    I am looking for something which is rated both by Sharp 5 star and Snell. Suggestions welcome. Budget about 15k
    I have MT Blade now and I need to upgrade. I am looking for something rated well for quietness.
    Hjc fg 17
    Snell rated and sharp 4 rating
    Been using it for few months, its a good helmet overall and light weight.
    Costs 15k

      Crashed in mt around 130 kmph and in the sol arnd 70 kmph
      Both did its job but if the sol had been in mt's place, i doubt if i could have walked away with no injury.
      The sol has eps liner in shape of a half helmet ie it has no eps liner around ears and in the front.

      Thats why i mention MT revenge over sol anyday and MT is lighter too.

          Please everybody watch this. It's about the DOT certification for the helmets.

                You can look at MT range of helmets.

                  Look for Axor helmets, or even SMKs

                      Is there a sub-5k full black helmet(matt or gloss doesnt matter) which is a proper upgrade over the Studds shifter?

                          Isn't the twister just a shifter with DOT and SNELL stickers?

                            No there are differences in quality and it comes in more shell sizes. I am using one from past 1 year now. It is ece rated not dot and snell.
                            Does gets noisy at triple digit speeds.

                              Snell?? lol no. AFAIK no indian manufacturer offer SNELL approved helmets in india. The cheapest Snell helmets in india are HJC CL 17 and FG 17.
