    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.
    Bingo!!!
    I didn't knew about that. If this is the case then i'd definitely go for a better one... After all we've got just one original pair

        In kolkata its very difficult to get even MRC& VEGA helmets. I would suggest you should go in for MRC as they are really good! check it in wellington!

                  hi,

                  The cost of blue tooth is around 3500/- & if u buy helmet with it, it will be plus that helmet MRP cost. Then it depends what discount shop keeper gives. in Delhi you can find it at,

                    • Advice on International Helmet brands

                      Hi Guys!
                      A friend of mine is in the US, & so I'm planning to pick up a helmet online so that my friend can bring it down here.

                      I have been looking up for helmets online, & have been looking at these brands:
                      HJC
                      KBC
                      Scorpion
                      SparX

                      My budget is USD 150, hence Arai & Shoei are out of contention.

                      I think all the above are reputed helmet brands.
                      Please let me know if any of these 4 brands is highly recommended OR highly non-recommended (with reasons please).
                      Additionally, please suggest any other good brand (if any) that is available online.

                      Thanks!

                      PS: I want to pick a helmet with graphics

                      • I like HJC's more than the other brands you have listed out.

                        Others? Don't get me started... Nolan, Axo, Shark, Suomy, Bell.. are other brands which come to my mind immediately along with HJC, Scorpion (haven't seen many guys using this)

                        ^^Ask him to carry a couple of visors along if it will be a bother to ship them back in.

                        Calcutta Guys--Does MRC come compatible with any safety rating? I would say better avoid these cheap Thai rip-offs and better buy Studds/SteelBird helmets.

                        • scorpion is good especially graphics along with all of icon (one of the best graphics out there)

                          suomy & bell are again on the higher side

                          some marushim are also in the lower range

                            Yeah! HJC is a nice brand, but seems like they don't have a good graphic designing team.

                            Unfortunately, I'm yet to see anyone sell/ wear any of the helmets of the other brands you've mentioned. Don't want to end up with the wrong size helmet, so I guess I will have to keep these on the backburner till I find someone who wears/ sells one of them.

                            Yeah! I like the Scorpion Tsunami a lot.
                            Will look out for the others, but like I mentioned, ordering the right size will be dicey.

                            • Hi All

                              I'm looking for AGV helmet. However, did not find in Chennai and was told that MPA stopped manufacturing AGV. May be some old stock lying with the dealers.

                              I was able to find one shop and he had one AGV however, in bad shape. He told me that he had not kept in display since it is not a good piece. See how what takes me to have a look at AGV in chennai.

                              I might be slightly towards AGV helmets whereas the dealer showed couple other brands. To name few LS2 and Cross. LS2- dragon theme he was giving some good discounts and there was also a plain black.
                              Cross - there was two models. The first one he showed me was normal white base with black stripe kind of theme. The other one was interesting.. it was like Vega boolean where we can open the face of the helmet upward for any quick conversation etc. rather than removing the entire helmet.
                              I found it good.

                              Experts give me advise if I should go for AGV hunt or settle for LS2 or Cross. The other helmets displayed were MPA, GPR, Vega, Steelbird Bieffe etc.

                              L2- felt heavy
                              Cross- not much difference from L2 in terms of weight.
                              The unsuable AGV was much lighter than the above.

                              2012 - Meghamalai | Kuttralam | 2011 Ooty | Munnar | 2010 Point Calimere | Horsley Hills | Yercaud
