  • Re: Helmets

    Sharing pictures of my Indian brand Aaron hybrid helmet, I do have respectable branded full face helmets like MT axxis and LS2 FF358, but had to go for a quick shopping of a hybrid model (low budget) so that I could open the front portion of the helmet during scorching heat and traffic jams of Hyderabad. One more reason of buying this helmet at first look was the Dragon.... I was looking for a helmet with dragon motif since sometime, LS2 dragon etc. are all out of market it seems, so got this at a affordable price of 1500/- including the iridium visor. Sasta and tikau but a word of caution: the visor is not as good as MT visor (of course the helmet is not even half the price) anyways, not intending to use it very regularly as prefer using better brands, but during Hyderabad summer, yes... as it is easy, lightweight and gives some more air when required to cool off when stranded in midst of horrible traffic jam, literally crawling in 1st gear to reach office. also Featured are my Cramster Breezer 4S mesh riding jacket and my DSG revive gloves.

      Imported Range

      just wanted to help, if its useful to you. I have not used vega axor but using vega offroad, I am as such staisfied. cheers mate!
      Thankyou very much. I am checking the range. Some people in the review says, the helmet fit is not good has side shake. That is a worry but with 50% off then its a good VFM. Do you have any idea about the visor price.
      I have checked the size and all Axor has only Large size

            In full face models you have Studds Shifter, retails around 1800/- and in modular type Vega Boolean at around 1800/- and Studds Ninja at around 2500/-. (Some prices are from online stores so may vary). LS2, MT cost more than 5k.

            Studds Shifter js a good well made helmet. I was to buy one, but they don't make small size. Only medium, large and xl and many shops sell only large size. [emoji17]

                I agree. The Shifter is a a very decent product for the money and I would recommend it over anything else in the similar price bracket. Unfortunately as far as sizing is concerned, it is not likely that you will find any size other than large.

                    In that bracket there is no helmet that is worth spending on for your precious head.

                      Does Kronos come in small size because I could find small size on SPG website. I am planning to buy a new lid and MT Axis or Kronos are on my list. But small size availability is a major decision maker.

                      I know that it's a OT, but wanted your opinion on Helios and Icarus jackets. I have fairly lean and smallish build. My concern is about the style of both jackets. Which one would suit me more since I have read here that helios suits more to guys with healthy build and icarus to lean build. Is this correct? Also does icarus come in small or xs size as it not mentioned on website.

                      Sorry for the OT and lengthy query, but thought is more convenient to ask in a single query.

                        Yes, the Kranos does comes in small size. The spg site is never updated. Go check in moto 101 store near your place.

                        And for the jacket, yes the Helios is nice for big build and Icarus for lean build. I am using helios for few months now and its great jacket. But after the recent price hike, i just feel that both jacket have lost its vfm. You can check other jackets like Rhynox, Dsg, Zeus and also Solace.

                          Thanks. Will check at Moto 101, Pune.

                          As for jackets, will check out Rynox. Was considering DSG Evo, but read review about bad quality and after sales service. I am in Pune so have direct presence of DSG, but still a bit hesitant about buying their product.

                              Guys, anyone knows how to find which shell size is used in MT helmets(I mean are there any markings on it or something?)..

                              Please note: I am not talking abt he helmet size which will be stamped on the back of the helmet. I am referring to the shell size..

                              Thanks in advance..searched everywhere couldnt find anything on the same.

                                HI, the visors are available in vega website, howevr I dont think visors are available for the imported range they are selling. have a look

                                AXOR HELMET VISORS

                                as far as fit is concerned, I think I saw a vega axor in one helmet shop, the helmet looked quite big, I did not try the fit on myself, as I was not interested in their designs. if I ever try once, will let you know.
