ScorpionExo's EXO-R1 Evo II Air Leads Its 2025 Helmet Collection

ScorpionExo used EICMA in November 2024 to show its 2025 helmet collection, led by a new racing flagship, the EXO-R1 Evo II Air. It has an Ultra-TCT composite shell, inflatable AirFit cheek pads, an emergency cheek-pad release, a titanium double-D strap and an anti-fog system.

EICMA published ScorpionExo's announcement on Nov. 2, 2024. It describes the 2025 collection, not a November 2026 launch, and it doesn't give prices, certifications or U.S. availability.

Key points:

• Flagship: the EXO-R1 Evo II Air, ScorpionExo's new top racing helmet.
• Shell: Ultra-TCT, which ScorpionExo describes as light and designed to deform gradually.
• Fit: AirFit cheek pads you can inflate and deflate.
• Safety detail: E.R.S. emergency release for the cheek pads.
• Closure: titanium double-D ring, plus an anti-fog system.

The 2025 Collection

ScorpionExo named four helmets in its 2025 lineup:

1. EXO-R1 Evo II Air, the racing flagship.
2. Apex EXO-GT SP Air.
3. ADF-9000 Carbon Air.
4. EXO-Z1.

The features below are for the EXO-R1 Evo II Air only. Don't assume the other three share them.

Shell

ScorpionExo calls the shell material Ultra-TCT, a composite it describes as lightweight and able to deform gradually in an impact. That's how the company describes its design. The announcement doesn't give a weight or impact test results.

Fit and Comfort

The AirFit system lets you pump up or deflate the cheek pads, so you can snug the fit around your face. A tight fit matters on a racing helmet, since a helmet that shifts at speed is tiring and distracting.

ScorpionExo's European model listing identifies a Pinlock-compatible visor.

Emergency Release and Closure

The E.R.S. (Emergency Release System) lets medical staff pull the cheek pads out before removing the helmet. ScorpionExo describes it as a feature for emergency responders.

The chin strap uses a double-D ring made of titanium, a closure used on many racing helmets.

Certification Depends on the Market

The 2024 show announcement does not specify a standard. ScorpionExo lists ECE R22.06 for the European EXO-R1 Evo II Air Valere. That does not establish DOT, Snell or FIM status for another variant. Check the exact helmet label for U.S. road use and your organizer’s rules for the track.

What It Means for U.S. Riders

ScorpionExo sells helmets in the U.S., but the announcement doesn't confirm U.S. timing, pricing or certification for this model.

If you ride with an expensive helmet, check your insurance policy's limit for riding gear. Some policies cover helmets and gear damaged in a crash only up to a fixed amount, and a few don't cover them at all unless you add it.
