      The wind noises starts from between 70 to 80-85kph, saying as I have been using it from past several months, good helmet though for those who are looking for a helmet at around 2k, now new graphics have also been launched, I took it when the product was new to the market and quite happy with it, next upgrade would be a SOL Hornet. . .
      [MENTION=23756]truelypulsarian[/MENTION] no noise till 100kph might be when there is absolutely no wind. . . Else 70 is the starting. . . BTW why dint you go for a clear visor. . ? There were options for tinted/clear, I have the clear and it's pretty good and helps me for my night riding, as mine also involves night riding . . . Light weight is the main reason I went for it, . .

      Cheers!!!

        Nope! No wind noise. What you hear is loud turbine noise post 85.

            I am going to buy it later on mann, at least after I get another bike , till then will be going on with this Axor. . . So no worries for me, I can wait and by then if something better is there which I like it, will go for that if hornet isn't there. . .

              The things which i loved are :-

              1) Sexy looks every person on the road stares at you because of the helmet :P
              2) Great comfort
              3) Fog free
              4) Excellent inner padding which is made up of great quality.
              5) No whistle sounds even at 100+ speeds
              6) Washable interior
              7) Superb build quality for that price range
              8) Finally its DOT certified
              The Graphics are similar to this LS2 LS2 Helmet - FF50 X-Reality - Buy Now | eBay . Not sure what's going on, I see many of the Vega Axor designs similar to the LS2 range.

                This is because Vega has some contract to build LS2 models with ISI mark for sale in India. Then, they blatantly copy the design on to their own helmets and sell them cheap(er).

                    A new helmet launched by Studds.
                    Saw this on the FB page of DJ-Helmets and they said the price is Rs. 1995, but it isn't on the Studds website.
                    Looks good though

                      Yes I had an opportunity to try them on. And in my honest opinion they are the very definition of "waste of money".

                      The inner padding can not be detached, feels very cheap and the wind noise is horrible on it. Even the graphics/paint isn't of the best quality. If one could try wearing an egg shell, this is what it would feel like.

                          The helmet is not good at wind noise cancellation at highway speeds.

                            Oh! Got it. So which one should I look for? Any suggestion? Can you comment regarding its comparison with ninja 2g. As I have only used this so far, so it would be easy for me to relate.

                              Well indeed, it looks really nice. Whats the name of the lid ?
                              Wonder how does it fair regarding the wind noise!

                              LS2 FF350?

                              Or, why not try the Studds Helmet mentioned by [MENTION=60608]nadz11.ns[/MENTION] and give us review as well. :P

                                I have no idea about ls2. Would it offer better noise reduction compared to vega axor?

                                Regarding these studds. By looking at the pics, I have feeling that they are redesigned/remodeled scorpion.
