Scorpion Graphics for Fall 2012 Preview

The new Scorpion helmet graphics for 2012 have been released, are available for pre-order and new to RevZilla.com.  There is also an assortment of solid colored Scorpion VX-R70 helmets being released with the Fragment as well.
Scorpion VX-R70 Fragment Helmet


The Scorpion VX-R70 Fragment helmet is new in the lineup of off-road, brilliantly painted graphics, this one in multi-color black, blue and green. The shell is TCT, shatter resistant and aerodynamic with advanced dual-density EPS. The moisture wicking helmet liner and cheek pads are removable and washable. With an AirFit liner inflation system you can customize the interior to fit your head. 
Scorpion VX-R70 Flux HelmetThe Scorpion VX-R70 Flux helmet sports another new helmet graphic available in five colors with concentric stripes and stars. All these Scorpion helmets are loaded with technology and features that offer a ton of bang for your buck. A composite shell is shatter resistant and has aero-tuned ventilation. The closure is a titanium double-d ring for extra security.


Scorpion VX-34 Demented Helmet


The Scorpion VX-34 Demented helmet is the newest graphic in the VX-34 offering. Like the other models, the rider is given aggressive styling at an affordable price, in a lightweight polycarbonate shell. The liner set and mudguard are removable and replaceable. The ventilation system is designed with large intake manifolds and four rear vents that allow maximum airflow. The graphic in black or white background has a pop art feel.

Scorpion VX-34 Trix Helmet


Yet another great graphic is available in the Scorpion VX-34 Trix. The features of the "Trix," include all the same spec's as the other VX-34 models. With multiple colors: white, yellow, green, orange and red, it gives a intergalactic/tribal feel.



Scorpion EXO-500 Dahlia 2 Helmet
The Scorpion EXO-500 Dalia 2 helmet joins a team of existing EXO-500's known for differentiating features. No sunglasses are necessary with the drop down inner sunscreen with both sides treated with anti-fog coating. The graphic is for women who want a feminine look without it being overly so, available in black or white with a vining floral pattern.

We'll update as more information is available and expect a video when we have the lids in our hands.

Scorpion VX-34 Helmet Review

Scorpion VX-34 Oil Helmet
The brand new Scorpion VX-34 Helmet takes everything that its predecessor (the VX-24) was and escalates to a entirely new level. The shell has been completely redesigned, borrowing features and visual appearance from $500+ off-road helmets for an aggressive style. Internally, the liner and cheekpads have been upgraded, while externally we're seeing some features that we've yet to see in a dirt helmet. By pricing this lid south of $200, Scorpion is looking to capture a big portion of dirt riders who want a serious feature set in a high-performance off-road helmet but aren't looking to spend an exorbitant amount of coin.

Check out our Scorpion VX-34 Helmet Review, along with the full feature write-up below:



Scorpion VX-34 Victory Helmet
Starting off, the premium polycarbonate shell has been completely reshaped, and now bears a serious resemblance to some dirt helmets from the super-premium manufacturers. The ridges on the back provide an aggressive appearance but also a secure place for goggle straps. Scorpion has also included the AirFit air pump system, iterating on technology from a 90s shoe manufacturer, and adding an inflatable bladder behind each cheekpad, with a pump button and release button. This allows you to pump it up when the helmet is on, personalizing the fit to your cheeks, and quickly and easily release the air for helmet removal. We've seen this in Scorpion's sport helmets for a while now, and it's nice to see it cross over to the dirt world.

Scorpion VX-34 Scream Helmet
At the interior, Scorpion is now using its brand new KwikWick II cheekpads and crown liner. As with the KwikWick I, the interior is completely removable and washable. However, softer and more comfortable materials are used, and this version is antibacterial and antimicrobial, which will keep the funk out of this helmet. At the front of the helmet, Scorpion has made the metal roost guard completely removable and replaceable. There is a sponge dirt guard that sits behind that is removable, washable and replaceable. The replaceable roost guard is a big innovation, since rocks can easily damage this and render it less effective. It's nice to be able to swap to a new one in the event of damage.

Scorpion VX-34 Spike Helmet
The VX-34 is now DOT & ECE certified, leaving behind the Snell standard of the VX-24. The ECE standard is comparable in safety to Snell, but allows for a lighter shell. A medium Scorpion VX34 Helmet weighs in at a svelte 3.2lbs. Ventilation has been upgraded as well, with air intakes across the brow that channel into the EPS, and a nearly-20mm top vent that is drilled right through the EPS. This feeds two rear top venturi vents and two winglet vents for significant airflow. The peak is adjustable and replaceable, and utilizes plastic bolts for its attachment to ensure that in the event of a face plant, the bolts will sheer off and peak will not cause you any damage.

Scorpion VX-34 Helmet (Solid)
We're looking at mid-July 2011 release on the VX 34. The buzz has been huge surrounding this helmet so far, and our initial look has confirmed the speculation: this helmet offers excellent bang-for-the-buck and a major feature set under 200 bones.
