Helmets

[Ajay Vishwanath]

Re: Helmets

I'm planning to buy a new helmet. I'm currently running on a Vega Boolean. Doesn't feel strong anymore (4 years) and one side of the plastic fell of the moment my friend dropped it from hip-level within a week of purchasing.. overall a 2/5 rating I would give it..

Now time to get a new one.. I'm okay with a budget of around 3.5k.. How are LS2 helmets? some say fake some say they are great.. read a few pages and it's only getting more and more confusing..

I'm kinda liking the LS2 Tron in amazon.in. but it's fiberglass and somewhere I read that fiberglass is not great compared to the hard plastic..

BTW I'll be picking it up here in Hyderabad brick & mortar store..

BUMP!!!!

After reading through a couple of pages.. LS2 genuine/not genuine.. I'm looking at MT Blade.. However it's kinda out of my budget.

Any recommendations for around 4k?? This is confusing a little bit.. pro advise needed..

The base models of MT should be within your budget, but i would say to try to keep a budget of till 5k, then you could also add sparx to the list, which is a pretty good option.

MT Axxis will cost you Rs. 4150 and this is the lowest option when it comes to MT Helmets.

Cheerz!!

Buy from authorised Spartan Pro Gear dealers and you will get a genuine one. Check their website for dealers in your city / area.

Cheerz!!

Re: Helmets

Yes, it should be genuine, as said get from a authorized re-seller or directly from the spartan website. That way you can have some peace of mind.

Re: Helmets

Dynamic Ryderz is one authorized center for SPG..

However I'm not sure about other helmets.. I'll get the MT from these folks..

For additional information.. do I have a better choice for the price or should I go and pick it up..?

Also I'm not sure where to get sparx.. I'll try checking online..

Actually I'm having a budget of 15k for all the accessorries - jacket gloves and helmet.. I posted my selection in the riding gears thread.. so yeah.. that's how it is for me..

I'm not sure what you meant by a commuter helmet ?

But again I also do not know if they share the same shell. Chances are they do since they aren't providing any great deal of difference in terms of protection.

The AXXIS and REVENGE are tapered, aerodynamically contoured and sport oriented helmets suitable for both track and street. Style-wise they are edgy and aimed at a younger audience. The BLADE is an all-round helmet and the SV version (with sun visor) has the added convenience of a retractable internal sun visor. It's more rounded and plush than the first two models and therefore preferred by tourers and highway riders. The MATRIX is again an all-rounder whose focus is on weight. While MT's are not generally considered heavy, the MATRIX takes the weight factor to a new standard, almost competing with the lightness of carbon fibre but at a fraction of the cost. The OPTIMUS is a modular/flip-up helmet aimed at tourers and cruiser bikes. None of the models listed above share the same shell or interiors and are all unique in their construction.

All the MT's sold in India are dual certified. Both ECE R22.05 and DOT. The REVENGE has the additional distinction of being the only 5 Star SHARP rated helmet being sold in India.

So, revenge and blade do not have the same shell right..? I actually liked the sun visor but since it doesn't have the SHARP rating,I'm a bit thinking twice.. any idea about anti fogging since we spend about 5k + on these helmets..
