Checked out the Airoh Spark 2 helmet: Why I feel its a VFM choice

Overall, the Airoh Spark 2 comes across as a good offering in that price range and could be a logical choice for people looking to upgrade from their current (sub) Rs 10K helmet.

Recently, I got to check out the newly launched Airoh Spark 2 helmet which retails for Rs 24,800. This is an ECE 22.06 certified sports touring helmet with a large drop down sun visor and an easy to use micro rachet strap. I know a lot of riders prefer the Double D ring system but for me, while touring, the micro rachet system makes life really easy for a rider.

One interesting design element of the helmet is that the chin vent is controlled by pressing (and not sliding) the flap on the chin. This took me some getting used to but on the go, it will be a simple, non-fiddly mechanism that helps the rider control the air flow, even if he / she is wearing gloves. The helmet's padding is plush, as it should be for a helmet that costs Rs 25K. I do like the sleek aerodynamic shape, as well. While browsing through the Highnoteperformance site, I found that only 5 colour schemes are available, and none of them really boast of attractive graphics.

What I couldnt avoid noticing was that as the visor was moved up and down through each step, there was a tiny bit of flex in it. Now, most riders will probably not pick up on this and even if they do, it may not be something that will impact a buying decision. That said, I didnt find the same flex in the visor of the original Spark which I compared side by side with this helmet.

For Indian motorcycle enthusiasts that are looking for a sports touring helmet in the Rs 20+ K budget, there arent all that many options to choose from. Overall, the Airoh Spark 2 comes across as a good offering in that price range and could be a logical choice for people looking to upgrade from their current (sub) Rs 10K helmet.
