Looking good. yup, Smaller pics will help.



You put the 'Shoei' sticker? is so why? Its like putting a Ferrari sticker in a Maruti 800. Its a nice helmet. Don't spoil it.

ha haha...I changed that....actually it was a reflector sticker and useful for me in night riding.

Good for you. You never know, you might end up featuring in the "Funny Biking Pictures!" thread . I too use reflective tapes on my helmet, though they are just simple strips.

did you look at the studds rhyno full face ? its within 1400 rs and value for money .

yes, and i also saw the Studds Bravo. The Rhyno has a bit too flashy graphics for my taste.

So now its narrowed down to the Vega Corah, Studds Bravo (Rs 995) or the Studds Rhyno (Rs 1295). I'm still confused which one to go for!

Can anyone pls tell me how much the Vega corah graphics costs in bangalore?

These are the best options in the price range. I would suggest that you try and stretch your budget a little and go in for the Cross range at around Rs 1800 which is just Rs 300 above your budget. Those Cross helmets are definitely a step up from your current shortlist and should serve you better in case you have a fall. I will never tire of saying this - There is no replacement for a good helmet.

And go for a full face helmet. Half face / flip ones will do nothing for your jaw / face if you have a fall.

@ nads - Congratulations on the 2 similarly priced helmets. Still scratching my head about that .....

Let me confuse you further

Get a SparX lid. Costs around the same. Hound and nag your friend so he/she carries it down with him/her.

Sorry I wont be able to stretch my budget any further, so I have to choose between these only. Else I would have gone for Cross.

[Puneet1]

[nin]

Has anyone bought and/or used any of the NUVO Helmets here ?

[burninrubbr]

^^ nin: I'll be going to the DSG Outlet, Pune on the 1st to get my Nuvo Foul Plugs Helmet : Candy Red, wanna come along ?

[nin]

cool eh ! that was fast ! will let you know

[madhav krishna]

Going to get the helmet today.

Check the usual places on JC Road - Helmet Paradise, Balaji etc: Remember dealers are trying to push existing stock so dont be afraid to bargain hard and get a good deal.

Ya will surely keep this in mind.

I picked LS2 Diamond a month ago for 2300/- The pics are there in few pages behind in the same thread.Helmet paradise opp Urvashi thtr is where i got this one

Will check at this store in the beginning only.

Try getting it ASAP,cause only the current lot is priced @ 2.5k,it might go back to 3.5k for the next lot!

Sure bro

Check the Nuvo Helmet thread by DSG. There were one or two who had bought these lids. A review from webbikeworld should be helpful too.

[prajwalkashyap]

hey guys atlast purchased 2helmets for myself just couldnt resist n overshot my budget quite a bit(infact 2 times but couldnt resist)......

Got the foll 2 helmets:
LS2 Phobia Black n Red with tinted Visor-------2900/-----(For those long rides)
CROSS Hunk (Compound Helmet) with tinted Visors------3100/- (for city commute since i wear glasses)

will post pics soon....

wanted to go for NUVO since the price is too gud n the graphics r awesome..... but the mumbai dealer of DSG doesn't keep stock of helmets n he could place one on order..... but it was risky to place an order before trying one which fits best for me..... hence went for these.... pretty happy... hehehehehe....






@prajwalkashyap i hav the same CROSS helmet, is the price of 3800/- including visor?????? n what visor u hav taken (tinted or clear)

@nads: I checked the price of this helmet in other shops also and they all quoted almost the same price (+/- Rs.50). I picked up a clear visor for Rs.200 that was over the price of the helmet.

Nice helmets. Scratching my head because most people wouldve gone in for one Sparx / KBC instead of two Cross / LS2s. Its like finding a pair of twins attractive, you dont want to date both girls at the same time. Or do you ??

Lol, thats what I wouldve done!
