    I'd recommend LS2. You can get it for 3500. Go for a bright colour for enhanced visibility. Ensure that its genuine and opt for a clear visor for night riding.

    Cheers

      When requested to prove the authenticity of the claimed ECE certification of their helmets, LS2 and their distributors weren't able to do so, at least in a convincing manner.

      Go through this link and decide what you want to make of it. I personally own an LS2, bought back in early 2013. But I have stopped recommending them to anyone.

      Even if you buy an LS2, make sure you buy a 'genuine' one as there are too many fakes of the 'genuine' ones around. All said and done, 'genuine' LS2s still offer a decent level of protection and are way better than most of the helmets that you see on the Indian streets. Read somewhere recently that a rider was saved by his LS2 when he totalled his brand new D390 in a collision with a bus on a highway.

      For a budget of 4K, you'll get better ones. Wait for folks with more market knowledge to respond

        I went to the dealer of studds. He could not give me my color choice in downtown half face helmet. But on a serious note he had one black color I wore it honestly not at all good. A bit heavy in comparison to vega eclipse. But yes the fit and finish is much better than vega no doubts. I have ordered for this color finally. Let's see by when they can provide me with.
        Till then I am back in my old ryno studds

            There's no way to do it. That's why it is strongly recommended to go ahead with a genuine piece which has a valid supply channel. In any case, these are better than the regular Indian made ones and hence is still preferred. In 4K, MT is the only good choice which has an originality in its availability in our nation.

            It's your choice bro,,

                OT : I still dont understand when people here want to do their own, why they ask us. Even after numerous examples and explanations, people think that their choice is best, why bother in first to post and ask.
                Neither of us here want that others learn the hard way. But at the end of the day, its your money, its your head/face.

                Sorry for being rude

                        How do you say revenge is more for safety and blade more for touring.

                          Revenge is the only model south of 15K available in India, which is SHARP 5 rated, and well blade has a more rounded-off shell with internal sun-visors, making it tourer friendly.

                            as mentioned few ppsts earlier,as long as there is an e9 kinda logo near the chin strap or the visor of the ls2 helmet,its a genuine ece certified helmet,also to double check the authenticity of ece helmet very ece helmet is assigned a code and as long as the code starts with 05 number,its a genuine helmet

                            • For those facing probs with tight fit of online-bought helmets.

                              1). Cut the inner lining of the cheek pads,
                              2). Sponges will be there in 2-3 layers,
                              3). Remove 1 or 2 layers. Usually, 1 is sufficient as it is sponge material. Reduces the tightness greatly.

                              Dats it. Ur good to go!! [emoji3] I did this operation on my SparX S07 helmet!!!
                              Now my helmet's become unbelievably better than before.[emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3]

                              Cut along proper lines & do proper stitching if u don't want any marks later on.[emoji3] [emoji3]
