28/12/2020 Looking for a brand-new helmet? Motorcycle helmets are one of the most key things that every rider must have in addition to other riding safety gears, in order to stay safe on the road. If this is your first time looking for a new helmet, or if you are looking to replace an old helmet, ask these 5 questions before buying a helmet. This will help you pick the most relevant product for your needs.
What is my riding style?
The first and foremost question that you need to ask yourself is what is your riding style. Do you make a lot of long-distance trips? Are you primarily going to use the motorcycle for short commutes to the office or college? Or is it a mixture of both? Once you know the riding style, it becomes a lot simpler to decide upon the type of riding gears that you must select. For example, those going on long distance road trips will prefer a full-face motorcycle helmet for its superior safety and weather protection. For short office commutes, and open face helmet, or modular helmet might be a better option. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to personal preference.
How much money should I spend?
Premium motorcycle helmets come across a wide range of price. It is very easy to lose track of the amount of money you want to spend on the helmet, as well as on the riding gears. That is why, it is highly recommended that you set a budget before checking out options. In India, a basic helmet starts from somewhere around Rs.1500, and can go as high as Rs.6000 for premium helmets depending on the number of safety and comfort features you opt for. To some extent, the price of your motorcycle should also be figured in while making this decision. If you have a scooty then the amount of investment towards riding safety gears will be comparatively lesser if you own an expensive adventure tourer, or racing bike.
What gears should I get?
While helmet is the basic of all riding gears, it is highly recommended that you get the complete ensemble of riding gears including a pair of riding gloves, a pair of riding boots, and a riding jacket. the combined cost of all of these different items will be somewhere around ?5000 to ?10,000 depending on the quality and brand. If making the investment at one time does not seem logical to you, make a staggered purchasing decision and get all the girls one after another within a period of 2 or 3 months.
Do the gears compliment my motorcycle?
Safety and comfort should be your primary focus while purchasing motorcycle riding gears, but in addition to that you should also look for complementary colors. If the colors match the brand color of your motorcycle, everything looks in place and perfect to the eye. For example, if you own a Kawasaki motorcycle, green good complement the look, and similarly orange will complement if you have a KTM motorcycle.
How long do I intend to use the gears?
Last but not the least, a key qualifier that helps you make the best purchasing decision ask how long you intend to use the motorcycle riding gears that you are about to invest in right now. If you are running for transitional period and you intend to invest in a better motorcycle as well as gears at a later point of time, there's no point in investing a lot of money in the gear either. However, that said, premium motorcycle helmets and riding gears last a long period of time which can easily outlast your current motorcycle and continue to give value even when you have a better alternative later on. On the other hand, if you are looking for riding gears for a long-term proposition, there's no point in cutting corners. In both cases, it might be a better investment strategy to get the best quality riding gears which will continue to serve you and keep you protected even when you change the motorcycle later on.
