I am semi-retiring my 6-year old Scorpion EXO AT-950 in favor of a new Scorpion EXO AT-960 because it's the only helmet that has all the features I want and I love the AT-950. The drop-down tinted visor is a must-have. The peak helps to shade the visor. Being modular is a nice convenience, especially for a glasses-wearer. The 960 is aerodynamically improved over the 950 - less wind noise and less tug on the peak. The changes in the vents and user controls are just changes, not quite improvements. Venting may have gone downhill. The 950 venting was average, the 960 is poor. Fit is better in the 960, not as tight on the cheeks as the 950. Overall, the 960 is better than the 950, not that you have a choice since the 950 is discontinued. The features, fit, and price make this helmet my far-and-away first choice. the Hi-viz/Black Topographic colorway is a stunner, looks even better in person.
Brian offers unparalleled customer service and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Will be returning for all future moto needs.
Got these to replace Sidi Adv 2. The added protection can be seen and felt upon taking them out of the box and even more so when putting them on. The memory foam that firmly encases the ankle combined with the solid outer boot and hinge should keep the ankle as safe as possible. The stiff sole and firm but low-profile toe box will keep the foot from getting smashed. Despite having the feel of a ski boot, the SG-12 is absolutely walkable.
Should have bought them to begin with instead of seeking a compromise in the Sidi Adv 2.
I’m a 10 1/2 US in running shoes and 11 fit perfectly in both the SG-12 and Adv 2.
Thanks Brian, for taking the time to explain the differences and shipping these out very quickly. Looking forward to years or riding in them!!
With the help of Brian who called me on a Saturday morning helped with my decision. I had a couple boots in mind and these were on my short list. They showed up and I tried them on and they’re very comfortable and flex nice while walking. I think this boot offers the best blend of comfort,protection and value. I’m going to be very happy with them. They’re almost to nice looking to wear but I’m going to.
While dealing with Brian on this purchase it became obvious I was dealing with a highly knowledgeable, old school motorcycle guy. It reminded me of the guys I would talk with 30 years ago who knew the products, all the products. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you what you need. And it will likely be just that. There's value in this service. The SG12's are a heavy duty boot. To the point I was asking myself " do I need this much protection?" After breaking my leg at the ankle waring my old boots the answer was clearly yes. There are going to take some getting used to no doubt about it but you will have THE best protection money can buy. I can't compare to the Tech 10's because I haven't worn those. The Klim helmet Brian recommended is fantastic as well.
Brian suggested this helmet for the large opening, light weight and ventilation. It performed as advertised. Did my first race with it and had no issues. I didn't even notice it and that's what I want
