Helmets

[sheelpriye]

I got a pair of stickers, ear plugs, vent clips with the lid. I have the bill for warranty and a clear visor. Didnt get an extra visor though. I guess Balaji charges a tad more to cover the cost of an extra visor.

I too got an ear plug, clean visor, two stickers. got myself a couple of shields(one clear/one tinted from Balaji)costing Rs.700 each for both clear and tinted.
got my helmet from PRS for Rs. 8500, no discount.

Thanks Sharath. First ride with the hornet was yesterday on the way back after the purchase. But the first ride with the hornet on the ninja is hopefully on Fri night. You in? Please chk the bangalore G2G thread.



I did go to balaji over the weekend but the sales guy (heavy set person) tried his tricks again. Said the motodesign edition in KBC was 9.5k and he will sell it for 8.5k when Orion was selling it for 7.5k. Gave him a piece of my mind and walked out.

SparX hornet special edition comes with smoked visor. All SaprX special edition comes with 2 sets of visor that's y they are called special edition .Please check with Orion on this request for the SaprX helmet catalog which would clearly mention it comes with 2 sets of visor.

I went to Orion he said the skullz is 8k. i found Balaji was cheaper plus he gave me few goodies along with it, a fake alpinestar balaclava . Extra set of sparX decals and one KBC decal.

The warranty card was in the same cover with the owner's manual.

Cheers

I checked here and there is no mention of 2 visor's. Please let me know where it is mentioned that the spl edition Sparx comes with 2 visors so I can follow-up with Orion on this. I bargained and got 300 bucks off on the MRP of 8.5k and the lid came with clear visor only. All the lid's at Orion had only clear visor's. (I prefer clear visor's as I dont want to compromise on visibility).

Was thinking of buying a balaclava but dont need one now as the helmet is a very tight fit and should ease a bit once the pads wear in. I have a skull cap though from my previous LS2 purchase.

where you could actually get the safety ratings of the helmet you buy international brands

Here is bike bandit link
Sparx S-07 Special Edition Full Face Helmet - BikeBandit.com

Please see the product details it says " Includes bonus dark face shield "
I have also attached image highlighting the same.

When i went to pick up the helmet i liked 2 designs Free Born and Skullz .
Since Balaji did not stock all his helmets in the shop he offered me the SparX Helmet catalog which featured all their designs and details of the model .
The skullz model said special edition includes smoked visor but the free born was regular edition it did not include the smoked visor .

Hope this helps .

Found another link with the hornet

Just picked up a Sparx helmet from Orion Yamaha on my way back from work.

The model name is Hornet, comes with gloss finish and i picked up the medium size. Its a very nice and tight fit and should loosen up once the cheek pads break-in. Too early to comment on ventilation but i could feel the air sweeping into the lid from the eyebrow vents and from the front chin vent. Cost me around 8.5k. I got the lid with a clear visor although the pics are with tinted ones.

Here are the pics.

hey i got the same helmet but my grahfics are different it has got the master grahfics type and from where did u get those tinted visors and how much the tinted visor cost and i got it for 7.5k
