Thanks. I checked with cyclegear and they do not carry Bell Helmets but I could try on an EXO 700 there. TheHelmetCenter is near me and they have a Bell Star Snell M2010 which I assume is the 2010 version. Outside of sizing, as you stated the 09 version runs big, the 2010's shell dimensions should be the same as the 2009's correct? If the 09's do run big then I may need an extra small rather than small! I will call them tomorrow morning and see if they have a Small and extra small in stock for me to try on. That way I will know which size to order from cyclecloseouts

actually no. 2009 models run larger and you should go a size down. 2010 models run true to size.
not a lot of retailers carry bell which is why i suggested the scorpion.
if you're a small in the 2010 bell and exo700, then you'd be a extra small in the 2009 model. bell changed their manufacturing and shell sizes before the release of the 2010 models.

Ive decided on the Scorpion EXO 700 and my size is an XS! (Tried on at thehelmetcenter) I REALLY liked this helmet when I was there. I know its feminine but I just really like it. What do you guise think? Don't worry you wont offend me I want brutal honesty They have it in pink too. YAY. just kidding

Edit: Oh wait theres a skull in there...totally evens it out ; )

every one and their mother has an exo700.

how much did you end up paying?
good deals on them at stg, but nothing in that design. it's...subtle. and unique.

i would've personally gone with the pink tho

Lam..I havent purchased yet. I tried it on at helmetcenter and I was an XS. I actually thought about the pink as well as my bike is red. Really, I think this fiore, which IS a feminine helmet, is pretty awesome in gold and pink for a guy. Its like guys that wear pink shirts..I think it shows confidence and women love that chit! To be honest I like the pink as well. Anyone's thoughts?

Ah..the black dahlia on the first page? Ya I think i changed my mind on that one

I like both the gold and the pink in the Fiore posted above..Im leaning towards the gold as the pink really does scream feminine...but the gold really dosent seem feminine to me?
