Helmets

[ashwin208]

Guys,
Got a new lid today. LS2 Crown. Bought it from Helmet Paradise, Lalbagh Road, Bangalore

The Guy Quoted Rs 2800. Finaly got it for Rs 2500. Actually i didn't bargain much. hope it's a good price. I was so confused after seeing all the LS2 helmets together, Loved all actually felt like buying all , then Went for the Perfect fitted one, Also loved the Crown because it gives a funcky touch with the colour of the printed crown. I always liked the Rossi's helmet because it had all the funky elements

Pics Attached.

For me it was the other way around. Searched for Dragon, ended up with BigOne.

Crown looks awesome when I bought my helmet ( LS2 big one - red and black ) , I looked at all these new designs from ls2 .. But the problem was , these helmets belong to the LS2 ff-350 series of helmets ( phobia , cartoon are all part of this series ). The phobia and cartoon dont let me put my glasses on properly so I decided against any of the ff350 helmets.
So i ended up with big one and i simply LOVE it !! super solid , been using it for 3 months now , pics are in the thread somewhere. It doesnt have any funky graphics but looks nice. and its easily the best feeling helmet for the price ( i paid 2.7k ).

Only two stores have LS2 lids in Wellington. And prices are much higher than those in other cities + limited stock/design and size.

@ speedemon - Nice helmet ! How much did it cost? Could you post some pics of the padding?

@ Neil.Jericho - Sure buddy! Here are some pics of the padding. I bought this helmet when I visited Singapore for some work. Did my research online and found a good store (read as heaven) for helmets and other motorcycle parts / accessories etc. PM me if you want the address, in case you want to get it from there. I paid ~250$ Singapore for it, which is roughly Rs9,000, more or less the same price online, only thing is I did not have to pay duties and shipping! Also got a very cool looking motorcycle helmet bag for free, with the no 46 emblazoned on it!

Absolutely right, had been to helmet shops near Urvashi theatre, B'lore, all shops are stocking LS2 in high numbers, salesmen are literally begging to buy them, we need to just negotiate at various shops to get the right price. Last week I saw one guy gave 2K for LS2, that too with no much negotiation, Cross is available for starting 1.5K, most Indian brands 5-20% off on MRP. Better go one or two friends(LS2 buyers) & you can get for less than 2K.

i am planning to buy a new lid to match my new coming soon CBR250R (Red/silver).. Can any one suggest me a helmet with similar combo?? i like the LS2 cartoon.. but never seen it in red.. but heard it also comes in.. So would be cool if someone can post any pic of the same or similar combo..

I also loved this iicon helmet.. white/red matches with my yamaha.. can someone tell me how much it costs?

Its Icon Airframe Crossbone Racer Helmet. It should be around 18 -20K INR according the price I have checked. You have more options for that price range.

Vipin,

On a serious note need to partner you to get one ONE Helmet for me also.

Can you post some available LS2 Full Gloss BLACK Helmets with transparent VISOR?

Madhav,
Lovely one but is it available in Full gloss Black without any graphics and TRANSPARENT Visor.
Is it same or different from the one marketed by VEGA?
Obviously I need the nice bag also.

I guess there is already one matt black available by the LS2 but i cant say the same about a gloss one & yes it is available with TRANSPARENT visor too. The bag is free with all the LS2 helmets. LS2 is the same brand marketed by vega. IMO vega offers a very few models of LS2 to choose from.

Hi guys
I bought myself this helmet last month - AGV K3 Gothic. Its an amazing helmet, extremely light and very comfortable. There is some wind noise at very high speeds (+110 kmph), but is quite silent at lower speeds. The inner padding is removable and washable.
I have been using this helmet for a month now and I am very happy with it. Would definitely recommend it! Take a look at some pics.

From where you got this one
please specify the cost and weight of the same...

Yeah, the full black gloss (without any graphics) is available in the FF series of LS2 but with the mercury-type tinted visor though you can change it to transparent one.
And it is the one marketed by Vega. You will get a bag with it too.
