Guys looking for a new helmet, currently using Studds Scorpion.
Is this helmet a good buy or should I opt for Studds Shifter?
where can I get a clear visor for that Axor?

You can buy the Shifter. Its a very good brain bucket imho. Strangely gets totally ignored in the midst of numerous foreign brands which no doubt are exceptional in quality. Studds have really upped their quality standards of late and unless one is into riding at mach level speeds, it would protect the head just fine.

The Studds Scorpion is a grade above the Shifter, so you would in effect be down-grading, though both are decent helmets. I would advise staying away from the P6 as its commercial future is doubtful and spares might become an issue. The A2 might be a better idea.

Re: Helmets

Anyone bought a spare Kranos visor? Do they have tinted/mercury finish visor?

Re: Helmets

Despite their claims, AXOR is NOT made in Italy or even remotely Italian - unless you consider Belgaum to be part of Italy. Their website is registered in Belgaum and is owned by Vega, who imports the components and assembles the helmet in India. The P6 was a commercial failure, while the A2 is very popular, hence the heavy discounts to get rid of stock. Incidentally, the street price of the P6 is Rs.3200/- and not Rs.5000/-.

Thanks so much for the valuable info Sunnyside_up,

They have a 70% sale going on for the AXOR 'Imported' models. The A2 is not 'imported' and does not get that discount, sells for its mrp of Rs 2690 same with the A1.
Imported Range

while the AXOR FP6-D/V, AXOR P-2-D/V, etc are from the 'imported' range and have an MRP of Rs 4994/-. So after 70% off they are available for Rs 1498/- each. Are they a good buy at that price or is one still better off buying something like the Studds Shifter or Axor A1 for around Rs 1800.

With th P6 at Rs 1498/- and A2 at Rs 2600/- which do you recommend?

I have the same query as yours, are these good or better opt for Studds, Vega ?

Personally I would buy at that price. But be aware that spares may be an issue in the future.

Thanks, bought a couple
Hope they turn out safe enough, though wish real need never arises!

Re: Helmets

Suggest me a helmet around 4-6K . I can't order from foreign countries. But any Indian online site would help. Spartan pro gear is nice but it says I can't pay via Debit/Credit card and I've to pay via draft of something(hassle).
If you can provide the link of product (Indian), it'll be icing on top of cake.
BTW can anyone give me the link of MT AXXIS Atom
