Re: Helmets

Just lift the visor a little to avoid fogging. What was the price bro ?

Yup. Doing that. The thing came for 6.4k

kindly cross check if the breath deflector and the overhead vents are open to avoid fogging.

Yes brother. Even after opening the breath deflector and the overhead vents , it does fog. Well, will live with it. As Ivin said, i keep the visor slightly open which does the job.

Re: Helmets

@jayanth Try helmet paradise JC road. Should have good negotiating skills..
Obviously they will start from 4k and above. Anything less than 4k is what u should look for.
Settle with anything between 3500~3800. If you can get less than that you are damn lucky.
BTW when replying in the thread please make sure that you dont reply along with image attachments.
Because it will b really tough for those internet users who are running on slow speed internet.

sure thanks bro ..

Re: Helmets


Hi guys,

can anyone tell me if this model Thh helmet comes only in matte finish or does it have a glossy variant. if not, is there any way to make it glossy, like if I clear coat it. Is it going to help... Please help.. Thank you

Re: Helmets

Clear coat on a helmet is not a bad idea, but what type of clear coat and the chemicals used will negatively impact the helmet's structural integrity, or paint i.e. automotive paint for that matter from weakened shell to degraded foam liners. So it's wise to know which clear coat suits which. Paints have fumes and and helmets don't like them. Consider a professional for the clear coat, not your ordinary street vendor, who do the work cheap for what it takes.

There are certain paints/and markers specifically for helmet designers, though it's real rare in India for one to get a hand on them. But visit some reputed paint shop and ask them what sort of clear coat can be applied on a plastic so that it won't degrade the plastic (your helmet that is) and then go for it.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Hiiii all ... I have been following this page for quite sometime now and have just fell in love with this page.
Today just came came across the newly launched Fast track helmets. They cool good , designed quite nicely like our ls2 helmets but they are very light in weight and they are overpriced when compared to other brand of helmets which are available in that price range .

Hey siddhant where did u find them. I don't see them in market. I think they are available only in exclusive fast trak stores. But since you came across them do you think they are sturdy and safe? How is the build quality? In that price bracket is it worth having a look on them? I want to buy one for my wife.

They are very much available for sale on most of the outlets. I too found them nice and interesting. But backed off as they are over priced as the other member said. They give a fit and good hold from inside and are hard just like other brands. Very few collection as of now. Maybe we could expect more in a few months.

First off, Fastrack helmets about to launch their helmet was out quite a few months back IIRC. And good to see them stacked, but as much as I see them, and what I read in their press release was

Speaking at the event, Titan Company Vice-President and CMO (Watches & Accessories Division) Ronnie Talati said: “We are getting the helmets manufactured in India. We have tied up with an Italian company, called AGV, one of the largest helmet manufacturers in the world ...We are tied up to make our helmets to our design, and we control marketing, we control design and safety standards.”

This being an AGV partnership, you can expect good quality, and as far I see they have more half open face 3/4 and half helmet and quite a few MX helmet, which would look cool or girls, but I guess we should look on the brighter side, personally. Not all bling is good, just my two cents.

As much as I don't recommend anyone from buying a MX for street use. This orange is too good to resist.

Just for MX aficionados

Where are you located ? I suggest then that you should get in touch with some expert xBhpian in your region or call up the SPG Customer care to mark out the issue because fogging inside a good helmet (which SOL is) is not at all expected for normal running conditions ! Fogging inside do occurs but in rains or cold weather with fogs around.

Perhaps he's new to the scene Pranav. There is nothing that can be done, as all helmets do fog with a plain PC visor unless one has a pinlock. I think he's already gotten used to it at the end.

I'm in Mumbai. Yes, i was planning to ask a senior member in the next g2g but the thread has gone cold since a few days. Lets take this offline, i would need some more inputs from you.

Vj sir , first of all, heartiest congratulations. As you rightly mentioned, I have gotten used to it now. Looking at the positives rather than the negatives

What is a pin lock? Let me google.

These Fast track helmets look good, but when I enquired with the sales person, I came to know that the inner linings cannot be removed for cleaning. I feel at that price they should be removable ones.

Since most of their helmets fall in the 3/4 and half face there is no practical need to remove the cheek pads, at least that's what's been the case in most cheapo plus mid range helmets out there. Unless one visits the showroom and get a look at the proper full face helmet and other helmet it's hard to know. But from the pics of it, most 3/4 and half face have a single piece liner affixed.

Appreicate the wishes buddy, thanks. PINLOCK is nothing but a anti-fog film stuck on the inside of the helmet, but the visor should be able to fix it, not all helmet visor will suit it.
