Helmets

[flame]

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?

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 Chennai ).
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)

Would buying a helmet online be good idea??

No harm in buying online, assuming you know the size that would be the perfect fit for you (as suggested by Sunnyside).

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)

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.

Help to find CROSS

can anyone help me to find a descent CROSS helmet in chennai....
my budget id 3-4K....

Good Helmet upto 6k

Daijya and Nuvo helemts are available these days with planet DSG, so I thought to go for Nuvo Octane Green Helmet. I ride a Kawasaki Ninja 250r so need a helmet that goes good with it and is really comfortable.
So, I wanted to know are these Helmets worth their money or some other international brands come in the range of 6k

I have bought a LS2 from vega showroom at Andheri east. Fits nice and very comfy. the chin strap is fully adjustable for fit unlike my earlier Vega.
I bought it for Rs. 2800. got a balaclava free
BTW mine is LS2 espirit, model no. FF384.2, weight 1500 +-50 grams. But it feels weightless once on your head

Four of our customers will be receiving their Octane Green Nuvo's this week. We'll pass details of some customers for you to take their direct feedback. hands-on review from owners will be better for you.

Still need a budget buddy . Plain colours do cost less but not by a whole lot.

So fix up your budget and see how easier it becomes for you...you can rule out the odds and go for the best
