Scorpion EXO-1000 on Sale

[Ruggybuggy]

If your in the market for a new lid check out this deal. A $350 helmet for $125 bucks. I jumped on this. I already have a EXO-700 and decided to upgrade. I always like the Scorpion helmets, I've had three of them, to me they fit like a Shoei.

I have this helmet in matte black, fantastic fit, the drop down visor is sweet too.

I'm not a fan of the ventilation, it's not terrible, but it's not great. When it gets hot & humid, I usually ride with shades, and keep the shield up until about 70+ anyway.

I really liked the idea of the flipdown shade, but in practice, it doesn't do much for me. It doesn't get close enough to my nose, and I find even the dark smoke shade i put in isn't very dark. So I still wear my sunglasses, and I typically only use the flipdown if I'm riding into the sun in the morning or evening. It also gets a ton of dust on it if you don't use it much.

Still hard to beat for the price, I paid $160 a year ago. $125 is good, but not much of a closeout on a slow-moving helmet, IMO.

I just picked this helmet up about a month ago and kind of feel the same as the post abouve when it comes to the sunshield, everything else....I love the fit and don't have any expirience with it in temp about 70 degrees

Just bought this helmet last week for 159.00, but it was free shipping don't know about this site. The helmet got a lousy review from webmotorcycle, but the helmet is definitely high quality compared to others I checked out at the price. It flows no air even with all the vents opened up, but you can open and lock the shield a quarter inch and flow air that way. The helmet is heavy but tolerable with the type of seating position the FZ6.

Yup, great deal, just ordered one myself. $125 for a snell helmet, can't beat it. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm coming up on my third riding season with the helmet and there's a couple of point I'd like to make.

I agree with the comments about the inner shield not being dark enough. I replaced it with the dark smoke and while it helped, it still wasn't dark enough. I switched to a mirrored and tinted front and that did the trick for me.

The airflow is not the best, but as mikexup pointed out, you can vent the front shield about 1/4 inch. That helps a great deal. Make sure all your other vents are open.

And if the airflow still is not very good, maybe you're not going fast enough! :BLAA:

Okay, just kidding, make sure you ride safe!

Crap.
I've been using this lid since '08, and wanted to jump on this deal.
But, in the colors I'd want, no "XXXL".


No comments from the peanut gallery, mm'kay? :Flip:

Funny everyone says it doesn't vent well. My EXO-700 vents pretty good. Hopefully I find the 1000 as good.
