FAQs
Is the MaxVision® face shield included as standard?
The MaxVision® face shield is listed as optional. Please check the product listing for what is included in the package.
How do I clean the Kwikwick® C liner?
The Kwikwick® C liner is removable and can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. It should be air-dried completely before reinserting.
Can I install a Pinlock anti-fog insert?
Yes, the helmet is Pinlock MaxVision™ ready. You will need to purchase a Pinlock MaxVision™ insert separately and install it according to its instructions.
Is this helmet suitable for motorcycle racing?
The EXO-491 Kripta is homologated to ECE 22.06 standards, suitable for road use. Specific racing organizations may have different helmet requirements.
How do I change the face shield?

What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product or on the Scorpion website for details on the warranty period.
Does the helmet come with a chin curtain?
Product specifications may vary. Check the product details or included accessories list to confirm if a chin curtain is provided.
Troubleshooting
Visor is difficult to change
Ensure the locking mechanism on the Ellip-Tec™ system is fully disengaged before attempting removal. Refer to the manual for specific lever actions.
Sun visor does not deploy smoothly
Check for any obstructions around the sun visor mechanism. Ensure the helmet interior is clean and free of debris that could impede movement.
Liner feels uncomfortable or loose
Verify that all snaps and attachment points for the Kwikwick® C liner are correctly secured. Ensure the correct helmet size has been selected.
Airflow seems reduced
Inspect all ventilation ports (forehead, chin, rear exhaust) for blockages such as dirt or debris. Clean them gently with a soft brush or cloth.
