[Dagger]

A container with new shipment of SOL Helmets arrived this afternoon in Chennai at the Spartan ProGear store - saw a new one - the SOL 68sII Metal Man Blue - awesome!

Stocks should be in resellers outlets by next week!

I have R15 v2 White LE.I'm confused between SOL Dragon and SOL unicorn.Can you guys please suggest which one should i go for?

I am having the R15 V1 LE and I had zeroed in on the SOL 48S YF Design Red white but still haven't got it.

Can anyone tell me how I can check if the helmet is still good after a small drop?

My 1 month old helmet has been dropped twice from a height of around 3/4 feet.
Would it still provide adequate protection or does it have to be replaced.

^^ Looks effin hawt!

How much is the damage to the pocket for one of those?

PS: When you say light, how light is this exactly?

Mine weighs in at 1315 gms in XL size with the leather covering - amazing for an ECE/DOT product! The weight distribution is also very good - you keep feeling that you're not wearing a helmet since the eye-port is so large and the helmet so light - totally unrestricted.

Looks hawt! I liked the ones without leather coat on it... and its nicely priced too!

Yep! I like 'em too! Many of the N650R guys have it, including our local super-hero, Xinfii! Where is he by the way?

Technically you should - but many people would not. Considering it's your head and your money - the best judge would be you!

By the way, TWICE in a month? Butterfingers!

@ Harsha - Great looking lid.

thank u

Harsha, It sure looks hot. I am very fond of Monster decals to be honest hence, I am little biased towards it

bang on!!! who doesnt love the monster decals man i liked them so much that once i got big size monster energy decals and put it on the fairings on ninja

I have wore HJC Dagger long time back owned by one of friends. Only thing I disliked was the movement of visor. It feels tight when you lift it up and it is not as comfortable as I expected. Having said that, it was a base model so how is it in your lid as it is for an higher range?
the visor movement is more or less the same what you have experience,but it didnt find it uncomfortable

Also noticed in your close up pics that it looks to be Matt finished (Looks neat) and are the Monster graphics actually stickers or is it painted? Just out of curiosity
it looks like a matt finish but it isnt exactly a matt one,its somewhere between matt and gloss black

they arent stickers

Two stunning lids!! One vivid and other stealthy! Now I'm thinking of hiking my budget again

@Harsha- My Comment in bold above. How much did you splurge on Mr. Spies again?
[B]

i posted the split-up price of the helmet few pages back.
in total it costed me 27k!!

i didnt do 200kmph on ninja.

replies in bold

Excellent looking lid man. I use the SparX Hornet Special Edition and it's bloody noisy but fit and finish is amazing. I guess i'll buy a new lid sometime next year since the SparX is also my daily use helmet for office commutes.

P.S. The 200kmph test was performed in the Vento or on the ninja?

Just kidding man.

thank you adi
i find sparx helmets to be vfm!
i totally love the rebel edition of sparx helmet but couldnt find that one(out of stock in most of the stores!!)

hehe lol
i could do 200kmph on a ninja only after swapping the engine of a zx-6r

P.S:btw thats jetta which is in the pic,not a vento

AWESOME lid! Which model and how much? Available at PRS?

its HJC RPS-10 BENSPIES REPILCA(MOSTER ENERGY)
the last time i saw it is being sold for 35k at PRS!

@harsha :-
The lid is superhot bro.. Looks cool, Congrats.
Little OT - I also liked the pic :- the backdrop and the way its clicked

thank you very much
all the credit goes to the photographer!!

[theironhorse99]

Guys ... how are CROSS HELMETS ???

There are lots of fakes around on LS2, Cross, MPA and Vega. One thing to notice is the finish. Just make sure you're satisfied with the quality of the product before you buy. If you haven't had any idea of buying a helmet, try getting help from an experienced guy who has some knowledge on helmets.

When buying a helmet, always check for the inner stuff, visor mechanism, fabric quality, stitch and check for any loose padding mechanism on the side. Most of the time, they are stuck with cheap and/or inadequate glue, whereby just remove the cheekpads once, the entire cheek pad with the side holders come off.

That's great info mate.

Cross are of decent make and quality, don't expect much out of that. It's the best poor-man's helmet, to put it wise.

Cheers!

ok, thanks, any other members. has anybody used it?

what certifications it has ?

guys, its website is total crap. or am i looking at wrong website.

if it is equivalent to LS2, then good.

well, then... i am that poor man now. yesterday i purchased a cross helmet. actually i wanted a replacement of my existing helmet (old ninja flip-up) and i wanted to go for either Ninja 3G or Vega Boolean, both flip -up helmets with-in rs. 2000/=. unfortunately after doing servicing of my bike for whole day, i was too tired to search other places and yesterday being a sunday, i went straight to Champion Sports. unfortunately, they didn't had a ninja 3G or vega boolena in my size, even LS2 was not available in my size only Cross was available. i got it for rupees 2500/=.

I've never used it, one of my buddies use it, a white colored one. Regarding certification I've never seen a valid certification on any of the Cross helmets I've seen. I would place it well below LS2 for sure.

Cheers!

I am using Cross and LS2 both currently, the LS2 which i got is quiet good and a bit on bulky size, the new ones are light weight but the inner pads and quality of outer shell is quiet weak, so be careful but LS2 visor is quiet good specially in pune city where 90% people keep high beam.

Cross is quiet rugged and light weight in quality and i got mine for 2700/- with the air pump feature and is quiet good in quality, got from authorised wholeseller of cross and ls2 authorised wholeseller near nanapeth. As this guy supplies LS2 and cross to all vendors in pune and mumbai so rates are a bit less than other dealers at mg road and other places.
