I got cheated. By over 500 bucks. Balaji Helmets. Near Urvashi. I could sense like a sucker as I walked out. They seem to quote arbitrary prices. This guy behind the counter quoted 4,200 to me. I negotiated a couple of hundred and while he was fetching the piece, I heard another counter guy quote 500 less to another person who just walked in. When my sales guy came, I quoted this and he was not very happy but agreed to give at that price. And then I realized that I was being fooled. That price too was over 500 more than your price. Be careful of Balaji Helmets. They quote way above the price they sell. Bargain by 35% if you still choose to go there. |

Balaji helmets and Helmet Paradise (next to MTR hotel) belong to the same people. Bargain hard and stick to your ground. Pretend to walk out and they'll sell it at your price. Beware especially when buying jackets, gloves etc. When i wanted to procure a pair of gloves i was quoted 2k more than its list price (DSG revive costs 1900 but i was quoted 4k for it). I placed an order online and got it delivered within 24 hrs. |

Yes,the Balaji helmets are the most cunning cheaters in have seen!! Even i got cheated there when i bought a Vega helmet.I bargained a discount of 300 bucks and finally when i paid the money they didnt give the bill saying that the amount i paid is without bill and if i want bill they will add tax extra:Frustrati . I dunno if Helmet paradise are any better! I vowed not to step foot in that shop once again! Aditya,you know any shop in bangalore where i can get helmets and jackets without getting fleeced? |

Picked LS2 Phobia from Helmet Paradise, Lal Bagh main road. Bought it for 2.6k after some hard negotiation. Initial quoted price was 3.6k Got 2 head masks also free with this. Also he gave a string bag to carry the helmet, hope all LS2 helmets comes with the string bag now by default. |

I think it would be a good idea to check out both Sparx and Joe Rocket both are available in India. Also check ebay you do get some really good deals at times. Bell Helmets had this famous tagline 'if you have a $10 head get a $10 helmet' Go for the best you can afford. Quality pays |

I have been through some 15-20 pages and now I am really confused on whats a good buy. My criteria is safety only and my budget will be upto 10k for a Helmet. Any suggestions on what brand I should go for ? |
a. order it online and get it down through a friend so you save on shipping, import duties and taxesSo which brands would i suggest? Depends on which option you want to take. :)
b. order it online and get it shipped directly here. This will attract customs duty (amount which depends on the moody customs guy) and shipping which costs a bomb (around US$ 50 IIRC)

1. Buy here. SparX, KBC, RJays, etc. are available in the price range you have mentioned but they cost a lot lesser abroad. 2. Buy it abroad - here again you have 2 options: a. order it online and get it down through a friend so you save on shipping, import duties and taxesSo which brands would i suggest? Depends on which option you want to take. :) The popular brands are Arai, Shoei, Shark, Scorpion, Nolan, HJC, Icon, etc. Did I confuse you further? :D |

I bought my helmet from PRS. Speak to Vicky Jaising and refer my name (or my bike ;)) He will be more than happy to help you. PRS is very professional yet friendly and prompt in their transactions. Just keep in mind that you will be paying a premium for all imported stuff you buy in India, PRS or otherwise. Edit - Check this out too. Also check out the review on www.webbikeworld.com on the link provided in the site. Here is the parent site. |

Yes, the Sol SL68s is sold abroad under the Gmax brand: The review can be found here: GMAX GM68S Helmet - webBikeWorld In fact, I purchased the Gmax GM68s after reading this review. The airflow isn't as great as the review makes it out to be, but it is still a very good helmet, especially for the Indian price being quoted on the link posted by Aditya. |
