# Best Scorpion EXO helmets above $150 Source: https://lidandvisor.com/best/best-scorpion-exo-helmets Publisher: Lid & Visor. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://lidandvisor.com/how-we-pick ScorpionEXO is a value brand that still publishes a lot of detail on its listings, often with a weight in grams, a size range and the speaker pocket size. That makes the lineup easier to compare than many premium brands. The models here run from about $185 to about $450. The EXO-R1 Air is the sport full face, the T520 is a touring full face with a sun visor, the GT930 and AT960 are modulars, and the Covert FX and Covert X cover retro and convertible styles. The R430 is the entry full face. This guide lines them up on what each Amazon listing states: certification, shell material, weight, sizes and the shield or visor setup. Where a listing does not give a figure, the table says Not stated. Most Scorpion listings also state a 5 year warranty, so the real choice is helmet type: sport, touring, modular, adventure or open face. Pick the type first, then compare weight and certification. ## Picks ### 1.
