#1 If they're not too happy with SHARP, why plaster their helmets with SHARP 4 STAR stickers!Originally posted by lasky View Post
#2 If that is true, what about the huge price discrepancy on the SHARP site - FF350 was bought for 110GBP and FF351 is for 39!
LS2 FF350 Mono Full face 110.00 (weight 1.65 kg SHARP Helmets - LS2 FF350 Mono)
LS2 FF351 Full face 39.99 (weight 1.35 kg SHARP Helmets - LS2 FF351)Last edited by AK3D; 05-09-2014, 12:23 AM.Comment

[MENTION=15693]princesirohi[/MENTION], This statement means that the jargon given by Laxmi Auto about region/ country specific models made by LS2 is untrue.Originally posted by lasky View Post
Great. Let's hope for a logical answer. Did you mark the mail to Laxmi Auto as well?Originally posted by princesirohi View Post
Precisely. It is not a legal requirement and FF351 has only single star rating so this is simple case of cheating the gullible.Originally posted by AK3D View Post
As I have been saying all along, these two are completely different models and only because they want to claim a higher safety rating, they have been claiming that these are the same models. Both helmets have different weight, different price points and only someone with wrong intention can claim that these are one and the same.Originally posted by AK3D View Post
I honestly think that Laxmi Auto is buying helmets from LS2. However, the helmets supplied by company are not to the specifications they are claimed. (you can check weight test where nearly every helmet has failed to be in the specified price range). And knowingly or unknowingly, Laxmi Auto is promoting these helmets as 4 star rated helmets.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

Re: LS2 Helmets India - Genuine or Fake ..??
FF351 is derived from FF350, and it seems the changes are incorporated to enable bluetooth devices to be able to fit, infact if you again visit sharp website and check both these models, FF351 has fared badly in side impact zones, rest is same. lets wait and watch and also wee when we indian get the new FF352 model.Originally posted by trustvishwas View PostComment

Re: LS2 Helmets India - Genuine or Fake ..??
You reduce weight of a helmet by 18% , reduce its price by 63% and you essentially have the same helmet..... right?Originally posted by princesirohi View Post
1. What is your take on country/region specific helmets manufactured? Laxmi Auto told you that LS2 are being manufactured as per regional requirements. Whereas Gavin Mccaffery clearly says that - we make this model for 83 countries with no country specific changes.
2. Every product in the world is usually derived from its predecessor...may be for reduction in cost....may be for maintaining brand image......This does not mean that the product that is being replaced is same one. Would you say that the New Skoda Octavia is the same as old Skoda octavia? It is derived from older model but it is NOT the same.Last edited by trustvishwas; 05-09-2014, 12:43 PM.Never argue with an idiot.

Re: LS2 Helmets India - Genuine or Fake ..??
as i have already mentioned and will say it again, i believe since TDT is only a design team and not the manufacturer, they may not be fully aware of what changes the manufacturer has done at factory level for selling in other regions at a lower cost. lets wait for reply from LS2 china (MHR)Originally posted by trustvishwas View PostYou reduce weight of a helmet by 18% , reduce its price by 63% and you essentially have the same helmet..... right?

i have even mentioned about TDT in my e-mail to LS2 china, so lets wait for there reply.
i never said FF351 is same as FF350, i only said FF351 is derived from FF350. and may be company is aware about the shortcomings of FF351, that is why may be it is coming up with FF352, so lets wait for reply from LS2 china.Comment

FF350 has 4 stars.....FF351 has 1 star.....FF351 is derived from FF350.......FF350 weighs 1650 grams......FF351 weighs 1350 grams....FF350 costs 11k.....FF351 costs 4k.....LS2 claims that FF351 achieves 4stars as FF350.......Why not claim 1 star as FF351 when the product you are selling is FF351 and NOT FF350? ......simply because most customers will rely on their claim of 4 star rating......simply cheating in my opinion. Of course, your opinion may differ.
If you see I have not mentioned TDT in my post here.
Would you accept if Bajaj claims Duke 200 performance figures for 200 NS (as Duke 200)? If yes, wow....great. If no, why not?Last edited by trustvishwas; 05-09-2014, 01:17 PM.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

Re: LS2 Helmets India - Genuine or Fake ..??
The FF350s are old models. I think they were last manufactured in 2012. They were pretty famous in xBhp back in the day> Here's a link which shows a couple more designs.

I think this one is an FF350.
