Re: In the market for a new lid!
I picked up the Scorp EXO-750 earlier this season and have been real pleased. I've always thought Scorp made a great helmet for being "2nd tier." The 750 is labeled as their "trackday helmet," and has the nice feature of a locking shield, plus the pump-up cheek pads. It's real quiet, and no change in pressure when I turn my head to the side. It's also much lighter than the 1000. RECOMMEND.
Re: In the market for a new lid!
Everything. The spec 1r is loud compared to every helmet.

Re: In the market for a new lid!
They def. have some good prices. However, this noise factor from the Spec 1r seems to be dampening my opinion :/hey trix, check out speed addict cycles on ebay. they specialize in suomy's. you can make them an offer and see if they'll take it. worth a shot.

I looked at those quite a bit. I was kind of hoping for the 1000 though because I like the internal visor that flipped down.
Is it really that loud, or are you comparing it to top end helmets.. I mean, if I get a Spec 1r for $300 I'm not going to expect it to be as good as a $700 arai or shoei. But is it that much louder than other helmets I'd buy for around $300?
Re: In the market for a new lid!
I'm comparing it to almost all helmets. And yes the top models as the spec1 is basically a top model. It's almost identical to the extreme. The arai is not quiet either. But you should be wearing ear plugs in any helmet.

Re: In the market for a new lid!
A loud helmet doesn't mean you have a cheap helmet. Actually, almost all of the high end helmets are loud because they vent so well.
Re: In the market for a new lid!
Ok, I was getting the vibe that it was going to be like a fighter jet taking off or somethingI always have leftover earplugs in my pockets from work anyways so that will be good. Maybe even my iPod sometimes
Re: In the market for a new lid!
Yea man, you can focus a lot easier with ear plugs when riding.
Hey you should consider getting this:
Bell Vortex Torn Gold Helmet from SportbikeTrackGear.com
$100 bucks, can't beat that. Main reason is I want you to try the photochromic visor (turns dark in the sun and clear at night) and report back
webbikeworld gave it some awesome reviews:

Re: In the market for a new lid!
The spec1 is way better then that. Since it's only $100 why don't you buy it D?Yea man, you can focus a lot easier with ear plugs when riding.
