Helmets

Re: Helmets

Just saw a dealer listing the FF351 for 2400. Too good to be true?

And..
I called him (laxmi) up so that I'm not made to visit the dealer more than once (nana peth is 20km from here) but yeah you have a point with the quote on phone thing.

Ok, so laxmi it is? And which one would you suggest, the 350 or 351?

Many thanks for the replies mate.

The one that fits your perfect, the one that gives you the confidence that if you crash (touchwood) your head would be perfect like new.

Re: Helmets



Of course the fitting bro
Apart from that, could you please tell me the difference between the two apart from design?

EDIT: Talked to the JM road store. He qouted 2750 for the FF351 Diamond. What say Eshan?
And he said I can choose between the clear and mercury visor. As I'll be doing my rides only during day and have a spare for city commute, should I go for the mercury visor?

AFAIK ff 350 and ff 351 are one and the same model,2750 is a decent price,ls2 is retailing for almost 3 k everywhere,banglore being the cheapest option for ls2 2.5k

Are you sure they're one and the same?
And, do you know what an 'air pump' is? An acquaintance who owns an FF350 Combat couldn't explain properly as he didn't have the helmet then.

And I'll try and haggle and get it down to 2.5k. Thanks for your reply.

An air pump equipped helmet enables you to puff-up the padding within the helmet so that:-
1. You get a more snug fit and
2. Wind noise from the air getting from beneath (near the neck-line) gets reduced.

AFAIK, air pump equipped LS2 starts northwards of 3.7k

Go for clear visor, no visor can be used at night though, but tinted ones can obstruct vision during evening time when those small flies are present. Go for clear visor, also the visibility is quite good.

Yes the G-Pump ones are discontinued because if those inflatable pad bursts the helmet becomes useless also other hazards are present which do not support such a system.

@ Yash - Go for usual helmet man, dont confuse your self, clear visor, no G-Pump and design and model are basically one and the same as they end with the benefit called protection of your skull. Wear the helmet and check if you can move or not, rotate the neck as much as possible and see if you are comfortable or not, then only purchase the helmet. Laxmi Auto is authorized dealer, the price quotes is decent.

Has anybody used this helmet?

Please look at the options provided in the down option list also. For the price and features offered, I think Indian manufacturers are getting close to foreign brands. Please guide.

Showing error on the page. Instead, can you copy the URL of the image and paste it, it'd be clear to see which helmet it is.

new LS2 Phobia

Got my LS2 Phobia for 2750 from Lalbagh ... including VAT ...

[yash3339]

Re: Helmets

Got the LS2.. for 2750 too
The clear/transparent visor wasn't in stock.. would've had to wait for a month so took the plunge and got a mercury.

It is the FF350 Cut Throat.







I'm happy with the purchase, the staff at Laxmi Auto seemed to know their stuff and were polite.

Nice color there. You got with the tinted one as stock or clear one or you bought the tinted one too?

Excellent buy there. Usually it's the other way around with visors, but you've gotten the tinted one first as in 90% of the helmets, the clear/transparent comes as stock. That said, use them carefully at night, as they aren't meant for night riding.

Ride safe.
