Helmets

[nads]

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 ??

i know neil but i m a bit skeptical to purchase a helmet without trying..... for LS2 the size which fits me is large but some other models of ls2 with L size i was unable to put my head inside the helmet itself..... i really liked the nuvo range but the same problem, the dsg mumbai dealer didnt had stock here in mumbai..... regarding sparx n other brands couldnt find any in any of the helmet stores here in mumbai except some imported stuff like AGV, HJC etc but they all r way above my range n i dont hav my follks livin in states so that i can benefit from them

@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.

@Prajwal that means i got a gud deal

nads since you own both i would like to know which among the ls2 and cross has a better air flow inside . do post a review on this here when you have used them

this wouldnt be a review would do it at a later stage after using them both for a bit but as of now...... the LS2 helmet has better ventilation n noise isolation than the CROSS.....LS2 is lighter and a bit smaller than the CROSS.... otherwise both the helmets r super comfy..... its my personal opinion the CROSS ventilation is at par with the AGV-MPA helmets since i owned one.... but i dont break any sweat with the LS2 even in the mumbai scorching heat....

Got a new LS2 piston head from helmet paradise. Paid him 2600 bucks. Loving everybit of the helmet. Good ventilation but a lil problem of sweating due to snug fit. Got the visor changed to mercury one. Will be trying to get a new clear visor. Any idea abut how much a new visor costs??

Nice Helmet mate. I think you can buy cross clear visor for your Helmet...I had bought it for Rs 450/- from cochin. It comes with the side fitting accessories.

Looking good. yup, Smaller pics will help.

Done !

Looking Good...Congrats

@ abhifusion - Nice helmet there. Good to see some change from the regular LS2, Cross, Sparx, KBC chain of helmets here in xbhp. Looking forward to a review of sorts on the helmet. Could you post pics of you wearing the helmet so we could get an idea as to how big it is.

Thanks Sizewise its similar to Daijya and Shell is different for each size ... Will give sort review on it as soon as possible ...

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

Yep , bought this one recently ... Fit is good, build quality feels better than Daijya ...

Just wanted to clarify this doubt , According to LS2 website (US) , LS2 and NUVO are sister brands ... Is this true ??

Thanks dude. The shopkeeper was quoting me a price of less than 400 bucks for a new visor.

Try LS2 or cross. You can look for it on Lalbagh road. It is filled with helmet shops. Try helmet paradise & do bargain hard for a decent price.

Can you please tell us about the weight of this helmet, i contacted one DSG dealer of Cochin and he said it's much heavier , is it true?

Got my sparx white lightning today. I had ordered this from shopyourworld 5 weeks back. My experience with shopyourworld was very frustrating as the customer care guys had no idea where this helmet was. I got frustrated after calling them everyday repeatedly.So I cancelled my order last week. But suddenly the helmet appeared today on my doorstep :O

Total cost paid - 3135 only(saved on import duty as i ordered this as a gift)

So here are the pics

Guys where can I get sparx helmet in Mumbai ?
