Re: Helmets

Why do you need to check SHARP ratings ? They are only indicative and can be cheated easily as discussed in Riding Gears thread too. Kindly never check SHARP ratings first. If there, good, if not, don't care.

Then pick EXO 490 or 390. CL-17 is also a good choice.

Thanks for the inputs [emoji1303]

Re: Helmets

I would suggest SMK twister for features.

Zeus 811 for quality overall.

MT is a nice choice too, but found the build not as good as Zeus.

You can also check Axor helmets.

I use a SMK and my friend uses MT Mugello, if I had to buy one today, it would be SMK twister / Zeus 811.

Cheers !

Thanks dude for the reply
Any review on LS2 from same range?
About Zeus 811 which you suggested ,I heard from many people that the cushioning gets loose overtime .
Will that be a major concern ?
Else will go ahead with it

If thinking of LS2, buy only from Laxmi auto or their Instagram page - LS2helmetsindia.
A lot of fake LS2 helmets around.
About cushioning, Zeus is known for padding and liner quality, check any international forums.
Also keep in mind, Chinese Zeus is also available in India. I am talking about the original Taiwanese Zeus helmets.

Yes, if you are planning to buy anything from STG then make payment by PayPal, otherwise transaction will be declined..

Thanks for the tip! Hope you enjoy the fab helmet!
I was thinking of buying the bell qualifier (8K) from highnoteperformance as they have a store here in delhi. I just need to try on a helmet before i pick it up, hence a bit skeptical about the size and fit when buying online.. but am still tempted. Any tips on that (apart from the head circumference measurement)?

Yes, don't buy directly before trying out. I tried Qualifier and had pressure points on Forehead. Try any helmet for 5 to 10 minutes with and without Balaclava and then decide.

Re: Helmets

A very simple and basic Bluetooth headset that i have bought from banggood.
Working fine as of now , works well below 80kmph with some mild disturbance.
Works fine with Google maps which is my prime usage.
Product link and pricing is given in video description. Made the video in Hindi.

I got the Bell qualifier from them back in December, I did not try it and just went for the size M. Initially, felt very tight, but after using it for two weeks, it's very comfortable and fits perfectly.

Good insulation from noise and wind. Feels good
A bit heavy though.
You can send it back if it doesn't fit you well and get a diff size. I used to use LS2 large and Bell M seems perfect

Thanks Vinbex. Ya, i tried them on and the small seemed a bit too tight, and the medium seemed fine. You are right, it is a tad heavy, but overall good VFM. Haven't bought it yet, as am trying to see if i can get a scorpion exo R710 from the U.S.. Else i'll pick this one up from Highnote.

Re: Helmets

Hello everyone. Just wanted your opinion to buy a nice ventilated helmet for summer use. I am currently using a LS2 FF386 which is a modular helmet and summer time wearing this helmet is killing me.

Re: Helmets

Hello guys
I had a budget of 8k and recently picked up my revenge binomy but I really expected wind noise to drop as compared to my previous studds Shifter but to my shock there isn't much difference and furthermore apart from windnoise there is a very irritating whistling sound from speed as low as 60 if there are crosswinds and 70 if not. Please consider I ride a naked bike i.e dominar. If there is something wrong with my helmet or any solution to my problem

only solution to your problem is earplugs.

Well in my case, I put it in the helmet bag and gave it as check-in luggage

No getting away from this no matter how many air vents u have in this weather you will be sweating like hell. I am using 580mm studds rhyno in city and smk twister 550mm on highway. Best way to beat the sweat is to open all vents and crack open the visor whenever you can.
For city you can try studds shifter it is very well ventilated helmet.
