      Woah!! Up till now I was thinking of going for MT Blade or waiting for soon to be launched modular MT Atom helmet. But may as well go for FF386! It's modular and has a Sharp 4 rating compared to MT Blade 3 star rating for the same price.

                    The rating is little tricky. Sharp rating defines FF386 but no chin impact data showcased in their site.

                          if I have to put my money on helmet. I would rather buy something that has got reviews rather than one whose distributor/dealer himself has no idea about the product
                          And with so many options in the market now, I would not stick to any particular brand

                            Any leads?

                              Modular no, unless it's a Schuberth. At 5K price range, why bother someone with carrying the weight, it would make more sense if you were ordering a high quality helmet at the 20-30K mark, those helmets are exorbitantly priced here. Also, it would be better if you bought locally for your correct head sizing, rather than find out later that the imported helmet doesn't fit correctly.

                                Modular helmet....strict no from my end. You can get MT, SOL, KYT, Sparx, Kranos here in the same price range.
                                I would trust a full face anytime than modular helmet with hinge protecting my jaw and face.
