IRVINE, Calif. (January 22, 2015) – Scorpion Helmets will become a major player in EnduroCross in 2015. Scorpion will be recognized as the official helmet of the GEICO EnduroCross Championship and will also have Colton Haaker representing the brand for 2015.

“We have been looking for the right opportunity to get involved with EnduroCross for several years,” said John Kim, VP of Business Operations at Scorpion Sports Inc. “Colton Haaker has chosen Scorpion’s VX-R70 Helmet so we are really happy to have a championship contender showcasing the brand and look forward to backing that up with a major presence at all of the EnduroCross events”.

“Scorpion makes a great line of products so we are thrilled about the opportunity to help broaden the awareness among the EnduroCross racers and fans,” said Lance Bryson, Director of Sales and Marketing for EnduroCross.
