Suomy Apex Helmet

by

The Suomy Apex helmet has been designed for maximum internal comfort, reliability and rider safety. Its aerodynamic shell has carefully placed channels to direct the air flow from the front to the back. These channels also reduce aerodynamic turbulence, thereby reducing the internal noise. The ventilation system has been designed in such a manner that the lid remains in place even at high speeds. The price range begins at Rs 15,000.

The RSI is the second top-of-the-line lid from the French manufacturer and this one has all the features of the regular RSI, which include unique air intakes, excellent aerodynamic shape of the shell and a comfortable inner lining. The shell of this lid, however, is made from a combination of carbon and aramid, which provides superior strength and light weight. The prices start at Rs 25,000..		 3. Arai Chaser V
The new Chaser V from the leading motorcycle helmet manufacturer, Arai, is a continuation of the popular Chaser series. The shell of this new lid is made from super fibre laminate and has a wider aperture for improved vision. The inner lining and ventilation system have also been modified to provide better comfort. The prices range begins at Rs 25,800 and goes up to Rs 30,000 for replica versions.
4. The Superbike Redefined by Marc Cook
The Ducati 1098 and 1198 have been receiving good reviews and applause from the world media and Ducati enthusiasts.

Garware Motors and S&T Motors denies Hyosung buyout

A few weeks back, the rumour mill was buzzing with news about the Hero Group and Mahindra 2’Wheelers looking to buy out Korea-based S&T Motors Co Ltd., parent company of Hyosung, manufacturers of the Comet 250, GT650R and ST7 motorcycles. However, Garware Motors have sent us a press release wherein they have made it clear that there are no ongoing negotiations between S&T Motors and any Indian manufactuer, Hero and Mahindra included, on this matter. For those outside the loop, Garware Motors and Hyosung have an ongoing aggrement wherein the former is to exclusively assemble motorcycles under the Hyosung brand name and market them in India. The agreement still holds firm and Garware will continue selling the GT650R sportsbike and ST7 cruiser in India.

We hope they stick together and launch the 250-cc bike in India as well.
