Greetings fellow bikers ...
I seem to find myself at a spot which many of us go through .. Namely , Which is the best helmet for around 3k rupees ...
I simply love the LS2 phobia and dragon ..
here are my questions ...

1) what are the design differences b/w these two ?
2) does the mercury tinted mirror finish visor give decent visibility at night ?
3)Do the helmets come with warranty ?

here are my questions ...

1) what are the design differences b/w these two ?
There are two plastic thing at the top on the dragon which looks stylish but it is round in shape from behind whereas Phobia doesnt have that plastic thingy but is not circular from behind it has a slope kind of design at the back. IMO phobia is anyday better than a dragon. Dragon is quite common too these days whereas phobia aint that common till date.

2) does the mercury tinted mirror finish visor give decent visibility at night ?
Either buy both the visors [clear + tinted] or choose clear over mercuric. No doubt the mercuric one looks cool but at the same time is prone to scratches more than a clear one. Clear one has the best for visibility during day and night time and scratches also doesnt easily appear if compared to a mercuric one.
Mercuric visor would cost you around 400-450 bucks.

3)Do the helmets come with warranty ?
Yes i got a one year warranty with my LS2 phobia but i doubt its a valid one because there is nowhere mentioned the purchase date.

Told about i got my Orazo Coot this week. I had a 260 km ride with that today. I am very much happy about my purchase. I bought the basic Black version. First i thought i was ugly. But when i used it.. I was stuck in that. I really didn't want to remove it when i came back. Damn comfort to me. The sole has fantastic grip and the steel toe is very hard. There isn't a notable mark on the toe shifting area. Earlier i thought it would be a problem. The quality of leather is good too. But there isn't any protection for ankle. Just for 1600 bucks.. we shouldn't expect more.. I am not that greedy...

Orazo Coot is a helmet ?????

A doubt... Is there any fingerless motorcycling gloves available? If so, which brand? Any guys here are using this? I know it offers much less protection. But it is very very difficult to remove the gloves and take pictures. Right? I think it is because i am using a Cramster MX3 and DSG Nero. Hope you all understand what i mean.

Thanks Sheel!

Actually Arai makes helmets for different head shapes, while Shoei follows a standard interior shape - which I believe to be long oval in the US territories. I tried the X-12 and X-11 too last week, but I somehow liked the Arai shape much better. It might also had to do with the fact that I have a 61-62 cm head size, much bigger than the average.

But I liked Shoei X-12's padding much better. I might have switched to Shoei just for the heck of it, but when it came down to the price - $430 for Arai's existing top end model vs. $810 for Shoei's top end X-12, the padding alone did not justify the extra $400.

Thanks...

Yes, this was a discontinued graphic so I got this relatively cheaper. I paid $479 for the helmet + an extra smoked shield which is way cheaper than paying $807 for a brand new Corsair V. Even the base Corsair in solid colors cost $709. This is Arai's latest model which replaced the RX-7 since last year.

So while the exact graphic is no longer available, the Corsair V is a brand new helmet model, loaded with tech to the gills. Anything less than $500 is a steal for this model! I am not much of a graphics guy and prefer solid colors(my current Arai is a dark grey), but I thought this opportunity was too good to let go by.

Monster Energy is still with Arai, but without John Hopkins.The latest Monster Energy Arai helmet is the Cal Crutchlow Replica which retails for $810. 100% same helmet, different graphic! All because a rider switched teams... Ouch.
