  • Re: Helmets

    So, between the Studds Shifter and the Studds Thunder (new launch, apparently), which is a better helmet?

    • Re: Helmets

      Guys need a suggestion. My doctor has advised me to wear a lighter helmet. Currently I have a Vega Boolean which weighs 1.5 Kgs. I had it tested on my weighing scale. Can you please suggest a good full face helmet which is 1Kg or less than 1 Kg. It should offer good full face protection. It need not have vents for air flow and my primary requirements are light weight and very good full face protection.

      Can you please suggest some models that I can buy?

        I felt shifter better, except the chin curtain on thunder is a good addition.

        Check out studds chrome economy and studds professional. Though they sacrifice much on protection, but tip the scale around a kg.

          Are there non Studds/Steelbird/Vega helmets which weigh about 1 KG or less than 1 KG? Any imported brands that I can look at.

            Why don't you take a look at the MT snake carbon fiber helmet. As you can understand, being a CF helmet it's super light and super rigid though will be a bit of a pocket pinch.

              Hi all

              I planned to upgrade my helmet and my budget is strictly 5k. Mostly daily city commute and occasional touring.
              My choices are

              Mt mugello
              Axxis draken
              Axor rage Ecco
              Smk stellar

              Help me to choose best one.

              PS:I'm not a fan of more graphics helmet

                  Why not SMK or Axor? Can you please explain? I'm looking to upgrade my Vega off-road helmet. I'm confused by the number of options. My budget is 4k

                    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.

                        Get SMK Stellar, beautiful lid for that price and comes with free Pinlock 30 sheet installed. Goodluck.

                          Can we fit intercom in it? Does it have inner sun visor? Can the visor be changed? Like with fog rain protection?

                            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.

                              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?
