Scorpion helmets
« on: April 12, 2014, 20:38:03 »
I am one of many that were looking for the right helmet @ the right price that would fit perfectly.

After trying several different brands I thought that Shoei is the helmet that fits me best. But I could not justify the big spend. And then I visited Smart Riders http://smartriders.co.uk/in Christchurch (Dorset). They are specialist in the expensive motorbike gear. They stock several different brands and one of them is Scorpion. It’s an American company that has their helmets made in Korea.

2 years ago I bought the EXO 500 Air. It is full face helmet with MaxVision PinLock, built in sun visor and their special AIRFIT CONCEPT: Airfit™ permits a rider to personalize helmet fit through air adjustable cheek pads with additional noise reduction.  
Helmet has been great since day one and it still fits me perfectly.

Recently I was looking around for flip up helmet and Scorpion has released their latest model of EXO 910air. I went to Smart Riders once more and they have just got them in stock. The delivery man dropped off the load of lids 5 minutes before I arrived!!
I picked size M as it's the size of my EXO 500 and it fitted me like no other helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the UK there will be only solid colours available but you can call it lucky again, when I was trying the lid the main representative from Scorpion for Europe was in the shop and the blokes asked him if it would be possible to order the Matt black GT for me and he said yes!!! I also ordered the mirror visor - just like the one on the picture.

It will take up to 10 days for it to arrive. I can't wait!

All in with the mirror visor and some discounts I got the lot for £250
