Scorpion makes two genuinely clever modulars, and riders cross-shop them constantly. The EXO-AT960 is the adventure-capable one — a peak, three configurations, and genuine ECE 22.06. The EXO-GT930 Transformer is the street one that converts into a true open-face, at ECE 22.05. Same brand, similar value pricing, different missions.
Certification: the AT960 carries current 22.06
The AT960 holds genuine DOT + ECE 22.06 — the current rotational-test standard. The GT930 is DOT + ECE 22.05 P/J, the older standard without the rotational test (a few listings claim 22.06 for it — treat that as unverified). Both are P/J-approved to ride open, but on the impact standard the AT960 is a step ahead. If the current 22.06 matters to you, that alone may decide it.
Format: adventure vs convert-to-open-face
This is the real divider. The AT960 is an adventure modular — it takes a peak and goggles and runs three configurations, aimed at a rider who explores as well as commutes. The GT930 is a street convertible— its chin bar removes to make a genuine open-face, aimed at a rider who wants a full-face for cold mornings and an open helmet for hot afternoons. Neither does the other's trick: the AT960 doesn't become an open-face, and the GT930 has no adventure peak.
Shared strengths
Both are modulars with a flip-up chin bar, both have a drop-down sun visor, both take comms, and both are polycarbonate value helmets — heavier and louder than premium lids, but honest about it. So the feature baseline is similar; the peak-vs-open-face conversion and the certification are where they part ways.
Weight
Both are heavy for their class — the AT960 around 1,860 g, the GT930 around 1,890 g— because polycarbonate plus modular hardware adds mass. Neither is a lightweight, and earplugs are sensible in either at highway speed. Weight won't decide this one; format and certification will.
Value and everyday use
Both sit at the value end of the modular market and share the practical basics — a flip-up chin bar, a drop-down sun visor, comms readiness and a removable liner — so day to day they feel more alike than their different missions suggest. The AT960 leans toward the rider who wants one helmet for commuting, touring and the occasional trail, and its three configurations back that up; the GT930 leans toward the urban rider who values the open-face conversion for hot weather. Neither is plush or light, but both are honest about what they are, and both punch above their price on features.
On value, they're close enough that the decision really comes down to which trick you'll use — the peak-and-goggles adventure capability, or the convert-to-open-face street versatility — and to the certification. If you genuinely want current ECE 22.06, that alone pushes you to the AT960; if the open-face conversion is the feature you came for and 22.05 doesn't bother you, the GT930 delivers something the AT960 can't. Run earplugs on either at highway speed, and get the fit right first with our sizing guide.
The verdict
Want genuine ECE 22.06 and real adventure capability — peak, goggles, three configurations? The Scorpion EXO-AT960. Want the convert-to-open-face trick for hot-weather street riding, and the older 22.05 certification doesn't bother you? The Scorpion EXO-GT930. See the AT960 review and GT930 review for the detail.
