Helmets

Re: Helmets

Also had LS2 ff323 to the list, this is a fiberglass shell.

I would pick the HJC fg17 or the CL17. Despite being polycarbonate, the shell actually is very good quality.

Exo 410 is discontinued and replaced by exo 390 (regular shell), exo 420 (race-dynamics shell) [These are shell designs only, make some sense with dynamics, nothing major]

If you can, get someone to carry EXO420 for you from abroad. Very good helmet. If possible, this is a better overall option than HJC.

Fro what I've read about HJCs they tend to have quite more wind noise compared to Scorpions, Especially CL17.

Ventilation is also better on the HJC, just two sides of the same coin.

Re: Helmets

Users of the Honda Activa (1st Gen), TVS Jupiter & Suzuki Access, what full face helmets are you using? Looking for helmets that will fit in the under seat storage. I'm using an Activa and planning to buy the Jupiter or Access for my wife. Looking for a mid range helmet, not the usual 1000-2000 Vega or Studds options. Something from SMK, MT, THH, Axor will be fine. Usage will be strictly within city but the helmet needs to be full face.

Smk , mt , thh, axor none will go inside the boot , for the matter not even the full size studds or sb. Jupiter has a smaller boot than activa most spacious is alpha and acess, when i had 2008 model activa my studds rhyno was a very tight fit in it, only the medium size like low level studds and regular 500rs isi will go inside the boot.
Now in my Maestro edge the smk refuse to go and even my studds Thunder d3 is not possible so i use wire type lock , i keep the lock inside the boot.
Test out few helmet and see if any goes inside it.

Studds Professional fits inside most scoots. Try this one.

Re: Helmets

Hey guys, need some help in choosing a helmet. There are so many options that I'm rather confused. Recently I sold my HJC CL17, which was giving me a headache after 45+ minutes of riding due to incorrect head shape (the weight was fine, the helmet was probably a bit too roundish for my head?).

I own an FZ25, which I use for 90% city and 10% highway. I don't use any bluetooth/communication/audio devices or cameras. I require a good balance of ventilation and wind noise. The CL17 was balanced in this aspect.

Budget can be capped to 10k for now, although I prefer a (relatively) cheaper one after burning my hands with the HJC, which costed me 9k.

No HJC, I tried IS17 and CS15, none of them fitted correctly. SOL is out too, none of the models I tried fitted my head well (they all felt loose on the sides to me).

I'm using an el cheapo Vega helmet temporarily, so I'm very keen on purchasing a better one ASAP.

I'm currently considering the studds shifter due to my usage pattern, but I'm open to any suggestions above (and including) the shifter.

These are a bit expensive here, any cheaper options?

Re: Helmets

Hello guys,

Please suggest a Safe helmet with low wind noise for weekend rides. I already have a Kranos helmet with my daily commute but its extremely noisy. Its so noisy at 90-100kmph that i cannot even hear a car honking right behind me. Earplugs are out of consideration as i don't want to compromise my situational awareness.

Considering i may upgrade to 600-900cc class in 6 months. New helmet should provide excellent protection and least wind noise.

Budget is 5-8k
