percentage of noble fibers and offers high protection. There is a high level of energy absorption, in the event of an impact, through a progressive deformation capacity. Tested in a wind tunnel, the aerodynamic development supports stability even at the high speeds achievable on the track.
The specimen Scorpion Sports Exo R1 Air, together with the approval ECE, has certification in the racing version END, respecting the requirements of MotoGP®.

A prospectus

Among the other characterizing aspects, we highlight a generous upper air intake equipped with a tension spring that can be opened with a touch, characterized by a low profile in consideration of the aerodynamic shapes of the model. The air is conveyed inside and then expelled from the rear extractor, favoring aerodynamic load to support stability.
Moving on to the visor, given a mechanism Ellip-Tec™, this can be replaced without using tools. The system with powerful springs allows an hermetic and silent closure along the seal. There is also a central locking mechanism that facilitates and ensures the closing and opening phases, offering a generous vertical vision and better than the predecessor EXO-2000 Evo Airaccording to the instructions. It is also possible to leave the visor in a slightly open position, which is functional when proceeding at low speeds to facilitate the entry of some air inside.

Considering the type of helmet designed for sporting use, the 2D visor It has tear-off supports. The transparent visor is also associated with a visiera “Dark Smoke”, therefore the system Pinlock® 100% MaxVision promotes an anti-fogging action.
The helmet inside is equipped with removable and washable cushions in shaped foam with 3D laser cutting, associated with the lining fabric KwikWick®III which is hypoallergenic and breathable. L'EPS with multiple density follows the shapes of the head and there is also a system AIR FIT®, which allows the internal cushions to swell or not to facilitate the fit. With internal profiling “KwikFit™” it is possible to use the most common glasses models.
Furthermore, among the important aspects, a 2nd generation rapid cheek pad extraction system facilitates the removal of the helmet by specialized personnel in the event of an emergency.
Finally, this helmet is equipped with a Titanium “Double-D” ring closure solution.
