Helmets

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.

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.

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

Re: Helmets

[MENTION=33615]Bullet[/MENTION].. This question should have been asked before the purchase. Now that you have bought it, I hardly doubt the shopkeeper taking it back in case its a fake. Pray that you never get into an accident.

I actually went through the entire Fake LS2 thread before the purchase. But the only online mentioned seller on that thread is OOS. So took a chance.

1st pic. is from the back of the helmet, then the insides, near the strap & finally the visor.
