Sizing Chart
The sizing chart is simply a starting guide since head shapes vary person to person. Start by measuring the circumference around your head at the temple, just above the eyebrow line (approximately one inch above eyebrows) using a soft tape measure. Then select the helmet size that is closest to your head from the size chart. If your head falls between two helmet sizes, first start by trying on the small of the two. For the best fit, helmets should be fitted by an authorized dealer.

This is a great helmet. The fit was perfect, it’s comfortable, light, easy to use even for a beginner like myself, flows air good especially above 40 mph and it sure does look awesome. I didn’t want to waste money on something cheap or anything extreme. This is that perfect medium of everything and looks so sweet in person. Highly recommend spending the money.

I have tried TSG, Bell, and others, and the size of this is great. It’s a beautiful helmet with all of the features that I want. It’s darn expensive, though, which is its biggest “con.”

Absolutely fantastic, and it better be for this price. The lighter weight really is quite noticeable. Getting the visor film to adhere without any contaminants (hair, dust etc) is tricky – I recommend spending some time watching installs beforehand.

looks good. did not fit my head. xl was way to loose and the large fit but the back of head/neck pressure was un bearable after 30 min or so. I tried a few times hoping break in would make it better yet riding was miserable. I’ve moved back to Shoei rf1400 and x-15. I am sure it’s something to do with my head shape. Otherwise seemed like quality Helment yet couldn’t really ride enough with it to give complete evaluation.

1st review: Looks and has the feel of a quality helmet, but about the sizing chart… well, I don’t know. With a 23 inch circumference and an intermediate oval head shape I ordered a large per the chart. I couldn’t have squeezed into this thing if I had shaved my head and lubed up with a stick of butter. Back she goes!2nd review: My 23 inch noggin with it’s intermittent oval shape just slipped into a size XL. A snug fit, but not oppressively so. Rather comfortable now that it’s on. I really, really like the look; a bit edgy and very aggressive! US and European certifications give me complete confidence in this helmet. Now for her first ride.3rd and final review: After a few hundred miles of trialing this helmet I am extremely satisfied. As far as fit is concerned, and I know everybody’s head is shaped differently, I have not experienced any hotspots and the cheek pads are comfortably firm (great padding). Fogging of the shield has not been an issue in ~45° weather. The ventilation system seems to work well although at that temperature its use was minimal. Experienced wind noise seemed minimal, but then again I’m coming from a modular helmet. My ride is a naked bike and even at speeds in excess of 70 mph I can’t complain about the sound of the passing wind. And finally, the aerodynamics excel; buffeting in all positions were hardly noticeable and never annoying. A truly great helmet and it just keeps looking better every day!One final word. For those of us that are not fond of the blazing “S” logo on the front of Scorpion helmets, I found that a credit card will easily pry away the adhesive making removal of said logo easy.

Lightweight helmet. The carbon fiber is BEAUTIFUL. Picked this helmet up as a Christmas present and my girlfriend loves it.

This helmet rocks!! So light and the fit is perfect, have been using the HJC rpha11 and loved that also, but was getting old and is 1/2 lb heavier
