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?

Picked up this helmet for my black Ninja 250R,great VFM, mine has a glass reflective visor:

LS2 FF358 specs: Vega's export model

Weighs only: 1.2 Kg (comfortable for me )

Picked up one of these at Ryder City, Lalbagh Road, Bangalore to replace my vintage Studds Ultra; Paid INR 3400. It's got a black mica shield so I probably look a little like Street Hawk (aside from all the green under me). The dealer did not have clear shields but he asked me to check back in two weeks in case he got some. Quoted 500 bucks for a replacement shield. He also has glossy white, black with some liney graphics aside from the matt black I bought. Also spotted the FF384 and the FF350. He doesn't have the FF385. After I bought the FF358, I thought of asking about AGV because it was on his board and he said he was getting stocks next week in the range of INR 4K, 5K, 6K. Can't possibly be the K3 though, which is the one I've been eyeing. Maybe an S4. Or something specific to India.

The helmet is comfortable, though heavier than the Ultra it's replacing. I didn't feel the weight too much because it was a snug fit, unlike my old Ultra. Doesn't offer peripheral vision as good as the Ultra, but pretty good. Has a very good safety rating so I think it's excellent VFM. This is the first time I'm using a tinted shield though and I must say it did an excellent job of cutting out 3PM glare. Oh, and the tinted shield is also excellent if you own a fingerprint collection or want to start one

P.S. Has a small Vega logo and ISI mark on the side if anyone cares.

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

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-

- AGV GP-Tech Multi Full Face Motorcycle Helmet - BikeBandit.com

"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"
