    Performance Racing Store. KBC VR-1R Turbine Motorcycle Helmets
    Performance Racing Store. Sparx Hornet Helmet

    will be trying bfore buying one but i m in luv with the turbine.... it radiates the 2 love of my life.... riding/racing n aviation
    Try before Buy is good thinking as few of us dont realise what size can actually fit us until and unless we try the product.

    As far as your 2 options you are considering, Sparx is the entry level helmet of KBC Helmets company. It was introduced to be made the top end helmet of the low end market. Sparx is really good in terms of ventilation and you would also get an extra viser from PRS free.

    KBC on the other hand is better in noise reduction and I love the Turbine model. Since I have got the chance to use both I would say go for KBC.

          • Hi man, Paid INR 3200/- in Mumbai for it, got a LS2 branded string drawn bag (nothing too great in my opinion but comes handy when u have to put the helmet in a bag) with it as well

                          Bought my LS2 Big One for 3.7k in Hyderabad this weekend...he quoted 4.5 k initially. This proves helmets in Hyderabad are priced way above average price

                              • I got my LS2 Big One for 2k on the nose no haggling 6 months back, was quoted 2.3k in Mumabi 2 months back for the same helmet, again without haggling.

                                Now to my point, where can I get a full face helmet for a child in India?
                                Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                                More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                                Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                                Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                                Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !
