I was in the Auto Expo in Chennai, and I was looking around for helmets, I was looking around if I could find something cool, and then I saw a monkey staring at me, it was the Axor Stealth helmet, man it looked gorgeous. And today here we are bringing you the review of the same Axor Stealth after using it extensively for good three months.Looks and design:
The helmet looks gorgeous in all possible ways, especially the decals and its design. The one that I got is a mixture of blue, black, and yellow colors. It also gets the decal of a crazy monkey🙉 behind. The design is very sporty and can easily pull eyeballs to itself.The helmet comes with five color options. It gets an injection molded polycarbonate shell with DOT and ECE certifications. The helmet gets a D-ring locking mechanism which provides a better safety compared to the normal locking mechanisms. The D-ring gets an Axor Stealth name printed on it as well. It gets a push button for the coolers or internal sun visors that are attached inside. The quality of materials used are top notch and is worth the price paid. Ever since I started wearing this helmet, a lot of people inquired where I got it and also wanted to buy the same. I loved the overall quality of the helmet and I've also made it my daily commute helmet.
Visibility:
The helmet gets a crystal clear visor is anti-fog treated that prevents fogging inside the helmet. The helmet also gets an internal sun visor. Sometimes the sun visor itself is enough to stop the wind blast. This actually works up to 80km/hr where the wind blast inside the helmet is less when the sun visor is down. The sun visor is pretty large and does not give you a black and color vision. The vision is completely black when the sun visor is down. The tint is not very heavy nor it is too less, it is just perfect for the blazing sun. The mechanism of the visor is pretty smooth, it comes down easily when the button is pushed. The visor itself is very clear, small scratches do not affect the vision at all. Fogging does happen a little bit it gets cleared off soon. Comfort and ventilation:
The helmet gets snug fitting cheek pads, they feel very soft and comfortable. The best thing about them is that the sweat is properly absorbed, in some helmets you end up sweating too much, it's far better in this. The head fit is also perfect. The helmet gets a chin guard as well. It gets 3 inlet and 2 exit vents. The air circulation in the helmet is really good, but the problem is that it is super stuffy when the bike/scooter is stuck in traffic. The stability is amazing, no movements up to 135kmph, post which there is a little wind noise. I've used it for long rides and trust me, it does a great job of offering supreme comfort, great visibility and top-notch build quality.
I know there's a lot of competition for the helmet and the competition is very popular and people want the competition more, but you have a better winner for a lesser price - Axor Stealth priced at INR 4994/-.Review By: Rishath Suresh
