Helmets

Re: Helmets

Hello fellow riders,
Bought FZ25 a few days back and now I'm looking for a helmet.

Previously I was using Steelbird (Adonis) with my Passion Pro. The helmet is so light(<900gm) but can't really comment on the quality part considering it's a 900 Rs. helmet.

Being a student I'm quite tight on budget. Can you guys please suggest me some best buy near around 3k-4k or should I raise the budget (which is kinda difficult).

TIA, open to all suggestions!

Re: Helmets

I am quite novice in terms of good helmets floating around. I have been using a studds half face helmet while riding my pulsar 150. Recently i have upgraded to dominar and wish to buy a new helmet:

- which covers full face
- has good protection against worst of impact given that i will use this bike on highways for touring/exploring purpose.
- has decent ventilation and less likely to fog up with breath.
- Budget is set to up to 9k INR.

You've got a lot of options in that price bracket. Search for MT helmets, LS2s, HJCs, Revolt helmets.
I'm not too good with the exact names. Personally, I use a MT Thunder3. 5750/- Will suit all ur requirements.
Having a budget of 9K gives u a lotta better options.
Try Bell Qualifier. Saw it retailing for 8000/- somewhere, don't remember exactly. It's pretty good too

For 300/- more, u can buy SMK Twister @ 4300/-. Best value for money at this price.
Strictly adhering to the budget, check Studds Shifter (2500/-)
THH, AXR helmets (3000)

Did anyone of you used the SEARCH feature on this thread?
If yes, this question should not have been here

Have you EVER used the SEARCH feature and got the result you wanted? Because I think half of these posts would not have even been there, had the search feature been a little better!

I appreciate you taking your time out from your highly BUSY routine and giving SUCH a VALUABLE piece of advice.
But let me tell you that the way the search on Xbhp works is it doesn't understand semantics and displays posts with exact keyword matching.
So unless you know the exact keywords you may just be shooting in thin air without aiming on anything.
There are only two possibilities where you can know the exact keywords:
1) you have read that post in the past and are able to recall well.
2) you are really lucky that you came up with the exact keyword before getting frustrated by the irrelevant results that you were not interested in.

So my humble advice to SPECIAL people is, rather wasting your VALUABLE time in posting "use search feature", provide the search text that you may recall from the past. That would be really helpful to take things forward.

Couldn't agree more! Some people just can't do anything except Nitpicking!

Most of the posts are here , just because KIDS dont want to do any work and wants to be spoon fed.

I have been "blunt" or in your words "nitpicking" long enough on this forum, so that people actually look into the thread little deeper rather than just waiting for someone to serve them the answers.

Now that you are such a big FAN of my VALUABLE advice, trying googling "Helmet Under 10000" with Xbhp with it and let me know it doesnt guide you to the page on this thread.

And just to help you guys out, so that you dont have to give much tension to your delicate fingers, do check out my signature and last 10-15pages of this thread so that you get the exact serving...err I mean spoon fed answers.

Be humble. We all are here to help and to learn. If you are good at what you do then, you shouldn't exhibit pride rather, be wise and humble.
I don't post much, I read and learn. You are a rusted rider, you should be the first one to come forward to assist. Don't take my words otherwise brother, I am writing for good deeds.
Ride Safe.

Re: Helmets

I have recently purchased mt thunder3 sv board....my forehead as measured by a tape records 56cm and I have ordered medium size from SPG. But it feels very snug and difficult to wear it off from my head! Is this ok? or should I excange it for a Large size?

If it is too uncomfortable, get a large size. If not, it'll be comfortable as time passes cuz the padding will take some time to adjust

Just like shoes, jackets, pants, Helmets too need break in period. It will be become less snug with time. Although it should be tight from forehead and quite snug at cheeks

Re: Helmets

thanks for your response. How much tight is too tight for a helmet? How long does it take to adjust? I find it difficult to wear in and wear off ...will that be adjusted too,as time passby?

Yes it should be tuff to wear and take off initially. And cheek pads should press the cheeks so u can feel discomfort while speaking but it would get comfy and snug with usage.
A helmet which goes easily on the head would come off easily in case of a fall and that is not good.
Mine was too tight at the cheeks and difficult to wear but now the cheek pads are better and i am not feeling any discomfort while wearing it.
