ScorpionEXO T520 Full Face Dual Sport Helmet - Comfortable, AirFit Fit

In this review the ScorpionEXO T520 is evaluated as a versatile dual sport full face helmet aimed at riders who split time between street commuting and longer trips. The single biggest reason to consider the T520 is its combination of a lightweight Advanced Polycarbonate shell and the AirFit inflation system, which together deliver a noticeably secure, quiet fit and reduced lift at highway speeds. The helmet balances protection and comfort while keeping features like an internal sun visor and Everclear anti-fog shield that matter in varied riding conditions.

Key Features

• Advanced Polycarbonate Shell: The multi-shell design keeps weight down while maximizing impact displacement for confident protection on both street and off-road rides.
• AirFit Inflation System: Inflatable cheek pads let the rider fine-tune the fit, reducing wind noise and stabilizing the helmet at high speeds.
• Everclear Shield with SpeedView: The anti-fog, shatter-resistant outer shield plus integrated drop-down sun visor improve clarity and sun protection without tools.
• Comfort Liner and KwikFit Cheekpads: Moisture-wicking KwikWick C fabric and eyewear-friendly cheekpads keep long rides comfortable and make glasses easy to insert or remove.
• Aero-Tuned Ventilation: Multiple intake and exhaust vents, plus a dual-position mouth vent and included breath deflector, manage airflow to reduce fogging and heat build-up.
• EXO-COM Ready: Large speaker pockets and Bluetooth-ready routing make it straightforward to add a communication system.

Who It's For

The T520 is well suited for riders who want a single helmet for mixed use: city commutes, canyon runs and occasional long-distance touring. Its light shell, multi-density EPS and AirFit system appeal to riders who prioritize a tailored fit and reduced lift without stepping up to a much heavier modular or full race helmet.

Riders who need ultra-low noise for extended highway touring or who demand the absolute top-end race aero and materials might prefer a higher-end carbon or track-focused lid. Also, those who require integrated communications out of the box should note the EXO-COM system is sold separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, moisture-wicking liner and KwikFit cheekpads make long rides less fatiguing.
• AirFit system provides a custom cheek fit that lowers wind noise and improves stability.
• Everclear anti-fog shield and internal SpeedView sun visor give reliable vision in changing light.
• DOT and ECE certification with multiple shell sizes balance safety and fit across sizes.

Cons

• The built-in sun visor and overall noise isolation draw mixed feedback from riders; some report slightly higher noise than expected at speed.
• Communication system sold separately, so additional cost is required for full Bluetooth integration.
