The Scorpion EXO-1400 EVO II is a full-face touring helmet designed around long-distance comfort, controlled airflow and adaptable vision. ScorpionEXO describes the latest generation as quieter than the previous EXO-1400 EVO, while adding an upgraded Top-Supervent ventilation system and refined operating controls. The range also combines features such as AirFit cheek-pad adjustment, a retractable SpeedView sun visor, an Ellip-Tec II visor mechanism and ECE R22.06 approval.
A Full-Face Touring Helmet for Long Days in the Saddle
The EXO-1400 EVO II is positioned by ScorpionEXO as a full-face touring helmet for riders who spend serious time on the road. Its design focuses on a quieter riding environment, aerodynamic stability and ventilation that can be adjusted to suit changing conditions. Scorpion says the updated model improves on the previous 1400 EVO with greater silence and a new top ventilation arrangement that helps move hot air towards the rear exhaust.
That touring focus is supported by practical details throughout the helmet, including a retractable internal sun visor, glasses-friendly cheek pads, an emergency-release cheek-pad system and integrated speaker pockets for Bluetooth communication systems.
ECE R22.06 Protection
The EXO-1400 EVO II AIR is certified to ECE R22.06, giving the European-market version the latest UN helmet approval referenced by ScorpionEXO. The helmet uses a Double-D ring retention system, while emergency-release cheek pads are designed to help trained emergency personnel remove the cheek pads when necessary.
Moto Central's current EXO-1400 EVO 2 range is focused on the Carbon Air versions. These use ScorpionEXO's lightweight carbon-composite construction, while the standard EVO II AIR is also offered in other markets. Always check the exact product specification and approval label for the helmet generation and variant you are buying.
AirFit: Fine-Tuning the Cheek-Pad Fit
One of the signature features of the EXO-1400 EVO II is ScorpionEXO's AirFit inflation system. An integrated inflation system allows the cheek pads to be adjusted for a more personalised fit. This can help reduce unwanted movement and wind noise once the correct helmet size has been selected.
AirFit should be treated as a fine-tuning system rather than a substitute for correct sizing. The base shell must still fit securely and evenly around the head, with the retention strap fastened correctly.
Pinlock MaxVision and SpeedView Sun Visor
Vision is a major part of the EVO II's touring specification. The main visor uses ScorpionEXO's Pinlock MaxVision 3D system, and the standard AIR version is supplied with a Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert. The clear face shield is supplied installed, while the helmet also features an internal SpeedView sun visor with an anti-fog coating.
The visor mechanism is ScorpionEXO's Ellip-Tec II ratchet. It is designed to allow tool-free visor changes and uses a locking mechanism to maintain a secure seal. A City Position setting can also hold the face shield slightly open to increase fresh-air flow at lower speeds.
Ventilation Designed for Touring
The EXO-1400 EVO II introduces an upgraded Top-Supervent arrangement, alongside the two-step super ventilation system and aero-tuned ventilation. ScorpionEXO says the system is designed to bring cool air into the helmet while helping channel warm air towards the rear exhaust.
A two-position mouth vent provides additional control around the chin area. Together, these features are intended to give riders more control over airflow during slower urban riding, motorway cruising and warmer-weather touring.
3D Contour Fit and KwikWick III Comfort
The interior uses ScorpionEXO's 3D Contour Fit, with laser-cut foam shaping intended to provide a precise fit. KwikFit cheek pads include pre-cut channels that make it easier to wear glasses, while the KwikWick III liner uses moisture-wicking, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic fabric.
The liner and cheek pads are removable, washable and replaceable, making the EXO-1400 EVO II easier to keep fresh through regular use. A supplied breath deflector is also included to support anti-fog performance.
Communication-Ready Touring Design
For riders who use a Bluetooth communication system, the helmet includes comm-ready speaker pockets built into the EPS. This keeps the helmet prepared for compatible speakers without requiring a separate mounting solution for the basic speaker installation.
The combination of communication preparation, internal sun visor and adjustable ventilation makes the EVO II particularly suited to riders who use their helmet for commuting as well as longer road trips.
Scorpion EXO-1400 EVO II Size Guide
| Size | Head Circumference |
|---|---|
| XS | 53–54 cm |
| S | 55–56 cm |
| M | 57–58 cm |
| L | 59–60 cm |
| XL | 61–62 cm |
| 2XL | 63–64 cm |
ScorpionEXO describes this as a starting guide because head shape varies between riders. Measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and around the largest area at the rear. The finished fit should be snug and secure without excessive movement.
