    What we get here is China made shells that may or may not conform to the certifications/standards printed on the helmet.
    Oh, so any other suggestion under 4-5k with red colour[emoji28]

        • OT : Post may be deleted if mods feels so.

          For quite some time I have been noticing members posting queries of "What Helmet in xyz range?"
          I have no issues in them asking for this, but have ever tried searching the thread. Most of the time, or rather 90% of the times the same question has been answered in the last 10pages of the thread.
          This might not be an issue to them, but for us answering same questions again and again does question our patience.
          I cant comment for everyone but being here on this forum for ages, it IS actually monotonous answering same questions again and again. Whats wrong in investing just few more minutes and search it?

          If searching doesn't help, Google can be of best help with some to the point keywords will definitely help.

          This post is not aimed towards any particular member but has been written in general.

            I think it's time to create sub forum under helmets , like under 3k, under 5k, 10k, and exotics. Moderators plz comment.

              all the threads were merged some time back so that people have all the info in a single thread.. if everybody is expecting to be spoon fed with a direct answer and they dont get it then its not the members fault.. like it was pointed out most of the queries are repetitive and most likely have been asked and spoon fed a few pages back.. just read a few pages.. who knows maybe one can find a better alternative also.. No offense to anyone intended..
              Cheers

                MT Blade is polycarbonate shell and light weight. I've recently picked up the Blade Boss white/red graphics and the wind noise is much lower the SOL. It weighs around 1.5kgs but feels like 1.4kgs. I've picked up the model with internal sun visor but I'll suggest to get the one without sun visor. It's 500 rs cheaper and the no compromise on shell/padding thickness to accommodate sun visor. Visit their FB page for more info. Hope it helps.

                  MT Kranos costs 3.3K and better in quality than the latest LS2. Doesn't come with Sun visor but comes with quality and weighs only 1.35+/-1.45kgs

                    Thanks for the reply for such an old query!!
                    From what I read around some other internet forums, is that FiberGlass helmets are far more superior that their polycarbonate counterparts, but cost a lot too.

                    When queried a helmet shop here in Pune camp area for HJC helmets, he was adamant that MT Blade(Apparently Polycarbonate made) is far more superior that the cheap(10K - 20K) HJCs (Some of which are fibreglass made) and said all HJCs except their RPHA range are useless plastic helmets.
                    He was advertising the MT brand so much as if he is their brand ambassador!!

                    I'm comparing here MT Blade with the HJC CL 17 head to head , excluding their graphics and price.

                      Steelbird : SB series falls in this range, there wide range can be seen on their site

                      LS2 : Available at almost 2600-2700 range but I personally would ask to stay away from the fakes

                      Sparx : Old Sparx models are still available in market without bill in 3000-3500range
                      Some old models of SOL falls in the same range

                      For the time being I have compiled few of the helmets , if I missed any please let me know via PM or Visitor message so that I can edit this post

                      P.S : I really hope now there wont be same questions again and again regarding helmets falling in this range.

                      • Helmets

                        ^^, Can you suggest good helmet for city runabouts on scooty, the main criteria is it should fit in the underseat storage, and second is safety/quality and last but not the least it should be a full face lid.
                        Pricing range should be in the first bracket. I have a sparx for my bike duties. This will be just a city runabout helmet.
                        Edit: The helmet query is for TVS Jupiter

                          If I know right only suzuki swish came with the biggest storage. Helmets in that range are lil bigger, do try vega corah or formula hp, they are little smaller than others.
