Re: Helmets

Hey all, this is Parth from Hyderabad. I am using LS2 FF322 Voltage helmet, it is very sturdy, mid heavy, and reliable. it has a dark glass goggle visor for day use and normal clear visor, however I ordered the mercury tinted visor as well for enhancing the looks of the helmet. Check out my pics.The helmet looks very nice Vega JK 07 Motorcycle jacket

This is Parth again, just to add to my reply, I also use MT Axxis Braking helmet (electric blue) which is DOT approved and has D ring fastener for extra safety. Trust me the helmet is comparatively lightweight yet very reliable one and due to its D ring is secured very well for safety purpose. posting a few pics of mine (not very good resolution although). I bought an extra iridium visor for enhancing the looks of the helmet.

Hi, I am from Hyderabad as well, precisely Kukatpally area, but nowadays I see people wearing LS2 and good high end helmets. I am one of them of course. i see more riders with good helmets during office time going towards itech area. If you looking for M size MT helmets, I know a shop in KPHB area. its called bikeopedia. i got my MT helmet medium size from there only. I do not think that s size or xs size helmet is available in market. haven't seen anywhere. also you can check out adventure on the rocks (zeus shop).

This forum has some really good information and tips! Thanks to the xbhp community.

I have gone through all the 1300+ pages of this section :P and still counting! there is some great information in here!!

I am from hyderabad and its strange that i did not see a single LS2 or SOL or MT helmets on the Roads! most of the people dont wear helmets or stick with the Vega/Studds/Steelbird and some local made ones!

Is it due to the unavailability of those high quality helmets or ignorance! i guess its ignoranace, even i have a Vega eclipse helmet which is not at all comfortable and cause me head an neck pains! owing to the unavailability of size had to get a M! even i did not care much before but after going through this thread i have got that knowledge and now i am sure i can invest in good gear! like i read somewhere that one should spend minimum 25% of their bikes values on the gear! i guess its true!

So, do we get XS/S sizes in the LS2/SOL/MT brands in Hyderabad! i dont see any such sizes listed on snapdeal/amazon/flipkart!! only L and XL available!!

Please advice. Thanks for the great inputs guys! xbhp rockS!

Guys.. which coloured tinted visors are best for night riding...

I use the MT axxis braking helmet with iridium tinted visor daily, personal experience, the tinted visor does not create any problem even in night riding in my MT helmet, I use it almost daily. no problem in roads or overbridges with streetlights. Only in very dark areas, where there is no light at all and no street lights, you can put up the visor. cheers!!!

Re: Helmets

Hello guys,
I'm residing in Bangalore & currently in need of a good helmet with plenty of ventilation. I rounded up by selecting these two models -
1. AGV K3 SV multi rookie and
2. Airoh T600
I would very much like to have your opinions regarding comfort, quality and ventilation on the same. Also, my head size is 59cm and more of a round to square face. My previous helmet was a Vega Modular which looked great to a first time rider a couple of years back. I am now fed up with it and never want to go with the entry level helmets ever again. I wanted to either purchase a 3/4th one or a modular one again and while looking for a good helmet I stumbled on this forum. Saw the numerous posts only on helmets and was overwhelmed by it. I also got to know more about the various safety standards and the various helmets based on the price range. WOWieee!!!! Finally decided to go with the full face ones mentioned above.
My concern would be on the ventilation of these two models, their build quality, their availability here in Bangalore & after sales services.
Thank you for your valuable opinions.

Regards.
A Second time Rider.

Hi Captain, should I say Aye Aye captain

In the picture I am wearing simple Armstar boots with good high sole. as we cannot wear those specific motorbike racing boots daily for commute, I prefer leather boots always as it saves me from feeling the heat from the bike.

I also use high ankle boots often.

got my boots from snapdeal, you can check for armstar boots and get a variety of model, also delize boots available in snapdeal are very good.
cheers mate!

Re: Helmets

I can't believe i am spending 6-8 hours of my day on this forum everyday!!! I think this is the first time i have spent so much time on any site that doesn't have hot chicks!! :P ( no offense )

Well thanks for all the information here and the expert advices! Now to my questions, this might have been repeated zillion number of times on this forum, please excuse me if i its already been addressed and try to help answer me!

1) I have a small head, I dont see any SMALL sizes available on flipkart/snapdeal/amazon for the SOL/LS2/MT helmets! does any of the stores sell them or they dont import these sizes at all, what are my chances of getting a small good helmet in HYDERABAD? i can spend around 5K if i get one for my liking! Please suggest.

2)There is a thread i bumped into about the Originality of the LS2 Helmets, for that matter all the imported helmets. some one please advice from their ownership experience which ones are authentic!

3) Any checklist availalbe or things to note before making a helmet purchase ( again on identify the fakes in the market).

Please help me, now after going through this forum, i am not all interested in going for vega/studds and others. Sorry, i dont have anything against them infact i use vega eclipse and it served me well. but i think its time to go for a better protection!!

Appreciate your responses and will be looking at this thread every 5 mins in desperation for answers!!

Thank you XBHP, you are making me a better rider everyday!

Re: Helmets

LS2 is best left alone as it is almost impossible to spot the fakes !
Small sizes are imported and a visit to the local 'authorized' helmet distributor should have you hooked to the correct size of a genuine helmet.
Check the websites of the brands for distributor list near your place. If there is no list. Use the 'contact us' link and ask them for the name of the distributors in India and proceed.

The SPG Kranos is one option that comes to my mind with respect to your requirements. Also the MT range. SOLs maybe.
