Helmets

Re: Helmets

Bought a new helmet yesterday after 5yrs. It's a Studds Shifter gloss black model without decor.
Build quality is typical Studds and the padding is great as usual.
Features: Anti scratch visor, openable and closable front vents, fixed rear vent, breath deflector (anti fog), removable, washable and replaceable inner liners. Quick screwless visor replacement mechanism. Quick release chin strap.
Also has an inner visor with no separate lever like in Vega Boolean.
Product page link: Studds Accessories Ltd.
My recommendation: A good budget touring helmet at Rs. 2010.

I've bought a Airoh JT which is a half face helmet that my sister uses... It's a small size (also available in a XS if you want) and it fits comfortably in the underseat storage of a TVS Wego... Brilliant helmet, made in Italy, ECE approved, and very light and safe...
But it's costs about ₹7000... What's ur budget?

"Lower the better" can mean diff to diff people na, so provide a price range, and the xbhp community can provide you with suggestions... Also, the less you pay, usually the lower quality helmet. If you take a ECE or DOT approved helmet, cost diff will just add features like ventilation and aero etc... As for ISI, it's the Indian regulatory mark, but the ECE is European and DOT is American, which are both much much better than ISI... Don't worry about trouble from cops, they do not object since its a better quality than ISI...

Re: Helmets

Guys in the quest of buying a new helmet went to Moto 101 didnt know they are closed on tuesdays so went to another dealer of spartan products Rainbow Lining Industries he has a collection of SOL KBC Sparx and MT helmets all in the price of 4890.Is this the price range of these helmets.I have known this shop for past many many years have installed by seat covers tank covers from them for my old bikes since there is a talk of fakes around in markets was a bit skeptical.Anybody been here recently?

I've never been to the place, but I know for a fact that KBC and SPARX helmets start at ₹7-8k... I strongly doubt they are originals if he's selling them that cheap

Re: Helmets

The Mt helmets range axxis comes in the ₹4000 range revenge series 4000-5000 and blade series 5000-6000 I've got myself the axxis limited evo helmet 😊 im totally happy with it (my first helmet) and I wear it everytime I go riding and its saved me from police 6-8 times 😉 Mt helmets have good quality .the axxis and revenge series are based on racing gear style with d straps blade series are crafted for the average tourer .I picked mine from d j helmets Kochi 😊. Always ask for warranty and bill receipt.

Re: Helmets

@deepakshankar @ If you are getting KBC and Sparx in that range, high chance that they would be fake/defected

@KID MONK : Is the helmet only to save you from police? Btw can you explain what is racing gear style and who is an average tourer?

I agree with you... Please don't tell us you wear the helmet to "save you from police" [MENTION=14655]kid[/MENTION]MONK... A helmet is to save you in case of an accident, and to enable you to go home to ur family in one piece; NOT to save you from a ₹100 fine...


I think what meant by "racing gear style", is that it's more aero dynamic, and suitable for a more crouched position for ventilation... And the tourer is for upright riding position... I say this cause I'm aware of the two helmets he speaks of...
But yea, what qualifies as average tourer?

[KID MONK]

To save from police -it was just my personal experience;I bought my helmet the next day after I passed my driver's test and I used it when on my scooter and i did not possess my permanent drivers license and the police were conducting a check-up and when they saw me coming on my scooter they didnt bother to stop me nor another person on his scooter:he was wearing a "plastic bucket" that looked 5-7 years old

The blade series are meant for people with a more round head and also it serves its purpose of commuting and isn't allowed on track because of the ratchet lock

The blade series isnt for people with speed in mind (my opinion) and for around the same price you get the revenge series 5* sharp rating

I bought a helmet (costing ₹4100) not fearing the police mind you but only because of fear of accidents.if I feared police then I myself would have just went for a ₹400 plastic bucket with duplicate ISI mark .i don't like the way police in Kerala stop riders and drivers unnecessarily for no reason at all and pester them even though they possess all necessary documents .😒 not offence 😞

Re: Helmets

@KID MONK : You ride without permanent license??

MT Blade R series - Comes with D ring (as per Spartan site), so it can be worn on track days.
MT Optimus Quest - Doesnt come with D ring, so cant be worn on track.
MY Matrix - Comes with D ring
MT Axxis - Comes with D ring

And all the helmets can be worn for touring. And the speed thing"y" you are saying is known as wind noise. And it depends on person to person whether they are ok with it or not. And it can be curbed using earplugs.

P.S : If I know right every one has round shaped head. I have not seen any human being with square or rectangle head

P.P.S : Replying consecutively is against the forum rules, so edit the first post if you think you want to add anything.

Re: Helmets

First of all I 'rode' without permanent licence for 3 days (Im 18 yrs old and I have adrenaline rush &#128521 second the blade series I saw on d j helmets ,Kochi didnt come with d ring system and they said they haven't had any d ring blade series helmets till now (on 26 November 2014) next what I ment by round was the shape of the helmet . The axxis series I have now is like an i20 after fluidic treatment 😊 its much much more aerodynamic than blade series

Few pages back the supplier of MT helmets had said about the D rings and few without them .
He also mentioned that blade is aimed for tourers and commuters and axis & revenge series are more like track oriented .
