Scorpion Helmets?

[hurstshifter]

I saw a few people wearing these this past weekend. Seemed that they have pretty cool designs and the flip down sunvisor on the EXO's are really cool. But, are these quality helmets?? Anyone own one or know people who have worn them?

I had an EXO-700 and loved it. Comfortable, fit me well, not too heavy, and the wind noise was fairly low. Also, their anti-fog shields actually DO NOT FOG, which is a big plus.

I am a dealer for them. If you come to Motorcycle night to night come over and see me and you can look at mine.

I race them, its all I use. I think they're fantastic, Black Squirrel whacked his noggin with them a couple times and is as normal as he was before the incidents. That said, I use the EX-700s, I think the EX-1000s with the sun visor and stuff are a bit heavy and bulky.

I should be there. My current HJC is in need of a major upgrade.

I have the EXO1000. It is a bit heavy but its one hell of a baller ass helmet. Best comparision: its like an old reebok on your head, but not as stinky.

agreed entirely. I smacked my head pretty good with mine and I'm fine...

I have an EXO-400, best helmet you can get for the money.

I had the EXO-400. fit great and never fogged. I crashed with it on last Oct. and it did the job and saved my face. It was time for a new helmet. Now I have an AGV. Nice helmet but fogs a lil when cold and took forever to break-in.

[R-S-V]

had an EXO-700, its a great helmet, as always try it and if it fits you well go for it.

I've got an EXO-700. I can only really compare it to the economy-priced Icon I had previously, but it beats that hands-down across the board--better fit and finish, removable/washable liner, better visor (both less fogging and better optics looking through it--it looks "clearer" and cleans easier), and feels a bit lighter. Discontinued styles tend to get pretty affordable, too at http://sportbiketrackgear.com, amongst others (I think New Enough and Motorcycle Superstore both have discontinued version in stock now, too).

Well I've got the EXO-700 series / Crackhead. I love it. Its very light weight compared to others and offers great features and benefits.

Their EXO-1000 series is really cool with the built in pump to make it even more snug, and the flip down shades, but it was a whole nlot more that I just didn't need.

Yea thats the x-act one I am thinking of buying now. I had my accident last year, I didn't hit my head very hard at all, but I know everyone says I should buy a new helmet anyways.

What are other peoples thoughts?

[e moneybags]

I had done a bit of interweb researching and ended up getting a EXO 700 the other day, and while I have yet to wear it riding it does a great job of protecting my dome when sitting on the couch.

Actually I did wear it when I test drove a bike the other day for like 5 min. Was great.

[Nix]

I'm going to check them out for the next lid for sure - good helmets and positive comments from everyone I've met that owned one.

Get a new helmet.

[apollomx681]

i just highsided with one and my head feels great!

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I have had about 4 Helmet Destroying crashes on the track over the past 3 years of racing Wearing the EXO-700 and I am still able to speak and do math and never rung my bell.

They are real good helmets

[wheelburns]

i had one 2 years ago before buying my shoei and my only complaint was the way the visor was held on always felt cheap like it was going to break.

[P_easy]

I literally just came home from the local cyclegear, and after running through all the choices they had there, I went with the Exo700 as my first helmet (in white). It fit me like a glove, seemed not too heavy, and the liner seemed well made. The main reason I got it is because Doc recommended getting a weave helmet instead of a polycarbonate one, and the exo700 is a fiberglass/kevlar weave for just $200!

I started out with a 700. Its a good helmet for the money. I didn't like the shield mechanism that much and it fits a more round head. I had trouble with booming but again that was a fit issue. Stuff is cheap for them and you get good features. I have a Suomy Spec 1R extreme now that fits much better and I like more overall but $200 compared to $650 is a big difference.

[FZR]

i've got a 400 and it's perfect, but they seem to fit a little small. that's my only complaint otherwise it's quiet and doesn't fog on me one bit

[duganc1717]

I also have the 400, I like my old Quantum E alot more. But if you throw $$$$$$$ (I paid less than a $100) into the comparsion it's a very good value.

I'm still not a fan of the shield mechanism.
