  • i am using an aaron hybrid helmet at present ... m not satisfied with the product so ive decided to go for a Vega ...
    i tried vega boolean today ... it was kinda heavy but still it was good minus the goggles part. i m getting that for rs. 1400 ... is it a good buy ?

    and the helmet which i have searched on net is vega stryker ... can anyone tell me its pricing ?

    i have a budget of 2k.... and i want a full face helmet ... what is the best buy ?

      Vega booligan for 1400 is a pretty good bet, it sells for 1600-1900 everywhere here in south. I would prefer a full face than front open type, even though i have specs, coz i cant compromises on safety . It can open up in case of a fall or if the spring is broken/loose due to constant flipping of front.

        yeah i AGREE....
        the shopkeeper qouted 1400 ... he will give it to me @ 1300-1350 ... i din negotiate that time because he called me back on tuesday ...as some of the new stock of vega will be coming on monday .

        which full face helmet would be a good bet [under 2K]??

        • Id suggest you not to go for the VEGA Boolean,have heard a lot of complaints.try studds for <2k and for 2-3k try AGV

          you can get MPA-AGV for around 1.8 too

                  • Flip types(Modular) aren't exactly UNsafe.but i guess it can be slightly since there are chances of it getting opened on impact.
                    best is to get a normal full face one.like is said MPA AGV are really good you should get them for your budget and the new MPA AGV comes under the AGV badge itself,they are slightly pricey..@ 3k.

                    the CROSS i posted costs 3k,excellent finish and fit and im using a full face CROSS

                      • Suggest a helmet in 1K range

                        I need to buy a good helmet so am seeking suggestions for the same. But i have few question as follows:

                        1. I am currently using Studds Ninja for last 2 years. But people suggest against this helmet. Any particular reason ?? Should i change mine ??

                        2. If yes then what should i change it to ??? Safety is of paramount importance.

                        3. I am planning to keep the studds helment for pillion rider in that case...good idea ???

                        Thanks in advance for replies...

                        • Hi guys,

                          Am from chennai. So far am using my Volga dragon which I bought for 1300.

                          Now I ve decided to change my helmet. The target is 2k. Suggest me a good helmet in this range.

                          Also about the best & biggest helmet shops available in chennai.
                          Its not about just vrooming the engine, sharp cuts, top speeds...A true biker should understand his machine

                              Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
