Dana_leigh Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi, just seen thisdoes anyone have or looked at a Scorpion Exo Helmet?They have an inflation system inside which allows you to inflate the sides by your cheeks so the lid fits really well. I have a problem getting lids to fit as I actually have no cheekbones, so as you can imagine lids dont snuggle up so close. I am planning to go and try one soon (currently in bed with flu!!) but just wondered what anyone elses thoughts might be as they are quite expensive for a brand I've heard little about beings a newbie.http://www.thunderchild.co.uk/thunderchild/index.htmlhttp://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/Clot ... elmet.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Interesting video. Never heard of them but it does look very innovative. I'll certainly be trying a few on when it's helmet buying time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 They came out earlier this year.Seem a bit gimmicky tbh.If the bladder that you inflate leaks then the helmet would be rendered useless.I imagine they would be quite heavy tooYou may be better off trying other brands with different size cheek pads in (Arai, Shoei) at main dealers to get the correct fit.

fullscreenaging Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Spoke to a guy who works in our local bike shop on Sunday about these. He's thinking of stocking these, but not sure if the gimmick is enough for peeps to but them. They are knocking on the door of £300 for a designed one and tbh, the designs aren't all that. I think untill they can get some rep colours or better designs sorted then peeps will still opt for the Shoei lids or even an Arai Chaser. I know I would.
