Re: Help needed for picking a helmet....

thanks all for this wonderful forum, almost read entirely.

zero down to SOL SM1 matt black. ordered one. awaiting the delivery. will post pic soon.

I think, its most important kind of gear. Your head is the most vulnerable when it comes to accidents; whenever a biker falls off his bike, one of the first things which must be protected is your head. For this to happen, one needs a sturdy and good quality helmet. Few things need to taken under consideration while choosing helmets:

Get The Right Shape And Size:Replace It At The Right Time: No one will tell you this, but the life of helmets only is till a period of time, after which they need to be changed.

Enough Ventilation: While selecting motorbike riding helmet make sure that it has proper ventilation.Don't buy something that leaves no room for ventilation.

I have recently purchased three Shark helmets from the High Note Performance, one for myself, another for my girlfriend and one for my best friend. They have diverse range made it easier to select. Shark Range of helmets is perhaps the best.

Cheers...!!!!

Re: helmet problem

I had experienced severe pain near my ears and head when I started wearing helmets.I had to stop riding and take off the helmet every 30 min or so to relax.
I had selected tight fit helmet according to guidance videos on the youtube.Was kicking myself.But the sponge got loose after a while and after my first wash the headache and ear pain totally stopped. Dont feel a thing now.i suggest you bear it for a while and wash the sponge if necessary.

Main reason for this is the incorrect head shape ,seems like you have bought a MT axxis which a very long Oval head shape, which 95% of the people in India wont have.
Thats why i bought the Kranos which can fit most of the head shapes even though i could afford the Axxis, which you have to go atleast 2 sizes up to get a comfort fit.

For more info on head shapes see this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUX_wQnW3Ec

Re: Helmets

Hi guys,

I've had the AGV K5 for a year now. And I really need to clean the lining - it's beginning to develop an unbearable stench. I had no idea that the lining had to be cleaned as frequently as every month. Now I have no idea what to use to clean the liner. I do not want to compromise on its basic function - sweat wicking, nor do I want to compromise the feel of the material.

What do you guys use to clean the liners on your helmets?

Soak in warm water mixed with Johnsons baby shampoo for half hour or more. Mildly brush out any stains using a toothbrush. Then rinse in warm clean water. Squeeze dry gently. Allow to dry naturally.

Re: Helmets









Anyone using this exact same design from Ls2?

I just want to see few pics and review about the fitting.
I'm currently using LS2 Phobia from 2 years and it's been awesome!

Also, where in Delhi I can get genuine LS2 helmet?
Any shop name or contact info?
