Re: Helmets

Okk.. So im planning on buying a new helmet..and that would be l Dirt/Mx style. Iam willing to shell out 5000rs on it. Any suggestions/help would really help.
Although i went through few of those online but a little more help might give me a wider perspective to decide over it.

Would be for touring purposes and weekend rides. Please dont get into technical aspects on MX type helmets being not good for touring etc...i know all that. Any Mx type helmet or any suggestions related to that etc would really help.

Just a small thought though, if you're considering a MX/Dirt for touring, I'd suggest not to, you can either go for a DUAL SPORT helmet that's sold by SOL and their SS1 SX1 dirt helmets, if you're into off roading. Yes MX helmets give you better air flow, but I'd personally advice you to get a dual sport rather than MX even for weekend touring.

Cheers!

Be happy with what you have, it's a decent enough helmet.

Use this Dbsafe Reusable Earplugs Twin Pair PK NRR25 DB Level | eBay
Or this
5 Pairs 3M 1270 Model Reusable Corded Earplugs FOR ALL Types OF Noiseprotection | eBay
to make your rides comfortable. The wind noise is significantly cut out.

Re: Studds Scorpion

Hello Guys,

I am looking for a helmet with a budget of 6k...initially I was planning on SOL Unicorn, did not get a chance to check it out due to non availability of SOL here in Delhi.

My only requirements are alongwith good protection-
1) Weight-Helmet should be as light as possible.
2) Visor and ventilation-Good ventilation and visor as I would like to ride with visor close most of the time.
3) Design but is secondary (to go with Duke).

SOL is quite heavy from what I've read, so I dont see it as an option, I have tried THH, but was too large for me and Chopra at Karol Bagh had that size only.

And I would refrain from LS2.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Mainly because the market right now is flooded with fake LS2's, and I dont have enough knowledge to identify a genuine one.

Re: Helmets

SOL and HJC has pure black models, both under the 8k mark.

You can go ahead safely for online purchase with Spartan/SOL, they do not have a negative track record there.
For HJC , you might need to check with PRS.

Did you check with Meandering India to know the availability of SOL and MT helmets? Usually they get products once/twice a month. Also, you can try Redline racing store for HJC and AGV. However, these won't be under 6k mark.

Yes, I called Meandering India 2 weeks back, then he said he does not have any SOL, and now I called him yesterday, he says that he only has MT and will receive SOL a week later. He also has NUVO's old stock and is of arround 6k. The newer stock will have a price of around 8k, but the ones he has are scratched as the container fell down, so its a deal breaker.

I am not aware of MT..how are these? According to Meandering, the price is arround 3.8K, and price range of HJC and AGV?

Thanks.
