Scorpion Helmets

I read a post in the helmet section about a new helmet supplier called Scorpion.

I did a bit of digging and they are almost too good to be true. All the features of a top end helmet at a sensible price.

Has anyone got any experience of them?

[davepreston]

sensible? there the same price as a shoei or arai if you dont buy from a shop (sorry amanda) but from evilbay

id be intrested on what someone thought of them, but tbh im sticking with my many crash proven shoei's, if it aint bust dont fix it

My Stepmum has one and she cant fault it at all. She rides pillion with me old man but when we were looking around at the shows for a lid for her, Scorpion ticked all the right boxes.
Good sizing, nice colour selection, good visor change system, glasses fit well underneath and the air pump thing works well and is brilliant for making it fit perfectly and cutting out a bit more noise apparantly. And of course can be easy on the wallet compared to some brands.
Ive heard good reviews from other people about them too.
I may well consider one when i next get a new lid. Or ill stick with Shark.

i'll ask peterco how he is getting on with his for you and post the results. pete has a lot of lids (kinda fetish lol) and his main one is a Arai chaser (i think) so it will be a good comparison to that.

i have had a good look at it and its rather nice with a lot of interesting features. sizes are on the smaller side BTW as i normaly take a S-XS but his is a medium and just about fitted (would ride with it when the bladder bags were pumped up) where other lids dont fit at the same size.

my AGV gp tech was less than that by £50 and mines a £450 helmet ...

i have seen a scorp in the flesh and it looks ok but not as top notch as arai,sumoy,AGV could be worth a try though
