Re: Helmets

Guys from Pune, I need your help.

I was looking for Helmets on eBay and found the seller called, The Riders Den. (Shop 5, Silver Plaza, Fatima Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra.)

They're offering LS2 helmets at a good price. I want to know how genuine their products are. If I decide to buy, then it would be my first ever online purchase so I want to make sure of the legitimacy of the seller before throwing money away.

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP IF YOU KNOW THIS SELLER AND CAN VOUCH FOR THEIR GENUINENESS. I urgently need to buy a helmet. I ride a P200Ns, and this Studds Ninja Pastel just ain't cutting it anymore.

better to check with the authorised importer of Ls2 first,you can get the info at ls2helmets.com/in and click on contacts page,else they have a fb page as well,ls2helmets india

Mark,
Not sure about rider's den but lakshmi automobiles are the authorised dealer of ls2 .
Try not to buy helmets online because of fitting issue and many other. This was the most useful advice I got from seniors of this forum which helped me a lot.
Also suggest you to check MT helmets , I myself own a blade its simply awesome .

Re: Helmets

Hello Guys,
I have one question, I have recently purchased 'MT Revenge GP' helmet, which is simply awesome. I like it very much other than one thing ' It has ratchet lock system on chin strap'. Actually I was looking for Double D- Ring lock system and I have SOL SF-1 in my mind but somehow I fell in love with MT Revenge, for which I am not regreting but is it possible to change ratchet hook to Double D- Ring one ??? If possible where can I get it done in Mumbai. I tried no google it but cant find anything other that diffrence between both andI have no idea about this, so please clarify...
Regards,
Aniruddha

Re: Helmets

I would advice you not to mess with the strapping system. Double-D Rings are amazingly effective but if you have a ratchet system stick to it. For further buys remember to emphasise on the systems and then the look of the helmet or its cultural value. Safety first

All MT helmets including the Blade and the Revenge are available with EU ratchet or D-Ring. The EU ratchet versions were imported initially because of customer preference. The Blade is now also available with D Ring.

It it is not advisable to convert the fastener by yourself aftermarket.

SPG is about to launch two more models from MT, the high-end Matrix with an all fibreglass construction and the Optimus modular/flip-up. Look out for the announcements.

Looking forward to this one - I am sure would be a mouth watering price proposition!

Any reviews/ comments about the HJC Cl17 series? (Victory and Mech hunter to be specific)

Not exactly - at least I don't think so. I have heard an interesting story many times about this. Personally I cannot authenticate completely but tend to believe it because of many corroborating factors.

It goes like this - a few years ago, AGV took control/stake of Sabre Helmets in Vadodara to manufacture some of their own product line with cheap Indian labour. This factory was converted into a EOU and exports the majority of their production. However as per terms of the EOU, a small percentage of their production has to be sold in India itself. Not wanting to dilute their own prestigious brand models, they began selling the old Sabre shells (then known as MPA ) with AGV livery. These helmets were pretty popular about 4-5 years ago.

However with the arrival of cheaper and better imported helmets, these rebadged MPA helmets started losing market share and could not meet their targeted sales volumes. So the factory started offering OEM services to other companies. Fasttrack and RE are just two that they now manufacture for. Basically the old MPA shells making a reappearance under new livery. If you examine a Fasttrack helmet label, you will see the product is manufactured by Sabre Helmets Vadodara but marketed by Fasttrack/Titan Industries. In essence, Fasttrack is merely selling a rebadged Sabre/MPA helmet at a much higher price than what Sabre themselves could because of the better brand equity.. Ditto for RE. The marketing companies in this case prefer to announce a "technical collaboration" with AGV rather than talk about MPA/Sabre for obvious reasons.

To help corroborate this story, please do some research and you will find some startling similarities in the RE and Fasttrack products with the MPA/Sabre helmets.

Cheers!
