Re: Helmets

Recently had a crash and my helmet hit badly in the chin area at around 40kmph .Read some where that helmet develop internal damage and its not adviced to reuse it even for short distance is that true?
If I am forced to upgrade what to do with old one because selling it (its fairly new and well maintained) to fellow biker is not fair.
Shall I get LS2 again or any other brand? Under 5k .

Once scratched always scratched, nothing can be done. The severity depends on the deepness of the scratch. If you can touch on the scratch and feel any irregularities, then your scratch is severe, but if you don't then it's not that attention requiring. But in both ways, noting is gonna help. Now I know what most people do use some solvent to get ride of the scratch and make it even worse. Remember mirror finish are noting but a silver coating on the inside, so using the wrong solvent might melt or cause blob in the visor. So for now you've gotta live with the scratch.

And BTW welcome to helmet reality.

Yes the structural integrity of a helmet is negatively affected when you take a fall especially cheaper and European helmets. Though the helmet would appear absolutely fine, the impact absorption foam inside your helmet would have cushioned your head from the impact and will become hard, and the next time, there is no difference you hitting the obstacle in and getting severe concussion or even worse.

Buy a new visor ........ moreover, what I can tell you as per my personal experience that the mirror finished visors are relatively more prone to scratch appearance and so I would suggest to buy a plane and a dark visor to use as per your riding needs.

You should upgrade/replace, that is the safest advice I can give. You may take a look at SOL too if you have a budget of 5k. FYI, SOL is available in India through SPG.

Hi, as I see that this is your first post I take this responsibility to inform you that you should always search a thread on xBhp before putting up a query. It helps you with previous posts/reviews/advices immediately.

Anyways as you have asked for a helmet suggestion within 8K, you may look at brands like Airoh, HJC, SparX, SOL. Now your next part of learning is to search xBhp followed these names one by one on google and find out the previous posts, read them and then come back with a genuine query . It may take you time, but it will be worth it, trust me.

Acebiker are genuine reseller of LS2 in India, and it's better to get from them than elsewhere, and I don't mind paying a little extra to get that extra mile.

Plus make sure you ask for warranty/guaranty stuff etc, and make sure you check the product thoroughly before purchase.

VEGA AXOR is a sturdy helmet, and very strong diagonally unlike many other helmets which have a little flex to it. The cushioning and quality level aren't skybound, but you can expect it the range of SOL, both inner and outer quality is good, and it's DoT approved. You also have Cross which is good, but the finish isn't that impressive, I'd say both AXOR and Cross or on par, only sightly behind SOL.
