guys ... i have a budget of 2k and am looking for a good looking and light helmet which can protect my head well.
info: i do only city driving(at max would go upto 100kmph).
Couldnt find any good branded helmet within my budget in this thread...other than the vega boolean..
I have a doubt on the boolean...Since i wear spectacles, will it be a comfortable fit when using the inner visors?
Also suggest if any other helmet fits my requirements..
any preferred dealers in hyderabad ?
PS: i will be using this lid on a orange apache rtr fi(planning to buy within 2 weeks)

Sounds crazy? Yep! spending another 5K sounds crazier to me!

BTW IMO, You should get that helmet replaced if you think it had a bad bounce... remember one thing... when you are using a damaged helmet, it can cause more damage than it can probably help.... say for example if you had a small crack, or some chipping in the padding, it would mean that in the event of a crash that bit of area will not be safe enough and may react to the impact in a very different manner...
literally speaking... A chink in the armour!

(you said cheap, I changed it to new)
Now you have choices
1) that you buy a cheap one or
2) a costly one, dont know where that came up with. All I suggested was to buy a good one if you feel the need.
3) You dont buy one and stick to it.... which I said is a risky proposition the way you said the damage was done. BTW The assurance of safety is as important as probably wearing the helmet!
Oh and I exactly understood what you meant sir, but then would you buy cheap ones with holes in it? I guess no...
While we can do a full length discussion on economics, pricing, quality and the perceived quality on this topic (lucky for me I have my marketing strategy exams today, so would mean cheap revision) but that is really not the topic of the thread..

Yups makes sense... thats what I said as well, if you feel that it had a very bad bump then replace!
I wasnt really aware about the xRay thingy, pretty much news to me!

In that price range vega boolyn was the best bet but as you said that it could pose a problem while using in open face mode its out of equation.
I will suggest you better go for full face helmet, you can go for the GP One or the AGV. You may have to increas your budget by Rs. 100-200.

I have a question for people wearing spects and using full face helmets. Currently I use a half face one but want to change it to a full face soon. But wearing a full face helmet with spects seem to be like pretty uncomfortable to me. Am thinking of buying a Daijya. So want to ask you guys about your views on this.

Daijya has a very "close" sporty fit. Used to wear my glares with it but after a while they'd press too tight against the skin.. I suspect you would find most full face helmets to do that tho.
Generally speaking im really tired of the Daijya. The weight of the helmet is a bit too much for me. Looking to get rid of mine... is there even a market for resale of helmets?? LOL!

Just try and get glasses with shorter arms if possible, they're more comfortable while using under a helmet.

In the budget, how much does the lineup from AGV-MPA begin at?
Originally posted by Absoluthavoc View PostThese are the same (original ?? ) helmets BANDHAV is talking about?? where do you get them in mumbai? I've seen the AGV's being sold @ Grant Road in shops near Premji's but i dont know if they are originals?
Maybe slightly more expsensive than overseas pricing, but they would be your best bet, whilst at the store ask for Zulfi.
