Helmets

[lijok]

most of the full face helmets I have seen don't have any protection at the chin...there is a wafer thin layer of foam or just plastic(for cheaper ones) there.....

am asking this as now I have seen two accidents where this has caused injury......one happened to me only....fell at 40-50, face down on road.....helmet hit the road....chin hits the helmet cut on chin....,
other to a friend.....fell at 70-80....same scenario....bigger cut...

the possible solutions I can think of are:
1) wear a tight helmet and the strap should be tight as well, o that your head/chin doesn't moves forward to hit the helmet: the problem is whatever helmet you use..it slowly loosens up...
2) Wear a helmet with large clearance at chin...kinda motocross

Any other solution: any helmet which comes with good chin protection.....??

Right here in this thread there is a good video which describes how to pick a helmet with the right fit.
regarding the chin hitting problem... well, the cheek pads of the helmet should fit snugly. And when you push it, the chin part should not make contact. And its not just the chin parts, you need to check for perfect fit, if it will move vertically or horizontally, the shell shape match your head shape etc etc... These are clearly shown in the video... dig it up...

Hello,

No i don't mean they are duplicate. But the material and the finishing differs in ECE and DOT. U can compare the difference by keeping the 2 together. Please let me know if any questions.

in your website the LS 2 helmets are shown as ECE approved. infact in the open market most of the LS 2 helmet that i have seen is ECE approved. the LS2 cartoon and phobia in Jaipur, bangalore, chennai is priced at 3k -3.2k and they are ECE approved.only thing thats preventing me from buying is the size. i need an L or M but they have only XL for now.

BTW the price quoted by you is around 3.6k to 3.8k and add the shipping to it plus tax, the helmet will costs 4.2k- 4.5k which is around 1500 more than what we pay here locally. ie we are paying 25% more for your helmet and that is a huge amount.here you are saying that the helmets in the open market is not duplicate ones then how can you justify the higher price quoted by you?

Exactly the same reason that though I had a chance to get a LS2 Phobia from Adventure On the rocks here in Hyderabad for 4500 or 4200 (Initial pricing ... Only recently reduced to 3800) , I got a LS2 Phobia(ECE certified) from Bangalore for 3k .

hey guys this is my new LS2 got it for 3200 from Funkies Bandra.

I would stay away from those knee/elbow guards sold at JC road.

The AXO guards which are sold for 950 bucks (includes knee and elbow guards) are definitely fake and are replica's (confirmed by a shopkeeper at JC rd).

I seriously doubt if they provide any sort of protection. I'm ordering a set for myself on the net. Better safe than sorry.

From where you ordering on net? I didnt knew about the quality of AXO. If that's the case then i'd stick with cramster or DSG...

But still i'd stay it's better to try these and then buy.. What say?

I'll check out the DSG ones this weekend at Orion and the Cramster as well... If i find them good then i'll pick them up this weekend itself...
What say???

Hey Harshit,

Would agree with Aditya when he says to avoid the AXO stuff on JC road. Those pieces dont look like they would offer too much protection in case of a fall. Youre much better off paying another 500 bucks and buying a sturdy cramster bionic pair. Many Blore xbhpians, including me use them.

+1 to that. Add performance racing store, bachoo motors and planet dsg to your page on facebook. they regularly get new stuff and post updates/photos etc.

I saw the Thor Racing Knee Guards on the PRS page and they quote 2k for it. Better than buying the replica stuff.

@aditya--how much for one-o-one shoes from A*?
