Helmets

[BladeBoy]

Mates, Is there any place at Chennai, Where I can get Cross ? Or genuine LS2's MotoGP editions ?

[sreehari_r1]

Hey! I am planning on buying a similar helmet. Do you have any idea about the cost of these now? And are there any graphic options available in the flip-up models?

4K, 1 year back. No idea about the current price. I have seen models with graphics, which I was not impressed.

thnx dude,

i was looking for something like this only... can you compare its quality with the likes of LS2? how much does it cost??
can anybody tell me if i can buy something similar in hyderabad??

hey! the cross flip up looks sweet!
could u post the price and where in mumbai i might find this ?

now this is what i call helmet man what a peace yaar please give the full details from where it can be bought in Delhi and also what would be the cost of it.
thanks guys do this much for me dear.

can you tell me how much this costed you?

The price was 4K when bought it 1 year back. I haven't used LS2. What I understand is both LS2 and Cross are almost same quality and price. It will be different in different models. It should be available in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi. Most decent helmet shops should be having them. Sorry mate, no idea about the local shops from where you can get it. Please check with any local XBhpian.

My 2 cents :
1. As these helmets are imported, they will be having better design, graphics, quality. Otherwise, Studds Ninja which I have used 8 years back done almost same service.
2. One day while driving, the visor with the flip-up came off from one side. Just collected the parts and screwed them back, need allen keys for that. Also foam inside the helmet and the material is good quality. But was not fitted well (may be for my piece). I have fixed it later. All these were not unexpected, so I am not unhappy.
3. Price of the flip up will be always double, comparing to normal helmets from the same brand.
4. I don't think Cross or LS2 are DOT/Snell approved, even if DOT/Snell stickers will be there in the helmets. Also flip-ups are not recommended by DOT/Snell, due to safety. The DOT standard does not require chin bar testing, but Snell rarely approves any flip-up helmets. May be ECE certified, but not sure.
5. I am using the helmet daily, while using my wife's Activa maximum speed @ 50 KM/H. For serious biking, I am using more reliable and different brand. Mean to say that I don't rely on these helmets for serious biking.

that's a lot of information... thanks... locally there are quite a lot of shops i know of selling LS2, let's see...

also wanted to ask there's this new STUDDS BEAMER??? STUDDS NINJA 3G is a bit expensive over the 2G version. how is that? worth the extra penny over NINJA 2G??? thanks...

[keshavarora]

Which website did you buy this.

i got it from

http://sportbiketrackgear.com/

there are many other good websites for closeouts, like denniskirk.com, mostorcyclegear.com, motorcycleclouseouts.com etc....again none of them sell all brands...hope it helps

[Sunnyside_up!]

my LS2 has dual visors. and a removable/washable lining.
bought for around 5000.




i'll say it.

yes... i have seen "fake" LS2s around. loads of em.

isn't being safe better than feeling comfortable?
compare your helmet with similar ones from different stores.

.

Buddy - I was speaking metaphorically - by 'comfort' I meant feeling safe. I don't feel safe with my 1700/- odd LS2 any longer since I've lost confidence that it is genuine.

4. I don't think Cross or LS2 are DOT/Snell approved, even if DOT/Snell stickers will be there in the helmets.

Actually, as per the official site, original LS2's are certified. The problem is, how do we know which is fake and which is not?

Don't know much about beamer but as seen on the other forum beamer seemed to a ditto same with rhyno except front head vent.I think beamer is rhyno's older(beamer is far older its not new AFIK) export quality.

I too saw 2 to 3 ls2 in bp last time I went there to pick scoyco mc-10 gloves you can find some ls2 s in wellington but the shop guys will charge like anything(bargaining won't help). I stay just 2 minutes away from wellington. I think there is no trace of cross lids in kolkata..
