Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

Does anyone know a place where one can get a good motorcycling helmet for kids in India? Size 510-520mm to be precise, I think its an XXS or XS size.

SPG stocks XS for youth in NEXX TriComposites because of very lightweight. Pricey though at abt Rs.10k., since these were brought in for youngsters on track and karts.

EDIT : Sorry, it slipped my mind to ask - is it for a boy or girl? If for a girl, SPG also stocks SOL in Youth Small (about 52cms) with girly graphics. About Rs.3k or thereabouts. Send a mail to the HelpDesk - [email protected] for details.

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

That's why I've advised you, always deal with the main guys, so that they are fast at shipping. It's not to diss out the local resellers, but just give them some time, perhaps they are working on it. BACHOO MOTORS usually ship the stuff in the same day from the numerous stuffs I bought from them, shipping is excellent from BACHOO. Don't know about these local resellers.

But just give it a day or two, and see what happens. But keep pestering Champion Motors. They will eventually ship and they've got to, but there should be some problem on their side where it's getting delayed.

Give it a day or two. PEACE. I know how it feels waiting for the thing you love, but I don't wanna be an overkill more.

Cheers!

Yah Bro i dont have prob in waiting but the thing is that when i called to Bachoo Motors yesterday night and described him the incident he was telling me that Champion Motors doesn't have dealership to sell Airoh helmets ! and i was shocked and now am in a worry that is he going to send me a hoax Airoh helmet .

Am thinking of sending back the courier back to him and ask him to refund back the money.

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

True that.. Nice deal for 1.75k. I have a colleague of mine using the same helmet with the graphics shown in the video (Axor Skull RIP) and he got it for 1.8k. The shell indeed is pretty good : hard, as compared to other Vega models and the comfort / ventilation also is good. And its having kinda rubber matt finish which I liked a lot..

Yup that's true and it's simply awesome, for that price it's a very good deal and I too liked the finish of it. . . Those who have budget in that range, can go for it, it's the best. . .

A helmet is something which is meant to be used outdoors to test and justify its status as "BEST" or "VFM" ................ I hope you have rode enough miles on a stretch to make that "BEST" recommendation to any fellow member on this public platform.

By the way, we all are still waiting for your thorough inside-out review of your latest possession on this thread. I hope you will come back with an impartial justification.

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

On Bachoo's website, Champion Motors are just authorised for the LV exhausts, not the Airoh. Did you check the site before ordering? Velavan is authorised reseller for Airoh from Chennai, you should have probably ordered from them. Where do you stay? Am asking because if you are getting it to be couriered anywa, you could have ordered directly from Bachoo as suggested by B7ACKTHORN.

But no issues, I guess. Champion though legally just authorised for LV, might be sourcing from Velavan, taking a little commission and selling. So, the delay may be for that. If there is a stock problem, you will probably have to wait longer. Anyway, I think you should get it so don't worry. And commission or not, I don't think you have lost anything on price.

Yah i have checked Bachoo Motors site before calling Champion Motors , Just for an inquiry i have called up Champion Motors and asked do they sell Airoh too and that dealer said Yes of course.

and even i have inquired from Velvan too and the size which i need is not available with them, So that is y am doubting lil bit reg the helmet which he ll be sending me.

ya I have been riding it and at that pricing, it's a great helmet, not comparing with other helmets above that range or to LS2 but those who are looking a buy around 2k, it's a best deal. . . Other than that one can see Studds and yes, will bring out more pictures with the cheek pads removed and for a rider like me who never used to wear a helmet before and also whenever used to wear, used to wear a cheap helmet, I think this is better to start. . .

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

I dont understand how can people here term a helmet as "best" when they are not comparing that to any other helmet. They need to understand that a single word can give a sentence a different meaning.
I personally have used Vega Formula HP, LS2 (old heavy model), SOL, Iicon and AGV-K3 and yes now I can term that IICON and K3 were the "best" amongst those that "I" have used , SOL comes next due to its ventilation, next LS2 due to its snug fit and vfm when I bought it and last goes to Vega as it worked good for first few months and then I would be happy to term it as "plastic bucket".

PERIOD

[Rakesh Rok]

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

@prateek2210 I am not comparing this to any helmets like LS2 or SOL and then saying it is best over them as I have clearly mentioned above, "those who are looking a buy around 2k, it's a best deal" other than Studds. . . BTW this "Axor" is totally different compared to other helmets like Boolean or Cava in the same brand. . . For those who have a limited budget can go for this, not everyone can afford a SOL or other big brands here, not at least as their first helmet. . . I hope you got the answers. . .

Cheers!!!

Since you have been riding enough, I hope you will address separate reviews about the comfort level, noise level etc that you had realized while driving in city and on highways as you come up with a review.

not comparing with other helmets above that range or to LS2 but those who are looking a buy around 2k, it's a best deal. . .

When somebody says a budget of 2k, there is always a factor of some "+ or -" and then LS2 (generally Phobia) has been reported on this thread by fellow members to start from 2.3 k .......... and so it surely falls in the comparison, though at the upper end of pricing.

Other than that one can see Studds

If possible do put a few pictures of Studds (the model about which you are talking) when you turn up with your illustrated review/comparison (I remember you have a friend who owns a helmet shop, and I guess he may not be having any problem to help you click a few pics of the Studds ). Please let us know if you have got a bargain on a VAT Bill. Further more, your friend can also provide you a price estimate of a replacement visor, cheek pad etc (just to ensure the completeness of your review).

will bring out more pictures with the cheek pads removed

surely we are waiting for that. and kindly enlighten us on the weight segment too in the comparo.

for a rider like me who never used to wear a helmet before and also whenever used to wear, used to wear a cheap helmet, I think this is better to start. . .

that is a complete nonsense reasoning you have provided.


I hope reading and replying to your last post has helped me to conclude that your review will be most likely in between

Vega Axor Vs Studds (that you had indicated) Vs LS2 Phobia (most probably)

The XS probably would have been the best choice, But to be frank 10k is well out of my budget at the moment.

The helmet is for my daughter, I'm taking her pillion with me on the bike to school and back and almost every day. And great news if I can get the SOL in that size, would be a perfect fit for her. I'll get in touch with Spratan Pro Gear and check. Thank you so much for helping me out

If you look closely, even in Bachoo Motors' website they've clearly mentioned Champion Motors and it's contradictory to see both of BACHOO Motors not affirming the same. There must be some issues between both the dealers, but let's not delve into it, as no one clearly knows what exactly is the reason Bachoo folks came with that answer.

But I'd suggest you to get your money refunded in all cases if you have any doubt. Though he (Champion Motors) might have had the stock and the renewal didn't go smooth etc etc, as I said various reasons.

Ask for a refund, and get the helmet directly from Bachoo.

Cheers!

No Bro, Bachoo Motors never supplied Airoh Helmets to Champion Motors it-seems Bachoo Motors person told me and even those LV Exhausts they have sent only 1 slot it-seems

THIS IS WAT HAPPENED TODAY :-

Yesterday Champion Motors guys told me he ll deposit money today in my account and he bluffed me again saying that he put my money into my bank account and when i asked him for reference no he said y are u asking questions like a Lawyer and he cut the call and i got irritated and posted about the same at CBR 250R International Club group in FB and there his son is also a member and he called him and told that i have posted it in FB and then he called me and threatened that he wont give my money as i have posted bad about him in FB and then i called Zulfi and reported the same and Zulfi talked with him and made him agree to refund my money back and then i have sent my friend to collect the money.

The way Champion Motors guy spoke to me was literally bad he was using foul language and pretending that he knows Chitambaram and other politicians and he ll put me in jail if i write again any where in internet and as i have to get my money back i was listening quietly to what ever he was speaking but i never expected this kind of thing from a Sardar and that too a Automobile shop owner

Zulfi then messaged me asking for my address to ship the helmet and he asked me to pay money later and immediately dispatched the Airoh Helmet and sent me the tracking no and i will be getting it on Monday. Am very thankful to Bachoo Motors for solving this issue and helping me in getting my money back .

good for you mate.. be happy that you are atleast getting your helmet..
and this should also give you a lesson.. don't buy costly things online.. there's always some amount of risk..

as for the other person, he sure doesn't have any decency now its become a common thing.. they know that your money is on the line and because of that reason you won't say back.. people tend to exploit you at such times..
now leave that behind and just thank God for not getting robbed ..
