    Helmets don't contribute to road safety: Research
    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 !
    A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and 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...

        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

            Hi Omega

            I guess this research is for bicycle helmets and not motorcycle helmets,
            so i suggest you keep your helmet glued to your head as there is no escaping from that lid when you ride.

              Cross or LS2 at that price make very good designed helmets.
              i never found it uncomfortable over 100k's, rode my bike around 120km/hr couple of times while wearing this but it feels much lighter then my previous helmet..i was using studds ninja before this one & cuz of its shape it wasn't able to cut the wind properly which makes it feel even heavier on your head at high speed but this one is cutting the air quiet nicely cuz of its shape..

                      Are you kidding?? AFAIK the LS2 costs 2.8k+. He brought the cross helmet for 1700. If a LS2 is available for even 2k then i would be running to the ATM first & then towards the helmet shop.

                      Looks good. Price please. Get some stickering done on it & the helmet will look superb.

                          BTW i always thought the cross helmets were a premium ones & never had any offerings for lower prices.

                          Any idea about LS2??

                          Lucky me. I was going to buy vega boolean for 2k here. But due to some reasons i dint do so.

                          • There are now 2 varieties of cross available now both bought from different places

                            seen these kinda ones starting at 1.8k in mumbai around a month back

                            Asked the dealer about it & he was not forthcoming with answers ,got suspicious & didn't pursue any further as I was not in need of it
