Scorpion EXO700 comparo

Got a new helmet in today from Sportbike Track Gear, the Scorpion EX 700 in size MED.
Price was- $85.95
It weighs 3lbs 9.8oz.
It came with a nice helmet bag. I also bought a dark smoked shield and chin skirt.

My Shoei RF100 weighs 3lbs 5.4 oz.


My old custom painted Arai RX7RR weighs 3 lbs. 8.6 oz.
So the Scorpion is the heaviest of the three, but not by much.
Here's the specs:
1. Shoei RF1000 Date of Man-01/06 Weight- 3lb. 5.4 oz.
2. Arai RX7RR Date of Man- 05/04 Weight- 3lb. 8.6 oz.
3. Scorpion EXO700 DOM------06/06 Weight-3lb. 9.8 oz.
I don't think I'll feel the weight while using it for track use and it feels comfortable on my head. Fits snugger than the RF1000 that was getting loose.
I like the graphics too.
So, overall, I'm happy--for the $86 price tag.
I'll report the "real world" results when I get a chance to use it.




Front view. Understated graphics with a matte finish. Should go nicely with my track leathers or street bike.
Rear view.

Snell 2005.


The liner has a checkered flag print and they sell other designs. The liner is completely removable and wash safe. It fits well, same as the other helmets, in a size Med. I can also easily fit my glasses!



Just as a comparison of the weight. This small bottle of adhesive weighs 1.2oz.
