Re: Helmets

My AIROH GP500 spare visor costed 4.2k for a tinted one, but just didn't go for it. I mean I can buy a top model LS2 or SOL with that money.

You have really pointed out a great factor. Indeed, what most of us miss to figure out when buying any product is the cost of spares/replacements as well as the easy availability.

The cost of buying is just one thing while the cost of maintenance is entirely another.

Re: Helmets

Its actually the other way round, SPG works with Sunny

I think you should drop a PM to Sunny sir indicating your e-mail address ............. and be well assured that you will receive a prompt reply from SPG in case it was missed ...........

and Don't worry about him working at SPG, for now you should only know that he is absolutely the man from whom you should seek help from in relation to SPG

Sure thing.. Thanks!

How is SteelBird's Adonis Helmet?

Steelbird helmets are pretty good. And the ADONIS's shell is quite strong and doesn't mend that easily as other helmets. Though it's shape is completely a "weido" one for me personally. But the cheekpads are where it lets one down, not that upto the mark. But for lower end of the spectrum helmet, it's okay.

Re: Helmets

@B7ACKTHORN : Want to add something. That helmet makes the back of your head just above the neck vulnerable as its completely open, secondly the chin area of the helmet is pure plastic which can break at the slightest impact and it might pierce through face. Honestly I would suggest everyone to stay away from these plastics and save some more and get a decent one atleast.

Absolutely, prateek. The front end is little clumsy. The rear and sides are pretty okay, and the cheekpads aren't that good to begin with and moreover personally, the design is a big let down for me. But often I've seen them a lot on roads and happen to check them years back and it's getting quite a good following, wonder why and how.

If you notice, it gives you an 'urban ninja' kinda look. The fan following maybe due to this.., my guess

Half helmets are never safe, however costly they might be. Get yourself a decent full face helmet.

You want helmet in 2k range or 20k range? Giving the price limit will help others to guide you and yes do go through the last few pages, we have discussed which helmet numerous times here.

P.S : To people who wear half face helmet -- I hope this pic makes it clear why people prefer full face helmets

The point here was to discuss whether the steelbird helmet is strong enough for Indian standards or no,of course DOT/ECE/SNELL helmets are way stronger and not everybody can afford them.and of course steelbird also test the helmet for safety in machines as well,this was just a surprise check to ensure the quality is alright for Indian standards,Now one can`t start complaining or differentiating of how MARUTI test their cars for safety and how MERCEDES BENZ test their cars.
