    Do tell us about how it feels when you wear it, use it for short city rides, long rides. How effective is the dark visor. How easily does the outside visor get scratched. Wind noise etc.

    Also please do not use SMS language on the forum. Edit your post to make it proper english. Thanks

      Hi
      Nice review. Is this the same helmet?

      It says it has Embedded speaker pockets for communication systems

      NFC Technology enabled Emergency GPS Location Warning System
      Do you have these, if yes can use those and review?

        I'm having this Mt blade helmet but its internal visor eventually gets loose and it will be an issue during night rides . I had mine replaced for the above issue and the new one I had got as replacement is having the same issue after 2 months[emoji36] [emoji35] . Its overall good though[emoji29]

          I had also bought this helmet last week, mainly because the shop did not have any other model in XXL size. I have not started using it so your quote for internal visor is a bit worrying. Did the visor get loose due to always operating it or it got loose on its own over time? Also in the case it gets loose can we remove it?

          I did not have any NFC sticker on helmet or any mention in booklet I got, but anyway this tech is not much useful as far as I have read above it, so no concerns.

            It will be loose over time....it cannot be tightened by any a screwdriver... You can find that when you remove the visor attachment on the internal visor handle side....... The first one I had bought had NFC but its just a waste tech. I never found it helpful ... When replaced it didn't have NFC thing[emoji53]

              You can feel the wind noise at higher speed because of the little gaps present between visor and shell at sides!!
              Regarding fit its fits perfectly but while choosing helmet dont go through measurement charts its of no use for 90% of people!!
              Take time n wear different sizes and select the one which feels comfortable.

              I havent felt it like hot oven because of bengaluru's weather!!

              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

              Yes!
              It has speaker pocket but No NFC tag!!

                The version with NFC has been discontinued, even though it is still listed on their website.

                      Hi,
                      How about the weight of helmet? Can it be comfortable for touring? Do around 100 to 110 kmph on my ZMR. Wind noise or any other noise? I am using earphones while driving, so far used 3 helmets(budget helmets), all the helmets pressing the ear and earphones, not at all comfortable and it was paining over time. How about this in MT?

                        Thanks for the review mate, Can you tell me if you have any problems with the helmet now? As someone mentioned the internal visor is loose did that happen to you? I'm planning to buy this one.

                          I have had the MT Blade for a couple of months and I have done a few short intra city rides. The review is already well done so I will not do the same. I will answer any questions you may have.

                          It is comfortable for touring. However, using earphone on this was quite painful in this too and I would recommend you to see if other speaker systems which fit in the helmet are an option for you.

                          I have not used the Internal visor much. However, it has been quite satisfactory and can also be used over spectacles. It would probably be better if you invested in sun glasses if internal visor is the reason you are going for this.

                            Good to know!
                            Actually i too have spectacles, and internal sun visor is one of the main reasons i'm going for this, as i can't find good sunglasses with power lenses.

                              Not that it pertains to me but I dont think any helmets are made with intentions of earphone usage. Its rather not safe to be unaware of your surroundings. Especially on our roads. . . . Please stop using them.
                              Being on two wheels is being liberated. The vastness one feels being under the open sky. The whole feeling. . . cant be described.
