Re: Helmets

Hi Guys,

I have recently bought a RS200. Forgive my lack of knowledge over the matter, I would like to solicit your assistance in zeroing on a DOT branded helmet (light weight & having good ventilation) & a pair of gloves for city riding. My built is on a higher side as a result would like a bigger sized head gear. Budget is not on a higher side.

Kindly share your views.

Regards,
Abheyjit

Re: Helmets

AFAIK the shell of scorpion and Shifter is same. only difference is the aerodynamic property of shifter and a secondary sun visor, these are the visible difference.

To test the product, once must have a accident and then give the conclusion of which of the studds helmet is better , but jokes apart you cannot go wrong with the Studds helmet. Stay away from Vega they are just for asthetics.

And as you said your budget is around 2300rs, I suggested Shifter and I guess @payeng had brought a Studds shifter helmet and he had put up a nice review of the helmet. You might want to check post number #14436 in the helmets thread.

Both shells are different. The quality of the Scorpion's shell is better.

Request you all to share your valuable inputs.

i too am looking for a reliable helmet.

studds helmets seem to be a good option. ~ 2000

slightly more pocket heavy would be Sol ~ 4000

A little higher would be MT ~ 5000-6000

ensure u don't buy online, ensure you go to a proper authorised shop and TRY the helmets before purchasing one

all the best, and share your experience here

Re: Helmets

I don't understand why we everytime say "search the thread". Why don't we just close the thread and keep searching as all answers are already there... Don't start a fight now because that's another thing that we usually do... Happy new year.

Check out if your regional Bike gear stores are selling KRANOS helmets that are manufactured by MT on demand by SpartanGear. They are the cheapest DOT and ECCE certified helmets you can currently find. However they are a relatively newer breed and they donot have any crash test results so take my suggestion with a pinch of salt.

Helmet costs 3350 (atleast the model that I bought). I believe currently the price has shot up to 3750.

Spartan ProGear | Product

Go to page 3 on the link above to find teh Kranos helmet. Also there is a issue with the people who are running that website. Its not updated regularly because one of the regional stores that I buy my gear from, they stock various graphic designs of the helmet which are not visible on the website. So keep that I mind.

Re: Helmets

During my recent crash, my Ls2 FF384 had taken a minor impact below the visor in the front and another impact at the back of the helmet, so I decided not to take a chance and get myself a new helmet
I went to Megha enterprises in bangalore yesterday to buy the MT axxis and found that they did not have the color which I wanted. Then he showed me the MT blade super R and i was pleasantly surprised to know that it had the pin-lock ready visor.
The helmets I considered were MT blade, MT axxis, Sol metal man, Sol unicorn and Kranos:
-The kranos actually has good build quality but I did not go for it as it misses out on a chin curtain.
-I felt the inner padding of the mt helmets were of better quality and finish that the sol helmets, hence I dropped sol helmets from the list.
-Now I had to decide between spending 4.5k on the mt axxis and close to 6k for the mt blade.
-The mt blade comes with a internal sun-visor so there is no need for a separate tinted visor. Whereas the MT axxis does not have the internal sun-visor and I would have had to purchase a separate tinted visor which was 700-800 odd bucks if I heard the price right.
-Also the mt blade has built-in earphone pockets which is missing in the mt axxis.
So all these poiints made me go for the mt blade super R over the axxis, a few pics of my helmet:
