Re: Helmets

Uff i tried west delhi local market just now .. it's hell hot outside.. sadly max size available 600mm which not suited me...

Now only option left with karobagh or online ...

But there is no 610mm helmet available online within 2500/-.

Re: Helmets

I am still using the same helmet there is hardly any wear n tear...

If this is the same helmet in which you had the accident then replace it. After an accident the helmet should not be used. Helmet works by absorbing the impact and by its internal protection material is damaged as a consequence. In another impact the helmet will not keep your head safe. It is not the steel outside of the helment which protects rather the substance inside of the helmet outside of the steel.

>> What do you think riders would discuss in 2029?

My guess... based purely on my fetish for electronics.. would be a helmet-mounted-display-system (HMDS), of the kind pilots use. Essentially all the crucial info on your helmet visor.. including alarms for fast approaching vehicles from behind. Given advances in LIDAR etc.. I'd not be surprised to see such innovations soon as part of bike hardware or third-party suites. No need to keep changing your eye-line between the rather low-set mirrors (except maybe for Avenger and some Enfields).. the traffic ahead.. the side-traffic .. so on and so forth.

Guys I need to find a silent helmet. I ride a naked bike so I face high wind noise. Tried smk stellar but there was whistling noise as the visor doesn't shut tightly enough. It was present in speeds above 70km/hr. Is the HJC CS15 silent?

Cs15 has decent wind protection. You will hear wind noise but it's tolerable. I ride a duke 390 btw.

I got the cs 15. and I use ear plugs.
I am satisfied with the wind protection. No howling or whistling.

True. I use sena to listen music and the wind doesn't bother me.

Before you buy, confirm if spg will provide you with spares. If they have visors, padding in stock.

Their website shows they have the visor in stock. Will ask about the padding

I'll suggest you another thing. Check their dealers through the website. Contact the dealers saying you need spares for the helmet. And ask them how often stocks arrive.

Polycarbonate is a form of thermoplastic.
