Hello guys,
Bought an LS2 helmet in Matt Black color!
Comes with air go(adjustable chin pads with pumping mechanism) and overall, the helmet is very good.
The quality of interiors is nice and has 4 air inlet ports.
Pleased with the buy.

Anyone give me some good lid for Electra 350.

finding a good quality one that does not flip up during a spill at a good price is tough. I am just looking at Studds, Vega and LS2.

I am using a Vega Boolean for the last 6 months. I had an accident 1 month ago. Must tell the helmet saved me. Plus you get an internal visor(coloured) which acts as sunglasses in daytime. But the only negative is it is a little heavy as compared to Studds Ninja. But you will get used to it.

+1

+ it's open face = less safety.

+ it's open face = less safety.

Thanks for the quick and concise review bro. I heard it gets fogged very soon and is noisy at speeds above 80. How far is this true?

[anants_220]

Its a flip-up!!

Still not as safe as a full face !

[Garry_Menace]

Still not as safe as a full face !

Yes, agree to it but corrected just as to avoid the person getting wrong info. Moreover, yes we all know that full-face type are the safest, still flip-ups are not as unsafe as open-face.

hello guys....please help me out....

can i buy AGV K3 dreamtime helmet here in India.......?

Hi vishnus, I was looking for AGV helmets in Bangalore and I can tell you who doesn't have the Dreamtime - Orion Motors. They have some K-3 helmets (I remember seeing the Gothic Black) but the dude quoted 19.5K. I wonder if he meant 9.5K... he was checking out chicks on Facebook so perhaps he was a bit preoccupied.

I see ebay.in lists some K-3 imports at around 13-14K though I don't see the Dreamtime there.

I'll keep an eye out for the Dreamtime and let you know. Keep us posted on your shopping experiences.

UPDATE: I see someone has previously ordered on ridersdiscount.com from Bangalore. They seem to have reasonable shipping rates. You could try it if you don't find what you want in India. Again, I haven't used this website myself.

Helmet suggestions in Hyderabad

Hi guys.This is my 1st post here at xbhp.com. My budget is around 3k. I am on the look out for a helmet that has style and most importantly high on safety. At present I have checked out some LS2 and Vega helmets. At AdventureOnTheRocks in Madhapur the guy quoted 4.5k and 5.1k for the two designs of LS2 helmets(sorry dont remember the name or model no ) and at Biking Terminal in Somajiguda the least priced LS2 one was around 3.3k and Vega boolean with design was quoted at 2250 . In both the stores LS2 had an ECE certificate sticker(not embossed into the helmet ) and an ISI certified print at the side.
My question is:
1)Why such a price difference in the two stores in what looked like the same model? Is it good to spend so much on an ISI certified helmet?
2)I am really confused between modular and full faced helmets.Both has its advantages but I have read that in an event of a crash modular helmets tend to give away because its essentially made of 2 separate pieces. Should I decide the type of helmet design solely based on this vulnerability?The only modular helmet that I have checked is he vega boolean. How good is its quality? And what about whistling at high speeds??(I drive mostly in cities and might go for an occasional ride on the highway. My speeds are 40-60kmph and maximum of 80-100 kmph when the roads are empty).
3)Am i missing some other good models in my price range? Also please suggest some other good helmet stores in Hyderabad that has a decent collection of helmets.
And btw I am using a studds basic model black helmet at present . Its just that it doesn't suit my new white RTR180

First and foremostly......Welcome to xbhp
And secondly if you are intending to buy an LS2 in hyderabad my friend, then be ready to hear relatively higher prices. Due to some unknown reason hyd always had high prices on LS2s. My suggestion would be to get an LS2 from either delhi, mumbai or bangalore (either by friends or relatives). I got mine for 2600 & if i would have bargained hard i would have got it for even less. If you are OK with the price quoted then its fine. Most LS2's are ECE certified and yeah they are stickers not imprinted on to the helmet itself. Been using the LS2 piston head for a while now & am pretty satisfied with it hence i would recommend you the same (LS2).

If you are thinking of doing 80-100 speeds with an earplugs (or any other alternative) then its fine. The wind noise is pretty high in an LS2 which starts from some 60kmph. BTW had a look at cross?? Though i dint used one yet heard that they are good enough. & yeah try to take the newer model of LS2 which has integrated ventilators. The older ones with external ventilators might be sold for lower prices but they are very fragile & tend to break early.

The quality of ls2's at both places is same... its just that adventure on the rocks over prices everything,... he sells skull cloths for 510 rupees where as you can get them for 100 in mumbai...
Get ls2 from bangalore or something, if you come to a g2g meet of hyderabad, you can try different sizes of helmets and choose the one that fits you... for 3k in bangalore,you can get a ls2 new model(with integrated air inlets) and also air pump inside the helmet which will help you get a snug fit... and as madhav krishna suggested try checking out cross helmets also, most probably you will be getting a chrome type visor with your helmet, a transparent one costs about 400-450 rupees.
