mr. kalyanaraman and mahi i am dealer of helmets according to me steelbird and vega helmets is lightest in comparison with any brand and vega helmets is of top quality
My Vote For Steelbird Helmet, Because its Quality is very Good,,,,Quality is More Important for Helmet because Helmet Cover Our Head Enjury.
Stellbird is Best in My Opinion.
which helmet model is lightest weight (in any brand) ? Please let me know to buy.
ya i also want to know which helmet has lightest weight?
Yes, as far as helmet design, i cannot find any indian helmet that looks right. All Indian helmet companies seriously need to change their helmet design as well as their helmet designer.
I would like to know why are all indian helmets always look very ugly and oddly shaped. Studds, Vega or Steelbird are a big company but, can’t they atleast once make a helmet that looks right.
My vote goes for Vega. I have used it and I think it is the best helmet in India.
My vote goes for STUDDS.
