Helmets

[binga]

Availabilty of decent helmets in Chandigarh? Checked Helmet shopee in Sec-21, shop offers Vega, Steelbird, Studds and few other brands. Tried scorpion range, somehow didn't fit well.Steelbird model did fit well. I am impressed.
But somehow It didn't impress me enough.

I tried Auto queen, they were having only two pieces of 48s, yellow-white and blue-white. I am looking for red white as I am having R15 LE. I have asked my friend in Chennai to check if it is available there. If that also fails, I will go for Plan B.

Finally went for Plan B as currently there is no YF red white in stock. Got a Cross Split Red white for 2.5K. Was kind of an impulsive purchase. Haven't used it yet. Fit is good, but looks a bit bulky. Weight mentioned is 1350
+/-50 grams. I am skeptical about the ECE certification though as it is the same "sticker" as in LS2 helmets. Came with a tinted visor, but changed it to clear.
Also checked out Vega Shadow red white, but it was in M size and weighs 1500+. It was priced at 2.4 k. It also had the ECE "sticker".

Does anyone know if there are any helmet stores in Hyderabad that stock LS2 models? I'm not too sure of my size so I'd prefer purchasing a helmet in person.

Many thanks in advance.

Biking Terminal, opp Shell Petrol Pump on Raj Bhavan Road. Tell him Sarvajit's name or my name (Sasi).

IMO, the ones at Abids quote very high. The LS2 Dragon was for 2800 at Biking Terminal and was quoted for 4200 at Abids.

Sol Helmet !

Hi,

I bought a SOL flat black helmet from spartan progear (ECR, chennai) for my cbr 150R...

as per the website, the price is 4200..i ordered the same with sparton progear.. he said it will take one weeks time.. after a week, when i went get the helmet, there was a small damage (for me, its not a damage at al )... But the guy reduced 500 for it and i bought the helmet for 3700...

Helmet is quite heavy to carry. but while riding, its not weighing much... so far expeirience is good with the helmet...

Looks like, I won't get any good options in Chandigarh. Will head to Delhi to buy Helmet. Please guide me to shops, where I can find good helmets. Budget is around 5k.

Does the DETACHABLE mean it can completely be taken apart, or we can just put it on top of the head like a sunglass??

They can be take apart the lower portion but the overall look might not pleasing.

Also we can just put it on top of the head.

I have a Studds Ninja (8 yr old now). the only problem with this helmet is that if you constantly move the lower portion up and down it results in scratches at the sides.

I do not know if this problem has been rectified in the new versions.
