Full details
The Scorpion ADF-9000 Feat Adventure Helmet is designed for adult, unisex riders seeking a versatile, high-performance helmet for both on- and off-road touring. Its key benefit is the adaptive design, featuring TCT-Ultra construction for strength and lightness, an interchangeable Exolon® shield system, and the custom-fit Airfit® system. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of adventure helmets, which may be more involved than standard street helmets.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is TCT-Ultra technology?
TCT-Ultra (Thermodynamical Composite Technology) is Scorpion's proprietary composite material construction, known for its exceptional strength, light weight, and ability to absorb more impact energy.
How do I remove the Exolon® shield by hand?
The Exolon® shield features a tool-free system. Typically, there are release tabs on the sides of the shield mechanism that you press or lift to detach the shield without tools.
Can I use this helmet for track days?
While designed for adventure and street use, the ADF-9000 meets safety standards. However, for dedicated track use, specialized track helmets with different features and certifications may be more appropriate.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Helmets should typically be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact, even if no damage is visible, due to potential internal structural compromise.
What is the benefit of the Airfit® system?
The Airfit® system allows you to inflate and deflate the cheek pads, providing a personalized, secure fit that adapts to your facial contours and compensates for liner break-in over time.
Is the SpeedView™ sun visor polarized?
The SpeedView™ sun visor features an anti-fog coating but is not typically described as polarized. Its primary function is to provide convenience in varying light conditions.
Can I mount a communication system on this helmet?
Yes, the helmet's interior is designed to accommodate speakers from most communication systems. You may need to gently press out designated areas in the liner for optimal fit.
Troubleshooting
Airfit® system not inflating or deflating properly.
Ensure the inflation button is functioning correctly. Check for any visible obstructions around the pump mechanism. If persistent, contact customer support.
Difficulty removing or reattaching the Exolon® shield.
Review the tool-free release mechanism instructions. Ensure all locking tabs are fully disengaged before attempting removal and properly aligned for reattachment.
Sun visor is fogging up.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the visor gently with a soft cloth and consider using a separate anti-fog spray if the coating is diminished.
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the Airfit® system by inflating or deflating the cheek pads to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the helmet is the correct size for your head circumference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Fit Adjustment: Before first use, inflate the Airfit® system by pressing the button on the side until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. The system allows for micro-adjustments.
- Shield/Visor Configuration: For road use, ensure the Exolon® shield is securely attached. For off-road use with goggles, remove the shield by following the tool-free release mechanism and fit your preferred goggles.
Compatibility:
- Goggles: The wide eye-opening is designed to accommodate most standard off-road goggle sizes and brands.
- Communication Systems: The helmet interior is generally designed to accommodate most aftermarket communication system speakers, though some minor adjustments might be needed.
Care and Maintenance:
- Shell Cleaning: Wipe the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Interior Cleaning: The cheek pads are removable (see emergency removal feature). They can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried completely before reinstallation.
- Shield/Visor Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a mild, approved visor cleaner or a damp cloth. Avoid paper towels, which can scratch.
- Anti-Fog: The SpeedView™ sun visor has an anti-fog coating. Avoid using harsh chemicals on it. Reapplication of anti-fog treatments may be necessary over time.
