How is the daijya GFIT D220 in comparison to LS2??

Daijya is bloody heavy helmet, my head just dangles to one side, when I test tried them once in a dealer here. They just had three helmets, and I tried the Carbon helmet in Daijya brand, which is even bloody heavier than the normal Daijya.

Daijya and LS2 are both more or less the same design wise, but the former is tad heavier in my opinion after I wore.

Cheers!

Vijay, Daijya is manufactured by MHR Helmets in China - same as LS2. That's why they're so similar.

Yep, Sunny ji, indeed they are. Prime example are the breath deflector themselves.

is that the reason why ls2 has more premium feel and better fitting than daijya as mhr doesnt want any other product to be better than their own brand?

i really love the design and feel of sol helmets,they have really nice contemporary design,only wish they were a tad lighter,like the ls2 ones

SOLs themselves aren't that light, I agree, but compared to other helmets out there, they are pretty light. Some LS2 models are even lighter than SOL, but most fall in the same ballpark.

Why don't you just extend a thousand bucks more and get yourself a good certified one as opposed to cheap ones. You have Studds Ninja, Studds RHYNO, Studds Scorpion, Cross etc in your price point.

Cheers!

If I extend my budget 1000 bucks more to 2500rs. At this price range can you guys tell what kind of brand helmets will I get?

Hi Everyone,

I bought this helmet from Probiker Pune today for 3k



It has good padding, felt like a really snug fit and while riding, the noise isolation was also pretty good. There are openable vents in the front as well as the top of the helmet. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this. Any questions or comments are welcome!

Its nothing to do with the weight of the helmet. A genuine DOT or ECE helmet will need to pass the impact penetration test for certification, which means that the shell has to have a certain thickness and by default a certain weight of between 1400 to 1800 gms. That is why most genuine certified helmets will fall in this weight class - unless they are made of specialty materials like carbon fibre/Kevlar/composites. Such helmets because of their unique construction are also very expensive. Incidentally, the lightest certified full face helmet in the world as per the list below, the NeXX XR1R is also sold in India - I have one.

See for yourself - Motorcycle Helmet Weights - webBikeWorld

You are used to using helmets that do not meet these certification standards and are therefore lighter. You will obviously feel that the genuine certified ones are heavier. Incidentally, I have an LS2 purchased from Germany two years ago. Let me assure you that it is a totally different item from the so-called "certified" models sold here, many of which I suspect are fake.

This is the FF350 model ( same as the model used by the Phobia/Cartoon graphic ) I think?

You are right on the weight part. WebBike has reviewed numerous helmets and has even rated some third party helmets as the best when it comes to impact protection many a times. That being said, I'd love to see your LS2 from Germany, though I absolutely and have just quoted a reminiscent a few pages back about the same, that almost definitely 40% of them are fake, at least even more in my opinion. Please do post the snaps of it, if you still have it.

And regarding model, it is FF350 indeed, but the graphic is different from Phobia, as they have completely different liveries red, yellow, grey, black matte black etc, but you can expect anything in LS2

Cheers!
