And before you buy a new helmet, you can check out our helmet buying guide.
Vega Edge Full Face Helmet - Rs 998
This is the lowest-priced full-face helmet that still ticks many of the boxes. It claims ISI certification. Downsides are: heavier (~1100 g), inner padding is basic, visor clarity can degrade over time. Good if you want full face protection on a tight budget.
Steelbird SBA?7 Flip?Up Helmet - Rs 1,449
Modular helmets give you convenience in city stops. Users like its dual visor and that Steelbird has parts available nationwide. Downsides: flip-up mechanism in this price doesn’t feel premium. The weight and sealing around vents aren’t as good. But for frequent stops, this could make life easier.
Royal Enfield MLG Open Face Lightweight Helmet - Rs 1,950
This is the pick if you're mostly riding in heat, in slow city traffic, and want comfort over face protection. It’s open face, lightweight, decent build for its type. Users like its lining and style, though exposure (chin, jaw) is entirely open so riskier if you ride near highways or where crashes might involve frontal impact.
Studds Thunder Matt Full Face Helmet - Rs 1,965
This is a rather decent helmet for its price. While it has more expensive variants with more graphics, the solid colour variants are under Rs 2,000. This helmet looks decent and is ISI-certified. The spoiler on the back of the helmet gives it a sporty look.
Studds Trooper Flip?Up Full Face Helmet - Rs 1,990
It offers more coverage, better visor options (dual shade / clear), and better straps. Users appreciate the dual visor for sun and clear, and that quality feels a bit more solid. But it is still basic compared to higher-priced gear in fit and noise sealing. If you can stretch a little, this gives more features for the money.
