Re: Helmets

Do you mean that jumping to conclusions can hurt?

Or do you mean jumping with a bike?

Sorry for the n00b question..

Re: Helmets

Helmet is basic need for every bike rider.
Always wear a helmet when biking, motorcycling, or jumping to conclusions.

Good quote!
But why're you putting the CBR fairings' link on different threads around here?

Re: Helmets

Hey! new to this forum so still figuring out how it works.
I have a budget of around 5-6k and want to buy a decent full face helmet with an internal sun visor. I am aware of the LS2 FF322 series and no other helmets in this range.
Are there any other better helmets in this range? also if you do suggest any other helmet please tell me where i can find it on the internet and the trustable sites from which it can be bought.
Also i wear specs so will the internal sun visor pose a problem?
Also addresses of dealers either in indore or ahemadabad are also welcome.

Hi,

as already discussed on this thread, MT Helmets are a good choice to look out for. I have recently got hold of MT Blade: Isle of Man XTT Helmet with an internal sun visor. Total cost is Rs. 5,650 + 500 (flat rate for shipping charges). The owner of the store Moto 101, Pune Mr. Manish is very helpful and got it delivered at my doorstep within a week from placing the order (I am currently stationed in NE for the time being). Some images of the same:









If getting the right sized helmet when purchasing it remotely/online is what you are concerned about then it is quite easy to measure your headsize using a simple tailor's flexible cloth measuring tape which costs 10 - 15 bucks and providing the details to MT dealers and they will do the rest. i did the same and i am very happy with the purchase infact, i ended up ordering Spartan's Aspida "Ares" full gauntlet gloves later.

They also have different graphics for MT Blade series (MT helmet with Sun Visors) and other alternative options from the same brand at different price bands. MT Blade series is ECE R 22.05 & DOT certified.

If you wish, you can also purchase it from Spartan Pro Gear, Chennai by placing your order online.

Not sure if you meant are they available at all or are they available in stocks as of now ?
But if you meant the former, then yes, tinted visors are available for those models, Then it comes to stock with the dealers, depends on each shop.

I need a SOL or LS2 stockist who can courier me the helmet I want. The prices are unusually high here compared to previous year prices and most importantly am not getting the exact design I want.
I mailed Laxmi Automobiles of Pune regarding my requirements,no reply from their end yet.

I can provide you with contact info of a Helmet shop Kerala(Most of Kerala Xbhp members go gear shopping here), He usually has plenty in stock with him, but the courier charges might be too high to say it a fair purchase. If you are interested to PM me, i can hand over the contact details.

Re: Helmets

A short review on MT Axxis Geo 3:
My previous helmet Volga had given me a good company of about 6+ years. There were no damages, scratches or even a visor change was required all these days, I always close the visor lid while riding.

However when I booked KTM RC 200, my urge for new lid started. Started looking for budget helmets, I was OK with LS2, but due to news about duplicates LS2 was taken out from my list. The next one without many contenders was MT, as every KTM threads and even this Helmets thread was filled with information about MT Helmets.

http://spartanprogear.com/ gave a list of colors and pricing about each models and I locate a store from this website.

Address:
Rydercity
84, Lalbagh Road, Opp MTR Hotel,
Bangalore - 560 027.
Mob: +91 98458 19143
+91 90088 00777
Contact: Mr.Chandra Kanth

This store is located in Lalbagh Road and quite easy to find. The store manager was very prompt and he answered all the questions and never showed discomfort to do any number of trials, models or colors. I will recommend this store for MT Helmets and other Spartan riding gears. They stock all models of MT and they have a good variety of colors as seen in the above website.
I have used this helmet for about 600 KMs and it is used for my daily commute. When I pen down to write a review the cons were more than the good ones, so let the cons go first. The following cons may not be 100% cons, as the helmet has not completed the break-in period. I think the break-in period defines “You will get used to the helmet in a couple of months and you will not complain”.

Here it goes, Cons:
Wind Noise: The big negative in this helmet is Wind noise. As soon as you hit 60+ wind nose creeps in and when you are near 80 the noise becomes a disturbing sound, like someone chasing you closely in a loud bullet!
I think that is because of the aerodynamic design in the picture below, this aerodynamic curve/line starting near your chin and ends near the two exhaust vent at the back. So the air flows through the curve and rolls near the vents might cause that thumper chasing effect.



Vent lock: Air inlet vents are great they work all time, be it open or close!

The store manager said each and every part inside this helmet is removable, I thought that was a compliment/feature, but that was a warning. The breath diffuser often pops up, it will come out even before the helmet comes out of your head!

Ear Pains: Yes, even after a short half an hour ride my ears starts paining. It’s not me alone, there were other members complained the same thing, but these reviews were not found before I make a purchase, my bad! Solution: Cheek pad Break-in, but that will take a lot of time.

Pros:
Light weight
Looks classy
Aerodynamic
No sweats so far, the inside is airy
Visor is dark tinted, I can ride in nights comfortably. Even at place which were pitch dark I never felt the need to open the visor for better visibility. 10/10 rating for this excellent visor.
All round visibility is good.
Double ‘D’ rings were initially confusing and time consuming, now at ease (but not with gloves) and this tings locks firmly.

Would you recommend this helmet to someone? It’s just a 600 KMs review about my experience. With this little usage I cannot say “NO” to others. But even after the break-in the wind noise is not going to reduce, but you will really get used to it. Nowadays that thumper is not chasing me closely LOL.

Few photos, sorry for the quality WhatsApp reduced it:
