Helmets

Indeed your MPA looks good.
Can you share your exp with it? Is it light-weight, tough, comfortable, vents, visor etc.

weight: it is very light. 1170+- 20 grams

padding is very comfortable & washable. Actually the best I have seen among the three brands

I wear spectacles while driving. (not many helmets are specs friendly , either too tight or too loose) And i find the design compact. Not too bulky. Comfortable chinstrap too

Vents there are couple of them. I have not used it much so cannot comment on that aspect.

Visor is same as the agv one. 450 buck just for the visor. If iridium (or some coating) it cost 750.

Essentially it is the same a agv except for the branding. this is what the sales guy was telling me. I went for AGV but like this more than them, color wise

Whistling: have not really thought about it. I will check and get back on this later on. A lot of cars these days are so silent that unless they honk u don't even know their presence. whistling or not on has to be careful

for 1150 bucks i felt it was a value for money. I felt it looked better than Studds or Vega. I tried boolean also, but ppl advised against the Modular helmets because they don't offer the same level of protection like a full face helmet

Finally what ever helmet u are taking try it for atleast few minutes at the store. makes a lot of difference

Sorry MUK my mistake Boolean is 1700 without graphics and graphics one is 1950 bucks.

I think u've got that one wrong , i got the boolean plain matt black one for 1300rs , i dunno about the one with graphics .

Whistling effect will merely be available in almost all the helmets.....Its tough to avoid it.....But there are few which can reduce the whistling effects....
Vegaboolean ---- it produces more whistling effect
StuddsNinja ---- I think this suits you - this produces minimum whistling.....

Hey thanks thunder. Whistling cannot be reduced to zero, but as less as possible is what I'm looking for . I'm not a big fan of the Modular helmets hence both of the above is more likely ruled out. I was more interested in

MPA,
Studds Rhyno
Studds Bravo
Steelbird Bieffe
Vega full face non-modular (Does this have a name )

for the last couple of weeks, I looked around a lot of stores for green color helmet, but not finding any, I picked up MPA Flash. The lid costed me 1150 bucks. It felt the same as AGV, Indian make but for the branding. Very comfortable fit and also light. no reason to spend 2500 bucks just for AGV brand name.
The next though I hope to find something closer to my bike color

i bought a AGV (mpa indian version) 2day...it cost me 2.2k....and i guess the structural design of my AGV is exactly the same as yours....not sure about the build quality tho....its a white and red graphics..looks good..will post the pics soon....i guess i paid 1000bucks more for the AGV brand ! ! !....but no regrets...i alwazz wanted a AGV lid...that logo looks damn sexy 2 me....esp after u c tht logo on major motogp and superbike riders..VALENTINO ROSSI as well....

[pritish]

I love this lid.. Was on the look out for the same here in B'lore 2 weeks ago.
Balaji Helmets quoted 3300/- for a full black one and around 4200 for ones with graphics and Helmet Paradise quoted 3500/- for any..
Haven't bargained yet at any of these places.. Still in a dilema whether to buy it or not..
Any reviews on this helmet and also please suggest if I could get anything better in this range (~3k)...

Guys i dont blv the price u have quoted for the LS2 here....my room mate recently got exactly the same design(white) and it costs him 2800 ! ! !..and its authentic (certified by DOT)...
shop - Pioneer
location - Chennai go chk out for urself if u r in chennai..

[pritish]

i wld say go for a nice bargain wid the shopkeeper...wid respect to the price i have quoted..i hope it works out..

@pritish

well I am also not sure about the build quality. But I was told that it is the same in all aspects. Anyways my hunt is still on for a green color one. If not in India I will have to get it imported

Any AGV or MPA the helmet feels really comfortable. I am uploading some pics of the padding and some with the ride

after seeing ur pics i think mine AGV resembles it in all aspects....the paddings are xactly the same....and so is the structural design.

i guess i paid the premium of 1k for AGV logo ! ! !...still no regrets. i absolutely love that logo and i feel lucky 2 own a AGV at 2k

best of luck wid ur green colour..i hope u get it soon in INDIA.

I think u've got that one wrong , i got the boolean plain matt black one for 1300rs , i dunno about the one with graphics .

Well dude i know that boolean is 1300 bucks plain but many on forum confused me.
