Re: Helmets
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a helmet which is ECE certified as I've got to know that they maintain more stringent regulation. I seldom ride but when I do its anywhere between 150 to 1500 kms. I have a preference for Modular helmets, never owned one, but after a while of riding with full faced helmets I start to feel drowsy, and when I switch to an open face helmet, I have this paranoia that something bad might happen, and not to mention the difficulty of carrying two helmets. Hence decided to finally get a decent Modular helmet. I have my eye on Spartan's MT Optimus, but is the only one out there? I dont mind going upto 10k, if its more then it should be CF, then I'm fine.
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance,
Ashwin.Motorcycling Experience:
2000 ~ 2017 Y2K Kinetic Zoom (Disposed at 15k)
2011 ~ 2015 Hero Honda Karizma R (Sold at 56.5k)
2013 ~ 2014 Bajaj Discover 100 4G (Sold at 16.5k)
2015 ~ 2017 TVS Wego (Totaled at 18k)
2015 - Bajaj Pulsar 220F (Currently 31k) < Garage Queen!
2017 - Bajaj CT100B (Currently 21k) < 'Golden Quadrilateral' Runner!
The Ride was Good, but Life is short, spend it Wisely!
Adios Comrades!

Re: Helmets
I suggest you go for a full face helmet. Flip up helmets are nowhere as safe as ff. Whenever you fall the hinge might not be able to withstand the impact and the helmet might not be able to save your jaw. Convenience or safety? You decide.Originally posted by ashwinprakas View PostHi everyone,

Oh, believe me when I say this, I'd be safer with a Modular than a full faced one.Originally posted by jRay View PostI suggest you go for a full face helmet.

But speaking about full faced helmets, are SOL and MT worth the moolah? And are there better means to get good helmets in India.Motorcycling Experience:

Re: Helmets
SOL and MT are good helmet makers. I too am getting an MT Blade soon.Originally posted by ashwinprakas View PostOh, believe me when I say this, I'd be safer with a Modular than a full faced one.

Re: Helmets
The blade looks decent and costs 5.6k, does it fog on the inside when riding in rains, and also are consumables easily acquirable?Originally posted by jRay View PostSOL and MT are good helmet makers. I too am getting an MT Blade soon.Motorcycling Experience:

It does have a breath deflector, so that shouldn't be much of an issue. I've heard MT parts are more easily available than LS2Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.

Re: Helmets
Breath deflectors are not that effective when it comes to practical use. I have a trail Helmet without a deflector that doesn't mist up, where as my other Helmet with a deflector mists up real quick.Originally posted by jRay View PostIt does have a breath deflector, so that shouldn't be much of an issue.
