Actually the HJC AC-12 carbon fiber is the lightest helmet on the market (as of 2007). It weighed a few grams less then the Arai RX7 Corsair.

Both of those are even lighter then a Sumoy. Plus Suomy is having financial issues right now and not even honoring warranties.

Good looking lid, Tig. I'll post a review of my scorpion after this weekend.

Thanks! Do Scorpion's come with a chin curtain now? That is my only complaint with the Scorpion,too much air came in under the chin. Chin guard fixed it right up.

I picked up an Akuma at a local dealership and was shocked at how heavy it was in comparison.

Hmmmm...I just picked them both up and they seem similar. All the reviewer marveled at how "light" the Akuma was. I'll get a scale later and test it out for shits and giggles. Anyway,weight isn't the only way I evaluate a helmet.

I just bought a new helmet too, but it's a boring black Shoei Multitec flip-up. My Nolan was getting really stinky so I figured it needs a break. A LONGGGGG BREAK!!!
