Is there any news on this yet?
Lids direct got my replacement Evo one from Shark and have used it for 2 weeks and all seems good, no scratches on the Pinlock at all.I have no idea if any changes have been made by Shark, just happy the helmet works perfectly and no issues.Love the design and really happy all has ended well

Any progress here ? I was also about to buy one until I seen this, any upgrades issued yet.?
Mine has been spot on once upgraded to later version
Ok, thanks. Is it just the visor combination that has been upgraded or has the shell also changed?

Noticed the vertical scratches on the pinlock after around 1200 miles...not happy. Fine scratches but scratched none the less and only after a short time, all on the right side and just out of line of vision thankfully, the contact point being the rubber rain seal !
I need to use the helmet meantime and I haven't contacted the supplier but I will just to see what they suggest, there's a 5 year guarantee so what the hell.
Only other problem being that I need to remove a little bit of hard foam to fit my own intercom ( can't pay £450 for 2 Shark units! ) so that might cause a guarantee problem
Otherwise a comfortable lid, doesn't leak, great ventilation and it's great to have the open face option...shame about the scratching.
Sounds you have an old stock version as that is what they did, mine was swapped by Motolegends for a newer one and now no issues with scratches
They assured me that this was the latest upgraded version but obviously not...I'll drop them an email.

I was trying on the Evo One the other day and I really wanted to like as it ticked all the boxes on my list of essentials for a helmet. BUT, the flip front was all but impossible to move from its "up" position back into place. The shop assistant (in Raceleathers) assured me it was a) Newness and would loosen up and b) a technique I would get used to. I tried another on in J&S and it was the same but this one was right bastard to latch shut when I did get it to move. The only way it would catch was after a hefty slam that had the helmet all out of place on my head. I cant see closing it being a one handed operation once on the move.
Interested in others' experiences from real use though as it could be a great helmet.
Got it back from Motolegends within the week, they said that the visor mechanism was adjusted to allow more clearance and they also fitted a new pinlock..the pinlock didn't fit very well unfortunately ! Someone had just stuck it on without looking and there was a 5mm high bulge which was rubbing against the helmet when it was opened.
I tried a few combinations but it seems that the supplied Pinlocks are too long even when the pins are at their most loose position, I heated a small screwdriver ( same diameter as the pins and slowly increased the size of the cut out until the pinlock sort of fitted, this would have been ok if it hadn't originally been forced on resulting in a permanent buckle
Contacted Motolegends again to explain and they immediately sent out a replacement Pinlock...same again though, the pinlock 70 is made too long to fit the Evo One visor so I removed some material from each side using a hot screwdriver again and now it fits perfectly with the pins set loose .
I've taken pics with the intention of sending them to the Pinlock makers but just haven't got round to it yet but I will.
Heading off on a 4.5k mile trip to Greece and Albania next weekend so this will be a good test for it
Overall I really like the helmet but it's a bit much to have to modify the Pinlock to fit on something costing £350, anyone else had the same problem ?
It's quite a snug fit, a little smaller than my Caberg Tourmax in the same size but it's a very comfortable snug fit and you can remove some foam from the cheekpads if needed. The recess for intercom speakers is tiny and designed for the Shark systems so I have had to modify mine to allow my cheapo speakers to fit, I had to cut a little bit of the closed cell foam out but have done it in such a way that it looks like it came from the factory like that
They have a 5 year warranty so worth a try ?
Also have to say that Motolegends have been extremely helpful
