Helmets

[malikkhan095]

Cross is simply put worth the every penny spent on it.

Comfort fit, no air wobbling with that, good air flow due to the vents, and safety wise just too good!!
I spent 3.7k for that and don't regret at all for that. The visor is also good. You can ride at night even with the visor down. It won't affect the visibility much.

This is my new Cross Helmet (Is it called the SHADOW ??)



Bought: Yesterday
Where: Pioneer Helmets, Chennai
Price: Quoted 3500, bought for 2950/- (is the pricing too much?)

Review: I'm loving it
It doesnt have the D'ring thingy. but the feel of the lining and the comfort is wonderful, the air-vents work like a charm and make this whistling sound when I turn my head left or right. It weighs 1450+- 50-gms.
Its slightly heavier than my previous Vega Offroader Motocross Helmet, but lighter than the LS2 by some 100+-150gms.

thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and experience on cross helmets.

To all SparX helmet owners. Is it possible to remove inner liner of the helmet ?

Yes. You can remove the inner liner from the helmet.

Hey guyz...m planning to buy a good helmet for around 3k..please suggest me a good helmet in terms of durability, reliability and comfort..

Please use the search function or read through earlier posts. This has been asked and answered lot of times.

No offence but the search function is enabled for just that reason.

Mine is not sparx. Anyway this is how it works in my helmet, hope it helps. Inner liner/paddings has two parts. One is fixed and cannot be removed. The other is the inner paddings. These paddings are attached internally by press buttons (or whatever you call them) like you find in jackets. Try locating such press buttons and pull and they'll open. Note: every bit of inner liner/paddings cannot be removed, but the thick paddings can be removed. Not sure how it is in yours.

Hey guys got these two, one is of the brand "STAR" and the other one is "Aaron" ! Out of the two I use the motorcross one which is STAR ! I am not sure of the brands but the fitting is nice and most importantly they are certified !

Got STAR for 1.2k where as Aaron for 1.5k !

AFAIK Cross doesnt have a dedicated site of its own. A little birdie told me that the manufacturers are working on putting up a website that will catalogue all their products.

Not that I know of. When i wanted to buy a lid 2 months back i researched quite a bit. Couldnt find a single site that had any information on Cross helmets. No info on certification, models, etc.

I had actually discussed this with the above mentioned birdie a while ago. The company behind Cross helmets was a major distributor of helmets in India & the helmets are being manufactured by following the best of the west. Its not some half baked local manufacturer copying international designs without any quality norms in place, which is what I was worried about initially. They are pretty clued in to the Indian market as well which is why they introduced the sub Rs 2k models some time back.

hey guys,
I need a new Helmet,
budget ~ 3000 INR
location ~ HAL, Bangalore.

Till now my fav. brand is Ninja from Studds, but want to try something different this time if I can get same or better quality within my budget.

And I have a major problem, my head size .
Currently I am using a 600 mm shell, but even after 3 years it is an exact fit, when it was new it used to cause head-aches within 15 minutes of wearing.
So can i get a larger size then 600 or I have to always ride with the pain.

I tried many helmets but only local brands which I have never heard-of (like Globe, Hunt, Slick) fits and none of the famous ones (like Studds, Bieffe, Vega).

Kindly suggest, will be buying one latest by coming sunday.
Also suggest a shop if you have a fav. one.

Thanks in advance
