Scorpion helmets


Wondering is anyone has experience / feedback as far as owning a street Scorpion either series 700 or 1000 helmet? I'm looking for another helmet (primary helmet now is an RF1000) this summer and these seems to fit me pretty well. I'm just wondering what the pros & cons are.

Thanks

Re: Scorpion helmets


I have had nothing but arais for the past couple years, I got a EX700 Scorpion for the track last Year And I cant say enough good things about these helmets. The antifog Visor really Works I have used it in some cold wet Races. Its a tiny bit heaverier then arai. I did about 15 Races in it and a Coulple thousand street miles With no complaints, I looked at the EX1000 Tried it on It has a lot of features but it Felt like a Brick on my head far to heavy, and the 400 's are plastic so i would stay away from those as well

My $0.02

Re: Scorpion helmets


just got a EX700 as a second helmet for the girl. it fits me too and my main helmet is an arai profile. The scorpion is great- i didn't really feel a weight difference but i haven't ridden with it, just tried it on. the 1000 is excessive, it has the inflatable cheek pads and the built in sun visor/glasses under the visor- i just think it's too much. The 500 is heavier and I noticed the weight so we got a plain 700 and I think it's the best helmet for the price (more than half the cost of the Arai and feels great). Shark helmets don't fit me and they're not Snell approved- tho apparently the ECE (european) is stricter than snell. Either way I think they're ugly and they don't fit. HJCs fit tighter and I liked the Scorpion more in terms of quality and fit and finish- especially when combined with the price.

Re: Scorpion helmets


i just picked up the 1000 today. its reallllll nice, light, but it doesnt have the visability my shitty old vega does. the inflateable stuff is pretty cool, but i havent gotten used to deflating it when im trying to take it off and it always catches me in the nose. real nice helmet though, i used the sun shield visor thing today too, pretty fuckin cool.

Re: Scorpion helmets


I haven't ever owned one, but the exo 1000 is on my list of potential next helmets.
