    Go through this link and decide what you want to make of it. I personally own an LS2, bought back in early 2013. But I have stopped recommending them to anyone.

    Even if you buy an LS2, make sure you buy a 'genuine' one as there are too many fakes of the 'genuine' ones around. All said and done, 'genuine' LS2s still offer a decent level of protection and are way better than most of the helmets that you see on the Indian streets. Read somewhere recently that a rider was saved by his LS2 when he totalled his brand new D390 in a collision with a bus on a highway.

    For a budget of 4K, you'll get better ones. Wait for folks with more market knowledge to respond
    Thanks for the knowledge brother, I've also heard that there are many LS2 fakes these days in market, how to recognises fake and Original one?

      There's no way to do it. That's why it is strongly recommended to go ahead with a genuine piece which has a valid supply channel. In any case, these are better than the regular Indian made ones and hence is still preferred. In 4K, MT is the only good choice which has an originality in its availability in our nation.

      It's your choice bro,,

          OT : I still dont understand when people here want to do their own, why they ask us. Even after numerous examples and explanations, people think that their choice is best, why bother in first to post and ask.
          Neither of us here want that others learn the hard way. But at the end of the day, its your money, its your head/face.

          Sorry for being rude

                  How do you say revenge is more for safety and blade more for touring.

                    Revenge is the only model south of 15K available in India, which is SHARP 5 rated, and well blade has a more rounded-off shell with internal sun-visors, making it tourer friendly.

                      as mentioned few ppsts earlier,as long as there is an e9 kinda logo near the chin strap or the visor of the ls2 helmet,its a genuine ece certified helmet,also to double check the authenticity of ece helmet very ece helmet is assigned a code and as long as the code starts with 05 number,its a genuine helmet

                      • For those facing probs with tight fit of online-bought helmets.

                        1). Cut the inner lining of the cheek pads,
                        2). Sponges will be there in 2-3 layers,
                        3). Remove 1 or 2 layers. Usually, 1 is sufficient as it is sponge material. Reduces the tightness greatly.

                        Dats it. Ur good to go!! [emoji3] I did this operation on my SparX S07 helmet!!!
                        Now my helmet's become unbelievably better than before.[emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3]

                        Cut along proper lines & do proper stitching if u don't want any marks later on.[emoji3] [emoji3]

                            This past Saturday, I met with an accident and was thrown away from my motorcycle at approximately 80kmph and landed hitting the tarmac head first. Miraculously my bike sustained only minor scratches.I was surprised to see my bike without any major damage, cause while being thrown off I taught the whole bike will be wrecked.

                            Unfortunately my riding gears are damaged. My jacket now has a scraped forearm sleeve plus cracked forearm armor. I've been only using the cheap Probiker glove and even that cheap,uncomfortable
                            glove have saved my palms. Now its torn and the plastic armors on it are grinded.The helmet though only has a 1/2 inch hairline scratch at it's back part.

                            Initially I had the hesitating idea of "No need to replace my helmet", As I was so emotionally bonded to it. Yeah I know it may sound a little wierd but its
                            my first motorcycle helmet and I loved it. To inspect the helmet further, I removed the comfort liner and checked the protective layer. It now has a wide,shallow crater formed on it.
                            And this shallow, compressed part is much harder than the other non compressed portion of the protective liner. Hence the helmet won't be saving my head in an event of a fall next time. So Its time for a new lid.


                            Moral: No matter how hard the helmet takes a hit, The outer shell won't completely reveal the actual damage done to the helmet.

                              • Hey Guys sorry I can't search the thread right now so I'd like an answer from you all if possible.

                                Is there any good helmet (Full Face) available within 2K?

                                Helmet must be good looking and must have air vents. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!
