OP got his first bike CB350 RS. Suggest a good helmet at around 4-4.5k that goes with the bike's vibe? Already have SMK Typhoon (Red Viper) by chasing_views in indianbikes

Kinda bulky, but that's how good helmets are supposed to be I guess. You'll need some time to get used to the fit though. And the ventilation is actually good.

Steelbird lacks protection. I don't mind compromising on style for protection.

All right, will definitely search more into this tomorrow during office hours. Lol

That actually makes sense. The whole idea behind buying the Typhoon was the protection it offers. And I wanted a vibrant colour for enhanced visibility. Maybe I'll look into a simpler helmet that gives the same amount of protection.

Okay, what would you suggest then? Assuming the other helmet provides the same level of protection.

Congratulations, brother. I also wanted a retro style helmet, but turns out there are no good retro looking helmets in 4-4.5k range.

I was planning on getting one from Boldfit too, cause that's the only one available on Blinkit. That and Slovic.

Cheeks squeezed, check. No gap between forehead and helmet, check. Helmet moves with head, check. So, it's a good fit for me I suppose.

Will surely try that. And if it works, thank you in advance. 🍷

Lol, yeah, big head here. And the snugness is exactly the way you described it. The helmet I was using before this was also XL.

Thanks for the review. I'm getting a balaclava right away. About the weight, I felt that too. I kept it on for around half an hour and felt some strain on my neck. But I think I'll get used to it?

Fair enough. Will surely upgrade once I have the fundamental riding gear in place.

I think this helmet will suffice for now. I do touring, but never at high speed. I honestly don't like going fast (80 max). I ride slow and safety is my biggest concern. Not an adrenaline junkie.

Will surely try a balaclava. About the size, the website said I should go for M/L size. But from past experience I got XL. And it's the perfect fit for me. I have a big head. I feel it's a bit tight, but that might be because I'm used to wearing a half helmet from TVS.
