Re: Helmets

hmm... then i'll be going for the studds scorpion again is there any other better helmets at less than 3K of budget?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

it's a studds scorpion and no visible scratch to the helmet's shell or it's visor

No helmet is good under 3k, ls2 starts at minimal of 3800.₹.
Don't buy Scorpion again.
Look for studd striker and vega axxor

Re: Helmets

I am facing a very urgent issue with my SOL SS1 helmet. The helmet's visor is scratched up and I am unable to procure a replacement.

Both Megha Enterprise as well as Lets Gear Up were unable to provide me with a visor. Megha Enterprise even went to the extent of telling me that I have made a mistake in going for a SOL helmet. In their opinion, SOL helmet spares are perpetually unavailable. And Lets Gear Up informed me that something may be available by the end of April, but nothing is guaranteed. Please note that these are the authorized dealers that I am talking about.

And, to top it all, [email protected] remains unresponsive. This is pathetic.

I have posted here in the hope that Spartan reps take note of this post and helps me.

The other option for me would be to ditch my 6 month old SOL helmet and go for a brand with better spares support.

Re: New lid.

My LS-2 FF-350 Crono small review.

I used this helmet for my honda dio. I used to travel 40-50 kmph. So i could not test the wind test on other bikes. Had a chance to check it yesterday with few chennai xbhpians. Travelled on ECR as pillion in CBR 150 & 250 R. The padding is quite good for my face. Not loose or tight one. Just correct padding. The wind test gives different test after-all.

40-60 kmph- I could not hear wind noise from the vents .
60-70 kmph- Slight wind noise creeps inside the lid.
70-80 kmph- Wind noise can be heard.
80-100 kmph- Strong wind noise.
Post 100 kmph- I felt a lot of judder inside the lid. It's like your head is in place but your lid is shaking around your head.

It's is not safe to use beyond 100+ kmph. Best suited for city drive below 80 kmph.

Prospective buyers of LS-2: If your bike can cross 100 kmph(with-out stressing the engine rpm) please look some better make/model.
Disclaimer: This wind test is done only in LS-2 FF 350 model.


@B7ACKTHORN: With the abnormal wind test, In my lid a duplicate/fake one? Lid weight is 1.5kgs.

Hi bro... I need a one with around 3.5k to 4k just want to know whether these shops have the one with complete package because I get used to the Vegas, steelbirds & studds ( though they are the giants) I'm looking any dealer in specific for HJC ,KBC and sparX with the pricing above

Mine is R15 v2 , so the helmet must not only be protective beside that, should be very sporty and awesome in graphics and look

I don't think you woukd get HJC/KBC/SparX in the above stated budget.
Under 4k, you have LS2 and the MT helmets. Check on SPG website for dealers near your place for MT helmets.

Re: Helmets

Hi All,

I am in Look out for a helmet...My options are MT/SOL and HJC I already own a LS2 helmest just 1 yr + and completely worn out...Plz suggest me which one to go for .
Budget is around 6-7K

Re: Helmets

Hey arkadeep, I woukd suggest SOL SL68s helmet which costs around 6500 including VAT and other necessary charges. Very good protection, almost no wind noise, good ventilation and LEDs embedded behind the helmet work really well. Been using it for around a week now and am completely satified with it.

Ok dude he he... I was wondering whether I can get away with one of those with that pricing... Btw no problem in extending the budget if the other brands have not meet my criteria...let me check on spg.then decide on that.

I am very eager to know the level of wind noise in excess of 100km. Beside that I need some clarification on weight, protection inside the helmet.

Btw LED embedded behind the helmet is wonderful. Can you tell me how the LED works?

Happy to see some pics..if possible

Re: Helmets

Is LS2 Manufactured by vega in India ? I saw my friend's LS2 helmet with Vega written on it with ISI mark . I saw another LS2 with same vega thing .

And I am truly disappointed seeing the cheap quality/finish of the helmets . Visor is like paper thin with worst polish and finish . I got my LS2 two years back and it still looks awesome and quality has day night difference.

Has anyone else noticed this degrade quality of LS2-Vega and LS2-imported ?

Abhijeet - got your PM and also saw this message, so I looked into it.

1. Your mail to the HelpDesk was after 9pm on Wednesday. Which means the earliest they would have received it would be Thursday morning when they came into the office.
2. As with any HelpDesk, they follow a FIFO system addressing mails in the order that they are received. With current traffic, calls/mails/correspondence sometimes takes two days to respond to.
3. Due to power shutdown on Friday, they were closed with Sat being the next day, also a holiday. To compensate for Friday, the staff actually came in on Sunday to handle the backlog, but were met with a second mail from you, chastising their service and also threats from you. As per SLA, that level of aggression from a customer can only be handled by an SPG staffer, which would mean Monday (today) is when you would have got a call/mail from SPG, but my intervention pre-empted that.
4. No calls by you to the helpline regarding this issue was received or logged either, which means that SPG itself was unaware of your issue before today. In short, they had no opportunity to respond.

I humbly request that in future you refrain from flying off the handle and lambasting anybody before giving them an adequate opportunity to respond. I also spoke with Megha and LGU and they both denied your allegations too. In fact both do not carry stocks of ANY spares except for SL68 visors. Authorised dealers do not necessarily maintain stocks of spares as they are slow moving items. You should always check with the company. All that said, I have arranged your visors (I believe you wanted two?) in the Chennai Experience Centre. Please contact Satish or Sukanya on the landline number 044-24530195, for assistance and details of where you would like them shipped. They have been informed of your issue and await your call.

I hope that you are satisfied with the resolution of your issue. Cheers!
