Chopra (Karol Bagh, New Delhi) has KBC helmets. There was one matt black being offered at 7000.
What do you feel about it.

well i too was impressed with cross helmets,but when i checked online about them found out that their only website has either been hacked or worse still under construction. also one thing cross doesnt mention about the safety standards their helmets have passed so i was rather worried about putting my head into it also the guy at helmet shop told me that they are "Made in China" thing,so i said to hell with cross, why should not i buy the LS2,check the pics i have uploaded and yes LS2 hav their presence in market check online about them and one more thing my lid cost me 3k. also a thing about nite riding, if u are goin to ride at nite dont purchase a lid with tinted glass or any other thing as its affects ur visibility a lot at nite time, go for a clear visor,my lid came with a dark tint i got it replaced with clear one.i would say go ahead and buy the LS2 that suits your budget...

from which shop did u buy your ls2 helmet,even i am looking to buy one,
even ls2 helmets are made in china,but that doesnt mean their quality is bad,we have this mentality made in china means local,thats not the case,even a sony bravia or a ps3 are made in china,that doesnt stop people from buying them...

Guys, Tamil Nadu has removed VAT on Helmets. Not sure what it means but am I right in assuming that prices on Helmets will be reduced? The imports included?

Found this: "To promote
traffic and industrial safety, the present levy of 5% VAT on helmets will be completely
removed, change will come in effect from April 1."
*Good initiative.

and yes one more thing,i do agree dat things are "made in china",but when it comes to quality company like ls2 has to keep quality so i can trust them about it irrespective about their make or made. about cross its realtievely new entrant in the market and also it does not hav enough online presence to gaurantee their genuineness and certification their helmets offer. so i'm jus saing wen it comes to head why dont we go with the head.ultimately its a matter of personal choice,but who doesnt like to play things safe...

All that is "Made in China" is NOT inferior in quality. Chinese products are like this

You give me 1 paisa - I will give you a product worth 1 paisa quality
You give me 1000 paisa - quality will worth that money.

Many many companies have facilities working out of China. Lenovo, Olympus to name a few.

SparX helmets are manufactured in China - One should look at its quality! (i use one)

my kid plays\ed with remote controlled car "made in china" - totally useless, he played with it one day, parts started falling off. :P
