Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I was looking for a helmet with a fibreglass shell as well in the 15-20k range.

Wanted to ask if anyone might be having an idea iftif stores have the HJC FG ST with a more recent manufacturing date.

Another helmet which I have in mind is the Scorpion EXO-710

More experienced riders may have more idea regarding this.

I m using HJC FG ST.

its available in pune.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

HJC FG has a fiberglass shell whereas vemar zephir is polycarbonate shell.a big deciding factor,and on top of it, I guess HJC FG ST shares the same shell as FG 17 which is Snell certified. I would say just go for HJC FG ST.

No generic ones are not available. Atom uses Pinlock for MT V16 visor. Goodluck

What about MT atom pinlock, does it also have any generic ones available in the market or some other brand using the same pinlock at low cost.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Get the HJC.
SPG sells Pinlock 30 for Vemar for 3000.
(which is by the way same as SMK pin30 because pinlock only makes one design)

The pin30 for SMK costs ₹500.

I tried alot and like both helmets alot, Each have their own selling points. Inclined towards Vemar for it's Looks, available preferred color and model is recent I guess, HJC for the best reviewed and most popular in the segment.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hi All,

I am planning to upgrade from my 5 Year old SOL helmet, I have rounded the following below based on my budget.

1. MT BLADE 2
2. MT Rapide
3. Vemar Zephir

Can someone please help me in finalizing out of these 3 I am also open to options in this range till 15k tops. Including spare visor as well.

Purpose: Touring and Short distance rides. Not for daily commutes.

I am leaning towards Vemar especially for their broad view port. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Hope you all are doing alright. I had a quick question regarding the SOL Helmets India, I am not able to reach out to SOL India Official through any means. Has the support for SOL Helmets suspended here? Please let me know if anyone has any connections to share. I am looking for some spares for my SOL Helmet that I purchased sometime back. Thanks.

If you have that budget, please look at HJC or ScorpionEXO. The build quality and what you get for the price will still stun you.
Goodluck.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

The protectors aren't same at all. Go for a mesh jacket being in Delhi.

Read - only the certification level of the protectors is same. They come from different manufacturers and have very different coverage area.

Go through this thread and you can make a better choice at the end of the day. Goodluck.

Hey petroheads, this is my first post here so be gentle and also correct me where I’m wrong.

Just a few details about me:

I own a Bullet UCE 500 in Delhi. Though I use it only for long rides and not for short daily commutes. I wanted to buy a riding jacket and upgrade my riding gloves to full gauntlet leather gloves. I was happily looking at Rynox Stealth Evo 3 as the best option and Aspida Ares Full gauntlet gloves the total being around ₹15-16 k.

But now I’ve seen the Rynox Air GT 3 which also has level 2 protectors and also is half the price. Now I’m confused if I am being extravagant as I’m a student and mostly am studying for my Civil services exam and can go for trips at max twice a year. Although the budget is not a constraint but as they say a penny saved is a penny earned.

Should I invest in big daddy touring jacket or adjust for the city jacket with same protectors?
