JAXTOY Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I just bought Scorpion EXO 400 helmet and let me tell you this frickin thing suck big time.When i was riding on the freeway the wind noise is so bad i could not hear nothing else.I called the stealership where the helmet was purchased last thursday and ask them if i can exchange for Shoei and they told me NO.So looks like i will be stuck with this POS helmet for now. :twisted: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amherst XX Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Try to sell it. There are alot of people that love the Scorpions...you could probably recoop alot of your costs. Advertise it on here and I'd be surprised if it didn't sell. You'll take a loss but better than living with a lid that you hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you get the added perk of little to no visiblity (but it looks cool :evil: ). Amherst XX, that avitar is cool. That guy is in the zone.

The Krypt Keeper Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I really don't want to sell this POS helmet to any member on this forum. Cool I will pay for shipping and you can give it to me. Hell Someone might buy it as a backup or a spare lid for passengers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconXX Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yeah, I have this friend, see that's NOT on this forum that has the same head size I do and HE was wondering about it. Definitely NOT me. So, umm, how about posting some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmike Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I've been hearing generally good things about these helmets, but for disparaging comments about the wind noise. Good venting is essential to me in the Deep South, and that is always gonna have an impact on wind noise... Any other observations worthy of consideration or comments..? OK, ...besides the low prices...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHi Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I've been hearing generally good things about these helmets, but for disparaging comments about the wind noise. Good venting is essential to me in the Deep South, and that is always gonna have an impact on wind noise... Any other observations worthy of consideration or comments..?OK, ...besides the low prices...? Well, I just love the hell outta my Scorpion and think enough of them, that I'm gonna get one for my daughter since she's outgrowing her current helmet. That's the thing about venting... Ya want air... Gonna get some noise... Want quiet... Gonna sweat like a f'n pig... Ear plugs work for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I love my X-11. I don't find it any noisier than any other helmet I've tried. I wear earplugs anyway. Visibility seems fine to me and it's nice a and light. However.....I doubt I'll buy again simply b/c I don't think they're worth the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
