@Hydbiker

Thanks for the info bro.

So are the LS2 helmets good enough 2 go for quality-wise? (I mean ignoring the higher price that the guy is qouting)

Can u suggest any helmets in the 2-4k range? (light weight, AS/AR visor)

The LS2 seemed good. Better than Cross to feel it. LS2 Helmets - Road, Urban and MX Head Protection

We have a very small range in Hyderabad. Try those shops I listed and see what you find. Then choose.

and have you guys heard about autogreen..can somebody throw some information regarding it.heard its quite cheap compared to others but hows the quality???

AutoGreen & SteelBird are not generally seen in this part fo the country. I see a lot of them in Delhi. Try out and ask few more ppl for opinions.

Any Vega blue-eye helmet owners got plain visors?

@Hydbiker

Hey I too chkd out d link dat u posted earlier.

Btw d site shows Lagarto II price as 135 euros = 8100 as of now

And here they r qouting 4000?

Something fishy? Or d ones they r selling here are taiwan/china made?

But d adventure on d rocks guy is offering a bill & 12 months warranty!

Guys pls advice!!

[HydBiker]

^^^ according to the guy who supplies helmets to Adv OT Rocks, Cross & LS2 helmets are coming via a proper distribution channel in India and they are aggressive.

Don't count the costs in the US or Europe. They are generally expensive due to various factors beyond the scope of discussion here. These guys are getting the helmets directly from the manufacturer in Asia.

@Hydbiker

Ok. Thanx 4 d reply.

I think i will go for the LS2 only.

So the racing accessories shop on minister road is the one who supplies to adv on the rocks, rite?

I will directly go thr n give d reference u told abt.

I asked the adv on the rocks guy for some discount & he agreed....

So i guess i can axpect to get the Lagarto II at minister road for around 3000?

SPARX for me too

Had been to PRS on Saturday. He has KBC, Sparx (thats the one I bought; amazing helmet for 8.5k), HJC, Joe rocket (carbon fiber costing 25+K).

Bachho motors has AGV. He has a cool "AGV K-3 Top sword" helmet for 18K...

Hi Ash
Even i got a SPARX on monday from Vicky
Quite value for money @ 8k
Here it is :


For me, this is the Starter's LID
I am goin for AGV GP TECH 5 CONTINENTS ROSSI REPLICA in the next two months.
Carlitos thanks for sharing the LID experience here
That LID surely rocks

^^ hey bro from whr n how you got that lid ? i am trying for the yellow one ?

[MG]

@Hey Ram - The model that you bought is available for 7-7.5k. But even for that price its a very good buy.Here's my Sparx

Even I got it for 7.5K but later came to know that it was available for 7k elsewhere

[Hey Ram]

@ mg-biker : nice lid

thats a nice lid mg.
I just cheked my billing for the sparx and that i got a overall 10 percent off for the total bill.. Lol, so now sparx landed cost is 7.2k ....
But yes i did like it at one go and din have time lookin for some more dealers, so paid a wee bit more.
But now onwards, wud do some more R&D and then buy my gear.
Thanks for sharung that pic.

Hey guys,
Narrowed down my list of helmets to MPA Flash, Studds Rhyno and Aaron Ace. The MPA is 1.5k Studds Rhyno is 1.2k and Ace (??).

All three are quite popular and got vents and stuff. Within my budget (Actually dont know how much the Ace costs, some one please shed some light on it).

Which one would you guys suggest?

As always advance thanks.

Hey guys.. A little help here...

[sheelpriye]

Is Sparx snell approved or just DOT approved?

[thefalcon]

Hey guys.. A little help here...

MPA flash seems to have a good ventilation system and i noticed that its exactly same as AGV with a 1k lesser price tag..
If you get it with a tinted visor, go for it..

Consider vega boolean too. one with graphics is 1.6k and without about 1.4k i guess.
I use it everyday, nice helmet, bit heavy though. 1.7kgs

I've not really seen the other 2 helmets to comment though..
