boss I was only wondering why would someone wear an off-road helmet for on road conditions ?? Can you kindly point out one significant point to avoid wearing a full face helmet !! as I am yet to come to terms with these off road helmets

I have been using on-road ones from Studds and SOL since a long time
So now switched to these offroaders
They definitely are lookers
Depends rather on your choice until an off-road thing does not hinder your visibility like the vega off-road ones.

Hope I dont
Atleast am a sane rider,to prevent that

Now that you have mentioned why you went for these plastics, let me explain you something.
1) We wear helmet for our protection not for others.
2) "Off-road helmets", I hope the name itself is self explanatory
3) No matter if you ride sanely or not, other people on the road are not saint.

P.S : The negatives of these plastics have been discussed to death on this thread, and I really don't want to go into that again

You've just upgraded from one plastic mug to an decaled bucket. Not to let you down and I have no rights whatsoever to comment on an individual's discretion but I can help make that discretion a better one.

Yes they are lookers, yes they cheap, yes they are cool but THEY AREN'T the best when it comes to impact protection. This topic has been debated and the points are tabulated long back on what's the difference between motox and proper full face helmet. Check it out if you have time.

pranav, you can check back quite a few pages back why some senior members and I have quoted the difference between both the helmets.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Will upgrade to a Studds Scorpion or LS2 soon. Couldn't source them, until then,its better wearing these helmets rather than nothing
At my place there is lesser traffic,i mean just 15% wear helmets..and NO SHOP HERE STOCKS ANYTHING ABOVE STUDDS,VEGA OR SUCH SMALL BRANDS.....am wearing much more gears like gloves etc because thats what I learn here at xbhp. I am just 18 and I think its better for me to save some bucks and go for a helmet worth 6-10k bucks later so that I have really something to value
That is my thought process.

So thats the helmet I will be using now. I bought it for 2.2k a year ago.
And I will always be using an offroad helmet 75% of the time..because
1.thats got better airflow
2.i dont ride at higher speeds
3.Sun peak
4.a good tinted visor
Any other differences to point out..except the aerodynamics ??

PS sorry for bad dirty pic. just took it out [emoji14]

Both Sparx and SOL are good helmets. Genuine SparX costs a little more than SOL. If you can wear them both personally then go for which fits the best else, go for SOL it's cheap compared to SparX and is good.
