Thread: Scorpion EXO-700

I went from the Signet to the EXO-700. The EXO seems to have a little more room in the chinbar than the Signet. Also lighter, better fitting, more comfortable, better ventialtion, etc.
Can't speak for the Quantum, sorry.

Speaking of which, the R2SL event where I got my helmet last year in the silent auction is coming up again next weekend. I could bid on some helmets for you if interested. There isn't a list out of what's available, but last year there were quite a few Scorpion helmets on the tables, and there most likely will be again this year.

It's a bit more comfortable than my last AGV X-Vent. Noise level is down and the ventilation is about the same. I am very happy with it.

I have an EXO 400 Tribal on order for the street, and depending on how it feels, I may get a 700 for the track later this summer. I know it has a plastic shell and all, but it will more than likely be relegated to a backup lid someday soon. I still like my Shoei, and almost feel like I'm cheating on them, but it's just getting out of hand what they charge for one. I am also looking at a KBC TK9. Any KBC owners out there care to chime in?

Sportbiketrackgear has a sale on the now I believe for $139

What is the 'average' running price for the EXO-700's? Does scorpion make a flip face model

I am really happy with the 700. i found it fit better on my noggin than any other helmet. I would like less fricken vent things to open and close. The 400 is supposed to be the same shape, but fits me poorly. It's my backup or chic lid so no matter.

Don't get the mirror face shields they are crap and flake easlily. the dark smoke is great.

Mirror is ALWAYS a bad idea as it masks the sunlight interference that creates the rainbow effect of oil on asphalt. For the track, I would definitely stay away from any mirrored shield (I wouldn't use one on the street either).

I will have to investigate the pump, last time I tried that it was in overpriced bball sneakers that I wore for skateboarding.

I'm done with the potent bikes for awhile so this would be for use on my KLR. Is it still a decent quiet (read- cheap) helmet or are we comparing this to full-airflow RX7RR4's at 140mph for quietness

Just my choices now are dirty helmets, a way too old Arai RX7, or my new Shoei 600$ thing I can't remember the model # of. So I'm thinking for commuting on the KLR this year I should get something newer but 200$ is about where I'm comfy with. And I've heard alot about this damn lid

p.s. Don't tell me to go to advrider again, I'm there...and find I lean more towards the sportbike style helmets as my preference of fit and function

You should be able to find them sub-$200.

Yes they do. $139 for Geronimo, $149 for Fury, Shipped!

I will have one on the way soon!

Damn thats a silly deal...hmm...

Out of every helmet I have owned the Scorpion EXO700 has been the best purchase yet.

What if I have a square head? I'm thinking I might just stick with the 9-can cooler...

The EXO is definetely in the loop for consideration

At the motorcycle show when CBRVFR bought his, the rep kept going on about them buying data for so many hundreds of North American heads and designing around that.

Just ordered one today. I'm hoping it's quieter than my Shoie. Maybe a little lighter too?

Depends on which SHOEI.. it's a tiny bit heavier than my X-11, but that's the lightest helmet I've ever had. Venting is similar, I wear earplugs so I can't evaluate the noise level. Basically, if you want a cooler helmet, it's going to be louder than one without that level of airflow. Most of these top helmets are designed in a windtunnel, so they are quieter and more stable at high speeds than they used to be.

It's a good value, for sure. Make sure it fits well. The size may not correspond with the SHOEI you're wearing.

Good points-thanks!

Also note that while a few grams heavier than current top of the line Shoei and Arai offerings, it's definitely a few ounces lighter than my 2003 X-Vent (which was the lightest helmet on the market at the time). Tempest Fugit . . .

Well, I just picked up my EXO 400 Tribal in red today. Since it's replacing a very old Norick X-9, it's slightly lighter and much more comfortable. But to compare it to a helmet that is 9 years old is kind of unfair. I'm sure had I gone with the 700 it would be slightly lighter going from plastic to FG, but I was interested in guinea pigging more of the structural functions of the lid, and saved about $50 in the process. Plus, I like the Tribal design the best. How can you argue with picking up a new lid and extra faceshield for less than $165 out the door?

OK, one buyer beware on this: there is no face shield included at the advertised price. With a shield the Geronimo totals at about 175.00.
Still a good deal, I think, but kind of misleading, IMO.
