Don't go by Look, LS2 is better compare to VEGA dude...

[Horror]

I haven't heard much about Cirus helmets. Anybody with user experience or reviews?

[shahbaz63]

Cirus same as LS2 or Cross as far as I saw it, practically.

Well, well, well, finally, BELL!! Can't wait for the pics

You sure CIRUS is made my HJC. I don't think so, can you post a valid reference please. Perhaps HJC might have model in the name, not a separate wing under their brand called CIRUS. From what I reckon, CIRUS must be a separate manufacturer.

Any idea about prices ?

While going to Andheri, I saw A shop

They had Vega helmets and among them 1 was very much good looking.
He said the price is 2330 and 2100 after discount.
He said the model is Vega Cara, but no such helmet is there on internet. I guess it model number is something else.

The look was really good.

People here have been repeating the same thing again and again, use over looks, but that doesn't mean you have to be tasteless, you have very good helmets in all those budget brands and the MID budget ranges which are even more appealing and at the same time, offer the protection one needs.

It doesn't mean VEGA is crap or pricey means protected, it's just a fine line between the both. It's what you discern between both...

Cheers!

I Differ here If you will give me 2k I will buy LS2 Helmet this time, my personal experience is enough & you can trust me with VEGA that it has no great quality... you can bend it with your hand... but if you really want low budget helmet then VEGA is best,

Andho me Qaana Raaja :P

Is tinting a transparent visor with glass tint meant for cars, an option worth considering? Actually I need to get a dark visor for my Airoh Speed fire helmet. My parents suggested to tint it with dark film. Any advice?

NO! And you get my idea as to why i used an all caps NO! It'd be an immature act to use a four wheeler window tint for a visor! Moreover, a tinted visor has many reflective properties which you won't get just by sticking a piece of thin film on your visor. It will hamper your night vision very badly, even worse than a normal tinted visor, if you happen to drive at night, which in itself is not recommended using a tinted one. I would suggest you purchase the visor that comes separately as an add on with different tints.

You can contact Bachoo fellas for more info. Yes, the visors are pretty costly, nothing less under 2k, plus they don't have any add on visor avlbl, they just sell the stock and that's about it, as far as I know. Contact them, and let us know.

For your sake, never use jugaad tricks. It may work temporarily, but in the long run it is not advisable.

Advice taken. thanks! Wouldnt settle now for anything less than original dark visor. Will need to prove my point to parents though. Actually I had contacted Bachoo guys earlier for the visor and was a bit surprised to note its cost, that said even some good quality Vega \LS2 lids come at that price point.

Precisely Imagine next time you buy a visor for your helmet, there are so many wannabes with Vega Dirt helmet at the cost of visor, ripping their bikes.

My Bell RS-1 Emblem Helmet

You all must have seen the earlier pic that I posted for my new Bell Helmet. This is a short review for the same.

Name: Bell RS-1 Emblem
Price: $ 399
Additional: $ 39 for the Black Visor. Helmet ships with a clear visor.
What else in the box: Warranty card (5 years), Helmet cover and a few Bell Stickers.
How did I get it? : My relative from the US got it for me.
Where did I buy it from? : Motorcycle Superstore

First Impressions:

1. The helmet looks pretty compact when compared the the pics that you might have seen on the internet.
2. Fit and Finish are of a high order. No ragged edges and the cheek pads and internal mesh seem to be easy to remove and clean.
3. The visor is an easy affair to remove and fit. I managed to remove the earlier one and put the new one in under a minute.
4. The helmet looks the best with the black visor
5. Double D Ring retaining mechanism with a magnetic trap to hold the strap.
6. Three vents operable via a slide control; one on the chin, one on the forehead and one above that.
7. A mechanism to keep the visor locked on the left side. Proved pretty useful.

I went out for a ride yesterday with this new helmet and checked on the other parameters. My impressions are as below

1. I ordered a size S (55-56). It proved to be a bit tight initially but as the went along it was ok. I think people can order one size larger if they want. This one fits really snug.
2. Ventilation is amazing. Open the vent and you can feel the flow.
3. Visor does not fog up like my KBC
4. Wind noise is present in some patches but at speeds around 150-160, the helmet is pretty silent (more than my KBC).
5. Helmet feels light and can be worn for long durations without feeling the pinch.
6. The graphics make it quite a head turner.

Now the most important question, why Bell? Answer is simple, I always wanted a bell helmet as they make some of the safest helmets in the industry. More so due to the fact that this is SNELL M2010 compliant.

I shall be glad to answer queries on this helmet. Images attached below.
