Re: Helmets

Koi toh batao... where to order KBC helmet parts from? Not getting it from the dealer for past 3 months!!!!!!

Do ask performance racing Mumbai or if you are here in Noida (dont ask how I know it) then ask Redline Racing in Delhi

Where could I find brands like HJC, AGV, ARAI, BELL, Scorpion like brands in chennai.

Is it possible to buy for ~8k. I think they are costly.

HJC = yes
Other = Big No

Whoops [emoji15]

Then MT & LS2 are best helmets in the world. Lol [emoji23][emoji23]

I have seen many international stunt & SBK riders wearing MT & LS2. Even saw a guy wearing LS2 doing a top speed test of 370 on Ninja

What makes these brands costlier than LS2 & MT.

Am personally in love with. MT AXXIS with casino graphics. Decided to buy it But still looking for other options since MT is 4.5k & my budget is upto 8k. Gotta best one with specs

Basic models of Mt or Ls2 are definitely not the best. Different models have different prices and definitely many superbike riders wear these, but most of them wear the best makes of Ls2 and Mt.
Obviously Agv, Arai, Bell and different others are priced high too like different models of Marushin-Daijya, Kbc, Caberg, Hjc, Airoh, Shoei, Nolan, Shark. The reason is their build, safety and quality of standard & protection predicted after crash tests.
Even in Ls2, i think the FF 320 is 10k. There are expensive helmets of Mt too.
According to SHARP-Safety helmet assessment rating programme's crash helmet testing, being rated up to 5 stars to sort the best quality helmets, from a survey of their 5 year collection,the best rated ones this year were Shark, Agv, Bell which was number1, Nolan X-lite, Best makes of Mt, Arai, Nitro and few others.
They rated Ls2 in 13'th position.
The models which we buy in around 5k like Ls2, MT or Sol, Sparx are definitely good for us.

Which Ninja goes to 370?? Just curious

The LS2 in India are all fake, we have had long discussion on different thread on this. use the search feature to get that thread.
Coming to MT, it is value for money but I have heard cases of internal visor becoming loose after some usage (not all models have internal visors)

HJC CR2 ranges at 6500-8k range.

And yes always remember, the more you look for options, the more you will be confused

There are the Marushin helmets which are excellent around 10k. But as suggested by [MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION] ... The more you look the more confusing it gets.

Re: Helmets

With lots of RESEARCH on and offline, 11th March, 16, I bought STUDDS Shifter full face helmet in Matt black L size.

What exactly do they mean by Head Protection Technology? Isn't Head Protection the fundamental purpose of any helmet?

Read somewhere here that Marushin has fakes in India.

Ninja H2R reaches ~370kmph. Saw an video in YouTube.

Yea the more I look the more confusing it is.
Found that MT Revenge has 5 Star rating & just ₹1000 costlier than AXXIS. But when I googled it doesn't look like Spartanprogear sells them.

am confused between AXXIS & Revenge. I live the styling & graphics of AXXIS and now HJC [emoji31]

Re: Helmets

I see a lot of people recommending Studds Shifter, MT Blade and other Dual Visor helmets.

Please note that the convenience of having a tinted Dual visor is not free of cost, and it comes at the cost of safety.

the space taken by the internal sun visor has been carved out of EPS and has to be made hollow-> it means loss of some crash protection material in that region.

SHARP that tests this region clearly shows the forehead region of these dual visor helmets to be more vulnerable,

I personally wear my sunglasses under my helmet, Choose whatever you want but be aware of the pros and cons of your decision.

Ride safe.

Re: Helmets

word of advice , don;t buy it from online store , if you want to buy online , first visit local shop and check size and fitting of the Helmet and finalize the product and order online , else get offline.

Oh, and BTW drop THH from your list , as THH is not at all have good quality compared to other brands in same price range . check in store , you will realize it

Thanks for the suggestion. I will visit a local shop and try them first.

Helmets

Found AGV K3 Rossi Icon helmet for $88 I was like "sweet deal"

Then found that it was XXL 63cms

Here's link if anyone have really big head to cover [emoji6] sadly my size is 57 small [emoji31]

https://www.denniskirk.com/agv/k3-rossi-icon-helmet.p3305321.prd/3305321XXL.sku

Update:

Planned to buy this. AGV K3

https://www.denniskirk.com/agv/white-red-chicane-k3-series-helmet.p3305325.prd/3305325S.sku

And when I added it to cart I thought to check SHARP rating it rated this as 4 Stars but MT Revenge gets 5 Stars.

Confused again [emoji848]

Update:2

On third thought I dropped the idea Cz shipping costs more than helmet price. Shipping costs $110 for basic shipping to $180 for high speed.
