packaging
First of all, let’s talk about the packaging, then inside a box you will get a helmet in a black color bag. We liked the quality of the bag. However, thin lines have been given in the bag, which are not usually found in other bags. These lines have been given to protect the paint of the helmet. In such a situation, if the bag is kept with care, then it can last for many days. Apart from this, you will also find a guide book inside the box.
Design
Its look is very trendy and stylish. The special thing is that this helmet feels quite balanced on the head. Actually, usually open face helmets look quite big on the head, but you will not have any such complaint in this helmet. The look of this helmet looks quite appealing at first sight, which you will like at first sight. In this you will get round theme. Apart from this, better aerodynamics design has also been taken care of in it. This helmet comes in 7 variants. We have reviewed the Titanium/Orange color variant.

It has been given a fiberglass shell to protect the rider’s head. Its shell is made of fiberglass, which makes it strong from the outside. The company claims that world class safety standards have been given in it. The helmet is made using the balloon molding process.
Comfort
Now let’s talk about how this helmet is in terms of comfort? The fiberglass shell has been used in it, due to which it is quite light and its feel is revealed after wearing it. The grip of the helmet is great and that is why you will have a great wearing experience. Its visor is scratch resistant, so it provides excellent visibility. At the same time, the inner sun shield given inside it is of much better quality. In such a situation, you can wear this helmet without sunglasses in strong sunlight or strong light. Its inner visor offers excellent visibility even in the evening. You get a better grip in its chin strap. The harness of the helmet is quite soft, which does not cause ear or headache during long journeys. However, it will take some time to adjust in the beginning.

Its price on the company’s official website is Rs 9,379. You will get this helmet on Amazon at a discount rate of about Rs 5240. However, during the review, it was not showing on Amazon’s website. Whereas, it was out of stock on the company’s website.
USP
This helmet is very light and its fitting is very good. Apart from this, its look gives a very premium feel.
drawbacks
Ventilation space has been given in it (harness). However, the shell does not have any air vents for ventilation, which is a major missing. Apart from this, if you use external glass, then there is no hook at the back to stop the strip of glass, which is found in most helmets of this segment.
