    but just for the sake of information, what is wrong with vega, coz i see really a lott of people using it...
    Vega has earned itself a bad reputation because of their low end helmets well, which are basically helmets, but then their longevity and quality had issues, still do. But their new line Vega AXOR is a decent helmet to begin with. Mind you, VEGA is a local brand, and they like other brands are slowly realizing the potential. Brands like Cross, Vega to an extent THH are all either indian or a JV. But if you really want to go away from these helmets, stick with LS2 or SOL both are good helmets.

    Cheers!

        The one in the pics looks like the LS2 FF385, that is the Carbon Fibre model so I assume it should be priced around 11-12k

              So if I read it correctly, I think it's the FF384 range, and this isn't carbon fiber as the carbon fiber is 385 but this could be somewhere near 5k at least for the minimum, but honestly I suck at newer LS2 models as they have oodles of models coming out every month or year which I can't even remember of and sometimes it messes with the models that my memory was adept at before.

              But you have good graphics in the range of 3k LS2 models.

                  Apologies Taahir, got confused. Yes this is the LS2 FF384 Espirit, costs around 4k here in Blore.

                      Hey guys, thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions.
                      I apologize for not able to reply soon, was traveling.

                      chaosaddict; b7ackthorn; Sunnyside_up! you were right, SPG was not responding due to holiday season only.


                      Will upload the pics soon.
                      As reviewed by others fit and finish is better than LS2.
                      Will post a full review soon after trying it for couple of weeks.
                      Brother, would like to know your views on the sf1..

                          What visor does it have at the moment, clear or tinted?

                              To remove dust and grime and fingerprint oils, clean the visor with a soft microfibre cloth and water to avoid scratches. If you have a fingerprint (or scratch) filled visor, you'll face glare. Never use a harsh or coarse cloth with visors as they can cause micro scratches.

                                Try what [MENTION=52772]AK3D[/MENTION] suggested, you shouldn't have glaring on the visor unless there is some kind of dirt on it. I generally use colin and tissues and it works perfectly for me.
