The problem is apart from proper enthusiasts like us, most of the people in India use a healmet only bcs the govt asks them to. They buy the cheapest possible thing at 400 rupees. Now imagine the prospects of a company whose starting range coms in at 5k+. Even though they will get a substantial amount of sales, it wont be enough to justify the effort it takes to setup plant here or ship it in. We as consumers need to change, we as bikers need to educate the people on WHY it is important to buy proper gear.
I was personally one of the "idiots" who bought a 300 rupee healmet when I first got my bike few years ago though I quickly learned and switched, that is not the case with most of the people here.

As far as I know, ICON helmets/bike wear is not yet available in India.. and they are certainly not cheap for the average desi biker.Originally posted by lockhrt999 View PostThere are many roadside dealers of Icon in India.
