Helmets

[haxor]

Eshan,
Thanks for the input.
As a matter of fact I have tried it also it was really comfortable.

Moreover though it is heavy the weight is evenly distributed and does not feel the weight unless it is measured.
The only flip side is it is fixed full mask and hence need to get used to.

But tell me honestly is it good for daily use?
The original ones comes with tinted black glass which I am changing to transparent ones. Hope this is OK.

Get the LS2, am using a LS2 for a while now and never experienced any neck pain.

What is your call among the above choices?

Man choice of helmets changes from person to person I'm giving brief info on my 3 lids....it'll be helpful to you... then decided what will be suitable for you......

1> MRC 313 : heaviest of the three ....padding is best among three removable and washable.....snug fit gives a secured feeling....ventilation is good ......price 1500/-
2> STUDDS RHYNO: Best among all indian made full face helmet weight 1450 gm price 1295/- .... gud fit gud ventilation....ISI marked....
3> VEGA OFFROAD: Lightest off the 3 ....fibre glass shell.....you wont ever sweat in it....and safety though not tested by me heard from people that passed crash tests with flying colors ....ISI marked but they are imported by vega .....price 1700/-

Hope it'll help you decide.....and if you ask me i'll tell you go for studds *Rhyno white model it'll be best suitable with your ride....

I ve been using the offroader since 3 weeks and it's pretty lightweight,stable at high speed[doesnt make ur head wobble].The ventilation is great ,u'll hardly break a sweat .My is the Graphix one in white so it's truly an eye catcher... it's narrow in the front so the cheeks get stuffed .But overall very good helmet seems strong also.

Upload some pics man!!!!

Dont go for boolean...highly unsafe....very poor quality and only has style..
Safety not at all preferred.....go for full face or non detachables ones...they do not break in shock....chances of boolean breaking is more!!!!

Anyway.. I am going to try out the helmets myself before I plonk my money on one.

Thanks Eshan.. This helped me in narrowing down the choices. I see a lot of people recommending LS2. Might go for it.

Yep LS2 is a good brand ...
Another tip i would like to suggest...
Before making the purchase have a small test ride with the helmet on....see if you can ride comfortably....see how the visibility is!!.
Check if you can move your head and view oncoming traffic.
If the helmet is heavy then try another one...These are minor lookouts but essential when you use the helmet for daily use.....
All the best mate...
Let me know if you have any more questions!!!!

Do post pictures once you buy it!!!!!!

SUNNY,
Yes u are definitely correct . In fact came across one LS2 Flip with Visor @ 7500/- which is beyond my budget.
However the weight distribution of LS2 is definitely beeter and fits very snugly for me.

Hence in all probability I am going for the Glossy Black LS2 with transparent visor around mid May.
Should be my birthday gift of White ZMR.

I think i know in which shop you saw that helmet. He is probably the only one selling that helmet in Kol. A small tip--that same helmet was recently bought by someone i know for 5000/-. The price could have gone down a bit.

You have got yourself the best Indian manufactured helmet. Has the best quality shell and padding i have come across, much better than the LS2s and Cross flooding the market off late. Wonder why Steelbird is not providing supplies to dealers.

BTW, can you please ask and let me know the price of the visor+visor mount and whether they have brought out the XL size lids or not? These GPones run a size lower usually

Guys... how are boolean helmets sold by Vega. These were the only ones I could find which come with flip ons and visor. Is anyone using boolean helmets. Let me kow how they are???

hi well i too have a boolean which unfortunately i bought and regret why did i buy it.

Well the story end here as boolean is kept in one corner with the other helmets. I love to collect them and do wear them i have studds ryno, gp1, studds ninja 2g flip latest purchase & vega Boolean flip shared the snaps and all the other half faces given to my staff i had 3 of them.

Well my first choice of wearing a helmet is studds ninja 2g dam good very comfy, then ryno another best brand worth it i have installed a Bluetooth to it wearing it only on Sundays in the evening when go for long trips, gp1 unable to wear as the glasses r broken and have to buy new one from delhi. ryno is my all time fav.. very good quality fitting etc.etc.

[BAMBI143]

Can any body put some light on how much a spare visor of studds rhyno will cost .....accidentally broke the visor ......the helmet shop i bought it from asking 335/-.....

[Horror]

I remember buying a visor for my normal studds helmet for 175/-.
