OhioBob Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi, I am looking, well wasn't, but now am looking for a new lid to replace my aging Bell Star (Snell2005). It has been a great lid, but has probably been a little bigger than should be on me. I wear a Large for most helmets. Anyways, I stumbled on to some truly or seemingly great deals of Scorpion riding gear. So, has anyone had/tried the Scorpion EXO-R2000 full face helmet? If so, how did/do you like it over the long haul? How has it stood the test of time? Have you had other lids? If so, how does the R2000 compare to those? Ride Hard or what's the point?

Tonik Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not with that one specifically, but others of theirs a few years ago. They make very good mid range helmets. Good value for the price. They run small and a bit narrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBob Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Tonik, Thanks for your reply. If I was up in the air between the new Bell Star (street) helmet and the Scorpion EXO-R2000 helmet, which would you lean towards? What if the R2000 helmet was discounted by half (under $200)? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I would buy the one that fits better. If they fit the same I would buy the Bell, it's nicer. Price wouldn't sway me, comfort would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBob Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I agree, whatever product fits "you" better is the one for that individual. However, what makes you say that the Bell is nicer than the Scorpion? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nicer liners and padding. Thinner inner shell so the overall size is smaller. Generally a bit lighter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I have had two Scorpions and a Shoei. Scorpion is a solid helmet and my shoie is fantastic. Bought my wife a Bell that was half the price of my shoei and I was jealous because it just seemed "nicer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
