when you say cheap, are you referring to the price?

i'm looking to get a scorpion this winter and if you have any experience with it please chime in.

i've heard nothing but good things about scorpion helmets, and they're half the price of shoei, arai, soumy, and agv.

 

I have a Scorpion 400 (I dont wear anymore trying to sell it), 2 KBC, and a Shoei. In all honestly, my KBC VR-2 is the most comfortable and does the best for me. It doesnt fog up, no much sound and air flow if pretty good. Thats just my opinion though.

 

yes as the price
it was my first helmet and it does everything good.

They are slowly getting to be known. I see many magazine covers with riders wearing them.

 

i crashed with an HJC, couldnt see for 15 minutes...now im getting an RF1000, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

 

My first helmet was an HJC SyMax that was super comfy but the flip up made it heavy. I ride with a KBC Force-S now and while it's a little loud, the venting on it is crazy which helps in AZ and it's light and comfy.

+1 to trying it on first though, get what fits.

 

I have a HJC & like it. I tried on the Arai & didn't feel good on my head. All helmets that pass the DOT & SNELL criteria are good... So I'd say try them all on & see what fit you as a individual. More $$$ doesn't make it a btter helmet.

 

I've got a Scorpion EXO-700. It's a great helmet. I tried on alot of different helmets before I bought one and I liked this one the best, regardless of price. I wasn't shopping for the cheapest one either. For the money, I don't think you can find a better deal.

 

Me too. I tried them all....I bought the exo-700. take a look at the JD Power Award for 2006.. Aria won, but exo-700 was rated the same and you save about $400!
