Helmets

[BANDHAV]

^^Dude as i have mentioned earlier i will be buying a new only after increasing my budget by a fair margin.

oops..!! sorry for breaking the flow, can I get some advice on regular helmets.

I need one for my wife...where do I pick up a decent helmet in bangalore (full face). I went to a couple of shops in marathahalli but not much and they were pricey...i want a vega / any_other_recommended_brand.
any other place I can go to where I can get some variety and and assurance that I wont be ripped ?

Thanks,
Beo

Go to Lalbagh Road. Most of the more popular helmet shops are all located around Urvashi Theatre.

No assurance of not being ripped though!

Thanks Prajwal..!
Any particular shops that are recommended? A couple of ppl mentioned Balaji (?) Helmets somewhere around Brigade rd. Is this place good?

What is a recommended brand (my budget is approx 1k +- 300). Any decent helmets available at this price or will I need to increase the budget.

Balaji Helmets is on Lalbagh Road before Urvashi Theatre. He has a good selection, but very recently, he had ripped Pranay off by 2K. I mean, he sold a helmet worth 2300 for 5000, and then after he went back pissed off, that guy reduced and agreed for 3K.

Come a bit further up the road and u'll find a few more. A good helmet might be avble at around 2K at the least.

Yeah dude, tel me about it. Ripped me off real good at first. But then DJ_666 got the same helmet for Rs1500/-

@beowulf: I'd suggest you PM Dj_666 for an idea about helmets around 2K. But if you want to stick to 1K +-300 then i think Vega is a good option.

Balaji Helmets is a cheat. Dont go to him. I brought a Vemar Boomerang 2.5 years back. He promised me visors if i need them. When I went there last year, he was very rude to me. He said if he had promised then he cant fulfil, and I'll have to buy a new helmet.

No point in buying something from a guy who doesnt care if something happens to the product brought from his own shop.

If you buy something from him, buy it at your own risk.

There u go..... 3 very unpleasant reviews about 1 shop. So stay away from there. There are plenty of other shops that u could shop around for competetive prices.

beowulf beware !

There are about 15 shops on Lalbagh Road, near Urvashi theatre.
Most of them have a good collection of lids but prices vary from shop to shop. Check out a similar models in a few shops and then finalize the best deal.
If you need any help in buying the helmet, feel free Pm me.
