38 DIRT TOYS MAY 2014 Due to the nature of our business, we get to wear a lot of helmets while doing our job. And to be honest, for the most part, there aren't many hel- mets we've had a chance to wear that we would consider really crappy. ere have been one or two over the years that were worn once and then left on the shelf collecting dust. One that isn't collecting dust—at least on a shelf—is our Scorpion VX- R70 Off-Road Helmet. We've worn our Scorpion helmet on numerous rides since first receiving it about a year ago. e only dust it collects is on the trail as we've dialed up a lot of miles wearing this Scorpion helmet. e VX-R70 has a TCT (er- modynamic Composite Technology) composite shell that was developed by the California-based company and is a 5-layer blend of interlaced and specially formulated fiberglass, aramid and or- ganic poly-resin fibers. Without getting too technical, aramid is known for its resistance to high temperatures while having great strength. Scorpion uses anti-microbial Kwik- Wick II liner fabric on the inside of the VX-R70, which is designed to keep the rider cool in the summer and warm in cool weather. e liner can be easily removed and is washable. ere are three intake ports across the eyebrow area which allows air in the front of the helmet while four exhaust ports help move the hot air out. ere are also five intake ports on the chin bar for even more air movement. One unique feature on the VX-R70 is the AirFit Liner Inflation System, which is an inflatable cheek pad system you can adjust to a more personalized fit. More on that feature later. Another feature Scorpion crows about on this helmet is the shatter-resis- tant aero-tuned visor. en there's the quick-change chin vent and a detach- able chin strap cover. BACK IN BLACK e version of the VX-R70 is the solid black. If you want a little more color in your riding gear, Scorpion of- fers the VX-R70 in four other versions, varying in color schemes from mild to a bit wild. When we first received our black VX-R70, we wondered if the solid black would attract the summer sun and make the helmet too warm and SCORPION VX-R70 OFF-ROAD HELMET PRODUCT REVIEW Advertiser - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Page # Arctic Cat Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 39 Bikeman Performance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25 Super Clamp - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13 Box Y Lodge - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 12 Can-am Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 52 Carl's Cycle Sales - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 46 Crooked Creek Guest Ranch - - - - - - - - - - -3 Dalton Industries - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 12 Eastern Sierra ATV & UTV Jamboree - - - - - - Honda Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25 Johnson Custom Iron (The Spine) - - - - - - - 39 Kawasaki Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13 Kurt's Polaris- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -9 KYMCO Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 46 KYMCO USA - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 56 Mercer Chamber of Commerce- - - - - - - - - 20 Millennium Technologies - - - - - - - - - - - - -9 Polaris Dealers- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 35 Powersports Adventures - - - - - - - - - - - - - -9 Powersports Adventures - - - - - - - - - - - - - 52 Rally on the Rocks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 21 Ricochet Offroad Armor - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25 Ryfab & Coatings - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 39 Starting Line Products - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -7 Super Bright LEDs, Inc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -7 TEAM Industries, Inc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -5 Triton Corporation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 12 UTV Mountain Accessories - - - - - - - - - - - 11 UTV Tech - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -3 Yamaha Dealers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 21 ZBROZ Racing - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 11 ADVERTISER INDEX
