“I do a lot of riding,” says Nikki Sloan, Scorpion’s R & D Director. “I started motocrossing with my Dad and brothers, out on the ranch in Wyoming, when I was eight, and I’ve been street riding and road racing since I got my license. So I know what I like in a helmet—and what I don’t.

When Scorpion hired me, we decided that good enough just wasn’t good enough. We wanted to make Scorpion revolutionary, not evolutionary. So we started with a clean CAD-CAM screen, to make these the most advanced, most user-friendly helmets we could.”

“A helmet’s first job is helping to protect you—and me—in a crash,” says Nikki Sloan, Scorpion R & D Director. “And that’s why I insisted that every Scorpion helmet, for dirt or street, conforms to the Snell Foundation’s safety and quality standards—the most demanding helmet standards in the world.”

“We build every Scorpion helmet to some of the most rigid quality standards in the industry,” explains Nikki. “Whether you choose a Fiberglass/Kevlar™ Scorpion helmet or a Polycarbonate Composite Scorpion helmet, you’ll always know that it was designed and built by meticulous craftspeople, using the latest, most sophisticated technology, in one of the most modern, most cutting-edge helmet factories in the world.

Our state-of-the-art factory campus—“The Big Nest”—is the reason we can offer such amazing quality at such a reasonable price. Most other helmet companies farm out different pieces of their helmets to other companies—or just buy their helmets from another company and stick their own label on—, so they don’t control exactly how—or how well—they were made. We make everything but our streetbike faceshields in our own controlled environment—and even the shields are made very close by, in an equally advanced and controlled facility. We know it’s done right—because we do it ourselves.

How good is a Scorpion helmet? Well, I like to put it this way. What’s the difference between a $600 helmet and a Scorpion Helmet? About four hundred bucks.”
