Helmets

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.

I would recommend the Bell Qualifier or ScorpionEXO 390. Try them both, great ventilation ! Also HJC helmets have great ventilation.

Thank you for your quick input. But where do I get scorpion helmets from? And are they available for my price range? I have a range of 10k for now.

Only Exo390 is available under 10k. They are available at teamdriven as well as motocentral.

I would recommend Studds shifter, much better than others.

Also, Axor has a helmet around 3500 if you can stretch the budget that much.

Re: Helmets

For a price range or 3k to 4.5k which is better among smk and axor? Are there any better alternatives? How much better are these compared to studd shifter. If it matters, usage will be daily city commute and occasional highway rides between 70 to 90kmph.

I would highly recommend SMK as it is much more value for money, since it comes with a Pinlock 30 shield pre-installed.

It is much better compared to Studds shifter. I have both of them.

SMK anyday better if compared to Axor.
Avoid helmets that are still questionable and are famous for having fakes in the market.

Studds Shifter is a great helmet but if can afford the SMK! Please fo for it

I'm planning to buy Bell qualifier helmet & XDI X1 Hydraseal jacket. Would this be a good choice ?
