Steelbird site says its 1159/- so i think price is ok.....steelbird nd studds r best indian brands....before buyin check for durability nd comfort ..and i think its modular helmet so check the chin flip-up mechanism is comfrotable..HISTORY IS NOT ABOUT WHO IS RIGHT BUT ABOUT WHO WRITES IT.......

Wouldn't suggest it - the fit of a helmet is the single most important thing in selection of a lid - definitely try before you buy. What's your budget?Originally posted by flame View PostWould buying a helmet online be good idea??

I had a simple plain black wrangler helmet previously. I just moved to Chennai a week back, so I gave the old one to a friend. Any good place in Chennai to buy a helmet, reasonable prices (I won't mind shelling a little extra for a good piece and I noticed your location is ChennaiOriginally posted by Sunnyside_up! View PostWouldn't suggest it - the fit of a helmet is the single most important thing in selection of a lid - definitely try before you buy. What's your budget?
).
Budget is not that crucial anyway, since, I don't want anything flashy or glitzy. A simple one won't cost in the league of some of the helmets I saw on this thread. (Just an assumption)

No harm in buying online, assuming you know the size that would be the perfect fit for you (as suggested by Sunnyside).Originally posted by flame View PostWould buying a helmet online be good idea??
I personally picked up my SparX helmet after ensuring I had tried out the helmet to zero in on the size. I ordered my helmet (& boots after about 4 months) from Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories ? BikeBandit.com, & the buying experience was more than pleasant.
Some of the online stores you can look at are: www.bikebandit.com, www.motorcycle-superstore.com, www.revzilla.com, www.ridersdiscount.com, www.kneedraggers.com, www.sportbiketrackgear.com, www.newenough.com. All these are based out of USA.
Check for reviews of the various helmets at webbikeworld.com (highly recommended before zeroing on a helmet)Last edited by tibby; 04-14-2011, 01:04 AM.

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

Got myself a vega corah
. white one to go with my white apache 
.. It fits just right. Not too tight or too loose. I used to use my dad's helmet which kept slipping out of place when I ride so I had to keep pushing it into position constantly. This one feels just right. Now i can concentrate on the biking
. Good buy for 1k.
Overtaking in unnecessary if the person in front of you is traveling at your desired speed or more
