Helmets

[BANDHAV]

Has any one heard of AGIVA helmets?

Not exactly i have heared about these, but i have surely seen one upclose.

Graphicas are pretty zazzy and eyecatchy, comes with a tinted visor, inner padding is okay okay-non removable. Overall quality is not upto mark, AFAIK its priced at somewhere around 1500 INR.

But i seriously doubt it to be another member of chinese brigade.

I have the Boolean as well. The quality is not as good as the AGV-MPA. But i'd say that the flip-up mechanism is better than that on the STUDDS Ninja lids (i.e. in my opinion, don't mean to start a war of words).
Also even though the Boolean fits me just perfcetly it lacks good skull padding with regards to comfort levels. My head starts to ache after just an hour of use due to the exposed impact absorbing foam. It needs to have a little more sponge or some sort of soft padding.
Good luck!

You're right-I used the Studds Ninja for 3 years on my old bike&then got a new Boolean 6 months back. I feel it fits well, except for the part just beside the ears, where its too narrow. My skull also starts to ache after an hour or so of usage. However, the flip-up mechanism&anti-scratch visor are miles ahead of the Ninja. The internal visor is a boon in the city. Need to get a good helmet for touring though.

Did anyone check out the STUDDS Fibreglass helmets available exclusively in Castrol Bike Zones??? for Rs 1700. Graphics are good. Available in Red & Blue colours.

They're good. Antiscratch visor, removable inner (like the GPOne's) comfy but I found that my lower ears got a bit pressed by the padding... they said they can supply visors, plain & tinted and also the inner lining.

I told him to confirm the supply of the material as they are more important than just the helmet!

Looks like a good deal... instead of spending those extra 1-2K on an unknown chinese/korean makes.

PS: I use a GPOne now and my problem is the visors. I have tried helmets of fellow xBhpians - BHP, Vega, GPR and know their facilities, comfort & cost.

Hey the inner padding is removable and washable, inquired the price in my home town its close to 2k. yes graphics is good and eyecatchy, visor tinted and the dealer says indonesian made. Regarding the quality i seriously dont know ....... By the way i have already purchased it some time back.

There are two versions of AGV on sale in the city..

The old version retails for a around 1.8k. The interior linings colours are usually dark blue of various hues, then there's black and grey. The exterior colour schemes are something the shop guys call 'Skipper Blue' and some other tribal colour schemes ( 1. white and Gold 2. Orange and white 3.Orange and Black)

The new version of AGV, retails for 2.3k and upwards... and this one has interior linings of much better quality and is almost similar to that of the Cross or the high end Vega ones ( that retail for 3k). The interior is beige colour last time I checked.. Exterior colour schemes are also brand new..This AGV's quality is much better than the old version. So make sure you're getting the new one for 2.4 k
