Re: Helmets

D Ring is much more safer than fastners. Choice is yours, safety or convenience?

Re: Helmets

Any suggestions on quality modular helmet guys? I am from Kolkata and ride a AS200. It is hot, humid, dusty and I have been gifted an Ares A1 when I got my ride. It has been 3 months and this lid is very, very uncomfortable. I need a modular but not Vega, Studd or similar cheaply made lids. I have eyes on the MT and SMK with a Budget not beyond 8K. I need something which doesn't has condensation issue or fogging due to breath. Not very silent, neither noisy. I prefer clear visors and it HAS to be comfortable. Right now I feel like my head in a Microwave smaller than my head. I use a bandana to cover my mouth and nose, the helmet has caused skin rashes on my face.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Safe Riding!

Hi. I am from Kolkata and I use a MT Axxis Helmet. MTs are pretty comfortable. They cost about half of your budget. Head over to B. P. Roadies and after trying out a few helmets, buy the one that fits right. Happy Riding!

Okay. I'm unaware of how the quick release types are unsafe. AFAIK, they don't unlock on a fall.

Re: Helmets

I'm using a LS2 full face helmet from last 3 years. Now during few long rides I felt that after riding approx 500kms or more I'm having back neck pain, just below the head.

Is it due to the weight of the helmet that is 1.5Kgs or there could be some posture issue of riding? Any suggestions?

BP Roadies is fine but do check Wellington for more options. I'm not able to recall the name of the store who sells decent amount of good brand helmets in Wellington, they are the official dealer of Cramster.

Thanks for the response brother. I had been to B. P. Roadies and unfortunately Bunty bhai was on a tour and the guys there had no idea what I was talking about. I had went to him to buy everything, gear, lights, AUX lights, etc. Returned with a 3M microfiber (they charged me MRP) and the replaced the scratched visor on the existing Ares. I have messaged him on FB and he took my whatsapp details too but never reverted.

I am not very keen on stepping into unknown territory. I have heard if you are a newbie they sense it and make a fool out of you. I have never been there and most people in this business are not honest. I would rather stick to places I know. Trust me, I am told it's a biker paradise and I am very curious to visit that place but, I am scared to be conned.

Just because you never ventured into one , will you never try it.

What you said or have in your mind is not correct for showrooms which actually exists in Wellington. I'm not saying you go and look around into those footpaths who sells cheap helmets.

You should visit 'Motor & Cycle Supply Stores' this is just at the front of Wellington market and they are the official seller of Cramster and other brands.

And yes, that BP Roadies at Khanna sometimes purchase some stock from this store.

So if you are looking for a good international brand helment you have only three options IMO, i.e. Online, Wellington, Khanna (BP Roadies only)

Re: Helmets

Hello all,
My head size is little small and I have a thin built. Medium size(580mm) studds and vega helmets looks big on me.
Any smaller helmet I can get under 2k ?

Re: Helmets

You can check Gear up, near jaggubazar in Kolkata.
I own an ls2, MT Mugello, and Kranos ffh and my advice is stay away from ls2. They don't come close to MT in terms of finishing and quality.
But, do check out both gear up and B. P. Roadies for premium helmet. Wouldn't suggest wellington for non-Isi brands.

Bro, dude, I guess you have the ability to get an idea when I mentioned I am looking for quality stuff and I know that I won't get it on footpath. I am in an industry where I don't get off from work easily, by the time I am free shops are shut and so it is difficult for me to ride to BP and find no one capable to assist. I am not good at bargaining and quality of product they sell you (if you don't have the knowledge) is doubtful. Yes, I will visit someday and try this experience but, I am sure the kind of gear that we discuss here is not exactly what we get there. It is mostly an accessory market for Bikes.

I understand your point. Your best option would be online shop I guess. You will definitely get a lot variety in online stores rather in offline. Do let us know about your purchase mate.

Re: Helmets

For 5k price.

THH or MT. Which one is recommendable?

[Vishal_G]

Re: Helmets

MT over THH at any price range. Even kranos at 3250 is a better buy.
