    Re: Helmets

    I am using Shiro SH890 and a lot of friends are using the 881 and 821. Chin support is good, but there is no internal visor, it comes with free Pinlock30 antifog sheet on sh881 and sh890. They are lightweight helmets but best suited to city duties.


    thank you, what would you suggest for a long term use, like i ll be using it as long as the visor available or until the cushions torn a part. i am using a normal studds helmet now(rs2500) ,generally ride at 80km (occasional city and short tours) but i would like to extend it to 120 km with a good helmet. In that case for a budget of up to 6k which is the better choice? safety and reliability are first and second priority.

    I use internal Visor occasionally, other wise i would have jumped to shiro, but if i can wear glass inside then it may be a good choice.
    scorpion is new to me, never heard before, in my gang every one use smk, i dont like much, but most of them are 2 to 3 years old still intact.
    i was thinking about MT, but not sure about after service . so what would you suggest.

    Your valuable suggestions are welcome, i don't have much experience with helmets

    thank you

    Get Scorpion EXO390 if you have such budget. MT isn't worth it there.

    Was looking for a helmet in the budget of around 6k. Please suggest some good ones
    Also, how is MT thunder 3SV? I was considering that but heard it has a lot of wind noise ?
    Edit: Would be used for City and Touring (70-30%) and I also wear spectacles.

    Thanks,
    Varun
    Little wind noise is present in most helmets. Thunder 3SV and SMK force are good options there.

    Hey guys
    I am looking for an adv /off road helmet in 4-6k budget. Should be DOT /ECE certified. Did a thorough online hunting, but none of them have stock of one. Any shop in Bangalore (East/ NE) who keep some options?

    You can fit intercom yes.
    Inner sun visor - No
    what is fog rain protection ?

    it comes with a free pinlock 30 sheet, it is the best antifog sheet available for helmets.

    Don't know about the others but SMK stellar is good. Although it does not offer an internal sun visor, it comes with a pinlock 30 anti-fog visor. Extremely useful in rainy weather at crawling speeds. I have been using mine for a year now. The build quality is good but not comparable to a LS2 or MT.
