How much is a good Hybrid Bike?

Does anyone know how much a good motor bike helmet would cost?

  • need to buy a helmet for my son and want to get a good one but have no idea how much money i should take.

  • Answer:

    You have received the correct answers, except from "Future Organ-Donor Boy" up there, Bri-bri. The only thing I would quibble with is the giving of a straight "amount" for a helmet. There are vast oceans of helmets (odd image, that) out there to choose from and most will be identified by a sticker as having been certified for road use. The key to choosing a helmet is the fact that everyone's head shape is unique. The fit of a helmet is CRUCIAL. It must be snug, but not tight. It must fit all around, and not just side-to-side or front-to-back. The helmet that fits your son may be on either end, or in the middle, of the ranges given. Also, there are numerous options on strap buckling. Some have "D" rings, some have adjustable snap-buckles, some use a combination of other methods. Also, there are several basic styles - full-face, open-face, half-helmet (called a "skid lid" here in the states and generally not adequate protection), and the "flip front" or "flip face" helmets that offer some of the benefits of full and open face, but not all of either. Pricing on helmets can range from around 40 Euro (going by current dollar-Euro conversion) to thousands for the ulta-safe, super-equipped, one-off custom. So having said that, what's to recommend? Take your son to the shop. See what he likes. If it fits and has a sticker, get it. Simple. Myself, I live in a hot climate (Savannah, GA, USA), and do combined city-highway riding. I have a Nolan N-1 flip-face. It has an adjustable buckle strap, and takes two hands to work the mechanism to raise the chin-bar. It cost me about 100 Euro, but suits my needs well. Cheers.

A helmet would cost from 35 pounds/$70 for a standard to about 300p/$600 for a well known brand.Depending on what your head is worth?? There is a new helmet on the market now which retails at $500/250p.Don't know what brand it is but it will take over the world in motorcycle safety. The helmet has a reflective rear vision mirror built inside of the helmet.I recommend you source this 1 out. On the market in Australia. So it's to protect your melon,What's worth to you?

Nitro helmets are fantastic value for money and are worn by racers expect to pay between £80 - £120 Arai are the best on the market no question these cost from £250 upwards, Shinya Nakano walked away from a 200mph crash in 2004 wearing an Arai helmet and bounced down the track on it (I bought one within a couple of days) Above all else ensure you buy a helmet from a reputable dealer, the helmet should be fitted to him so never, ever buy one on line fail to do this and it can be the difference between injury or not. If you have a branch locally I would recommend Hein Gericke, they are second to none in customer service and offer helmets in all price ranges. In simple terms consider what his head is worth to you when you make your decision and if it is not an ACU gold standard don't buy it!

Between £50 and £200 in the UK

Depends on your budget. Always buy brand new, for obvious reasons. They've all been tested to british standards, so depends on brand etc. Arai and Shoei are good makes, but hideously priced. Expect to part with up to £500. But you could spend far less. You should take your son with you, because the helmet needs to be tried on for fit. To check if the helmet is a good fit..... put the helmet on, fasten it correctly, get your son to put his chin on his chest, then try to pull the helmet off forwards over the front of his head, from the back. (does that make sense?) If it comes off it's no good. It would come off in a crash. Good luck. Your son is lucky!

i know youre an Indian so the euro wont work . In India you'll get Helmets for 450 Rs but it should cost atleast 900 rs or else it will do more harm . the helmet should split into 2 in case of an accident but if its not good one the it wont happen an well have to break the helmet some how while our head is still inside . so look for some thing above 900 rs Volga is some thin you ll get for 900 (with isi) there are helmets -2000 rs but it has its worth coz it very light youl feel like wearing it .but Volga will be just fine mine is Volga
