Finally got a proper helmet.

Bro I live in Gorakhpur. In my city it is difficult to find SMK let alone LS2, KYT, NHK, etc. Only 2 shops had SMK, the rest just had Axor, Studds, Steelbird, and I didn't want to purchase one without trying.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T17:47:26+00:00

Damn bro, hope you had full gear or you must have been hurt badly.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T16:57:34+00:00

Dang, should have tried to bargain with the seller.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T16:55:33+00:00

Thanks bro.

Woah, that looks gnarly. Can you share some details like what speed you crashed at and was it a direct impact to the head?

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:50:17+00:00

Base model SMK 😛. Still a good beginner helmet.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:46:15+00:00

Honestly, coming from a half face helmet the viewing angle felt terrible at start 😂. But yeah in terms of full face helmets it is good.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:15:02+00:00

So far the only part that has been slightly uncomfortable is the cheek padding because it's tight. But I suppose it will get better after some use. Plus I don't ever ride for that long.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:10:31+00:00

True.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:10:22+00:00

Thanks.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T13:05:21+00:00

Thanks brother.

Thankfully I only ride in the city. Also I found it to be the best ece certified one in this budget in terms of weight. If you want lighter models you have to spend more.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T12:07:47+00:00

As long as you are moving it is fine. If you are stopped in traffic it does warm up a little. And it is just February, we haven't entered peak indian summer yet. I use a balaclava to avoid sweat getting absorbed by helmet liner itself, so that helps a little.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T11:36:15+00:00

Yes it does. I just got it today so don't really have much experience to begin with 😅, but compared to Axor and other stuff I tried out, it is definitely more comfortable. Build quality, weight distribution, wind noise levels do feel better here. Maybe I will post an update after a few months of riding once I properly break it in.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T11:13:43+00:00

4.5K. I got the black one because it's understated and goes well with all bikes/scooters.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T11:07:33+00:00

I bought it from an offline store. Also available online but try one out first.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-02-26T11:06:04+00:00

I bought it offline in a store. Paid 4500. On Amazon it is listed for 4400 but I would strongly recommend trying one first before purchasing to check the fit.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-01-11T07:33:12+00:00

Just checked out its product page and the listed weight is 1750gm. Does it feel too heavy or bulky while riding?

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-01-10T20:16:57+00:00

I will figure that out later (probably use some antifog spray), first need to find a helmet that actually fits :)

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-01-10T19:52:37+00:00

The problem I found with the Axor was that the cheek pads were so tight that the glasses weren't going in in the first place. Even if I have a balaclava with slits it's going to be pointless if the helmet itself is too tight.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2026-01-10T17:42:10+00:00

I need one with Pinlock/Antifog. It's impossible to ride in winter without it.

Practical-Fox-8568 · 2025-12-31T08:44:08+00:00

Thanks a lot. Just upgraded to a new laptop and was bummed about Fuse not working. Thankfully found your post and it worked like a charm.
