Re: Helmets

HJC CL17 without a doubt, Snell 2015 certified and passes ECE r22.05 too.

Check Airoh Valor. I saw a deal @ 9775/- from bikersdna insta page. I'm not promoting the page, but just informing

Re: Helmets

I have a different take. Daily comute or touring, safety is utmost important. Accidents doesnt happen with prior information.
I still suggest people to invest in SMK, Shifter if they are on budget, somehow Vega and Axor doesnt give me confidence from safety pov.

I will totally support this thought. Accidents don't happen without prior notice and staying safe is your choice not a mandate.

Also, I believe in wearing safety gears works like adding a fashion dimension to me.

Yes, for the price is 2k, that's all one can expect I guess. Primarily for city riding. Not for Touring.

With safety which is nowhere near to the SMK.
PS I tried and steelbird helmets' shell can easily be pressed with bare hands

Steel bird just launched a helmet with internal speakers for 2199 :-). Looks like it'll do the job.

Re: Helmets

Finally, I fixed Ejeas V6 pro, bluetooth on my SMK twister helmet.

Helmet pads are easily removable and there are povisions for wire, speaker and microphone.

Helmet has rubber bidding which makes it difficult to install clamp, however after cutting required rubber bidding, it fixed well. Looking at profile of helmet shell, I am sure fixing with double sided tape will be very difficult. I have not tested riding as today I am commuting in car. May be will test tomorrow for volume and noise reduction.

Bought it from aliexpress and cost 2100. Received in about 3 weeks using aliexpress standard shipping (Which used singapore post services.)

Sound quality was adequate, clear and crisp when tested in house.
