      Great buddy-it has bedded in. Now I'm using with my helmet cap (nothing posh, 20 Rs. waala). Overall feels very nice, did not dislocate even at 125 kmph on Wednesday night. Whistling is high though. Only thing was the rear sticker-no more a concern hopefully after using cobbler's glue!
      When are you getting the 3G? My friend got one yesterday-he plans to use it with his Bull.
      On the other hand, I'm waiting to put the Vega high end to test soon...

        shouldn't take more than 5 minutes unless you get stuck in a jam.

            I got the plain gloss for both-had to order for it from Bangalore since Hyd had only matt. In Ninja matt was available only in 3G&other than that designer was also there. I have developed an allergy towards matt ever since my Boolean started peeling off. I know it doesn't happen always, but I won't buy anymore matt finish helmets!

            • A great job, my helmet waala too advised me against using matte (especially vega matte), he said it peels off after contact with water (rains).

                Yes, matt is initially immune to scratches, but in the long run, even wiping it frequently causes the finish to get dull&you can see the black undercoat in a few months!

                • just been to the CBZ to check the Studds Rhyno. Tried the XL, felt like one size smaller will fit me well, they did'nt have, so asked them to get both L and m size and will buy the right fit.

                  About the helmet - Padding is really good - removable and washable - Has vents on both front and back - fit, felt like its a little bit tight over the upper cheek area- near the ear, compared to other helmets, Will have to try the right size to speak more about the fit - weight, 1450gms and lil heavier than my boolean but still its a light weight helmet if you ask me!

                  and overall its a good helmet with ECE and ISI certification for an amazing price - real VFM

                  and finally getting one soon, have ordered for a smaller size, will get it once it arrives - 10+days

                        • One of my friends has bought a Rhyno couple of days back. Just check last few pages in this thread. The price for it in kolkata is 1140INR. Nice helmet. Total VFM.

                            Yeah bro, real VFM

                            But that Rhyno is different bro. This one is especially for CBZ from Studds ,you get it only at CBZ and it meets European quality standards.

                              I've said here many times that this one is a real VFM with only one problem that is in bold above. It kind of presses your lower ear part. But the people using it say it hardly took them about one trip to get used to it and it is real good otherwise.

                              But even at the CBZ it was available for Rs 1699 when I checked last month. Also, this helmet seems to be like you need one size bigger than others. For most other helmets M is the size for me and this one XL was only a little loose and even Okay to an extent.

                              Visot is really very good - anti scratch & shatter proof - anti glare thing works real well and replacement is available for Rs 150 easily. You have very good inner lining (the older ones had removable inner lining but when I tried in a newer one I felt I might tear out something as I couldn't find out clearly if it is removable. Shell is a good fibreglass one. Very good ventilation that works, breath deflector, pretty good padding/damping.

                              Just liked it and it is actually the same helmet as the one in the CBZ except for graphics... still cannot believe that price. Trust me, that helmet is a real steal at Rs 1140. We all can go ahead and buy in bulk
