Got LS2 helmet few weeks back... It cost me 3100 (After bargaining)...

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

This had come up on this thread a while back. Basically the Cross guys have come out with a range of affordable (relatively speaking) helmets that are priced at around 1800 bucks. The padding in this is not the same as that of the more expensive Cross options. Good for its price.

does anyone who has the ls2 helmets know if the ls2 dragon and the ls2 phobia has the same fitting or not , the shop guy also told me phobia was more heavier,
i tried both the helmets and phobia was very tight and they had only one size,
i tried the cross which was more loose and the lightest, the dragon in the above pics was for 2.5k and cross was 1.7k

Where?? Which shop dude. Which area?? Even am interested in buying one.




@all:- Guys am searching for a new helmet since i have broke my previous ones due to my rough handling.
My budget is 2.5k. The cheaper it is, the better. Am having a lil big head & i dont care if the helmet is lighter or heavier until it is comfy to me & safety is not compromised. I would be mostly riding in the city. The helmet should be good enough in bangalore rains.

Am thinking about LS2 or cross (the one for 1700). Any other suggestions are also appreciated. Thanks in advance

BTW i had forgot to tell you guys that am a music maniac. So the helmet should be good enough to accomodate an earphone in it.

even i asked in the same place as you, is the LS2 phobia available in L or XL or both they said there is only one size
,i could not put my glasses in at all while wearing the phobia, the dragon was better fit
