Helmets

[rajit999]

What kind of usage-city or long rides?
Do you prefer heavier helmets or lighter ones?
Do you want a full face or flip-up type like what you had?
Is your head big or narrow?

i would prefer a lighter one with full faced and my head is normal round type not narrow.

Use these links to look for some good models. I prefer Studds as they are broader&the padding is thicker, though the helmets are slightly on the heavier side. Vega helmets are sleek, compact&lightweight in comparison.
I think the Studds Rhyno is a good fullface option.
2G/3G will be flipups-improved versions of what you have currently. (All ~Rs.1200)
Vega Boolean (~Rs.1800) is good, but since you have specs better rule it out.
If your budget is lower, you could consider entry level models like Studds Chrome/Vega Formula HP etc.

those goggles come with the helmet itself ? and can they be pushed inside ??

yeah it actually is a helmet visor in shape of gogs(it comes till nose only as i showed in one pic also)..it can be pushed inside just like a normal visor..

Guys i had to share this incident regarding my helmet which is a studs ninja model helmet, i bought this in 2008 for around 1800.00

couple of days back when i was on road it started raining heavily and i went in for a shelter and kept my helmet on a wall and me in a pan shop, unfortunately the wall slid which was around 20 ft high and loads of bricks and sand fell on my helmet from 20 ft above i thought my helmets gone and it must have turned to pieces but to my surprise even the glass didn't break up, all it had was scratches and dust and wet mud around it.

even i am having good experience with this helmet as i had an accident & at that time i was wearing this same helmet..i fell right in front of my bike when the handle bar of my bike got smashed to my stomach & then my head struck to the road directly & i started tumbling on road till the other side..but this helmet proved itself & save me from any injury on my face..it got scratched all over with few major bruises but didn't even crack..but still as precautionary i changed my lid after that accident & switched to Vega this time..

yeah you can replace it with other visors but then it won't go inside completely as there won't be enough space for it, i asked the dealer while purchasing it, but its already better then that..

give me the details where who purchased it from...

give me the details where who purchased it from...

there are many with such options vega boolean,cross etc with goggles in them

they can be removed but not replaced

For better options on helmets you know what to do

Hey nin, check this link out: Helmets dont contribute to road safety

to hell with that research man !! ask people here....or just check out the previous posts...

Research: "Wearing a helmet is still recommended, but you don't really need one if you're just riding in a park or going to the shops for some milk," he said.

whoever he is...many bikers here itself have injured their head/face when doing the same and not necessarily on a big ride or tour...we even have pictures posted here...

nothing against you...but please do not bring such links here which demotivate people from having basic safety measures...

ride safe !

plus that research was done in sydney,australia...

now compare the amount of bikes/vehicles per sq.km back here in India and there...we ourselves will get to know..how prone we are to accidents...

Which Motorcycle do you ride?

If you are riding only a ZMR, why a moto-cross lid?

its doing justice with my needs as i was in a need of a light helmet along with good comfort(which should look good as well )..i already have 3 other helmets so i bought this one recently cuz i really liked its shape n built & wanted to try it badly..

i also tried Vega Shadow but it was looking too big on me
