Helmets

[kiran_borra]

Hi Guys,
I'm planning to go for a new helmet...
Main Purpose to be served is:
- Should be aerodynamic with minimum lag at high speeds above 150
- Should be silent from inside
- And good ventilation from the vents when opened

Presently i finalized on KBC VR-4R Carbon (link below):

Anyone who is using this helmet presently or any other suggestions in the similar line would be very helpful

I loved the AGV GP-Tech but its too much of a stretch for my budget

Waiting for your valuable inputs guys

Thanks Abhijeet. Anyone from a different city can confirm if it's alright to get a Sparx at that price? And, also how would one confirm if it's an original one?

Sounds ok. I'd looked at some S-07's at Orion Motors Bangalore and I vaguely remember a 6-7K figure. The only graphic I saw there that stuck in my mind for some reason was the Hornet. You can give them a call. Numbers on their website.

Hey, have you checked out the usual closeouts/sales? Here are some at a discount though that would mean a sacrifice in terms of graphics-

"Carbon fibre" reminds me of a "Yohe" helmet I saw at Orion Motors Bangalore and it was surprisingly light. I picked it up and asked the price and then put it right back down before I scratched it or anything I don't know how good Yohe is. Can't find any reviews online. Anyone have anything to say about this brand?

Thanks EverShine. Although I reckon I'm getting a decent deal on this one, I think I'll wait till early next year to get a KBC/Scorpion from the US at roughly about the same price. Ahh, greed strikes!

Get a Cross/LS2. They have quite decent options at your price point.
The only option for you would be to put on your specs after you put on your helmet, in my opinion.

Even i wear spectacles, and use a full faced ls2 chrome, last time when i went for shopping i took my helmet with me and selected a model which doesnt create a problem while wearing helmet, search with patience and you'll find a really good one.

Also, there are 2 types of ls2's mainly, one is basic which has the same shape of ls2 dragon, other has the shape of ls2 speed, cartoon, crown etc,.. the later ones are more effective in stopping formation of fog.

@Dreamseller & Saipranav: Thank you for your inputs...will try LS2 Today...
any comments on Indian made AGV Helmets?

The one on the left looks like a regular MPA AGV (Indian AGV) helmet which has been painted to replicate a Valentino Rossi scheme. The regular helmet is available for less than 2k. Havent seen new stock in a while.

VR4R is very good for its range-check out the ones from HJC too.

Id higly recommend to skip "YOHE"

Havent seen new stock in a while.

Good to know. Probably people who would want to own an AGV at a budget would go for it (Me included! ). Also any online stores that stock these? I don't think we can shop online from Auto Queen.

Does anybody own vega Trojan?? How good is it??

I think AutoQueen would be willing to send the helmet across to Madras. Give him a call and check.

Was flipping through Top Gear magazine and saw an advert for Nolan helmets. I guess there is somebody in Bombay who is officially importing them now. Not sure about prices though. Will put up the details soon. Good to see more availability of good helmets in India. Hopefully dealers will come up in other parts of the country as well.
