  • Re: Helmets

    A lot of ppl are aware of the fact the LS2 helmet website is owned by its indian importer. However i was not aware that there was a time when LS2 was manufactured by vega.

    What is the connection and how..??

    And sadly not much option in this price range.

MT servers have some technical issue with the servers that host SPG's website. That's why the SPG website is down for the last two days since hosting servers are being changed. You should soon see the MT link too.

      Anyway, you're missing the point. Vishwas was trying to make an altogether different point.
      Hi sir,

      You are right. I really need to improve my browsing skills.
      Kindly share exact links of these official websites.
      It will be of great help.

      Thanks in advance.

        Bro Post the pics once more ... can't open the attachment......
        Saw some KYTs a while back at Sunshine Helmets, Thane

        Also, regarding the LS2 Helmets site, in the link provided by Vishwas, under products, the LS2 link takes you to LS2 Worldwide, which in turn links to the Anil Gupta site.
        really confused now

            Guys I'll be getting my first bike in the coming days. Looking to get the basic riding gear in place.

            First off will be buying a helmet. Are ls2s a good option? Any other options ~4k? Also is bikegear.in a reliable source? Any other online distributors?
            What should be the next priority? I was thinking of going for riding gloves.

            The other gear will be bought in phases as soon as financially possible.

                You can try Rjays jackets and gloves also. I am using both and can assure you about quality. MT helmet is a good choice below 4000 and in my opinion among Indian brands studds shifter is at par with LS2.

                    I'm using studd shifter and seriously I went in with budget of around 3k .I had money to buy ls2 but when I checked both out in reality by looks by comfort and specially by strength (pressing the chin area ,I've good strength I'm my arms too) ls2 didn't justified itself .maybe that's because new ones are being target of more profit less safety .

                      Heard many good reviews of the Shifter. Could you please tell me, how is the wind noise protection for the Studd Shifter? And, at what speeds does the "Whistling" start?

                        starts around 60kmph is okayish until 80 then from 80-100 is fairly noticeable then from 100-125 is disturbing and from 125-148 kmph danger.
                        By the way use earphones or ear buds and no problem till 120kmph

                          After reading all the LS2 related talk here, I have got something to ask.
                          I have an LS2 manufactured in 2012 with the ECE sticker on it, bought from an 'authorised dealer'. The build seems good and hard and feels way better than my older Steelbird SB helmet. What are the chances of it being fake? Should I consider binning it and buying a new one?

                            The problem with LS2 is not whether its original or fake....and there are very high chances that you have the "original" helmet dstributed by "laxmi automibiles" ...the national distributor.

                            The problem is that its place of manufacturing in unknown and we dont know whether its ECE sticker is genuine.

                              Bro I just recently got one LS2. While in the store I tried Rhyno from Studds and also Vega Boolean and Vega off roader. For sure I can differentiate the comfort offered by the LS2 and it was very different from others. I have used Studds downtown also, that's actually a compact helmet. But LS2 or KYT or Airoh has that difference which you can feel after putting it on.

                                Same is the case with MT helmets. Starts at 60 and above 80 its noticeable. Though i never tested my MT helmet above 100 kmph.
                                Also ventilation ports work after 60mph. Below 60 and at signals its hot inside.
