Hi guys,
Can anyone suggest me a good place to buy helmets in Pune.I`ve recently shifted here.I was passing J.M. road of Pune and saw an automobile shop besides adidas showroom.Name was some laxmi auto or something.I went there to buy a spare for my cbz and to my surprise he turned out to be an authorised dealer of Cross and Studds helmets.He showed me the certificates as well.He`s an wholesaler of helmets running a spare parts business.
But he didnt have the helmets on display.He was showing them one by one from the box .He told me to wait for a week as in his one section of the shop he was starting an exclusive helmet showroom where he`ll display all brands of helmets and more of cross helmets.He was quoting me some 1600rs for a cross half helmet.he said he`ll have helmets from 350rs till 12500 rs..
I`ll wait for a week to c what helmets he has on display,In the meantime can u suggest me a few other good stores where they have helmets on display

@ adi231189 - The high end vega helmets actually doesnt have a certification. If you carefully see, there will be a sticker stuck on the back side or some times there wont be one.

Even V for Vega is not an US company. The helmets are made in China. LOL.

Check here Background to Vega motorcycle helmets

@ Samyaza - Only a couple of companies actually do the R&D themselves. Rest of the companies actually buy the helmets from manufactures and brand it under them. Ex- the new Vega/studds/Cross etc etc. Basically all these helmets are manufactured in China. Even HJC,Scorpion and KBC Lids are manufactured only in China. Now how good is that to hear.

The Basic shell design will be the same except for the materials used and the detailing and designs.

If there is a requirement of say 100 KBC/HJC/Scorpion helmets, we can buy them whole sale from manufactures for lesser than best close out deals. (even during a close out deals, the stores make profit)

Say a 30 dollar helmet when end up in an online super stores, it is sold for 200 $. This is not only in Lids, for all the manufacturing items. The manufacturing policy of China is to have 1$ profit and sell 1000 quantities rather than having 10$ profit and sell 100 quantities. This is why the world is running after them for manufacturing.

I feel its just the R&D which counts.The place of manufacturing doesnt mean cheap quality
now a bravia lcd tv which costs rs 3 lakhs is made in china.That doesnt mean its a cheap built.Likewise with nike adidas,many shoes have made in china witten on it and the shoes retail anything between 5k to 10 k.SO just coz of made in china tag one should stop buying them?

first of all, use of punctuation symbols would have made understand your post much quicker!

vega corah is an option; its full face and around 1k.
studds rhyno is good too i guess.
you said not going for flip-ups, else ninja 2g or 3g are good, with very good padding quality.
(btw, removable padding is not an option/feature which many people can make good use of)

My custom helmet

Got bored with the 'graphic' helmets on offer and with no AGV backing me to create a special-edition for me - I decided to 'pen' my own stuff.

Bought an AGV-white, 4 permanent markers >>> my own limited edition (of course it took me almost a year to tatoo my own experiences)

"oh darling, here i come..."




"I am the Creative - Head of helmets.."


ps: Pls dont ask what the designs mean - some are 'cryptic'. So that in 2101AD when archeologists/excavators dig my helmet out - they ll have some work to do.

[adi231189]

Though i don't have a big face and really don't want a big lid or egg shaped one looks awful and when i actually remove the lid my Hair is pointing to the Heaven as though i have been electrocuted. Any way Will check it up cross at 2.2k is really tempting.Lets see most probably will get studds to get gloves as well. Chopra has probiking gloves right? what is the cost 600 or more?
