Helmets

[jvh]

Hi guys, i need to buy a helmet for my cbr250r... i've choose 3 models/brands..you guys please help me out to buy the good one.. price wise.. i can go up to 15K for helmet.

Opt 1 : KBC VR-1X Turbine - Rs.8,500 [from performance racing store]
Opt 2 : NUVO SP-2 Union - Rs.5,990 [from PlanetDSG.com]
Opt 3 : AGV K3 Black Celebre8 - Rs.13,800 [Includig Shipping Charges from Dinnis Kirk].

friends, i think it's all one time investment..so i would like to buy a better one within these. dont want to buy again and again.

thanks in advance
Jai

For 15K, I suggest you go for Scorpion EXO 750 or 1000. Its a very under-rated helmet and very very good. I have a 750 and a friend has 1000. Both swear by it. Am not sure of their availability in India, but there are quite a few deals if you are OK with shipping from abroad.

Another great helmet which can be slightly above your budget but way up on the quality and safety aspects would be SHARK RSR2. Again, you will have to import it. I'll be picking up one very soon.

As told by jayant (jvh) go for the Scorpion Exo 750/1000. I have bought one myself and will be getting it soon. Shark is also an excellent helmet but yes it might cross your budget.

Among the 3,definitely the AGV,K series is really good.and if not then KBC or SparX,i recommend SparX.Forget abt NUVO esp, since you have a good budget.

In that case i wouldn't recommend NUVO at all!
Im sorry,its just that i haven't heard much positive feedback's for NUVO and since there are proven and popular helmets with positive feed backs in tht range,why not go for the best?

If you can make it down to Bangalore you could try out these helmets and see what size fits you best. I believe the Turbine (along with the rest of the KBC / Sparx range) & a couple of Nuvo helmets are available in Orion Motors along with a few AGVs. Its good to see you have kept aside this much money for a helmet, just make sure you buy one that is a perfect fit.
