> LS2 Dragon

Hi Guys,

I have been using a LS2 - Dragon for some time now, I was on lookout for some good replacement. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Points to be kept in mind
1. Light Weight ( Dragon is comparatively heavier than other LS2's)
2. Wind noise ( should be better than Dragon)
3. Clear visor (Prferrably anti-fog)
4. Price 4k (would shell out a bit more if necessary)
5. How about the air-pump system can i afford one .

All in all the helmet should be better than the current one.

Cheers.

Budget: Rs 2500 ~ 3000
A good helmet, to block irritating sounds on high speeds (110+ kph)
The visor should be optional ON/OFF
What are the best options in the market?

LS2 are the latest craze, even you can get Cross , not sure about wind noise in cross, but LS2 are ok at high speeds

If you want to upgrade from LS2, then the answer to your question has been addressed several times in the previous pages. Would suggest you stretch your burget a little more to get a good helmet.

Hey all, is there a 'used helmets' market as well? I own a 2 year old Cross helmet which I got for 2k, now I want to upgrade to a SOL. Was wondering if I can sell of my current helmet once I get the new one.

(Tried searching in this thread but could not get any results)

And any comments about Yohe?
I have met Raneet, he said no irritations on high speeds.

Uncanny!

Spartan ProGear - the SOL India distributors, just launched a few days back, an offer to buy-back used helmets - any brand in good and usable condition. Upto Rs.500/- for the old helmet when you buy a SOL from the 68s and SF01 series.

The plan is to donate the buy-back/used helmets to spread helmet awareness amongst college students/youngsters who can't afford a product of some standard. Since the intention is to provide safe gear to those who can't afford a decent product, the buy-back price depends on the quality and condition of the old helmet.

This is a company - sponsored social responsibility initiative and therefore only available at their flagship store. Mail them for details.

Any DIY for helmet mohawk?

A man in my locality has this sort of thing above his helmet. Its red coloured spiked hair. Sometimes he puts on the mickey mouse's ears on the helmet! Rides a bullet classic with a bag behind him. Looks like some foreigner to me.
Passersby just keep on watching!

That is why I want it . I have thought of using double sided tape for glue so that I can remove it whenever I want, but I am confused what to be used for the mohawk...

I think u can use thick cardboard sheets (brown coloured, grain textured) for the solid structure.

Velcro sheets will be help !



May be you can use the ends of your old carpet for this !

Feedback required

I haven't used or even seen one, so I can't comment. The LS2 is popular because of its affordability. I use a SOL 68s myself.

Could you share your experience with the SOL helmets? How is the comfort ,noise insulation .Does it have good ventilation to keep the insides of helmet cool in hot weather?

Yes thats also on my mind, and unable to get strong rubber from anywhere

Carpet look would be too much actually , I am going for the pic that I posted....

Using mine for the last 1 year over 18k kms. Genuine DOT certified, good build quality, good comfort, plush, removable and washable CoolMax interior, very good circulation with many vents, very good visor quality. Check out a review from another member here - SOL Helmet Review

Many Chennai XBhpians and Madras Bulls using it now.
