I recently shifted to Bangalore.
And currently do not own a bike. Sold my Apache RTR 180 ABS last week !

yet, i have a new helmet now.

Went out to get a HJC CL17 . but apparently size S isn't available and will only be shipped in August.
Was at the lets gear up shop, and after trying the CS15, decided to get it instead.

Costed by 6500 as it was an older stock.

lets hope it works out well and is only discarded due to age !

PS - the person at the let's gear up shop in Bangalore, HSR Layout was of great help. quite knowledgeable and patient. Really helped me pick it up

LGU HSR layout, Bangalore is damn good. Most of the Dominar owners go there only to pick up stuff.

Re: Helmets

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?

Ah great. Was looking at stellar as second option after axxis. Stellar is it silent till 70? Been busy with exam so havent bought a helmet till now.

I think it was a defect with the piece I was trying.

Re: Helmets

Anyone else using smk stellar. Review would be useful. Tried axor apex. Windnoise from 35kmph onwards. That's off the list.

Re: Helmets

I was charged 7000₹ for my HJC cs15, and I see that the MRP is 6500₹. The dealer now says that he'll charge the new rate, that is 7000₹, even if the stock is old. What can be done?

Chopra Automobiles, Karol bagh. He charged 500 over and above MRP. I paid 7000₹ and later got to know that MRP was 6500₹. When I contacted him he said that new stocks cost 7000₹ so he will charge 7000 even if the MRP is 6500. He tried to remove the MRP from the helmet visor when he sold it to me so that I won't see the price.*

He tried to remove the part that says 6500₹ MRP. I've contacted National consumer helpline. If he gets screwed, he may think twice before doing this to one of you!

It won't help, if u have the proper gst bill and mrp label with you then only you can complaint to national consumer help line.
Other just forget about it.

Re: Helmets

Hi Guys,
Might sound silly - replying to my own comment. BTW, got a new helmet. Again, an Vega product, with ISI mark from Helmet paradise. It is gloss finish with good graphics showing speedometer (similar range as Vega Cara). Weight of the helmet is 1370gms. My current helmet weigh is 1100gms. I am always wearing a small-medium size helmet. My head size is 550mm, so I need a small /medium as per manufacturer.
Pain point is that all the “real” helmets (safety approved, removable padding) the shop has in L size only. Most of them are 1500gms+-50gms.
Surprising that he is able to sell it to all customers (great forest where one size fits all).
Note: I stitch my cloths as far as possible, even in a place where sail boat looking shirts, over sized trousers are considered normal these days. It is surprising to know that most people are not particular about helmet size and buying helmets by looking at it less than they would examine vegetable.
Finally, got the Vega with 560mm size and was the best fitting of the lot. He told me to come again within couple of days if there is a problem.
First ride realized that I need little extra padding on top. So went there again to put some more foam on top of the head to fill it so that it won't come near eye brows.
So, I am the odd ball in that shop now (note that I have bought all my riding gear from that shop and even three helmets during last 5 years).
Again tried some other LS2 helmet, again L in size, but all could be padded to fit any shape!.
Now, shop keeper told me that I could go for LS2 . He also told me that since we both don’t have time, I have to decide now itself (his clever way of telling not to come there again!). I really didn’t want to buy a way too big helmet (his argument is that big bike needs big helmet!! .
After two days of ride, the helmet is OK, bit I guess needs little bit more padding on cheeks.
The helmet gives adequate noise cancellation and feels ok. But wind noise gets in by 70kmph itself.
I have to go for an upgrade soon. This time will try another shop, which will really sell S or M sized "real" helmets.

Hello,
Sorry for replying for this old thread, but i am also looking for a 550mm size full face helmet with ISI mark.. I don't think we have ECE + ISI mark with anything. I heared Axor has one but which series i am not aware.
I really love Studds Shifter but that starts from 570mm, Infact no indian manufacturer is making good S size helmet when it comes to full face helmet, really disappointed. I found studds Chrome Elite series has S size but not ISI approved. infact for Indian people small size looks more optimum.

Can some one guide me to a full face helemt for S size (550mm) (atleast 2 shell, ventilation, and good cousioning) with ISI mark; as this will be used for City rides only on my R15s for traffic guy. My budget is 3000/-... For other rides i am using LS2 fits well, which i bought from Mumbai but here in HYDERABAD its difficult to find a good one, can someone guide me to good dealer. though my requirement is small.

I agree with above posts, that store managers just want to sell L and XL.. ideally they should aware users about perfect fit.

Thx in advance.
Love ride. Love life.
