ScorpionEXO T520 Full Face Dual Sport Helmet for Adults - Bluetooth

In this review of the ScorpionEXO T520 helmet, the bottom line is simple: this is a well-rounded dual sport helmet aimed at riders who want a lightweight, feature-rich option for both city commuting and longer rides. It stands out most for its combination of an advanced polycarbonate shell and the AirFit cheek inflation system, which together deliver a secure, quiet-feeling fit while keeping weight low. Riders looking for DOT and ECE homologated protection with integrated sun-visor convenience will find a lot to like here.

Key Features

• Advanced Polycarbonate Shell: A lightweight, impact-displacing shell keeps overall mass down while offering strong crash energy management for everyday and touring use.
• Dual Density EPS: Multi-layer EPS liner provides staged energy absorption so impacts are dispersed across layers instead of concentrating in a single zone.
• AirFit Inflation System: Adjustable cheek pad inflation lets you fine-tune fit to reduce lift and wind noise at highway speeds.
• Everclear Shield with SpeedView: An anti-fog, shatter-resistant outer shield plus an internal drop-down sun visor improves visibility in varied light and weather.
• KwikWick Comfort Liner: Moisture-wicking, removable liner and KwikFit cheek pads make long rides more comfortable and accommodate most glasses.
• EXO-COM Ready & Speaker Pockets: Large diameter speaker pockets and Bluetooth-ready integration mean adding communication gear is straightforward.

Who It's For

The T520 suits adult riders who want a versatile full-face dual sport helmet that performs well on mixed riding duties: urban commutes, weekend touring, or light off-road transitions. Its combination of DOT and ECE certifications, three shell sizes, and an adjustable fit system make it a solid choice for riders who value fit, protection, and integrated features like a sun visor and communication readiness.

Riders who prioritize the absolute quietest touring helmets or who need specialized off-road ventilation for extreme enduro work may want to compare other models. Also, while the size range covers XS through 3XL, riders seeking carbon-fiber weight savings will need to look at higher-end materials not offered here.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable fit thanks to the AirFit inflation and KwikWick liners that keep moisture and heat under control.

• Strong, lightweight polycarbonate shell with multi-density EPS and multiple shell sizes to optimize fit across sizes.
• Large speaker pockets simplify adding a Bluetooth communicator for hands-free riding.

Cons

• Noise level is mixed among users; some riders report it is a little noisy at highway speeds despite the aero skirt and fit system.
• Built-in sun visor functionality receives mixed feedback from reviewers, so expect variable performance depending on conditions and individual expectations.
