Avoid LS2s, MT would be the best choice

Re: Helmets

Among sol and mt whuch model is lighter? Even a few grams would be useful coz i suffer from neck problems. My budget is 5000. Slightly increasable.
I like the blade. Which sol helmet comes in that range? I was planning to get the airoh but the cost of replacement visors is too much.

Helmet Painters and redoing the pads

Does anyone know shops in Chennai that does helmet painting and replacing the lining and pads inside the shell?

I am using MT Axxis Geo 3 - Small, it weighs 1475 gms. ( specification says 1400-1500gms).

from my experience i feel that neck problems are caused by wearing helmet that doesnt fit right!

What i am trying to say is a less weight helmet also causes neck problems or pain when it doesnt fit/sit on your head perfectly, wobbling helmets are pain to use.

try to get a right fit helmet. try before you buy, i bought online because i had no other choice, only SMALL fits me. and i am totally satisfied with the fit and finish of the MT Helmets, they are attractive, safe and comfortable. Prefer Double D ring lock mechanism.

I will try to provide a complete review soon, once i use it for atleast 300kms. cheers!

i cannot comment on SOL, i haven't used one, but they look awesome and are of good quality too i guess! just look at the SOL Metal man, its just beautiful!!

Prateek - not yet. Will be available soon as an accessory. Some Kranos are now available with Iridium visors due to local demand but they're being switched locally. Original ECE certification does not allow any other visor other than clear during inspection.

Sunny, You must be aware of the recent law passed in TN for making helmet mandatory. Is it a must that only ISI helmets needs to be used. one of my friend , who is using a MT Axxis Geo 4, which he got from spartan, was caught by cops for the helmet design and fined him 100 rs for not wearing a ISI branded helmet.

We know the importance of the DOT, ECE ceertification...but, will our cops buy the story ? I am not sure if we can find such ISI helmet with this design or graphic. Does Vega provide such helmets with similar graphics to LS2 or MT.

I wanted to buy a MT helmet, but after hearing this, I am thinking of holding on to the RE helmet which I bought from the store itself.

Re: Helmets

I recently bought MT Axxis Geo3 and i had done lot of research and contacted like most of the sellers!

just sharing some info,

MT Helmets:

I bought from moto101 mumbai, contacted the seller and made payment. got to know that MT Revenge Models are out of stock! no idea when they will be imported again! ( these are words directly from the seller). check SpartanProGear website, they list all the models and sizes but availability i am not sure! in fact moto101 shipped helmet also had the spartanprogear price tag on it, so all these sellers procure their stock from the SPG.


on SOL Helmets, i did similar inquiry.

i tried contacting SOL india via Facebook, i got a call on my mobile. I was looking for SOL Metal Man - Small Size, but they are not in stock!!

only SOL unicorn models were in stock! i had no interest for the unicorn, so didn't inquire much!

seller mentioned that they will be coming by end of the month ( so you can check may be in the first week on July).

Hope it helps!

Re: Helmets

Due to ISI stuff in chennai , I am going to buy known good Indian brand.
Vega Axor does come with dual visor?
Studds shifter does come with one tinted visor inside and plan visor outside.

I do like Axor design better, but i feel there might be wind noise due to the top vent. Kindly suggest between the two.
