  • Re: Helmets

    Whats the point of explaining people when they would still believe that "company outlet" cant dupe and still argue that they are correct. People here have given them enough reasons for the questions.

    @Sunnyside_up! : Saw the red white Kranos y'day here in Delhi, must say beautiful looking helmet. Please arrange for other visors too, as the dealer here have no idea about smoked ones (Chopra,Delhi)

      Same here in Bangalore, searched a lot of places for the MT, couldn't find them at all.

        Hey guys as suggested by members earlier I am going to get a Helmet from Mumbai.

        I am thinking of going to moto101 since a lot of you guys seem to recommend this shop to others. Anything I should look out for? Any other place maybe?

        Thanks a ton guys!

          Krishna - it's a demand/supply gap. MT/Kranos demand is way beyond any predictions or forecasts made by the company. Last Axxis and Blade containers were sold out before they reached shore due to pre-orders. SPG is scrambling to meet the shortfall and fresh stocks should be in dealer stores in a couple of weeks. Visors and cheek pads too.

            Are the tinted or iridium visor for Kranos available?

              Why is MT Kranos so much in demand? Is it the best in its range in terms of safety/value?

              Btw I own LS2 phobia as of now, kinda bored of it. Not that i hate it, but i wish to upgrade provided i get the following advantages compared to LS2 under 5000 bucks:
              Slightly less heavy
              Lesser wind noise
              Air vents (at least as effective as LS2)
              Availability of spare visors online

              I am not looking for the built in sunglasses type helmets, a simple full face helmet would suffice.

                Exactly same story here. Owned an LS2 Phobia before this.

                  Is Laxmi Automobiles the sole distributor of LS2 in India? Where can I find genuine LS2?

                    Go for Some other brands Speedy, MT, Sparx, HJC so on so forth.
                    Style wise too LS2 is getting pretty far behind.
                    Time to think higher.

                      Actually I need to physically checkout the helmet size before purchase.and the dealers here are stocking nothing but Vega,Steelbird and LS2. I have used LS2 Phobia original for 2+ years and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! My requirements are: Dark/tinted visor, No wind noise, snug fit and price within 4500.

                        Increase a lil bit and you can get MT / SOL or even old stock of Sparx

                            Thanks @prateek2210 and @Deathmate.Zed. I just checked out the Sparx website. There are no Sparx dealers in West Bengal. I will be going to Chennai very soon for a small trip. Can you suggest any shop and also the price range?

                              Go to Spartan Pro gear and try out the spg Kranos(or kronos?) and other MT helmets. Price starts from 3350/-.
