Nothing can be better than LS2 in that price range. Mumbai xBhpians can help you with sellers.

Led? Or ls2.the two main models stocked are 384 and 350/50.graphics are the main price increasing factor I believe.range starts at 3.1k down south.
However do take a look at Sol helmets if possible.range starts at 4k thou.i feel theyre better quality.they're the ones also famous for built in led stoplights.

Any led helmets recommend

SOL SF-1 / SOL SL68S . Both these models have LED. the SF-1 costs Rs.5400 and SL-68s costs around 5k. The SF-1 has dual visor, but the SL 68s has better ventilation (at least on paper).

Yeah, I noticed it now. Fantastic! Should be of use in foggy/night conditions.

I have been using the SOL SF-1 for the past few weeks now. Have also riden it during a rainy day and at night. It is helpful as everyone notices it and is also an attention grabber. Many people think i have modified my helmet with those LED lights . Not many people are aware that such helmets do exist.

Yup, you can clearly see the button at the bottom of the led panel.3 options while on:full time on and two intermittent speeds.press again and its off.the quality is above what we see on the locally available ls2.like I said, the helmet feels SoliD.

Totally agree. Though i found out yesterday that the SF-1 is heavier than the Ninja that i had been using, but still i dont feel any pressure or heaviness on my neck yet. maybe during crouched ridding it might be a pain.

sol helmets must have been discussed a lot but couldn't help myself from posting pics of this beauty.at 5630inr for plain and 6180 for the graphics variety what are the other options around this price range.i personally think the quality is notch above ls2.price is as well.which other brands are available at this price range with comparable features?internal visor is a boon but can be forgotten for better protection ratings/materials/quality.no cross helmets please.i consider the above prices a ceiling/p-max.same features at lesser price possible?also ls2 384 are not coming with internal visors now.the red button is missing.

Please recheck the cost. I have the same model but the color is black instead of the green. The Spartan Pro Gear website mentions the price for this at Rs.5400 and i got it at the same price from Delhi.

I dont know about other brands but you can get the SOL SL68s at around 5k. It has better ventilation, looks, LED lights minus the dual visor feature.

The LED feature is a boon especially for those who ride more at night, like me. No use if you use it during the day. I was wondering why didnt any Indian Manufacturer brought a model with this feature yet. I dont know of any indian brand that has LED in it.

How do these lights at the back of the SOL helmet work? It was also mentioned on some other helmets, I think Cross, some pages back.

For this model (picture above) the battery compartment is right on the top of the helmet and for operating the LED a small power button has provided with 3 functions.

Re: Studds scorpion

Due to higher taxes in my state is the most probable reason for the variation in price.can't do much about this.

Yes, in Kerala the prices tend to spike up a bit due to taxes, actually getting it from Chennai is the best bet, i hear there are no taxes on helmet there.

Re: Studds scorpion

No wonder the 4950 price there.hey, Sol helmets have 1 year limited warranty.and I understand ls2 does not.

There is no VAT on helmets in TN. However, SPG uses insured logistics which cost Rs.500/- per helmet, so the prices tend to even out. Buying from your local reseller will help since you can size your helmet properly.

Re: Helmets

I got my Cross helmet around 4 years back which was 3k that time. I always keep in helmet lock wherever I park in Bangalore and now 6 months in Hyderabad. No one has attempted to steal it till now

You should try meandering India (::.MEANDERING INDIA.::) . They have good range of helmets like SOL / Dajiya / Nuvo. They are located in Vasant Kunj so it will help. Or else you can try contacting Speedking in Karol Bagh for LS2 models. In your budget you can get more options and if i am guessing their carbon-fibre series is in the range of 10k, not sure though.

The Indian Vega helmets just released DOT certified helmets.says padding is improved.hope it is.I have a spare Vega dualsport(its cool looking no matter what!) helmet that has its posterior padding surface crumbling.this on storing it in a cool, moisture free cupboard.I don't even use it much.don't need to talk about my bro's vega helmet padding which is used constantly.

The design is obviously a rip off but then ls2 helmets don't carry warranties unlike Sol or Vega here.
