Does anyone know a good website to purchase a new helmet from at cheap prices? I'm looking preferably for one that is name brand. Thanks to all in advance.

I am not sure about websites, but I would definately check out the Scorpion helmets. You will not find a better value for your dollar. The EXO-400 is nice and it is very affordable. THe EXO-700 is a little lighter, but you will pay about $40 more.

I own both and I always reccomend them to my friends.

Cool man thx. I actually just checked out their site and made my mind up on the Rivet. I'll get the yellow and black to match the f4i. Thanks!

coreodog -> RE: Helmet (5/21/2008 7:24:38 PM)

www.newenough.com they have a bunch of stuff for good prices. Anything from apparel to gear.

You really should look at SHOEI and ARAI's. Very good helmets. Worth the extra cash.

These are definately the best two names out there, but have you ever personally worn a Scorpion Helmet? I have worn a Shoei, and they are great, but I am just as happy with my Scorpion. I have not had the chance to ride with an Arai yet, but I hope to some day...

Yeah, it's not like it used to be. Back then it was either Shoei or Arai if you wanted quality and fit. Now there's a dozen other brands that offer really good gear. I've never worn Nolan, Suomy, Shark, Bell, AGV, or anything but the two Japanese brands, but I'm sure Troy Corser wouldn't put his mug up into a Nolan if it weren't top shelf salami.

I'm sure Scorpion are great helmets. I have just owned SHOEI's. They fit me best and best overall performance. In the end, it's what helmet fits you best. Arai's don't fit me as well. So, that was the deciding factor for me.

i have some HJC helmets i'm trying to get rid of $80 each. what size are you? 

maximus3 -> RE: Helmet (6/5/2008 4:22:29 PM)

hey Onarom how is the noise rating in those helmets the 400 and the 700 ones. Looking to buy one but i hate how allot of helments are too noisy

Jump1979man -> RE: Helmet (6/5/2008 4:46:57 PM)

New deal going on now at Riverway Racing

https://www.riverwayracing.com/store/offers.php?mode=offer&offerid=11

FREE Driven Grips with any Scorpion helmet purchase.


AS far as noise is concerned the EXO-400 is good for noise reduction as reported by Webbike World in July 2007 review.

The EXO-700 will be similiar but not quite as quiet as it is more of a race helmet than the EXO-400.

CBR Time -> RE: Helmet (6/18/2008 12:34:00 PM)

picked up my Shoei TZR Tempest from http://www.compacc.com/ no complaints, def cheapest i found anyway

Onarom -> RE: Helmet (6/18/2008 7:08:01 PM)

Sorry for the late post. This is the first time I have been able to post in weeks.

Personally, I feel that my EXO-700 is just a tad bit quieter than my EXO-400. It is a very minute difference though. It could also just be how it fits on me. I also think that the 700 has a bit more air flow.

I am sure it''s not the quietest helmet, but I haven''t had any complaints. It''s definately better for my head than my HJC AC-12.
