    LS2 just for 2625/- !
    LS2 - RAGE WHITE RED

    So, Is Vega the importer for LS2 or this is just the model name of one of the range?
    ***Correct me if I am wrong :)

      That's a Vega - LS2, not a LS2 - LS2..

      Just like this AXOR SCARECROW WHITE BASE WITH SILVER GRAPHIC HELMET , they have renamed Phobia to ScareCrow !!
      Mayn, they are acting like copy-cats, they didn't have to copy "ditto" graphics from LS2 !!


      And this one, AXOR SPEEDO DULL BLACK WITH SILVER GRAPHIC HELMET the Graphics still show as "Lunatic Fringe" and they call it "Speedo"

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.

        Got AXOR ESCAPE version for 2.9k firstly he quoted me 3.5k but after highly bargaining the price settled down at 2.9k.
        The actual price of it is 2.4k in the vega website i know that i was cheated by the shopkeeper but what to do it is only big helmet shoppie which has all the brands except SOL & CROSS near to my residence.
        He is quoting 4k for LS2

        ONE DOUBT:-

        Did the vega copied the colour themes from the LS2 because all the axor ones looks same exactly like some models in the LS2

          Sal's guesstimate has a valid point here. It's real and you can see the subtle differences, because to my knowledge LS2 (genuine one) uses HTPP suffix which literally is a technical jargon for high pressure thermoplastic technology.

          And what I was shocked to see here in your link is that Vega uses HPTT totally the opposite, but it's clearly a copyright infringment to use their name. I have no clue as to whether Vega has obtained the rights to use their brand name. Pretty crafty technique for Vega to entertain such a thing.

          But this ain't genuine LS2, and no helmet maker will re-affirm another helmet makers' helmet, all the best they can do is copy or make a knock off replica. So this ain't genuine LS2 it's Vega's LS2

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

              This appears to be the old LS2 which was manufactured for a time by Vega. If it is anything as good as the quality I saw 2-3 years ago, it's very good at that price. It's heftier and sturdier than the cheaper (duplicates or not) LS2's in the market nowadays. Perhaps these are old stocks as one can notice it's mentioned they're on offer.

                What it basically says is, "We are a manufacturer of LS2 , exporter of LS2 made in India,"

                So I guess that sums it to to an extent. So if my memory serves me correct Vega manufactures LS2 with ISI in India.

                  Yes, ISI marked LS2's. The model was FF301 I think. The quality was better than the current crop of LS2's though.

                    I always had this slight dubiousness when LS2 marked with ISI were sold in India, just wondered who manufactured them, because no manufacturer would manufacture an ISI helmet in China. But homologation is a different subject, but this should clear most of the doubts.

                          I've the scarecow silver on white, totally VFM lid - best part is NIL wind noise even at 80 - 100 km/h !!

                          I suggest you get a couple of visors, as those are not upto the mark and new one's cost 150/- a piece.

                            There is no wind noise till 100kmph but after that slowly the wind noise creeps in to our ears.
                            The visor that i had got with the helmet is the mercury one but iam afraid of driving with those kind of visors at night times already met a small accident few months ago when iam using MPA helmet which is with tinted visor. So immediately changed to normal one because my driving conditions involves nightimes that too on highways.

                            The best part of the helmet is it is weight less than most of the bulky helmets available at the same price range.
