Helmets

Re: Helmets

the degradation ls2 are definitely the fake chinese ls2 and if anyone is quoted rs 2500 for ls2 they are definitely fake,i had a long discussion with the main distributor for ls2 when i bought my helmet from him,the price he qouted me was 3.2k non negotiable.i also asked him is this helmet the one i bought ff 351 ece/dot certified and is it genuinely sharp 4 star rated,he went to his office and showed me the latest ls2 2013 catalog and the model i bought ff 351 plain gloss black the same helmet was listed in the catalog with the sharp 4 star rating and the ece/dot certification,so my doubt was cleared regarding safety standard of ls2,he also pointed out that there are few traders who have imported local ls2 from China which are not ece/dot certified and have chinese wordings on the visor,those are the fake ls2 retailing for 2.5k and in some places more than 3.5k,the price of a genuine ls2 he told me in any part of the country is between 3 to 3.5 for the ff 350/351 model,and is going to increase as dollar rate has gone up,which is the same model and i confirmed with them as the inner padding will have ff 350 written on the label and the exterior shell will have either ff 350. something or ff 351. something it all depends upon the graphics you choose.I have confirmed the same from ls2 website and have uploaded the pic below,hope this clears all confused souls like me regarding ls2.so the ls2 with weight 1350 gms is definitely ece/dot certified.The distributor also told me as long as one buys from his dealer network the product will be genuine.

As long as you have bought your helmet with the sharp 4 star rating on the visor there shouldn't be a problem,

For now, just forget it and enjoy the helmet. If you delve deeper, you're only gonna get frustrated. Just diss about it, you got your helmet, ride it and enjoy. I have friends who have the same model helmets and are going just fine. Period.

Just relax and take a ride to feel the goodness of the crown that you have purchased. If you are still stuffed with worries it is better to call Laxmi Auto, Pune and get you worries done. BTW Helmets are something that are meant for 5-6 years only and then they should be replaced.

sorry but the average life span for even the branded helmets are at max 2-3 years that is if you don't crash. If crashed, they suggest for immediate replacement as even hairline crack in a helmet won't function properly.

I had read it to be 5 years here Guide: How to Choose a Good Helmet in India | Bike Chronicles of India . And yeah I must apologize to miss the crash/fall situation part.

Re: Helmets

Was LS2 FF350 discontinued? I can't see FF350 on the LS2 website, but there is a similar looking helmet, named FF351, maybe they changed the model name.

That's what's being claimed. But I'm skeptical since the FF351 weighs 340 gms less and is much lighter and therefore has to be a different construction. How can they be the same model if they have different construction? I don't buy it.

On a different note - (this may be a bit OT) - during my work week, I handle and come in contact with a LOT of different types of gear and helmets. Most of it is mundane and some downright crap - but every once in awhile, I get to work with and handle something special. These are a few of the special pieces of art I got to handle this week!


The Schuberth SR1 - probably the best made helmet I have seen till date and now at the top of my bucket list!

The Arai Corsair V - no doubts as to why this brand is so popular.

The Shark Speed R Sauer . I was surprised by the quality of this helmet.

The AGV K3 from the VR series. Popular because of VR but no match for the others - still worth a mention because of amazing graphics!
