We all have our favorite helmet brands, and one of the many reasons why we love the brands we love is because of their success in motorsports. Big names like AGV, Shoei, and Arai have pretty much cemented their names in the motorcycle racing hall of fame, protecting the noggins of some of the sport’s greatest racers. In recent times, a rather fledgling helmet brand has been seeing success on the circuit, too.
I’m talking about Scorpion, the company that supplies the helmets of 2021 MotoGP World Champion Fabio Quartararo, and the recently crowned WorldSBK Champion Alvaro Bautista. Now, of course, the brand of helmet isn’t responsible for the racers’ success on the track, but it sure does get to hop on the hype train brought about by the success of the racers it sponsors. I mean, that’s exactly what sponsorships are about, right? Because of Scorpion’s rapid rise to fame, it has been able to release a slew of new helmets in the market, the newest of which is the Covert FX, a sporty full-face helmet with a retro twist.
