Helmets

Re: Helmets

Thank you for the quick reply, I don't think I can stretch my budget to accommodate a Nolan but I think I can dig in a little deeper for a KYT replica.

Could you help me with a little more information on the MT

Model in use, duration of the ownership, and the fit. My main concern is the padding going too flat too soon. how is the wind noise.

Owned the MT AXXIS Limited Evo White helmet. Fit was very good indeed, but again, was upto my expectations on the move, wind noise curbed very well, audible annoying noise upwards for 100+. But sold it for another one.

Is this because the visor doesn't sit flush with the rubber beading or is it because the rubber beading isn't fixed properly?

Leaks in helmet can be caused only due to two reasons, poor rubber beading seal and or worse case, improper shell design itself. If you'll look closely, you can clearly see the rubber beading syncing in with the rubber beading. If you see visible gaps or if the curvature of the visor doesn't sync with the shell then you definitely have a faulty helmet in your hands.

But the MT I owned didn't have any leak issues, though it fogs teeny tiny as usual. But all in a very good budget helmet.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Silva sir, thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, we met at Kari, I crashed the CBR :/

I was waiting for the MT GP series to come down to Hyderabad, Dynamic riders which stocks the MT helmets here has not received them as yet. Can you let me know if that would be a good investment considering that I head to the track once in awhile?

The MT Revenge GP's are the only 5-Star SHARP rated helmets sold in India to my knowledge at this time. You can go for it eyes closed. Dealers stock according to demand, so if you want something, poke your local reseller.

Suggestion regarding buying helmet

So i want to buy a helmet of price range Rs. 3k-5k, as I got my first bike just 2 days back (Honda cbr 150r). Excluding brands like studds and vega any other good brands with good certification? I heard of LS2, SOL, MT, CROSS, THH etc. Please suggest some good helmet based on the looks, the comfort, and any other factors that you guys know off. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, I think I need to bug Varun a little more to get the stock in hand or could you please send in a few helmets to Dynamic Ryderz in Hyderabad, I will be more than willing to buy you Biryani the next time you are in Hyderabad.

Does the Revenge GP come with a drop down sun visor like the Blade or is that is something that is specific to the Blade alone?

Blade only, plus the Revenge GP would look mad with the iridium visor on it

Re: Helmets

so what's the difference? MT Blade vs MT Revenge

I have a Blade and an Axxis, the axxis and the revenge are more tapered design and mainly for highspeed and track applications the blade is a more touring and all round helmet

Re: Helmets

Hi,
I'm looking for a xxxl size helmet (Full face). I havn't been able to find the size anywhere in India (Online). Can anyone please help me with this?

I'm planning to get one from UK as the size is availble there. I want to know if someone is bringing that helmet for me, do they have to pay any duties. They will be bringing that as luggage.

Appreciate any inputs.

I have started wondering if I'm the only one with a big head in the entire country?

Re: Helmets

Not while riding. I wear small cloth that is wrapped on head, however due to my hair, the xxxl size helmet is required. I have a pretty big body frame as well.

Re: Helmets

Guys, I enquired the HJC CL-17 and IS-17 prices from Let's Gear Up, B'lore (Stock's coming next week, hopefully).
They said CL-17 would be 9K INR and IS-17 would be 15K INR.
Now my concern is why the huge price difference for just an internal visor?
I could not find any other difference between these two models. Am I missing something here?

If 15K is justified for the IS-17; then, how does it compare to the Shark helmets with the internal visors?
Riding DNA has some Shark models around that price.

Please enlighten!
