What Scorpion Sports Europe does

Scorpion Sports Europe is the European regional entity operating the ScorpionEXO motorcycle helmet and apparel brand, wholly owned by South Korean parent company KIDO SPORTS. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hoerdt, France, the company coordinates brand presence, distribution, and regulatory compliance for European markets including the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Portugal. The broader ScorpionEXO brand operates across at least 13 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania/ANZ, with region-specific websites and localized language support.

The company manufactures and distributes motorcycle helmets across four primary categories (Full-Face, Modular, Open-Face, Off-Road) organized into six lifestyle segments (Race, Sport, Tour, Cruiser, Adventure, Snow) and branded collections (Apex Series as the premium flagship, Covert Series, Concrete Cowboys, The Litas). Key product lines include the EXO-WARP Full-Face, EXO-AT960 Modular, COVERT-X Open-Face, and XT9000-CARBON Off-Road models, with carbon fiber variants in active rollout. The company also offers a complementary apparel line including jackets, gloves, pants, and body armor. Products are DOT FMVSS No. 218 certified for the US market, with region-specific certification and warranty policies governing other markets.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales via two primary channels: an authorized dealer network of physical retail locations and direct-to-consumer e-commerce through regional brand websites. The ScorpionEXO brand also maintains regional websites for Canada, the United States, Mexico, Colombia, South America, Asia, and ANZ markets. The European entity operates with approximately 11 directly employed staff, functioning as a lean regional coordination layer within the broader KIDO SPORTS group. The brand positions itself as a lifestyle brand targeting distinct rider personas, with no disclosed external investment, venture capital backing, or public listing.
