        I like the initiative taken by hydbikers's but if he send like this mail to every company all will tell there products r design for high speeds even local delhi made will tell that, what different in rhyno n bravo? shape different thats it? even visor is same. shell material is same almost all the things r same. for high speeds helmet should have spoilers as u get in any imported helmets, it should have anti fogging visors.dust pads many things thats not there in rhyno u send the same mail to vega they will also tell that there helmets r design for high speeds.but what about features require for high speeds?

          i wont suggest u to go for 2g because in that they have given plastic looks which r not good for high speeds its flip up gears r also to delicate. and try to remove that visor & fix it again u will come to know how difficult it is.3g is good only issue its too bulky when its open up but looks r very good n strong. but again maintenance problem as they have given automatic lifting spring.quality wise rhyno is good but i am afraid of visor fittings again. if u r ready to change helmets frequently then go for any helmets but normally user use helmets around more than 3 years that time they require after sales service. so i suggest u to go for running models. which can be repair after market also.arron i wont trust that brand.
          once again thanks bros.
          i will go and check out all the models suggested by you ASAP.

          Vega and also

              The 1st one is the Studds Ninja, an old model, but still good padding&protection. As mentioned by Probiker Pune, the springs on the sides tend to give way&are not available as spares.
              Instead of this, maybe you can consider the Ninja 2G&3G which are not listed on the site, at a slightly higher price. You can find pics&review if you use the Search feature in this thread.
              The next one is Vega Boolean. Good in terms of features, adjustable air vents on head too. It has an internal visor&this sunglass helps, but keep it away from your nose. I had this didn't like the padding much-it gave me a headache so I gave the helmet away&went for a Studds Ninja 2G for city use.
              For touring I use the Vega high end which is supposedly made in Thailand&costs about Rs.25-2700.
              The last one is a basic helmet&pretty fine for city riding. At higher speeds it may shake around.
              Helmet shops in Hyd: Bike Decors at Erragadda for Studds, Biking Terminal at Somajiguda for Vega&Abids for multiple brands.

                  so ninja decor is out of my list
                  i will do some research on ninja2g/3g and then will go for anyone that suits me the best!!

                      Too late buddy, I already got the Studds Ninja 2G long back. Anyways these are only for city use. For touring I use the Vega high end. I will consider an imported lid like SparX next if I get an imported bike!

                        • Studds Rhyno

                          Hey Guys, Planning on getting a lid for around 1.2k. Zero'ed in on the Studds Rhyno. Is is available in any plain colours i.e., without any graphics??? I would prefer Plain Red (may be with a black strip in the middle to match my bike )
                          Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
                          But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

                                Thanks guys, Thats too bad coz i like the Rhyno and it was an awesome VFM helmet. Any other helmet in that range with air vents??

                                @Sarvajit: The devil is inside the helmet So thats why I want no graphics on it
