Helmets

Re: Helmets

Hey buddy, and everyone else. So I'm near bangalore at the McDonald's and having worn the lid for 300 kms, my head has finally adjusted to it :P, there is significantly less wind noise, aerodynamics are leaps and bounds ahead of the ls2 and fit is perfect, the new strap is easy to get used to and the clear visor is fantastic, the sound isolation can really be felt when opening the visor and then closing it :O, the padding is very thick and all in all vfm helmet

[MENTION=59231]dannyR15[/MENTION] it could have been even more helpful if you could post the snaps of the helmets from inside, side, quarter view and most of all the "arse" just wanted to get a feel for how it looks. I am considering a red one too, so if you can help us out that'd be real great.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

I'm a newbie and was going through this thread (looking to buy one) And you guys changed my whole perception..!!
Initially, I was going to buy a 300-500₹ flashy helmet, but reading all posts here, I came to know importance of safety.
So extended my budget a little bit.
Opps, I forgot to tell, I have a 200ns, and now need a helmet
Pls tell me a good one in range of 1000-2000 ₹ . I want a VFM long lasting product.
Thank you all.

Hello all ;-)

If you really came to know the importance of safety then why are you going for a 1-2k helmets. I know its better than going for a Rs 300-500 helmet but I strongly suggest you extend your budget a little more and atleast go for a LS2 or the recently launched MT helmets.

Hello all ;-)

If you are still going for a under 2k helmet then look at the Studds scorpion or the Vega axor. But i still suggest you save a little more and go for a good lid.

And plz no more sir

Hello all ;-)

Ls2 starts at around Rs. 3700, but some get it for some Rs. 3000-3200.

Hello all ;-)

If you are not in a position to stretch your budget even a single bit then don't settle for anything less than the Axxor; I am afraid even this is going to cost you more - reportedly a friend bought it for 2200/- INR recently in Bangalore. LS2 here retails for somewhere around ~3500/- INR. You can check out the MT too, looks VFM and flashy.

In any case, if you are forced to settle with the lesser ones, make sure you upgrade sooner than later to the better ones - 'just don't compromise with Helmet!

Ride safe.

Hello all ;-)

If your budget is strictly about 1K - Studds Rhyno/Ninja
About 2K - Studds Scorpion (better build quality)
If you can stretch it to 4K, go in for an MT - they are highly rated in the SHARP website. For the introductory price, they are very good indeed.
LS2 has too many variables for me to suggest them. Some are Indian made (what's the QC like?), many are fakes, some are dubious imports. Unless one is assured of their quality or originality, there are many other options to choose from.
Ensure you have a snug fit while purchasing it.

Everytime i read this type of statements here (which are pretty repeatative) i give suspicious look to my LS2 phobia that i purchased from Probiker Pune for 3K. The same was quoted by Laxmi Auto (authorised LS2 reseller) at 3400/-. This is 3 years back. Since the Laxmi Auto guy wouldnt allow any discount we headed to Probiker and got the lid. Fake or not, it appears to be protecting me eversince.
Havent really crashtested it though

That said, i regret not buying it from authorised shop for the peace of mind it offers. My next got to be MT in all probability.

BTW, as posted earlier, i have converted the Phobia into self-contained bluetooth helmet and is serving very well to me and works flawlessly.
Shall post the DIY this weekend.

Re: Helmets

.... LS2 phobia ... for 3K. ... 3 years back.

Most probably genuine lid. 3 years back, LS2 was new and hot. Fakes took the market by storm in the last 10-12 months or so.

Hello all ;-)

I was in the same boat as u are some time ago. From quite some time i was using a crappy helmet with my previously owned r15 and now with duke(appologetic), but now i have finally saved for a good lid and will be getting either the new mt helmet or ls2. Try to increase your budget to ls2 or mt helmet, but if you are unable to do so, you should get studd scorpian, my bro got i a month ago and i really liked the build quality and design at the price at which its available. Happy lid shopping.

Btw guys anyone know when the mt helmets will be available at their site
Or at meandering india(i tried calling but they didn't pick) because i need new lid urgently..thanks
