Scorpion EXO-R1 Air

This EXO-R1 Air overview uses Scorpion’s current North American Raven listing. Approval and equipment claims are scoped to that listing, not every older EXO-R1.

Who should consider it

US riders interested in the Raven listing and its adjustable AirFit cheek-pad system.

Features and trade-offs

Scorpion lists an AirFit cheek-pad adjustment system, titanium double D-rings and DOT/ECE 22.06 approvals. Earlier stock and Carbon or EVO variants should be identified separately.

AirFit is a fitting adjustment, not a substitute for the correct helmet size. Raven, Carbon, EVO and older stock should be compared by their complete names and labels.

What to check at a fitting

Start with the recommended base size, then ask the dealer to demonstrate inflation and release. Check stability again after each adjustment.

Start with the manufacturer’s size chart and keep the helmet on long enough to identify pressure points. Follow the model’s fitting instructions and repeat the retention checks after any approved adjustment. Record the size and padding configuration that works for you.

Use the helmet fit checklist before comparing accessories.

Two alternatives to try

• Shoei RF-1400 (US). US riders looking for a fixed-chin full-face helmet and a conventional helmet-plus-accessories purchase.
• Bell Race Star DLX Flex (US). US riders comparing a carbon-shell full-face helmet with the listed Flex liner and ProTint shield package.

Compare these three helmets. Keep the version labels visible when considering models from different markets.
