Bought Daijya Samurai Graphite. It's not matte finish. Graphite is the name because it's not black in colour. I am sooooo loving it It's a gift from my wife (I choose it ). Thanks wifey.

Will share pics taken from all angle.
Initial feeling: Quite light in comparison to the Indian AGV I have been using. Quite ventilated actually!! It's quite tight too. XL size. One of the reason which attracted me to Daijya over Nuvo is the DVS feature. It has an inside retractable tinted visor (like HUD in fighter pilot's helmets ) & the outer one is plain. Now, Nuvo has all tinted visor. While tinted visor is boon in Indian summers but at night, it gets quite unsafe, particularly when you have high beam lights in front of you which makes surrounding more dark in case of tinted visor.

Bought it from Meandering India, Masood pur, near Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, Rajiv, dealer of DSG.
Attached DSG site picture.

Thanks saar... graduating gradually. Ninja 1st gen, Yohe, Indian AGV & now Daijya.

How do I take care of the visor? I mean cleaning it in the nooks & corners. Rajiv has told me not to wipe dry. It will scratch the anti scratch coating. In manual, its written that one should wipe the visor with cloth dipped in mild soap water & then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Can I use the orange color cloth available for dusting? I know it produces lints but is there any other option?

Well cleaning all the nooks and corners can be quite a tricky deal!! I generally un-screw my helmet's visor and then use camoise leather or simply news paper with Coline. That orange color cloth, well as you said it lints... and therefore there's a high chance of scratching the visor.

Wet tissue paper gets the job done too. Also, avoid circular motions. Always clean it one way only. I prefer doing it across the visor -horizontally.

I missed your post man... well, to unscew AGV is great coz it doesn't have any screw, springs. It has plastic grooves created. Best system, as per me. The Daijya's visor has springs, man. That's bit cumbersome to screw & unscrew & fear of loosing springs too. Well, I made one of my YOHE helmet inundated

Camoise leather!!! hmmm the one which is used to clean camera lenses too!

Is there anyway to protect helmet from sweat during summers and also to protect hair (no hankerchiefs ) ??

Balanclava..

Balanclava..

Correct except it's Balacalava Don't forget to wash the Balacalava itself often. Also, most of the helmets have removable pads, especially the cheek pads. You should wash them too.

I use an under-helmet cap which came free with my Vega Helmet on days when I have to get a haircut (which is not very often ). That can also be used to save helmet from sweat.

Looks somewhat like a beanie, have a look:
