Scorpion Helmets riders go well at Brno
Motorcycle helmets don’t get much tougher testing than when they’re used by motorcycle racers. And the pinnacle of two-wheeled motorsport is the MotoGP championship. So it’s interesting to see which riders are wearing which particular brand, and how they’re doing. We thought we’d take a look at the results from the most recent Brno round, paying particular attention to riders wearing Scorpion helmets.
In MotoGP, Alvaro Bautista finished in fifth place, following a hard battle with Valentino Rossi. British riders Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith both crashed out of the race, but will be ready for the British GP at Silverstone this weekend.
The supporting Moto3 race also saw a fine fifth for Scorpion wearer Alexis Masbou, seventh for Jack Miller, and 13th for British rider John McPhee who spent much of the race battling in the lead group.
But it was in Moto2 that Marc VDS Racing’s Mika Kallio took an unexpected victory. Not only did that mean his Scorpion lid got a trip to the top step of the podium, but it was also good news for fans of British racer Scott Redding, as it meant his title rival Pol Espargaro could only manage fourth, leaving Redding with a healthy championship lead for the British round. In fact, Scorpion helmets had two racers finish in the top 6, with Nicholas Terol.

Of course, if you’re not on track every weekend, you might prefer an open-face helmet, in which case we have the Scorpion EXo-100 with sun visor and removable peak. Or something between the two, with the Scorpion EXO-900 Air Transformer, which is ACU approved as a full face helmet, but has a removable chin bar to turn into a jet open-face helmet instead.
