Helmets

Re: Helmets

Tell you what, don't go for something that's simply pricey Vishnu. From the posts you've quoted, it's so disappointing to see, you're so over to get the costliest stuff possible. To keep it simple. Of course I understand everyone wants their first helmet to be kick ass one, but if you're into pure decals, you can try SparX, LS2 and SOL though the former and the latter has good decal designs and at an affordable price and best of all, in case anything bad happens ( just in case warranty) these guys are near and dear to get it replaced.

Cheers!

Bro, actually its nit my first lid, im planning my 5th one. My first one was Vega Boolean 4 years back, then bought vega motocross aswell, then bought ls2 phobia and now ended up in my second ls2 supra.
Im planning to give this lid to little brother and buy a new one. Actually, if I buy a premium lid, the I don't want to compramise on safety, thats my principle.
I think airoh is a better option than sparx.
Whats ur opinion. ....?

You spend too much bro, it is available here for 3.5k and in kerala lids are not that easily available, so in a town like hyderabad, u could get it for 3k.
And the color sceme ( black nd silver) is readely available
And a bad news, the air pump won't last long..its my 2nd supra and ive seen so many supras with damagaed air pump. The pump won't come with warranty

Nope, plz don't assume things from where you are sitting. These are the rates in Hyderabad, 3.5 to 4K for LS2s

I don't care about the pump

If that's the case, the its a good buy. I've been uaing supra for more than 1 year and is satisfied with the quality. Never crash tested it though.

Airoh is indeed better than sparx. The brand has proved it's worth. Vijay himself uses a top line airoh product and even many in our Kerala group ,vishnu. Amith has a top end one, alister, tony and a few others too. Even I was considering airoh or hjc over sparx. But the availability of spares, like padding and visors were a major concern. Airoh has non-removable pads i think.

IMO you have paid too much for this. Supra and models with air pump are available here in Delhi in 3-3.5k range. Anyways the pump is an important part of the helmet that helps in snug fit of the helmet, so I guess you should be worried if it doesn't work.

Re: Helmets

What exactly is this air pump in the helmet and what is the mechanism?

It is a mechanism built into the helmet which should help you get a more comfortable and better fit.
With the pump you can fill in the helmets internal padding with air depending upon your needs. I don't find it very useful though.

Re: Helmets

Was it probably thought that air can be pumped in when the internal padding has lost it's firmness or if the rider just wants a little more snug feeling? The former idea sounds unsafe.

How is the mechanism operated? A button or some small external pump you use to fill into the mechanism after wearing the helmet?

There is a button and the pump is within the helmet shell.

Re: Helmets

For riders in Mumbai -

I've come across a wholesaler in Ghatkopar west. He deals in AGV, Steelbird, Arai, Shoei and a lot of accessories.
Has the best prices in Mumbai and supplies to dealers like A.A & A.M too.
Recently bought a AGV from him for INR 4000/- which was quoted as INR 7000/- from A.A helmets.

Attaching a scan of his visiting card. Do visit to check out prices before buying elsewhere.

That must be AGV MPA ...was quite famous at one point of time. But now we have better options in the same price range
