    • Planning on getting Kranos Imola Future

      Hey guys, I'm planning on getting Kranos Imola Future Vapor Matt Helmet (Orange). It costs Rs. 3750 on their website. What do you guys think about this helmet? Is Kranos and its Imola Future good enough?

          Looks nice buddy.
          Waiting for a detailed review after usage.

          Btw did you consider any other options too.
          Have heard of chopras.
          What other tempting options were available there?
          (curious)

            Selling helmet just because you cant fix chin mount??
            Youtube is filled with videos showing how to fix chin mount on curved surface and if not in the middle, slight left or right positions are also there

              Which of them is quiter at high speed? Say like 100-120?

                  its big as well.. I am not comfortable driving it while on long rides. Hence selling it.

                    I had other options as well, personally I did not want to go LS2, my budget was limited and this is the best I could get in it.
                    Options were SOL unicorn and MT Blade but both were way over my budget, SOL fitting and cushioning was good.

                        You're either deep pocketed, or you don't know what to do with all that money hanging around eh.
                        Finding a flat spot/chin mount on a helmet is comparatively a hard proposition. Usually all helmets have a taper in front as the shell itself goes sideways to the cheeks and being a blunt front end helmet isn't going to help around aerodynamics either. Think of it is a blunt front end airplane trying to fly, just so you get the idea. You can either adjust the adhesive end slightly off chin either, left nor right so that you have solid adhesion. The position is not going to cause a massive difference in camera angle anyway.

                        Cheers!

                        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                            Got the Kranos Imola Future Matt (Orange) today. I bought the M size, provides a snug fit. Although it is M, it is quite big.. much bigger than the display image. I think sweating might be an issue, with the weather in Madurai is getting worse day by day. Have to wear a head wear/bandana/kerchief to absorb the sweat, I guess. Will try to post a detailed review soon.

                              Regarding the place to visit, I think you can take a look at a place called Moto 101, opposite to MTR Hotel on Lalbagh Road and also you can check out Let's Gear Up at HSR Layout, both these places have all the riding gears under one roof reasonably priced and good quality.

                                Only reason is because there are lot of Fakes in the market and LS2, I find personally is purchased by everyone.
                                Secondly If your budget permits go with SOL and MT brand of helmets, even Kranos is good.
