3 Best Helmets For Women In India: Great Helmets For You To Start With!

We’re seeing more women motorcycle enthusiasts by the day and a lot of them are now buying their dream bikes and beginning their riding career. And honestly, that’s very heartening to see. If you’re one of those, one decision you should actually make even before buying a bike is buying a helmet. Our roads are unpredictable and things don’t seem to be getting any better, so riding gear is a must. And among all the gear you can get, the first purchase should be a good helmet. But then given the sheer number of helmets on offer, this extremely important decision can get a bit confusing. So to help you out, here are 3 helmets that are great tools to begin your riding career with: 

Axor Saber Series - Rs 4,220 onwards 

First on this list is the Axor Saber series, the prices for which begin from Rs 4,220. The helmet can be had in 6 different designs and the prices go up to Rs 4,670. For that, you get a helmet which weighs around 1650 grams and has ISI and ECE 22.06 certifications. 

Axor itself gives you a 1 year warranty, 7 days size replacement and free delivery. In case you’re confused about which size to get, measure the circumference of your head with a measuring tape and accordingly buy a helmet using Axor’s size chart. 

If you’re a fan of Naruto, there are 2 Saber helmets with Naruto graphics on them and they both look very nice indeed. Even the others have great designs and whether you want a bright dark blue one or a stealthy matte black, there’s something for everyone. The helmet also has a cool looking spoiler, if that’s your thing too.

KYT Striker - Rs 5,750 onwards 

Next on the list is the KYT Striker, one of the nicest entry level helmets on sale in India. The helmet’s prices begin from Rs 5,750 and go up to Rs 6,950. The biggest upgrade on this helmet is that it has a double D-ring system. It’s basically a mechanism consisting of 2 D-shaped rings that help fasten the helmet onto your head better. This means your head can fit snug into the helmet in a much better way since you can adjust the tightness of the double D ring. And a helmet that fits onto your head better will protect the head better. 

Apart from that, the Striker has adjustable air vents, a spoiler, pockets which are ready to be fit with a Bluetooth intercom device and of course, an ECE 22.05 certification. Again, the Striker is also available in some very good looking graphics. There are some dark matte colour schemes with red inserts which look excellent. A dark visor will cost you Rs 1,950, while a pinlock will cost you Rs 2,800. While getting the former is your choice, the latter is definitely a great investment to make for the foggy days. A pinlock essentially creates an airtight seal that is attached to the inside of your visor and helps prevent fogging.

KYT TT Revo - Rs 8,750 

And the final helmet on today’s list is the TT Revo which costs Rs 8,750. If you want your first helmet to feel like a premium, expensive helmet that’ll grab attention when you’re riding, the TT Revo makes for a great first helmet. And that’s the entire theme of the TT Revo: it feels like an expensive and well-made helmet, especially at this price point. Be it the quality of the pain, cheek pads, inners, shell, vents, it all feels properly made. Something as simple as being able to slide your spectacles inside the helmet feels quite easy. There’s a reason many of us in the BikeDekho office own the TT Revo.

Tipping the scales at about 1550 grams, the TT Revo is also quite a light helmet. Open the TT Revo’s official page and you’ll see that it’s on sale in nearly 40 colours. And honestly most of them look very good. There are the subtle darker shades if you want them and then there are the bright, attractive ones too, many of which are handsome replicas. 

Now if you’re thinking that the above-mentioned ‘accessible’ helmets are still quite expensive, we understand you. Riding gear as a concept is still relatively new to us and spending Rs 5,000-10,000 on a helmet can seem like a lot of money. But then helmets save the most important and vulnerable part of our body when we’re out riding and spending a good amount of money on a helmet is worth every penny. If you can, we’d recommend you to stretch your budgets just that little bit and get home a good, sturdy helmet which will keep you for many, many rides. It’ll easily last you 3-4 years and that’ll make it a great investment, for sure.
