scorpion helmets

Anyone had any experience w/ these, read that it was Rider magazine's choice for best helmet $150-$250. I tried one on and it felt real comfortable. It was the v 800 model.

I don't know of the v 800 model but my EXO700 ROCKS! I would go so far as to say the only helmet possibly better is a Shoei RF1000. Well its not the only one that is better but i was thinking price point. AGV Titech is supposed to be a good helmet. For the price you just can't beat Scorpion. I won't even pick up another KBC... i have read numerous complaints about the KBC line of helmets(full face).

Don't buy any helmet online, unless you have tried it on personally. Too many factors when buying a new helmet that could lead to you being very unhappy... try one on first.

ya exo 700 thats the ticket! thanx for the feed back. I was pretty impressed w/ the liner and all looking forward to getting the white scorpion design w/ ever clear mirrored sheild.

In September I plan on buying a new EXO 700. Mine is will be two years old then and dropped it a few times by mistake.

I have an exo-700 best helmet I've owned, replaced my arai signet. Wouldn't change back even if both were the same price.

Every head is different. If it fits your head comfortably then it is good. As long as it has a snell or DOT sticker then it meets the rule for the road.

thats the one! Tried on an arai quantum 2 and this one and they felt pretty comparable.

I like the new EXO1000 helmets with the built-in shades.

How does the sizing run on the Scorpion helmets? (Is it similar to HJC/Shoei)

I believe Scorpion Exo helmet sizes run small compared to HJC. KBC runs small too i think.

About the EXO-1000 try them on before you buy.. i hear the liner pump doesn't really help.. just squeezes your head and makes it feel like it's gonna pop lol. But try one on and see what you think. I like the colors for the EXO1000 line.

I have the EXO 700 and love it. I can also get a photochromatic lens, in the mail, so I am legal night and day without changing lenses. I live in a very humid place and have never had it fog either.

Whats wrong with KBC??

I cant say more about the EXO 700, great helmet and I'm not planning on buying anything else. GO GET IT!!

I've got a Shoei X-11 Norick and an EXO400 and love them both. For the money, you CANNOT beat Scorpion. Fit and finish rock for a $150 lid. The Shoei has more features and is quieter, but the price difference (~$500) is deal-killer. Only reason I bought the X-11 is I stole it for $275 brand new from a guy who never got a chance to use. I would buy the EXO 400 again for a track cover or street.

Nick, buy a Scorpion helmet and you will notice the difference in quality and air flow. The Scorpion is probably more quiet also. The EXO400 is an awesome deal at $150.

I have had several helmets, HJC, KBC, Scorpion, and Arai. I do like the Arai the best out of all of them but at $500 it is a little pricey. The HJC became a passenger helmet really quickly (less than 1000 miles). I got a scorpion and rode about 8 or 9000 miles in it and bought a KBC VR2 in the mean time that I rode about 6 or 7000 miles in. The Scorpion and KBC's were both good helmets. The KBC was the best looking but the wind noise and the fog accumulating on the shield were a huge pain. The Scorpion never once fogged on me and was great for muffling out the sound of the 4 to 1 Akro can I had on the Busa I was riding. Scorpion is an excellent helmet, and not just for the price. The only thing I found better in my Arai was the air flow and the fact that I could go faster due to my wallet having less money in it. Sadly, the Scorpion was dropped one night and made a sound like a cracked broom handle. It was laid to rest in a dumpster a few moments later. Sleep well dear friend.

exo 700 and love it buy one NOW!

Bought a KBC VR2. No complaints yet. Kinda nice, Now I put the Arai as a passenger helmet due to the ugly yellow color.

My first helmet was a Scorpion 400. My second (current) helmet is an AGV Stealth. My next helmet will be a Scorpion.

I paid less than $150 for the Scorpion 400 and more than twice that for the AGV. IMO, the Scorpion brand is just as good as (if not equal to) a pricer helmet.

I've got an exo1000 on order. I should get it Wednesday or Thursday. I'll let you all know what I think.
