Background I’ve been in need of a helmet upgrade for quite some time now.

As luck would have it, the good folks at Scorpion...

I still think of Scorpion helmets as a “new” manufacturer but as I did my research for this review I realized they have been around for quite a while now. In fact, it has been about 16 years since we reviewed their EXO 700 helmet (Dec, 2004) and we came...

I’ve been involved with some inexpensive helmet reviews before and came away mostly underwhelmed. Past reviews of helmets like the Gmax MD01 were “just ok” as one such example. Even more notably there’s the Nenki NK856, a helmet I would never personally wear and generally love to hate. Sorry Nenki,...
I have never worn an HJC helmet before or even tried on one while window shopping. So I was very...
