Re: Helmets

Anyone?

Help will be appreciated brother's. I'm a complete newbie in this safety gear thing and I don't want to end up with a bad product. Thanks guys.

Hi Mate,
Moto101 is an official distributer for Spartan Pro Gear so you can expect original stock of MT, Kranos, SOL(used to be sold by Spartan).
And from what I have heard they stock a lot of good riding gears, so it is a good shop to start with.

Things to look out for would be,
1. Check for proper branded products, stay away from fakes, since you are going to a official distributer shop you are safe on that aspect.
2. Always try on the gear before buying it, snug fit is of paramount importance.
3. Check if the product suits your weather conditions or riding conditions, ventilation and so on.

And many more things are there,you can read some here, you can contact any of us for help. If you do not get proper insight from thread, use the PM feature.

Cheers

Re: Helmets

Any idea regarding KYT helmets? I tried searching for any information on them in this forum but was unable to find any. I am looking to get the entry level models, or if they are really good, the mid range ones.

Nothing exceptional mate, It looks ok, but the padding on it is below par to other helmets within the same range.

Overall felt to be a bit below average.

For KYT helmets check on YouTube "ride with rahul" he had made the review for kyt helmet. And for other budget helmet check MT Kranos from SPG these are selling like hot cakes.

Re: Helmets

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.

You can get the MT AXXIS for about 4000-4400 though you'll have to buy the tinted visor as an extra.Cross helmet visor Is a tailored fit. I happen to own the AXXIS Limited EVO collection and can vouch for its safety and style😉. Does anyone here know if there is any way of buying a new breath deflector for the helmet anywhere in Kochi. A friend of mine took my helmet and happened to lose the deflector😢. If yes please state the location and price. thank you😊

Thanks KID MONK. I will be visiting the SPG store in Chennai during June. I will check it out and if you need, I can get a breath deflector for you.

Re: Helmets

Can anyone suggest me a place to buy genuine HJC or Airoh helmets in Delhi?

Budget is 8-12k.

Re: Helmets

Valid points,
that's why my post was not to help you on what helmet to take, but instead, what all should be the deciding factor of any helmet you choose and pick the best within your limit.
For point 1,2,3 all the details is here in this thread, you can get the details if you search back a few pages.

Now coming to the actual question, in my personal opinion, helmets worth 2k are not that great when you take serious protection in mind. Bump the budget to 3-4k as your base amount and now you have quite a few options
1)Sparx
2)MT
3)HJC
4)LS2 (Least prefered as there are lots of fakes going around)

If budget can be increased a bit more you have
1)HJC
2)Airoh

then on its the premium segment, which I am not so sure you are interested in , so not mentioning them.

Which one do you recommend if the budget is 8-12k?

Re: Helmets

Airoh definitely..!!

It's super light and gives very good protection, it has the required proper certifications.
But the down side to Airoh is that the visor is very very costly and hard to source, just the visor to replace might cost you 4k or more.

This gives options for HJC models , not the high end varients, but somewhere in the middle models might fit within the budget.

But I won't need to replace the Visor unless I break it right? Its my first helmet purchase for my first bike, hoping to be as safe as possible.
