Helmets

[stefanm]

This has been shared before but pinging it up again. A very good helmet safety rating initiative by the UK government. The results are surprising :-)

SHARP Helmets - THE HELMET SAFETY SCHEME

Was going to post this myself, I think it was mentioned before on this thread.

It's definitely essential reading for those that want good protection as a priority, how many will take note and use this as a guide when purchasing their next lid, is another issue.

wow...that's a gud buy...its is 3.8k here...
this celitic is actually old LS2 Supra with some new graphics......
old wine in new bottle..

Ya I know but the helmet's fit and finish was so nice that I couldn't resist myself and getting it at 3k was not an easy task my friend

Shop owner quoted 3.5k finally got it for 3k..

That's is great, places like Ahmedabad shop keepers quote 7k for same and end up selling it at 4k...which color and graphics u got? Post pics if possible.

Looking to get a new helmet, almost zeroed in on SOL SL68s Yellow. Like to know whether it feels heavy during touring and the fit at high speeds.


Also like to know whether this Orange Color displayed in SOL international site can be sourced here?

Hello friends,
I need a new helmet and have considered LS2 Phobia and Celtic (the one with airpump tech).
Went to AM helmets ( or is it AH Helmets?) on Link Road Kandivali, after a bit of haggling the best that they could offer me is as under:
Phobia: 2800 INR
Celtic: 3500 INR

Is this a fair price? There is one more shop in Goregaon on the link road, will check there too. Any other places in the suburbs I can check?

Also the Celtic comes with a Mercury visor, how would the visibility be in the night? Spare visors (transparent) are available at around 550 each.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards

These are the same price I was quoted but I bargained phobia(FF350 i guess) to 2500 and Celtic(FF 358) to 3000. And finally went for celtic. FF 358 has better padding(fully removable and washable) 50 gms heavier than FF 350 a better breath deflector and a wonder called air pump to give best fit and protection and FF 358 is 4 starred in SHARP ratring. I have a black smoked visor but I'll get a clear one for night rides.I would suggest clear visor is the only option for night.And FF358 has got a very easy visor removal system so keep a colored visor for day time and clear one for night..

You might want to check up at Funky's (if there is one in Mumbai) since I got my FF358 for 3200. FF350 were priced at 2500. This was like 3 weeks back here in Pune.

Thanks Bambi, the dealer is not willing to budge but guess will have to try.
I agree, the Celtic fits a lot better than the Phobia for sure and also quite liked the pump thingamagik.

Let me try speaking to another dealer, probably will get a better deal.

Cheers

Got my lid

Bought my lid today. It's a SOL SF01 Acme Green. My ride is the KTM Duke 200. I paid 5400 odd bucks (including tax) and got 2 skull caps plus one balaclava for free. I chose SF01 because of the positive reviews on GM68S plus the features like the bikini visor, the ventilation slits and the 3 stage LED lighting in the back. The bikini visor can be controlled by a knob on the top of the lid. I tried replacing the visor and it was a breeze.

The smaller lid with the Mario print is the one i bought for my son. I don't know if it is safe enough. It fits well enough. I paid 450 bucks for that. If anyone knows about good helmets for kids please shout it out. I wish i got a Mario too, he was one of my early heroes :-)
