You can get some good helmets in your budget range..
Look into SOL, SparX, Arioh..
Also go through previous few pages.. You will find more in them..

Re: Helmets

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.

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

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

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.

Re: Helmets

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. ....?

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.

Re: Helmets

Finally got My LS2 Supra FF358.

Cost:4K. Soumajiguda, Hyderabad
I have been trying to get a hold of the black/silver supra for the past 1.5Yrs without luck. Had to settle for this. The inner EPS had a date of 08/2011

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

Airoh is much better than SparX build and quality wise. But where I like AIROH is the lightweight component attached to it, it's just excellent. But it being a little snugger than usual, I'd recommend one to revise his/her idea as to just going for it by size, you might end up a size bigger than you actually wanted to. Apart from that, it's just excellent.

SOL leads the class in that range, and then comes LS2 and then you have AIROH HJC, KBC and the likes. *IF* you're some cool decal lover, you can try SOL, SparX and LS2. All these helmets have been tried and tested here in this forum.

Re: Helmets

Friends can anyone give review about steel bird adonis

strong enough for isi category,lightest in its class and made up of 100% abs material,the one you would find in a 2000rs cross helmet

What exactly made you report so my friend for SB Adonis ?



Cross in 2K !!! .............. please enlighten us with the model name

my friend is an owner of a helmet shop and is also the dealer for steelbird helmets

O my goodness ................ where have you been my friend for all these years .............. Your friend who owns a shop tells you what was told to him from a sales guy, that sales guy who was paid by Steelbird only .................. and you of all people accept it without availing the knowledge source available at this public platform specially dedicated to "Helmets" .............. and to add more to it you have opted to offer your suggestion too with utter boldness ................ now that's height of ignorance.


The only reason I am putting up your posts here is to inform you that you should always take proper care/info when you have to offer an advice on a public platform about an object which actually is a life-saver stuff in unfortunate road accidents. This is not at all a joke, its a damn serious stuff here brother.

MPA -AGV have parted company. AGV is now made by Sabre helmets.Still found the padding and fitting better than Cross.
