SOL's are way costlier than LS2 .
While LS2 starts at 2.5k SOL starts at 5k i think.

Go for LS2. Else you will end up buying Studds @800 then after a year you will anyhow buy LS2 and waste 800

Don't mean to offend you but thats NOT what you said bro.
Being a student from a middle class background I take tutions for pocket money (as most of like me may/must do) I am a little concerned with my budget,coz I don't want my father to meet all my demands.
I had a hobby of collecting/purchasing the products which I like not just for looks but which also serves me a purpose well. Currently I use a Vega Motocross which is still in almost new like condition even after 1.5 years but want a much better helmet after reading that how much better safety does this better products provide. I keep patience & don't act like "ANGOOR KHATTE HAIN".

No I didn't pointed anyone but just tried to clear myself on your comment if read with different point of views, thats why I mentioned that I don't mean to offend you. Sorry if you took it otherwise.
YES definitely the feeling is just awesome .

Actually the trend of matching helmets colour to the colour of the bike is a little old-fashioned and passe. Contrast colours and themes seem to be the new trend abroad.

On my frequent trips abroad, I've noticed that solid colours are popular with the older and more seasoned riders, while funky graphics and colours are the rage with younger sports-bikers, with extreme contrasts and colour mismatches most noticeable on street bikes and the tracks.

No problem brother. It's all fine.
SOL will be more costly than LS2.
And when it comes to head gear, going for the best is advisable.

@ Abhisek

SOL helmets are now available at BP Roadies shop in Shyambazar. Head down there and meet the owner Bunty, he will help you chose your helmet according to your budget.

[danielmanickaraj]

Good for you isn't it?

Ya man.. good for me..

Quite heavy to carry? I don't get the point; have you compared with LS2 or Vega? SOL's are noticeably lighter

nope.. i've never checked the weight of LS2 and Vega... I've been using some local helmets wit ISI mark till date..

Have made some comments on this in another thread - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...tml#post853561

Akshay is absolutely correct in theory. However, as many of us know, in India the rule is often the exception and chaos rules! Read the other post also and make your purchase decisions with a better prepared and tempered mind.
