Any helmet in Studds, Vega or Steelbird which gives good ventilation? I saw Studds Premium Vent model, but not so good looking. Recently took a Vega Trojan but was not comfortable and hence sold it , now desperately looking for a good full face helmet . If ventilation available it will be good. LS2 or Cross doesn't fit in WEGO's under seat storage. Experience at Helmet Paradise Bangalore was not so pleasant, doesn't give much time to look around for helmets.

Strange that LS2 helmets, that are priced around 2.5k in Chennai/Bengaluru/Pune are priced 3.7k-4.5k in Hyderabad. Considering that a 2nd class sleeper ticket costs around 250 Rs (one-way). I guess it is better to travel down to these places and get the helmet and still save some money for a couple of beers.

Best way to eliminate wind noise is to wear earplugs.. or try putting some cotton in your ears. I have yet to experience a helmet that is silent at high speeds.

Does anybody have experience of helmets available in India, that are silent at high speeds?

K3 is known to be pretty silent for its price range-but then i dont think its officially available in India.
then obviously the certain top of the line AGV/ARAI/SHOEIs are very silent

I have been doing too much of R&D for my helmet industry in india and i have found out so many facts.
1) ISI standard is not the best in the world
2) Indian Automobile market is filled with cheap helmet's beteen 100 to 300 rs.
3) Many indian helmet manufactureers are the one manufacturing for makers like KIWI, AGV, Yamaha Italy, & many more.
4) Maximum helmets which are sold in indian market specially imported ones are 90% fake only 10 % of these helmets are origional.
5) indian helmet manufacurers are meeting the standtrds of snell DOt and Euro standards.
6) Reason we do not get good helmets are the most sold helmets are cheaper one as we have the biggest commuter segment in the world.
7) The manufacturers have tried by launching very good helmets in india but have failed E.g Studds Scorpion INR 4500. Steelbird Gpone won the best product of the year award.
8) Indian politicos are paid by these manufacturers who are manufacturing low profile or cheaper helmets to not implement the ISI helmet wearing necessary, which as per motor vehicle act is mandatory but every state can decide whether to implement or not.
9) We all want good jazzier helmets but jazzier looks will not save your skull at the time of crash it will hook your head in trouble not only your people you rae close to also.
10) Studds, Steelbird are bringing tmany good helmets coming in indian market within this year.
11) If you need good helmet's for your self reply on my post tell me your desired speed and will suggest you which helmet you should take.

Planning to go for an LS2 Moby , from an ebay.in listing.

How to know if it's genuine ?
Even if taken from a local dealer,how to know whether it's genuine or not ?
Question for everyone !

Someone please let me know how much is the expected price of Vega Shadow. I've been quoted 3200 odd bucks. But at the back it has and ECE sticker. Not sure if this is original.

And also, how much should I be giving for Sparx S-07 Ride Hard and S-07 Master? (Pics below)

Alternately, I can go for a Scorpion Exo 700, but then have to wait for early next year for that. (Friend coming from the US)

Please advise on which one should I go for?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Why are you buying a Vega at that price? You have much better options like Cross & LS2

You spoke my mind. How much is your budget by the way?

Yeah you're right. I'm more interested in the Sparx or the Scorpion. Already have an LS2 (the gloss black one, FF301).
That is why needed to confirm the price that I should be giving away for the Sparx, because I'll have to wait a long time for the Scorpion.
