I think I would prefer the Daijya CF for 13k...Originally posted by burninrubbr View Post^^ I think its the non-CF version that they're talking bout, but 10k is real cheap, PlanetDSG sells the Daijya CF helmet for 13 and 16k

Maybe I am wrong, but the price somehow is not very convincing to me. Keeping the high import duties aside, genuine carbon fibre helmets are still pretty expensive abroad, whereas I have seen some fiberglass accessories for superbikes sporting very good carbon fiber look but they aren't, and are sold as "give your bike a carbon fiber look". Lets hope its genuine carbon fiber at an affordable price.
BTW, carbon fiber is a tough material for the outer shell and mainly makes it a lighter helmet, whereas the most important impact absorbing component in a helmet is still the liner & other cusioning stuff inside the helmet, a lot of which is derived from space research. Thats what makes premium imported helmets costly.

i think it is a genuine cf helmet ,most steelbird lids are priced between 1-3k rs . i dont think they will charge so much more than their other helmets if it just had a carbon fibre look vinyls on them .Originally posted by Haroon View PostMaybe I am wrong, but the price somehow is not very convincing to me.
