Anyone had one. ??????

not looked at them and pick up a Scorpion ADF 9000 instead

Is it a flipper.?

My mates got the scorpion adx 2 and likes it, but says visor/Peak screws come lose. Mixed reviews. The Caberg is a flip up with peak. Not many about.

It’s not - I fancied a flipper but couldn’t do polycarbonate - hence the choice

A few years back I wanted a flipper, but for some reason most I tried touched my chin in the normal closed position (even the Shoei Neotec) which I didn't like.

The only one that didn't was the shark one with the chin bar that looped back behind the helmet, but all the reviews said they were very drafty/noisey.

So I bought an Arai (again).

Her indoors has a carbon Roof, that she flips back to puff on her e-cig, she likes it because it's proper light compared to all the other flip lids she tried.

If it must be a flip in an ADV stylee, then Nexx get some good reviews.

Looks nice that, but it's a bit more than I wanna spend. I don't really need any more but you know how it is. Flip with peak i don't have.

I have an old Arai Tour-X4, it's alright, but at a decent speed the peak catches the wind and whistles.

I couldn't find a flip that fit or I liked.

TBH, I like the idea of an ADV stylee peaked helmet for riding my ADV bike, but my Arai Quantic is light, fits well and looks good enough that I use it on all my bikes.

I've looked at the Scorpion adf9000, looks like a nice adv helmet. But now m&p have gone, I've nowhere near that I can try one. I have no idea of their sizing. It's on offer on Sportsbike shop, and i know they have a good returns policy but I can't be bothered with the sending back if it doesn't fit.

Yes I’ve got one.

The peak has had to come off because it isn’t very rigid and when the visor is fully open the peak movement has scored the visor. I was a bit pissed off having to replace the visor.

Flip up mechanism works well, not as good as a Shoei but for a £160 helmet 3 years ago I’m happy with it.

Quite noisy, but that might be the high screen on my tenere directing wind directly in my face.

I have had one for about 4 years. No issues but it is not the quietest helmet. IMO good value for money but not really in the Shoei Arai class.

And BTW, I have a Caberg shaped head. This is my 4th, and they have all been comfortable.

There's the tourmax and the later tourmax x. Not sure what the differences are and I don't think they come with pinlock included.

Mine came from Sportsbikeshop - the returning is dead easy.
I can wear both Shoei and Arai - and the Scorpion fits true to size, slightly snug at the moment, but it will be ok.

So you reckon if I'm a M (58) shoei, then stick with a M with the Scorpion?

Yup

Well I ordered the Caberg tourmax x in gun metal for £191 from moto Central. All the features I wanted and pinlock included, unlike sbs where it was an extra 30 odd £.

Yesterday fitted pinlock and comms unit, bit of a faff as usual, but all good. Not ridden in it yet so a successful purchase hasn't been determined yet.
