Re: Helmets

Hey guys... I'm new to branded good quality world of helmet...

Recently saw a SMK HELMET... costing me about 3800 bucks... Has bluetooth compatibility...a chin ring...dual visors one full faced another inside like a glass for sun..also padding is removable...

It's the best in the segment. Been using it for abt 10 months and all I can say is it is the best this segment'll offer. If u wanna go for a double d-ring strap, prefer MT Mugello (4250/-) but I'm not sure about the quality of the MTs.

Re: Helmets

Loving the MT Mugello Viper, the comfort is top notch, till 100kmph, could not find any wind noise. Also since I have bluetooth installed and the helmet is quite snug fit, wind noise wont be any problem.

Bell Qualifier, bought it for 10k(15k via import route at the time) a couple of months ago, coming from a MT Blade. If longevity is not an issue then you'd be better going for the MT Revenge as its 5 star Sharp rated compared to the 3 star rating of the qualifier.

Even I am looking to go for Bell Qualifier. Could you help me with couple of questions:
1) Which of the two have better inner lining. Bell Qualifier or MT Blade?
2) How bad is the wind noise? At what speed does it start creeping in?
3) Does Qualifier fog up frequently as MT have tendency to fog up quite easily.

Any other con that you would like to share. Looking to upgrade from SOL Unicorn.

1. Blade has better padding from a quantity perspective. But that being said I'd rather prefer the padding be less felt when using the helmet, in that pov Bell wins hands down.

2. Visor down Bell takes care of most of the wind noise, only issue is the slight whistle made by the thingi on the visor. The blade kinda hums which is weird.

3. Bell doesn't fog up when riding. It doesn't have a deflector but there's a thingi on the visor which takes care of that, that same thing is responsible for the whistle.

Completely from a purpose(safety) fulfillment angle the MT Revenge is the way to go. If ergonomics is given priority then Bell it is.

Blade vs Bell = Bell.
Revenge vs Bell = Revenge.
Purely from the safety POV.

Thanks for the input. Now I do care about safety standards but more important than that I prefer everyday usability. That is why might go for Bell.

Re: Helmets

Have anyone used Nolan helmets, does 3.6kgs feel a bit heavy on touring usage ?

The wind noise is incredibly high on the entry level Nolan lid. My riding buddy had a bad experience with this lid. This was bought from DSG Pune for Rs.14000/-. If you still want to go ahead, PM me and I can work out a good deal for you.

Thank you bro, I really appreciate it. Is there anyother helmet that you know has a less wind noise at the same time within 20k, I know that schuberth is best in that specification however i could not afford it.

You could check out Airoh (made in Italy). The range begins from 14k. I have been using one for five years and no complaints
