That helmet is out now. It's just not as easy to find as the 700s

The EXO-1000's are not in production. Limited availability is expected in Feb 2008. You can pre-order through KneeDraggers.com - Sportbike Parts, Accessories, and Apparel. The HJC FS-10 has the same shade feature and are in stock for $229.49.

Yeah.. Scorpion has even taken the 1000 off the website for now. I have a couple Arai RX-7 Corsairs that I used before I got the Scorpion, and I think I actually prefer the fit of the EXO-700. Of course, I might just have a 'scorpion' shaped head too.. so your mileage may vary.

I've never liked the fit of the HJC's I've seen. The one I got years ago feels really heavy and HUGE compared to the Scorpion.

I tried on a Scorpion EXO-700 prior to picking up my AGV. It felt pretty good, just didn't feel "right." I guess I don't have the head shape for a scorpion. I have never tried on an HJC. I have a Suomy Spec-1R Extreme, a Shoei RF-1000, and an AGV XR-2. The Suomy was my first helmet, and I don't think I would look for another. The AGV and the Shoei seem to fit pretty similar.

Suomy all the way for me... cant wait till the rf1000 is released cuz it seems like the 700 fits well on my head.... if smashed 2 spec 1 r's and i never had one headache so i do not doubt the reliablity of these helmets..... i would like to try something that is good yet a little lighter on the wallet. cuz 2 suomy's = 1800 CAD

I know where you are coming from. I really liked the construction and feel of the Suomy as well, but after it broke in a little, it just didn't fit the same. It seems for me, the Shoei and the AGV are the best fits so far, but once the new Suomy's have been released, I will definitely try one and see how it fits.

what new suomys?

The new grafix...they typically introduce new ones every year. I've hear you can change the cheek pads to semi-custom fit the helmet, so I may give it a try. You can get good deals on Suomy's...you just have to shop around. I bought my Barros Spec-1R Extreme for $350.00 brand new.

What rf1000 are you referring to?

Cyanide41 · 09-17-2007, 10:42 AM

Your right, I guess the EXO-1000s are not out. I wonder what the hold up is.
