Re: Helmets

A small doubt. Why cheek pad need to be a little bit tight fit? Is this help anything with the top ventilations in helmets?

Re: Helmets

Small info... Recently I was in US and bought an HJC helmet from there. It is SNELL as well as ECE rated and contrary to the belief, it has sticker pasted on it and not painted. And i am pretty sure it can not be fake one😜

They helmet needs to be snug fit so that in a fall, it would not move and hence protect you better. A loose helmet can i turn do more damage than the fall might do.
Fit and ventilation are not related.

as long as you have an E9 kinda logo stitched near your chin strap of Ls2 ff302,mentioning the model number,its a genuine ECE LS2,know this,as Mr Anil Gupta importer of LS2 has told me how to differentiate between genuine and fake LS2 ,stickers anyone can paste,but inner stitching near chin strap only original LS2 have

I do have the E9 logo you mentioned . I guess I have a original Ls2 helmet . thank you very much for providing this information, it give me a relief that I have original helmet and dint just waste my money.

Re: Helmets

Guys, need your suggestions/recommendations for a new lid. My LS2 dream is over 3.5 years old now and I'm bored of it. Plus it's full of scratches and the inner sponge linings have started to come off. Probably better to change the helmet rather than replace the sponges.

Budget is 4k. Can stretch by another 1k if the helmet is THAT good. (please don't start bashing about compromising safety. Budget is tight and will have to compromise something big for that extra 1k )

Bike is an FZ midnight black (black with golden alloys and stickers). So would prefer something black, but not plain black.
Shouldn't let in wind noise at least up to triple digit speeds.
full faced and ventilated
Tinted/Mercury visor preferred over clear. If it accommodate 2 visors or can be interchanged easily, that'd be great.
Please, no LS2.
As light as possible. The current one I use is 1.5kgs and though my neck muscles have gotten stronger due to it, it gets nasty on long rides.

Put up in bangalore. Do suggest some stores where I can try them out and determine the right size.

Did very little homework and all I could find was the MT AXXIS.

Re: Helmets

Check out the new range of Kyt helmets from PlanetDSG, MT from Spartan and SOL and LS2 all these are very good VFM helmets, I've had my fair share of experiences of some of these helmets, except the Kyt. But from the reviews, it's gotten pretty positiive reviews and I've seen people praise the helmet, at such an excellent price point, and if I am not wrong, Kyt is worn by Dovi in MotoGP. But that aside, these are your best bet.

Cheers!

Thanks. Will check them out at one of the outlets in bangalore. Any idea about the wind noise ? Pretty sure they wouldn't let me test that

Re: Helmets

Guys which among the two is the safest, double d ring or buckle chin strap? What is the reason for the same? Tried searching and most say it is down to preference. Is this true?

From the lids I've used, SOL, MT all whistle above 80 KMS and SOL pretty much worsens post the 95 KMPH barrier. MT when you crouch shields the wind noise real good, but still pretty much buzzing in your ears enough to irate one. But all in these are budged oriented helmets and provide excellent VFM, I'd suggest you to lean towards MT and Kyt.
