It is imported, the indian agv didn't impress me much the fit and finish is too bad.

@nickoo, I am too looking for a good place to buy one.
A good friend of mine told me that,Delhi is nearest place to look for,But he said situation might change soon,something good might be avilable in Punjab(LDH).
If you get to know about a good place,do let me know!

Cheers!

Sexy helmet prajeep, and the price is quite reasonable too. What series does this helmet belong to, model name?

Also, did they have any stock in XXL?
