Helmets

Re: Helmets

A bad case of memory loss means my Sparx Rebel is back in Kerala and I am without a helmet

I have zeroed in on the HJC CL ST 2 after trawling through the net. Request any of the users to give a small review (or any other good ones).

P.S: My requirement is mainly 1.quiet 2. easily removable visor - helmet for long distance touring (the rebel did quiet well in that front). Budget can be stretched to 10k if needed.

Regards,
Mithun

Re: Helmets

K3 was replaced by K4 and what all stock is available must be the last stock. Asked due to curiosity

Prateek,

I have the 2013 AGV catalogue and it shows the K3 being sold next to the K4, so I don't think it's old stock.

Sunny sir,
the main website of the LS2 themselves mention the weight of their helmets are around 1300-1350gms and the same helmets have acquired sharp 4 star safety standard by the UK govt,and it clearly mentions it complies to the safety norm or even exceeds DOT/ECE standards.So Even original LS2 are not safe? as you have mentioned the weight should be plus 1500 gms for a ECE/DOT helmet if made from other materials other than carbon fibre

Lasky,

Just out of morbid curiosity, which helmet did you purchase? I mean the model?

There arn't that many SOL models available in india..
Spartan ProGear is the indian distributor, i think..
i told you to check their website.. The dealers are mentioned there..

My mistake then, the reason I said this because a friend wanted K3, although he got one after many attempts. Everywhere he asked they said its not in stock anymore.

K3 is still available. But thing is K3 is now in SALE everywhere around US with all VR46 designs, so the availability is rather difficult.

You should have checked a lil bit on the thread. Anyways, on this thread flip-up helmets have been condemned mostly because you can't assure the goodness of the flip-up chin of the helmet in case of a fatal road accident.

The only "kind" of helmet which has been recommended by the seniors is the full face helmet. Since you have provided your budget upto 5k, you may look at SOL (most recommended in this price), LS2 and Cross helmets.

For SOL: try here ::.MEANDERING INDIA.::

For LS2: Try Speedking, Karol bagh

For Cross: Try Chopra Auto, Karol Bagh (actually I don't have an exact idea of the genuine Cross Dealers in Delhi, but surely there must be some)

P.S. Kindly search the thread while you choose to put up a query, it will actually help you up instantly with the previous discussions, without making you wait for someone to respond

Thanks Bro.. I tried to check out the thread but due to a busy schedule i had checked only first 3 and last 2 - 3 pages of the thread. I liked these flip up helmets just because of the looks..

Anyways i will checkout now as per your suggestions.

Whatever you do, try not to source your best from Karol Bagh, for reasons well worth it. But you can try other reputed vendors. It's not to diss Karol Bagh, but KB is always a mixed bag with it comes to stuff and 90% plus stuff is clear knock-off stuffs and if one is not well aware, you can end up paying the right amount for the wrong stuff. Just a discretion.

Well i am also a bit afraid of going to KB alone. I am not that much experienced to shop from KB as never been there even once and also heard a lot about the bit truths of KB.

I called up MEANDERING INDIA today for SOL SF-1 WHITE (Full Face).


They told it is not in stock and asked to contact next week. Cost given by then is 4750/- INR (Approx.)

Why don't you contact SPG directly, they can ship the stuff you need from their Chennai warehouse, though with added courier charges. Shoot them a mail and they can perhaps sort out the issues you have.
