Re: Helmets

^^^
That gives me some relief.

But there are stores who sell not so genuine stuff hence i will insist on buying things from some reputed place nowon.
Ready to shell out a few hundres more for it. Luckily i have a store here in pune to buy MT helmets from Spartan.

According to Spartan Chennai, Only Large size helmets are available now in India. In the next month XL would be available and Medium size would take some more time to arrive.

Re: Helmets

Thanks to all of you sir for giving such advices,
As per my noob mind digested it, things are
1. Less than 2k- vega axxor
2.2k-scorpion
3.3+k- ls2
I'll try to settle atleast with scorpion, but WILL make anything to get LS2 .
so Delhi xbhpians, please tell me a aunthetic wholesale shop where I can get a LS2(mainly,studds shop are also welcomed) ,only place I know of these things is karol bagh.
Thank you all again sir.

Re: Helmets

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.

Just compare your older LS2 with the newer lot, you'll see the difference in build quality.

Many dealers themselves don't know the originals from the fakes nowadays. Though, I recently saw a new LS2, there was an odd bumpy surface on the top, which meant that it hadn't come off properly from the mould. How it passed QC, I have no idea.

It's simple enough, if the dealer won't give you warranty, skip it, it means they're not confident about that product.
Of course this might not be applicable to the 'better' brands since those are imports too, however, the volume of LS2's in the market definitely raises eyebrows.
A good example is Spartan, who stand by their warranty, therefore I would have no hesitation in dealing with them.

Hello all ;-)

Karol Bagh, if you look at earlier posts, is a hotbed of fake goods.
Better you buy a Scorpion for 2K and rest easy.

Re: Helmets

[MENTION=68021]shadowgun[/MENTION].. Ls2 would be good, but if you can't get it, have a look at Studds Striker. Its a new helmet and I found it to be better than scorpion (in terms of built quality), haven't used it, so can't comment on comfort and noise levels. Its for 1900 something.
But try best to get a proper one.
All the best.

Is that so? But the Contact Us page of spartan still lists Poona Motors as their partner.. Spartan ProGear | Contact us

About Probiker, i have posted as i have come across on xbhp reviews. Probably this has more to do with the probiker gloves and fox (faux) stuff that is floating around in the market.
Else the guy gives after sales service/maintainance free for the products bought from him with bill and is helpful in purchases.
Please note i do not have first hand experiennce of such instances barring the LS2 Phobia dilema about its genuineness due to what i got to read here. I would rather stay away from saying anything about a particular store if i dont have something to prove it by.

If Spartan has partnered with him, we should get the products right and genuine.

PS: Edited my earlier post too.

About Probiker....and genuine.

Yup. A few days back when i contacted Poona motors for enquiring about the Spartan Icarus jacket they said that Spartan products are sold only at their other store which is Probiker.
When i contacted probiker store they also confirmed that and they also quote a price of 5000 for the jacket including local taxes.

I have heard reviews about probiker but even i don't have first hand experience with them. Their shop is closed today, if possible i'm thinking of going tomorrow to check it personally.

Hello all ;-)

Why doesn't anyone suggest Cross Helmets to him? I believe they have a ECE rating too, and slightly cheaper than LS2. But still not as good as LS2 though.
If I was on a tight budget, i would sure go for Cross helmet!
