Helmets

Re: Helmets

I won't comment on the smoking part but you prefer risking your jaw on just a hinge of the helmet?

My friend had the same helmet, two years back he met with severe accident and when he hit the ground, that hinge broke and resulted in heavy damage on his jaw.

Its all about comfort. Some are comfy with full face, some with modular while some like open face. Yea safety might be compromised. But then, a better control over bike makes you live a longer life.

So better control over bikes is the only thing?? Then in that case, motogp and isle of man tt racers should never wear helmets or do you think you are above them even?
Or your bike and your control over it came with a stamped paper that nothing will happen to you?

No sir. But then that is also one of the important things. And like I said it is also a matter of comfort for those who wears what. The man asked for a modular helmet, so I suggested. If he would ask for a full helmet, I would suggest full helmet. His question was to which "Modular" helmet to buy in his price range, not what "Type".
Yet I do hope he takes what makes him feel safe.
Safe riding.

I sense your frustration here. But then I don't think that I am above him or anyone.
Anyways hope you have a great day.
Thank you for showing the downside of modulars.

Re: Helmets

Really !!!! Oh man...
That is some serious insight. I would definitely give full face a shot now.
Thing is i have been using a boolean vega for 10 yrs now and have been super happy with it. So convinient, that i thought all modulars must be like that...
Your insight is super helpful. Going to karol bagh market this saturday.
Thanks again....

Avoid modulars/ flipups if you really want safety.

You also wrote better control over bike is of utmost importance. I answered to that.

Trust me kid, there is no frustration. I wont even blink an eye, if someone looses his jaw. I have gone over this topic numerous times and now I can just "type" what should be done and what should not be done.

Double d ring is there but no chin curtain. TR1 model have all options like double d ring,chin curtain and internal visor. It costs 10K. But it is not SNELL certified.

Re: Helmets

i bought this Zeus helmet from Karol Bagh, Chopra Automobile store. its got a double visor and a provision to attach the anti fog visor (not sure if thats what you call it).
its manufactured in Taiwan as mentioned in the casing in 2017 itself. Mrp was rs 6500 got it for 6000rs after sweet talking in the shop. its got only ECE certificaton. i am not bothered though. it fits me really well. weighs 1680 gms, seems heavy but i dont find it heavy while wearing it. also it has double d ring and a chin curtain.

Can you please elaborate on why flipups should be avoided if we really want safety?

Imagine your face in the helmet and "just a hinge" saving your whole face?

Please post a review of the helmet, as Zeus helmet International is a very reputed company. (But this Zeus Helmet brand has nothing to do with Zeus gear company that sells in India and does not have any connection with the helmet brand :P)

Double D is really good. Let us know about the padding of the helmet and fitting. Also is the padding removable? I want to buy one soon and was planning to go this weekend and check one for myself.

ECE is good enough, do not fall for all that jazz of ECE and DOT (coz I have read much in detail about the same and its is ALMOST the same. It is just that when a brand wants to sell in the US market they have to get DOT certification and when they have to sell in the European market it needs to be ECE certified. I saw an Aria Helmet owned by my friend (Original) and it has only ECE.

I am considering SMK, MT and Zeus for now. Ls2 Helmets are really good too, but only if you know you are getting the real one coz a lot of fakes are doing the round.

Re: Helmets

Hi all,

I am buying Suzuki Gixxer SF-FI(Blue). Which helmet should I buy with it. Is Gixxer helmet good enough, it matches the graphics on bike but it is an off-road helmet. If not, please suggest good helmet in price range of INR2000, which also matches with bike like the Gixxer one.

Thanks.

don't go with the gixxer helmet, I'm having it, it is heavy and not suitable for long ride. because of these problems I bought thh dot certified helmet, this is worth the money I spent
