Scorpion EXO ADX-1 Adventure Helmet Review

The Scorpion EXO ADX-1 adventure helmet is the latest addition to the French manufacturer’s line-up.
We tested it in hot and humid weather in Thailand.
The test route included twisty roads, high-speed sections and slow off-road riding.

With the dual-sport/adventure segment growing the fastest now, so is the riding gear to match. And from the French helmet maker, Scorpion, is this Scorpion EXO ADX-1 adventure helmet.

I had wanted to test it during the KTM 790 International Media Launch in Morocco, but it was out of stock. But thankfully, Hodaka Motoworld put out an express order and it arrived just in time for the Moto Guzzi V85TT Asia-Pacific Media Launch in Thailand.

What is it?

The Scorpion EXO ADX-1 is a modular, flip-up adventure helmet. It has a peak as with other adventure helmets but the chinbar can also be flipped up. The peak moves backwards slightly when the chinbar is pushed up.

Other features include:

Speedview retractable sunvisor which is UV400 protection approved with EverClear anti-fog coating. A switch just behind the “sidepods” activates it.
KickFit pockets for eyeglasses.
KwikWick2 comfort lining sheaths the interior padding. It’s pleasant to the touch, making the interior feel luxurious.
Wind tunnel designed thermoplastic resin shell.
Chinbar with EPS protection.
Built-in breath guard to direct breathing away from the visor.
Micrometric chin strap buckle.
3-vent airflow system. One each at the chin, top and rear of the helmet.
Removable peak to turn the helmet into a road flip-up helmet.
ECE 22.05 approved.
Pinlock Maxvision anti-fog insert included.

Fit and comfort

The paddings in the helmet felt like pillows and were certainly very comfortable. However, being a flip-up helmet, the cheekpads squeeze on the cheeks when the chinbar was locked in position. the tightness disappeared over time as the padding adjusts to your facial features. As such, it was easier to slip on and remove the helmet with the chinbar up.

Fit turned out to be surprisingly good, despite the shell taking on a long-oval shape. I have a round oval head profile, thus could only wear certain helmets without getting a splitting headache. If you can wear an Arai, HJC or Shoei comfortably, you ought to find the ADX-1 comfortable, as well.

Further paddings surround the chinstrap, providing extra comfort in to your upper neck.

Riding with the helmet

Rain was forecast during our media ride, but temperatures soared to 36-degrees Celsius with 80%-plus humidity, instead!

The chinbar flipped up smoothly, needing a firm push to lock it in the top-most position. But I truly appreciated how easy it was to flip back down and click into position. It didn’t need a hard slap to lock, hence keeping the helmet in the position you chose without dragging the helmet downwards.

The visor can be opened in steps, but the first step was rather high up. Then again, you’re not supposed to open the visor when it rains to prevent water from dripping down into the Pinlock insert. Slipping open the visor helps during low speeds in hot weather, however.

Regardless, the aperture is wide and afforded great forward view ahead. Peripheral vision was also really good when i turned my head to the sides to view behind.

I always ride with earplugs, regardless of helmet. As speeds increased over 120 km/h, there was a slight rumbling inside, but it was actually quieter than most adventure helmets.

But what surprised me even more was how the helmet stayed stable even at speeds of 160 km/h and above. There was absolutely zero buffeting and lift, no blurred vision and fatigue, even with a GoPro mounted on top. The shell has plenty of strips and “nicks” around it for aerodynamic purposes. They make the helmet look cool, too!

The vents appeared small, but they moved air quickly through the helmet reasonably well. I only flipped up the helmet only once to grab some air when we started pulling out of a parking lot and kept it down even when riding off-road and through a stream at crawling speeds.

Conclusion

The Scorpion EXO ADX-1 passed the test with flying colours. It goes on record as the very first flip-up helmet that I truly liked.

To top it off, the ADX-1 is available at a price of only RM 1,350 (retail), making it a real value buy. Just Google the model and you can see that it’s highly rated in the many countries it’s available in.

This variant is called the Battleflag, but it’s also available in many other interesting graphics and colours.

VIDEO: Honda Mean Mower V2 Sets World Record for Fastest Lawn Mower

The Honda Mean Mower V2 now holds the record for the fastest accelerating sit-in lawn mower.
It averaged 6.285s from 0 to 161 km/h.
And it can still mow the lawn.

Remember we featured the Honda Mean Mower V2 in July last year? It now holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest accelerating lawn mower.

To recap, Honda UK and Team Dynamics (Honda British Touring Car outfit with factory support) stuffed a Honda CBR1000RR SP engine into a Honda HF2622 sit-in lawn mower. The stock engine, transmission, clutch and ECU went in wholesale, supported by a custom frame. The SP engine produces 189 hp and 115 Nm of torque, and sent to the four wheels by chain.

In order to compete for the Guinness World Record as a lawn mower, it must first appear like a lawn mower and be able to still cut grass.

The team concentrated on achieving the fastest 0 – 100 mph (161 km/h) time instead of outright top speed. The mower needs to complete two runs in opposite directions within the hour. The times for both runs are recorded and averaged for the final result.

Jessica Hawkins was chosen to drive the machine. She’s one of the stunt drivers in the Fast & Furious movie franchise and also competes in go-kart and single-seater races.

Her first run was fast, but the second run was fiercer – 3.08s to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) and 6.12s to 100 mph (161 km/h) – for an average of 6.285s to 161 km/h and into the record books.

That’s faster than some supercars, and it still does your lawn, by the way.

Mugen Shinden Hachi Sets New Record Faster than Supersports in IOM TT

Michael Rutter set a new record on the Mugen Shinden Hachi on the way to win the TT Zero category at the Isle of Man TT (IOM TT).
The bike recorded speeds faster than those in the Supersport category.
Electric performance bikes have come a long way.

Michael Rutter set a new record on the Mugen Shinden Hachi on the way to win the TT Zero category at the Isle of Man TT (IOM TT). More importantly, however, was that the Mugen Shinden Hachi recorded speeds faster than those in the Supersport category.

Rutter hammered the bike to 176 mph (283.2 km/h) on the Sulby straight. He also completed the 37.73-mile (60.72km) course with an average speed 121.91 mph (196.20 km/h). It was the fastest record in the TT Zero electric motorcycle class.

Rutter’s teammate and multiple IOM TT Senior class winner, John McGuinness came in second on the other Mugen Shinden Hachi. It was his 47^thIOM TT podium.

Ian Lougher completed the podium on the Team Mirai ILR Idaten X RE in a distant three-and-half minutes behind McGuinness.

Mugen’s domination undoubtedly shows how far electric bikes have come (and are still improving). While many riders are still contemplating on the lack of petrol engine exhaust note, charging times and mileage, performance of electric bikes is of no laughing matter.

Another electric performance bike, the Lightning LS-218 has already demonstrated that when it set a new record in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), and a speed record of 218 mph (350.84 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Video: 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 TVC

Bajaj have released the TVC for the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400.
The 373.3cc engine now produces 39.4 hp and 35 Nm of torque.
There are also a host of other upgrades.

Bajaj have released the TVC for the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400.

The highlights of the video include achievements of the Dominar 400, including the Polar Odyssey where three riders rode from the Artic to Antartica. The adventure covered some 51,000 km through 3 continents and took 99 days to complete. Other major adventures were also shown including the Dominar Trans-Siberian Odyssey, Dominar ASEAN Odyssey, and Dominar Austral-Asian.

The 2019 Dominar 400 has been updated further over its predecessor. The main headlamp features split LED banks, the forks are now 43mm diameter upside-down units, and the rear monoshock is softer for more touring comfort.

Its 373.3cc single-cylinder engine is uprated to produce 40 PS (39.4 hp) at 8,650 RPM and 35 Nm of torque at 7,000 RPM. Those figures take the bike into the KTM 390 Duke territory. Spent gases exit through a new exhaust system with dual silencers.

Apart from those features, a slipper is also added for smoother downshifting and corner entries.

On the electronics front, the split-LCD screens are retained, and incorporates mileage and gear position indicator, so forth.

The Auroral Green colour shown in the TVC is new, too.

When will it show up in Malaysia? We will know soon! Also, stay tuned for the next Dominar “Explore the Unexplored” rides in Malaysia.

Damon Motorcycles Takes Aim at Zero Fatalities

Damon Motorcycles seeks to design bikes to assist riders in safety aspects.
A prototype electric bike will be equipped with cameras, radar and sensors.
Riding data is uploaded to the company’s cloud and shared among all Damon riders.

Jay Giraud, co-founder of Canada-based Damon Motorcycles is a long-term rider. As with almost all veteran riders, he has had many close calls.

So, having secured USD 2.5 million in funding, Damon Motorcycles is working to developing an electric motorcycle fitted with cameras, radar and sensors. Damon hopes that the equipment provides the rider with a 360-degree view of his surroundings.

Called the Advanced Warning System for Motorcycles, it tracks direction, velocity and speed of up to 64 objects at a time. The objects include vehicles and other things in the rider’s surroundings. The information is fed to the rider to take pre-emptive measures.

Lights and feedback at the handlebars warn the rider of imminent danger. The company doesn’t stop there. Every bike shares information through the company’s cloud. The system learns from riders on intersections and situations and fed to the entire swarm.

Damon also hopes to install the system on US police motorcycles.

Other motorcycle manufacturers are working on such system. Druid Motorcycles is one, the European branch of Zontes from China. Automotive manufacturers are expected to utilize such cloud and swarm system once 5G networks are up and fully running.

Man Uses Brake Fluid for Toothache, Almost Fatally

A man used brake fluid to alleviate toothache.
It caused swelling, pus build-up and more pain.
In the end, the pus spread to his nervous system and brain.

There are many dos in motorcycling, and just as many do nots. This case, however, went beyond the do nots and straight into the OMG zone. It happened when a man in Kuala Terengganu used brake fluid to cure his toothache.

Before continuing further, we would like to state that the patient approved the original post by a healthcare worker.

It was learned that the patient suffered toothaches for a number of years before it worsened a year ago. He then applied brake fluid to the tooth in hopes of alleviating the pain. It actually subsided during that point in time.

A few weeks later, a molar (large tooth at the back of the mouth) on the upper jaw started hurt. Again, he applied brake fluid to it. Alas it didn’t work this time and his gums started to swell, instead.

However, he visited a physician instead of a dentist. The doctor prescribed painkillers and antibiotics. The antibiotics didn’t work, and he suffered more pain for another four days before visiting a dentist.

According to the post, his head had swollen to the size of two heads by that point. It’s called facial cellulitis. The dentist referred the case to the emergency department at the Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II in Kelantan where he was warded immediately.

The swell grew even bigger by the second day of his stay due to the build-up of pus. The medical decided to extract the tooth and carry out an incision to remove the pus inside his face (thus the large hole). It was described as “too much pus” in the post.

One the next day, they found that the pus had spread to the patient’s nervous system and brain. The case was then referred to the ICU and diagnosed as septic encephalopathy (functions of the brain is affected by toxins in the blood).

They sent him to the operation theatre in another attempt to drain the pus.

Thankfully, his condition improved after a week in ICU and was sent back to the normal ward.

It’s a good lesson that everyone should remember. Brake fluid is caustic enough to remove paint, so one could imagine how it affects living tissue!

Op Selamat 15 Records Another 13 Fatalities Yesterday, Totals 189

Op Selamat 15 recorded another 13 fatalities after a total of 176 on 7^thJune, bringing the new total to an alarming 189, in just 24 hours.
Op Selamat 15 began on 29^thMay and ends on 12^thJune.
A total of 241,144 summonses were issued between 29^thMay to 8^thJune.

Op Selamat 15 recorded another 13 fatalities after a total of 176 on 7^thJune, bringing the new total to an alarming 189, in just 24 hours.

Royal Malaysia Police said that 177 fatal accidents were recorded between May 29 and June 8^th. They resulted in 189 deaths.

The 15^thOp Selamat was launched on May 29 in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive season. The season is when scores of Malaysians return home to celebrate the festivities with their loves ones and travel around to meet other relatives and friends.

Selangor recorded the highest number of fatalities at 33, followed by Johor at 28 and Perak with 18, thus far.

A total of 241,144 summonses were issued during the period through 3,226 traffic operations by the police. Accordingly, the largest number of summonses were issued in Selangor (33,310), Johor (19,278) and Perak (18,072).

Bear (nothing to do with the sun bear) in mind that the number of accidents and fatalities here could be higher as most went by unreported. Also the number of summonses does not include those from JPJ (Road Transport Ministry) operations and from the Automated Awareness System (AWAS) speed cameras.

The operations centres on six major traffic offences. They are driving in the emergency lane, overtaking over double lines, using mobile phone without handsfree while driving, queue-jumping, speeding and running traffic lights.

Op Selamat 15 is set to end on 12^thJune.

To us, the number of accidents and fatalities are beyond alarming. Motorcyclists still constitute the largest number involved. The authorities had better overhaul the entire driver licensing syllabus – NOW!

Anthony West Launches Tirade Against FIM

West rode for Kawasaki in MotoGP, QMMF in Moto2 and was a WorldSSP race winner.

Anthony West launched an expletive-filled tirade against the FIM. He also announced his retirement from motorcycle racing.

He posted in his Facebook page, “***k FIM I’m done with the sport. You’ll never see me on another motorcycle again in my life. You win you FIM dogs. Your (sic) really low s**t people who should have nothing to do with the sport. FIM have pushed me to lose my ride with Kawasaki here in Brazil. FIM have destroyed my life many times and have put me into depression to the point I wish I was dead. I’m done playing there (sic) bulls**t political games. ***k FIM.”

West was a permanent fixture in MotoGP riding in the Kawasaki team, besides being a WorldSSP winner. However, he has been banned for two years after testing positive for stimulants in his urine sample.

It wasn’t the first time he was tested positive with suspected illegal substance. The Australian was tested positive for methylhexaneamine, a substance in nasal decongestant but banned under the FIM Anti-Doping Code. That was when he competed in Moto2 for the QMMF team in Qatar 2012. He denied any wrongdoing but the FIM wasn’t impressed.

Unfortunately, it now appears that West may go down the route taken by fellow-Aussie rider Anthony Gobert.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 to Debut at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC)

A Ducati Streetfighter V4 teaser of its debut at the 2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) has appeared in the Ducati FB page.
The video ends with the messages “The gloves come off at Pikes Peak” and “Stay tuned June 13.”
Carlin Dunne is slated to ride a “Ducati Pikes Peak Prototipo” which heavily implies a Streetfighter V4 prototype.

A Ducati Streetfighter V4 teaser of its debut at the 2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) has appeared in the Ducati FB page. The video showed a few lines of a bike, before flashing to “The gloves come off at Pikes Peak” and instructing us to “Stay tuned June 13.”

Although the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb officially begins from 24^thJune with pre-race activities such as scrutineering, official practice and qualifying, the race proper begins on 30^thJune.

However, there are unsanctioned practices on 8^th, 9^th, 14^th, 15^thand 16^thJune for the competitors. Thus, the unveiling of the Streetfighter V4 happens on the eve of one of those tests.

Interestingly, the Streetfighter V4 isn’t found in the competitors’ listing. Instead, it’s described as “Ducati Pikes Peak Prototipo (prototype),” in the heavyweight category. Carlin Dunne who has won on Ducatis multiple times will ride the bike. Dunne also won last year on a Ducati Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak. However, his final time was 10 seconds off the record set by Chris Fillmore in 2018 on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R.

There exists beyond doubt that Ducati wants to not only retain the PPIHC crown but also set a new record. Indeed, a Streetfighter V4 prototype was spotted testing at a track last week.

The PPIHC is a 156-corner “track” up a hillside. The competitors (including cars, 4X4s, quads) start from sea level and wind their way up to the finish line at 4302.2 metres (14, 115 feet).

Superbikes were allowed a few years before but were subsequently banned due to a number of fatal crashes. “Motorcycles with one-piece, non-clip-on handlebars are allowed,” as the organizers put it.

So, stay tuned, indeed!

Andrea Dovizioso Put in a Strong DTM Debut

Andrea Doviziso put in a fastest lap just 1.2 seconds off the fastest time in Race 1 of his DTM (Duetsche Tourenwagen Masters) debut at the Misano track, Italy.
It was Dovizioso’s one-off appearance in the German touring car championship, riving for the Audi Sport team.
He has a chance to better the result in Race 2 today.

Andrea Dovizioso put in a fastest lap just 1.2 seconds off the fastest time in Race 1 of his DTM (Duetsche Tourenwagen Masters) debut at the Misano track, Italy.

It was Dovizioso’s one-off appearance in the German touring car championship, riving for the Audi Sport team. Ducati logos feature prominently on the car as Audi owns the Ducati brand.

“Desmo” Dovi finished a credible 12^thposition after working up the field from 15^th. It was a commendable drive as he ended the race just one position behind his teammate Pietro Fittipaldi, who is also a Formula 1 test driver.

He has a chance to better the result in Race 2 today. The DTM series is a cut-throat racing series, featuring hard, no quarter given overtakes and ultra-competitive throughout. This is where German manufacturers battle it out for supremacy and bragging rights.

Dovizioso isn’t the first MotoGP rider to try his hands at auto racing. Fellow MotoGP competitors such as Valentino Rossi competes in rally racing annually. Other riders including Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo have also tested for auto racing teams.

The biggest challenge for two-wheel racers making the shift to four-wheels is usually about braking. As cars have four wheels that maintain contact to the tarmac at most times, brakes can be applied later and more aggressively compared to motorcycles. Another benefit of this is that racecars can carry much higher cornering speeds, too. Consequently, full-time riders need to concentrate more on breaking through this barrier.

Ewan McGregor is Moto Guzzi V85TT Ambassador

Superstar Ewan McGregor is the new Moto Guzzi V85TT ambassador.

The V85TT surprised us at how good it was to ride and has plenty of charm. But it wasn’t only us who liked the bike. Sales in Italy, France, Germany and the UK have surpassed expectations. Heck, it even surprised Moto Guzzi and Piaggio brass, so much so that production couldn’t keep up with demand.

Back to the story, Ewan McGregor is made the ambassador because he likes the bike. Product endorsements by celebrities is one thing but McGregor agreed to promote the V85TT on one caveat: That he has to ride the bike and like it first. And he did.

McGregor took part in the bike’s launch in southern Sicily, Italy and rode through all sorts of terrains.

It wasn’t the first instance of the actor’s involvement with Moto Guzzi, however. He had liked the brand for a long time. He stopped by at the manufacturer’s HQ in Madello del Lario at the shores of Lake Como in the middle of his road trip in the “Long Way Down.” He also took part in the 2013 launch of the California 1400 in Australia.

Does this mean McGregor will ride the Moto Guzzi V85TT, while his friend and partner Charlie Boorman will ride the Triumph Tiger 800 XCx/XCa (Boorman is Triumph’s ambassador) in the upcoming sequel to “Long Way Down”?
