Re: Helmets

Hey [MENTION=80682]Nidin[/MENTION]
After trying all available options i have approached the forum and even after account creation there is no place on the site where you can place the order.
I think I will end up buying MT axiss S size if they get the matt black stock here in pune dealership.
Currently matt black S size is out of stock [emoji853]

An kind suggestion. Go for an bright coloured helmet. It ll make your presence good on roads. Guy with Orange helmet is easy to notice than full black.

Thanks shyam for suggestion.
In night riding the utmost important piece required is a reflective material. I wish to go with some customization(whic can be altered anytim)which is only possible on matt black. And for sure i am gonna make use of some reflective material in it.
Again i am looking for tarmac one full black jacket and matt black helmet will compliment it. [emoji16]

Not only in nights. Even in day time it's good to have a bright coloured helmet. Visibility matters. I keep my parking lights on all the time & headlight ON while in highways for this purpose.
An car driver looks for another car while changing the lanes and not bikes. And if you were driving in blind spot area it's real difficult. There are 2 blind spot areas in car IMO.

1. Is diagonally behind the car near rear boot/door an meter away from car.

- (slight off topic)usually drivers in our country adjust ORVM inwards facing cars body Cz most of them thinks that ORVM is for that purpose. In bumper to bumper traffic it's ok but in open roads ORVM's should be faced outwards. Some drivers use an small convex glass in mirrors for this purpose. But without using them it can be perfectly adjusted. Google "how to adjust car mirrors for blind spot"
- Even for bikes mirror adjustments are important. It's not possible to have complete field of vision you either lose what's on your back or side. Best bet (in India where we ride on left) is you have to adjust left mirrors for what's on back & right mirrors for what's on (sides) blind spot.

2. A-pillar of car. No remedies other than playing peek-a-boo inside car.

But in both case of you are visible by brighter gear & headlights on (more important) it's easy to notice.

Even I love full black riding gear which looks cool on road & no need to wash often.

You could buy an full black gear for local rides to parties for show off.

Matt black helmets won't show sexy streamlines of helmet. It looks like vega ₹800 helmet. But that's just my opinion. Go for what you love bro.

Guys looking for modular helmet in 4 to 6k.
Which one should I pick in the market? I have myopia and so wear glasses.



Ls2 - Helmet - Ff 386 Flip Up (matte Black) Size : 58cms

or MT Optimus Solid Flat Black Nero or something else?


I am looking for sun visor and lot of ventilation with eye catchy colors (I need to paint them if not) and modular for sure.

Any one? ANy reviews?

Why going for modular instead of full face helmet ?

Comfort and practicality to be honest. Reviews say when they're locked they will work as intended.

But Fullface helmets have better safety rating than modular.

IMO Modular helmets are ok only for commuting

Even I have myopia, but for me full face doesn't create any problems in ventilation and it's comfortable too. Previously I was using KYT RC7 and currently using MT blade. IMO you should consider full face for safety otherwise in modular you can consider Sol sm2 hyperspace but it's price is around 8k.

Why not LS2 or MT Axiss modulars?

Sorry I don't have any experience of using modular helmets, so can't compare or comment on both these helmets.

Because, however costly a modular helmet may be, a hinge is never as strong as a permanent shell, if you know what I mean!

Re: Helmets

Guys, on a tight budget .. Need to buy a good helmet .
I saw ARES series from Steelbird was looking good .
Is it better than Shifter ? I went to buy shifter but the shopkeeper told me that shifter secondary visor comes down even when you hit a bad road .. Even I saw that by just a bit pressure the whole secondary visor was coming out and falling on the breath deflector. So he told me it can be dangerous.
Please suggest
Shifter Decor : ₹1750
Ares Royal A-1 :₹2100
