Tiger bhai thanks for bring this practical test for helmets strength. Definitely this will help many to decide on which helmet to buy. Great efforts.. Keep going..
Couple of time ,I have watched this single experiment . I am using studds thunder currently and going to purchase new one. But confused which one have to select. Before watching this video , my planning was to buy axor. But now after watching your video I changed my plan and sure to buy Vega bolt 🙏🙏🙏👍
Guys this man is amazing trust me he spend more than ₹30000 on those helmets just to demonstrate how cheap quality helmets are available in the market and how we need to be considerate abouut choosing the right helmet. Visited his store and he only keeps the right products that he would use for himself Hats off tiger bhai
This is not how the helmet safety is measured. It is by measuring the impact inside the helmet. For example in this video if you see the crash on second helmet, you could see how the helmet bends while it’s getting struck. Even though the helmet is not damaged, it transferred all the force inside and that is why it was not damaged. If you see the Axor/MT one, they were not deformed a bit on striking with the hammer but it got damaged, which means that they absorbed all the impact and did not transfer it inside. They save the head by absorbing the impact while the second one saved itself by transferring all the momentum to the head. Obviously no helmets should be reused after a single crash if you are too serious about the safety. It is not how the helmets save themselves from crash, but how helmets save what is inside them from crashes. I appreciate the effort you put in making this video but unfortunately, this one id misleading. Helmet crash tests are not done this way.

A good helmet is supposed to break up on a heavy impact.. If it does not, then most of that energy is transferred to your skull during an accident.. This has higher chances of your skull cracking.. So they say a good helmet should break if it has a very high impact.. So according to this SMK helmets are one of the best.. Please do your research and your engineering before you come to a conclusion
@@emmanuelpraveen1Nahi bhai. Flexing is important. Not breaking. Difference hain. Of course any amount of flexing is not good. It has be designed and calculated properly. Many helmet manufacturers use flexing shells to better absorb impacts. However flexing also has downsides like extremely high impacts (almost unrealistic in any crash) cant be handled as well. Some helmet materials are designed to break in a particular manner if they are in a situation that force is too high. It is better if not break, but if it has to break then atleast break in such a way to disperse more impact. Eg fibreglass shells. Atleast this is what I understand after seeing helmet reviews.
Best explanation I found online What is impact? A 'force'. It displaces our head. So that is energy. And without a helmet, this energy is absorbed by our head. And it is distributed in many ways. On motion, it is converted to kinetic energy and lost through friction and broken bonds in our neck muscles. Remaining is just absorbed by the head alone. First, the skull takes a part of it. How? By breaking bonds in itself. This may crack your skull. Second, by transferring vibration to the cerebral fluid. Now the cerebral fluid, like any damper, in motorcycles, forms eddies and dissipates energy through damping. This creates a shock on our brain, and we lose balance.

Or seriously injured. Thus, if the helmet does break at substantial impacts, maybe okay. But, it should not break at lower impacts, because that can mean it absorbs only a less amount of energy. The rest is transferred, again, to the head.
Man!! Searched for a video like this 3 yrs ago.. Unfortunately seems I was misled into buying the SMK :( thanks a million for this video. Hats off for this contribution and God bless!! Some brands should definitely watch this and feel ashamed of their so called certifications!
This is an excellent video. Gives a good idea of the actual quality of these helmets. ❤❤❤ Ages back I had used the Vega Galactic helmet and that helmet saved me in a major crash. I fell and went sliding on the road finally hitting the road divider. The helmet took all the impact, it was badly scratched with a small crack also but the shell was intact by and large. I swear by Vega in the budget range. They may be a bit heavy but they definitely saves lives. I have ordered the Axor Apex recently. I hope I won't regret it.
Very useful video. It's great to see you putting in your hard earned money to show practical tests like these. It will definitely save some lives I believe 🙏🙂
Dedicated Person... Spending this much money for the demo... hats off brother. One needs to be really dedicated towards a cause to do this... He is not only a rider or a seller, he is a real guide!
vega bunny was squashed (watch the slow-motion ) so it didn't withstand he should have used a watermelon or something like that in the helmet to see the impact . I was surprised to see the SMK
@@bapiya1 I was also telling the same... Vega Bolt Bunny, Flexible Shell hone ke karan hi Bach gaya, lekin ye Flexibility Impect ko Head/Skull tak transfer kar degi, islie use SAFE NAHI kaha jaa sakta.
Firstly I'm thankful you conducted such a test that helps all greatly... You had to waste helmets worth about 25k total for this test... Salute for sacrificing your efforts and money for betterment of all.. Secondly I'm really shocked about studds shifter and smk... Thirdly has mt helmet come with isi lately?
very surprised to see Vega survived and as usual expected the same from MT. But seriously so disappointed to see the other options cracked so easily. Thanks for this informative video brother
For those who thinks the non-cracked helmets are the best... Guys at time of impact the helmet must need to take all the tensions and pressure, if it cracks that means the shell took all pressure by itself unlike the other it doesn't transfer the pressure through the shell and meets with our head
@@TigerKoul Actually that's not the real problem. These helmets are tested with test heads in them. The foam detaching is normal without your head supporting it. The real data would have been g forces or HIC values. All we can see from this test is the expected damage from a crash to your helmet which is pointless. All helmets should be replaced after any crash.
You have a point there but see the video vega and other helmets did absorb the impact resulting the helmet to release the impact and bouncing 4 feet across.
I just watched two videos of SMK n then came here. Absolutely stunned. So called global product from Studds, largest helmet manufacturer. Indian manufacturer with ECE. And got destroyed in one shot. Premium price not always mean premium quality n safety. Good job Tiger.
Have replied to your earlier comment as well Shell is not meant to break it's EPS bro Imagine shell breaking off and same broken helmet can damage the face or skull Hope you getting what I mean Thank you
Hats off to your efforts! 🔥🔥🔥 I literally crossed my fingers for MT before the hit! I own MT Blade SV 2 and after the video I think Blade can take the 4th hit as well😝
I just purchased Vega Bolt yesterday, only after seeing this video. And I am fully satisfied with my purchase and Thanks to you Man. Otherwise, I would have purchased any other from the cheaper options... Thanks Man.
Really amazing what you've done here, I've never seen a video with brand new helmets being tested and the results will definitely help me and a many more. Thank you Tiger, this deserves a like share and subscribe (which I'll do now)😊
I am absolutely surprised! Vega Bolt performed exceedingly well considering the price! Also the MT helmet is definitely very safe. Also dent in the shell means force absorption is better in these two helmets.
brother you don't know you have saved people already who were going to get hurt, acccident in future , This action of helping people without getting in return will definitely takes you up and your family will be proud of you and follow your things my comment is very rare i don't remember what was the last time i commented on yt thanks brother spread positive energy like this
I appreciate your efforts for a physical demonstration of impact on these helmets. The primary purpose of a helmet is to absorb the impact by itself & not by the head inside it. In that sense, a helmet breaking doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad helmet, it might just be good at absorbing impacts. Anyways, sophisticated testing would be needed to check how an impact affects the head inside it. Nevertheless, gread video dude!
You team really did a very good experiment... I was literally confused b/n smk and MT, you really cleared all my doubts.. Thank you so much Broi..🤗👍🏼 God bless.. 🥰
After watching this video, I think the Vega Bolt is the best choice considering the price point. I have just purchased the Vega Bolt helmet. Your video was a great help narrowing down my choice. Thank you very much, guys.
Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work for single impact. Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head. See the deformation in slow mo, helmet doesn't break but you head inside will definitely.
@@milaanpatel4997 Strongly disagree with your comment, Helmets are designed to protect the head from impact and absorb the force of a collision. They are engineered to withstand multiple impacts and not just single impact. The materials used in helmets, such as polystyrene, are specifically chosen for their ability to absorb and distribute impact energy. The "crumble zone" or "crush zone" of a helmet may deform, it should not break or compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. All certified helmets Including Vega (DOT certified) they are rigorously tested and must meet safety standards before they are available to consumers.
@@Sherlawk Of course not, But also it would depend on the hit it took and how much it deform. In general, It would be a good idea to replace it as soon as possible.
@Reveñant Yes, I agree with you, but not to the extent that they are rendered ineffective, especially since they are laboratory certified. A good helmet should be strong enough to absorb a big hit and protect us, allowing us to return home safely.
vega is good but the thing that concerned me was the way it squished in the slowmo as compared to MT that kept its shape so i will say going for mt is good choice 👍🏻
Helmets are not supposed to be indestructible their job is to break and distribute the impact. Helmets that don't break, transfers all the impact to your head. the Helmet will be intact, your head won't inside it. It is told that a helmet that broke during a crash has done it's job and should be replaced
Such a quality content this guy is bringing. Just imagine a rough sum of the prices of these helmets. Its just amazing how he is doing it for us. We can help him atleast by leaving a like and subscribe. Yeah there were minor mistakes in those shots but still heads off👍
I agree with this. A good helmet should absorb the impact, if it breaks, it means the helmet has absorbed the impact and most of the energy has gone into breaking the helmet which means less of the energy is transferred to the head / neck or body. A solid helmet would not break, but it might result in you having a broken neck
Thank you for all the hardwork and time you invested in making this video will be much helpful for moat of the bikers as the 5k segment are the most bought one's.
That’s amazing to see that MT and VEGA’s helmet have same body durability rather than other helmets. Also VEGA’s helmets are budget friendly and are the best for beginners😊. Thanks bhai for this video.
The idea of a helmet is not just not to crack. That I’d say is the BARE minimum thing it is supposed to do for it to even be considered a helmet. What truly matters is how much energy it absorbs and how well it disperses or dissipates it, hence why HJC and likes are considered some of the best because the shell shatters upon impact dissipating the impact energy. Also why, these helmet shouldn’t ever be made to fall on the ground even, which could reduce their impact taking ability.
*I'm using an Axor Street Camo for almost a year! Though everything alright till now, still I'm not that satisfied with it's quality, after two months, the bottom rubber liner came out for which I had to apply feviquik and it's intact since last 9/10 months, so clearly Axor used some worst Glue in that part!! Again, the pin of it's antifog visor just came out (lost), that 5 rupee pin will now cost me around 1000/- to get these two glasses changed!! I'm surprised with the results of Vega Bolt which costs 2/5th of Axor!! I wish I had purchased MT...but I'm sure my next helmet won't be one from Axor!!*
I think the Vega is the winner in this competition. Bolt Bunny took 3 powerful shots and still it's intact from outside. That's why I prefer Vega. My 1st helmet from 2010 was Vega I used it for almost 11 yrs. Then again I bought Vega Ryker for 1250/- which is also DOT certified. Most value for money hemlmets. Rest are just hyped but Vega is 🔥
Great test, really appreciated. I know it may not seem so but this was a really expensive test and cannot be performed again and again, so thank you for taking the effort, for our safety! ❤️👍🏻 But I guess the test had too many variables like force of impact, position of impact, material of helmets, their flexibility, and the helmets squishing and sliding to absorb the impact. It would have been nice if you had placed a melon or something inside the helmets to see the results of impact. Although I know it may not be possible to try this again but, try contacting a few helmet manufacturers to send you their products for further tests. Thanks again! 👍🏻😇
Currently using a Vega bolt bunny with the same colour you tested in this video but have to say that though it is quiet bouchy still it saved my head from a recent accident .....I was planning to buy a axor apex turbine helmet but now will consider MT as my next primary helmet ..thanks sir for the honest review of all of them♥️
Thanks bro. I thought of buying SMK Titan series helmet. But after seeing your video, I am utterly disappointed with SMK and have changed my mind. Have never bought MT helmets before but now it's definitely worth giving it a try :) Bgv and Arai are on my next list of helmets, but they are very expensive so got to have patience and wait for that one fine day. Cheers and Thanks :))
Helmet breaking absorbs a lot of the impact. Cheap Vega helmet saved me once when a coconut fell on my head, the impact cracked the helmet and I blacked out for 1-2 sec but luckily regained consciousness before I crashed. If that helmet didn't crack then the entire impact would have been transferred to my head and neck. You can see from the slow motion replays those first 2 Vegas are not absorbing much impact, they simply transfer the energy down.
ISI standards are derived from ECE but they are not tested by the authority ... Even though the standard is there, there is no implementation and validation of it.
Tiger bhai, amazing vlog. These kind of vlogs makes sense to people like me. Kudos 👍. Keep it up and we need more such videos on different products. Best wishes. 🙂👍
Im thinking of getting an MT helmet as an alternative helmet for my daily ride. This test convince me of buying it now. Thanks man appreciate this vids. RS!
People thinking that the helmets which didnt crack are stronger.....remember that safer cars also crumple when they crash so the force is absorbed by the car body. In this case, the helmet should absorb the force hence breaking it. If the helmet stays stiff or bounces back, all of the force goes to our head which may not cause skull fracture but it will surely slosh ur brain around and may cause a concussion or internal bleeding which is far more serious. That's why some cheaper cars have been seen crashing into expensive cars and not breaking, the unsafe car will stay intact and dissipate the force onto the passengers..
@TimelyTurtle so you're telling me accidental impacts only happen in the front of the car? So the rest of the car should be completely rigid, transferring all the force to the passengers? Also, I didn't mention Indian Maruti suzuki cars anywhere, as you see. The crumple zone argument was given as a comparison to things absorbing force and getting destroyed in the process.
Shifter was shocking. But do you think it was due to the impact position being on the top front part of the helmet (above the inner visor cavity) as compared to other helmet impact positions (top rear). And do you think the inner visor cavity bew the eps and the shell caused it to break so easily?
@@TigerKoul I have read it in a few places that helmets with inner sun visor are comparatively less safer than helmets without one because the inner sun visor creates gap bew the outer shell and the eps. ?
please file a case on SMK manufacturers as to how they obtained ISI or DoT etc certification..if its so useless...??? its such a cheap plastic. used in smk....yet it obtained isi n dot certification how n why.....????
Not cheap. Cheap are those which stays intact or just bent. Helmet suppose to shatter in pieces upon impact so it will absorb the force. If it stays intact then it is transferring the force inside your brain. Get the helmet that breaks first so your head don't have to.
@@beergrill4607 Glass is more fragile than your skull bone. So the excess force will reach into the head and broken glasses will pierces into it. This is why Good helmets are very costly bro. They have to use a material that has that exact precise balance of tolerance. Riders and Science go together bro. Read some.
The helmet should break. Also this test should have been done with impact indicating stickers inside the helmets. A durable helmet may just transfer the impact to the riders head and cause fetal injuries ( the way the second helmet was deforming on impact). On the other hand if a helmet breaks dissipating the impact and not transferring the force to the head it is much better.
Agreed whatever resources had used them And it's EPS which will dissipate the force and shell should remain intact again depends on the force and impact Correctly pointed out that second helmet was Vega Bolt which flexed a lot hence not safe
@Tiger Koul thanks for validating that. I'll take my example when I was younger though a durable helmet is better. 15 years and 2 crashes later I have come to know that a helmet / safety gear is a consumable and should not be categorised under durable goods. These items have a defined end of life which many youngsters don't realise. It will be great to discuss various safety standards some day.
I wear axor 16year xbhp edition on daily basis on my ktm rc - sometimes I find it a little heavy on neck so I decided to buy vega bolt bunny helmet but I wasn’t sure that it is worth buying or not. Thank to you man ❤️ Highly appreciated video 😀
Bro thank you for this video,meri wife ne bhi mujhe birthday pr vega bolt hi gift kiya tha ab malum chala wo meri kitni care krti hai nahi to 900 rs me bhi hmare defence canteen me helmet milta hai wo janbujh kr ye laae mai bola eska weight jada hai pr ye video dekh kr abhi abhi usko thank you bola hu , love' you brother
Quite an eye opener. I am pleasantly surprised by Vega. Thank you for taking the time and effort (not to mention the expense) to educate your viewers. A humble suggestion- please wear some eye protection the next time you conduct such a test.
1) The point at which the hammer hit on Vega and Studds was different. Studds was hit more towards the visor 2) Why did you not show the internal of Vega helmets after 1st blow? When you compare it must be same for all and not different way of showcasing for different brands
Cut him some slack bro. It's easier said than done. Ofcourse you can't consistently hit that heavy hammer on similar spot for all helmets, but it gives you a fair idea what different price points offer. Also, video could have been planned a bit better (showing impact after every hit) but he still did good, considering he wasted about 20k worth of helmets for this video just to show.
@@VicariousxD I am not debating about effort and money spent. I am saying you cannot compare 2 helmets when one is hit in centre and other near the visor. The impact will be totally different. Also, showing internal damage of only helmets except Vega sparks something wrong. Why not show same internal view for all helmets just to give confidence to viewer of the video.
Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work once. Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head (see the deformation)
Aaj hi maine helmet shop wale se pucha smk, axor mai konsa acha hai. Woh bola smk 5k se start hota hai and it's good. And watching your video after 2 hours. U literally opened my eyes.😮
That hammer is exerting a force much greater than the helmets designed impact limit per square cm area. Actual practice requires the helmet to be dropped with a ballast weight, not the other way round. Relative motion yes, but area of impact matters during testing. In reality, the impact area is much wider compared to the hammer impact zone. Anybody can use the sharp side of an object and inflict penetration into the shell, but not every road has sharp edges. I can say the helmets can survive, but I do not know about the skull of the rider wearing it. Ultimately If the EPS liner can't handle it, you dead bruh.
I used to work in studds, i knew shifter gonna fail, the onyl two helmets of studds are, studds professonal( for bangladesh export model it goes with dot protection stamp), whereas in india it comes with ISI marking, and the second helmet is studds scorpion. studds thunder shouldnt be bought either. in studds they care for production over quality
1. Thanks to you for doing this video. 2. You actually used new ones, which would hav costed bad on ur pocket, really thanks for same. 3. Only one suggestion: you could have made a video asking ur subscribers to provide a used same helmet, if they had and would have gifted them these new ones, testing could have been performed on used ones.
It was wonderful way to test, I have a suggestion (if feasible) if you can start including link of those items used in videos it would be really helpful. Thanks for making this video, it will help many people.
The impact should be tested on the head that is covered by these helmets, and not on the helmet per se. You should have put a dummy or a tarbuza, inside each of these helmets and then seen to what extent the impact is transmitted!
Just because it doesnt break doesnt mean that it is good.. impact absorption, flexure is important to be observed to prevent the head from being squished
Guys after an accident with Impacts like this, it would be best to replace the helmet as the structure of the helmet would have weakened during the impact with micro cracks that may not be visible to the naked eye. So in case of second impact the results would be drastic. Take care, Ride safe. EDIT. Just realized that Tiger Koul had mentioned this towards the end . Good stuff!
Bhai aapne bahot mehnat kari h..testing me manna pdega kyo almost sari helmet expensive hi the. But u have done a really amazing work it would be very helpful to everyone 😊 i'm very thankful 🙏
Awesome video bro. Those 7 helmets combined would be around 25k. This goes on to show that even if it's a loss of business for you, you still went ahead to show which are safer and which ones are not. Truly admire your passion towards safety. Honest, practical, impartial results shown by you. Respect to your dedication. Keep it up. All the best.
Useful video it will help people to select best helmet and sa ethe life ,these guys are really helping people wasting their hard money and testing with real practicle experience im sure it will help a lot to all people who is planning to buy life saving helmet GOD BLESS YOU ALL and keep it up .
Nice tests.. But if you observe, smk, mt, axor, studds did not jump or move so much after impact. They were absorbing far more energy, hence getting damaged. Helmets are supposed to survive one large impact and save the head from serious injury. While vega survived better, they jumped a lot..meaning they were transferring all of that energy instead of absorbing it.. Just my analysis.
Really appreciate dude.... I was thinking about Axor but now want to buy Bolt. Bcz aapne Bold me 3 baar hammer apply kia but wo utna broken nai hua.... So my thoughts go for Vega Bolt guys.... And One more information Vega is Axor ka helmet manufacturing karta h.

@@TigerKoul high impact i said.. not break easily.. Roadside helmets either break very easily or hardly break at all.. both are bad...
Best explanation I found online
What is impact? A 'force'. It displaces our head. So that is energy. And without a helmet, this energy is absorbed by our head. And it is distributed in many ways. On motion, it is converted to kinetic energy and lost through friction and broken bonds in our neck muscles. Remaining is just absorbed by the head alone.
First, the skull takes a part of it. How? By breaking bonds in itself. This may crack your skull. Second, by transferring vibration to the cerebral fluid. Now the cerebral fluid, like any damper, in motorcycles, forms eddies and dissipates energy through damping. This creates a shock on our brain, and we lose balance.
Now, for all this to happen, we need a helmet that can absorb this energy or at least significant parts of it. So, let's assume that it does absorb energy. How?
Well, since energy is always conserved, it should be dissipated in some way. First, the hard shell. The shell absorbs energy and transfers it to the intermolecular bonds. After this transfer, many of the bonds break and dissipates the energy. Rest of the energy is transferred inside. There is a foam layer, which acts as a sponge/spring with damper. This absorbs energy and starts vibrating, while damping it. This damping effect dissipates the energy. That's why you hear a ringing sound when you knock on a helmet. It absorbs the energy and transfers it throughout. It does this so that the helmet doesn't form a weak spot.
Now suppose your helmet doesn't break at all. Who takes all the energy? You. Then you die. Or seriously injured.
Thus, if the helmet does break at substantial impacts, maybe okay. But, it should not break at lower impacts, because that can mean it absorbs only a less amount of energy. The rest is transferred, again, to the head.

Ages back I had used the Vega Galactic helmet and that helmet saved me in a major crash. I fell and went sliding on the road finally hitting the road divider. The helmet took all the impact, it was badly scratched with a small crack also but the shell was intact by and large.
I swear by Vega in the budget range. They may be a bit heavy but they definitely saves lives.
I have ordered the Axor Apex recently. I hope I won't regret it.
I own a bolt and it saved me from two severe accidents with out a scratch on it. It's vega's best offering till date.
bro does mt hummer helmet comes with anti fog visor fitted ?????. or i ave to buy it aftermarket
which one?? standard bolt or bolt bunny??
There's another helmet from Vega...CARA.
DOT & ISI certified.
Thats the heaviest and the most secure helmet from Vega.
Than comes the Bolt.

Dedicated Person... Spending this much money for the demo... hats off brother. One needs to be really dedicated towards a cause to do this... He is not only a rider or a seller, he is a real guide!
Means a lot Bhai
Really happy to see atleast someone understands it
Vega bunny handled 3 shots amazing similar to MT.
Impressed given the amt of investment compare to MT. Great work Tiger😊
Thank you 😊
Please keep supporting ❤️
vega bunny was squashed (watch the slow-motion ) so it didn't withstand he should have used a watermelon or something like that in the helmet to see the impact . I was surprised to see the SMK
Watermelon within a controlled environment would have make sense
Hence I didn't took to that level
@@bapiya1 I was also telling the same... Vega Bolt Bunny, Flexible Shell hone ke karan hi Bach gaya, lekin ye Flexibility Impect ko Head/Skull tak transfer kar degi, islie use SAFE NAHI kaha jaa sakta.
I agree
impressed by axor and mt . All the other helmet was squashed during impact in slo mo .BTW keep up the good work
Axor rage is that ... So what about axor apex
Same hoga performance shell is same
@@TigerKoul thanks bro for rapid response ❤️
Always
Firstly I'm thankful you conducted such a test that helps all greatly... You had to waste helmets worth about 25k total for this test... Salute for sacrificing your efforts and money for betterment of all..
Secondly I'm really shocked about studds shifter and smk...
Thirdly has mt helmet come with isi lately?
Thank you ❤️
Yes MT are coming with ISI marking

very surprised to see Vega survived and as usual expected the same from MT. But seriously so disappointed to see the other options cracked so easily. Thanks for this informative video brother
Shukriya
Pyaar aur support kartay rahoo bhai ko
Cracking and breaking is not everything, what matters is how the impact is handled and prevented from reaching your skull.
@@Dude_Virus indeed, the vega was terrible
yes that Vega helmet is super strong surprised me also
but slow motion mein ya frame by frame mein yeh bhi to dekh kitna zyada bend aur deform hua tha, helmet to bach jayega lekin sir nahin bachega
For those who thinks the non-cracked helmets are the best... Guys at time of impact the helmet must need to take all the tensions and pressure, if it cracks that means the shell took all pressure by itself unlike the other it doesn't transfer the pressure through the shell and meets with our head
Correction:- EPS is meant to dissipate not the shell
Thank you
@@TigerKoul Actually that's not the real problem. These helmets are tested with test heads in them. The foam detaching is normal without your head supporting it. The real data would have been g forces or HIC values. All we can see from this test is the expected damage from a crash to your helmet which is pointless. All helmets should be replaced after any crash.
YOU are absolutely bang on to the point from an engineering point of view.
@@narendranbhaskar Thank you for speaking that out. 👍
You have a point there but see the video vega and other helmets did absorb the impact resulting the helmet to release the impact and bouncing 4 feet across.
I just watched two videos of SMK n then came here. Absolutely stunned. So called global product from Studds, largest helmet manufacturer. Indian manufacturer with ECE. And got destroyed in one shot. Premium price not always mean premium quality n safety. Good job Tiger.
Modi jaisa feku niklaa SMK toh.

@@gkwinner5997 maybe you need to educate yourself to know the difference! Helmet breaking on impact is much safer.
Have replied to your earlier comment as well
Shell is not meant to break it's EPS bro

Hope you getting what I mean

I am absolutely surprised! Vega Bolt performed exceedingly well considering the price! Also the MT helmet is definitely very safe. Also dent in the shell means force absorption is better in these two helmets.

I appreciate your efforts for a physical demonstration of impact on these helmets.
The primary purpose of a helmet is to absorb the impact by itself & not by the head inside it. In that sense, a helmet breaking doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad helmet, it might just be good at absorbing impacts.
Anyways, sophisticated testing would be needed to check how an impact affects the head inside it.
Nevertheless, gread video dude!
how's smk as per you.. bought a hybrid evo for my hero Maestro edge scooter
exactly my point. judging only by looking at if it breaks is not correct .
Proud to be a vega bolt owner

After watching this video, I think the Vega Bolt is the best choice considering the price point. I have just purchased the Vega Bolt helmet. Your video was a great help narrowing down my choice. Thank you very much, guys.
Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work for single impact.
Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head. See the deformation in slow mo, helmet doesn't break but you head inside will definitely.
@@milaanpatel4997 Strongly disagree with your comment, Helmets are designed to protect the head from impact and absorb the force of a collision. They are engineered to withstand multiple impacts and not just single impact. The materials used in helmets, such as polystyrene, are specifically chosen for their ability to absorb and distribute impact energy. The "crumble zone" or "crush zone" of a helmet may deform, it should not break or compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. All certified helmets Including Vega (DOT certified) they are rigorously tested and must meet safety standards before they are available to consumers.
@@ferdous_khalifa so you will give your helmet a second try.
@@Sherlawk Of course not, But also it would depend on the hit it took and how much it deform. In general, It would be a good idea to replace it as soon as possible.
@Reveñant Yes, I agree with you, but not to the extent that they are rendered ineffective, especially since they are laboratory certified. A good helmet should be strong enough to absorb a big hit and protect us, allowing us to return home safely.
It was totally unexpected from studds shifter😢
MT is alwys good one
Thank you for the reality test brother ❤
Keep loving and supporting ❤️
vega is good but the thing that concerned me was the way it squished in the slowmo as compared to MT that kept its shape so i will say going for mt is good choice 👍🏻
Correct the flex should not happen at all
That’s not good
Winner is vega bolt bunny recently purchased without any hesitation after watching this video. Thank you so much for this experimental video
Helmets are not supposed to be indestructible their job is to break and distribute the impact. Helmets that don't break, transfers all the impact to your head. the Helmet will be intact, your head won't inside it. It is told that a helmet that broke during a crash has done it's job and should be replaced
Then you should buy Rs 200 helmet as it will easily break and distribute the forces evenly.
@@rjay3727 cheap helmets don't break easily..... that's the problem

Really means a lot ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with this. A good helmet should absorb the impact, if it breaks, it means the helmet has absorbed the impact and most of the energy has gone into breaking the helmet which means less of the energy is transferred to the head / neck or body. A solid helmet would not break, but it might result in you having a broken neck

@@INDiansaNNu4978 I won’t recommend bhai rather check Axxis segment
@@TigerKoul okay brother. Thanks for sharing such important info.
The idea of a helmet is not just not to crack. That I’d say is the BARE minimum thing it is supposed to do for it to even be considered a helmet.
What truly matters is how much energy it absorbs and how well it disperses or dissipates it, hence why HJC and likes are considered some of the best because the shell shatters upon impact dissipating the impact energy. Also why, these helmet shouldn’t ever be made to fall on the ground even, which could reduce their impact taking ability.
Agreed
*I'm using an Axor Street Camo for almost a year! Though everything alright till now, still I'm not that satisfied with it's quality, after two months, the bottom rubber liner came out for which I had to apply feviquik and it's intact since last 9/10 months, so clearly Axor used some worst Glue in that part!! Again, the pin of it's antifog visor just came out (lost), that 5 rupee pin will now cost me around 1000/- to get these two glasses changed!! I'm surprised with the results of Vega Bolt which costs 2/5th of Axor!! I wish I had purchased MT...but I'm sure my next helmet won't be one from Axor!!*
Highly appreciate for your efforts to create practical scenarios and spread awareness of importance of helmets.
Thank you 😊
Please keep supporting ♥️
I think the Vega is the winner in this competition. Bolt Bunny took 3 powerful shots and still it's intact from outside. That's why I prefer Vega. My 1st helmet from 2010 was Vega I used it for almost 11 yrs. Then again I bought Vega Ryker for 1250/- which is also DOT certified. Most value for money hemlmets. Rest are just hyped but Vega is 🔥
Great test, really appreciated.
I know it may not seem so but this was a really expensive test and cannot be performed again and again, so thank you for taking the effort, for our safety! ❤️👍🏻
But I guess the test had too many variables like force of impact, position of impact, material of helmets, their flexibility, and the helmets squishing and sliding to absorb the impact. It would have been nice if you had placed a melon or something inside the helmets to see the results of impact.
Although I know it may not be possible to try this again but, try contacting a few helmet manufacturers to send you their products for further tests.
Thanks again! 👍🏻😇
Correctly covered all the possible things ☺️
I was going to upgrade to SMK from studds shifter now i am sure i should go for MT thanks a lot Tiger
yes MT is no doubt best to own ❤️
Currently using a Vega bolt bunny with the same colour you tested in this video but have to say that though it is quiet bouchy still it saved my head from a recent accident .....I was planning to buy a axor apex turbine helmet but now will consider MT as my next primary helmet ..thanks sir for the honest review of all of them♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Shoei is best helmet
Finally someone dare to spend so money and test these helmet well done Keep up the phenomenal work, and know that you have a fan and supporter in me!

Thanks bro. I thought of buying SMK Titan series helmet. But after seeing your video, I am utterly disappointed with SMK and have changed my mind. Have never bought MT helmets before but now it's definitely worth giving it a try :)
Bgv and Arai are on my next list of helmets, but they are very expensive so got to have patience and wait for that one fine day. Cheers and Thanks :))
I order to save your head the helmet should break. If it's not breaking it means it's transferring the impact to your head.
Currently I am using STUDDS THUNDER SINCE LAST TWO YEARS AND SMK GLIDE FROM TWO WEEKS NOW I AM DISAPPOINTED
Helmet breaking absorbs a lot of the impact. Cheap Vega helmet saved me once when a coconut fell on my head, the impact cracked the helmet and I blacked out for 1-2 sec but luckily regained consciousness before I crashed. If that helmet didn't crack then the entire impact would have been transferred to my head and neck. You can see from the slow motion replays those first 2 Vegas are not absorbing much impact, they simply transfer the energy down.
Always go For ECE, DOT Certified Helmets.ISI mark is not enough my Personal choice is Bell, SHOEI and MT
Shark , HJC , atlas ?
Im not sure but ISI is derived from ECE
No no ISI is not at all related ECE testing norms
ISI standards are derived from ECE but they are not tested by the authority ... Even though the standard is there, there is no implementation and validation of it.
Correct and one more thing ISI is meant for industrial quality check only

@@TigerKoul alway bro 👍
Im thinking of getting an MT helmet as an alternative helmet for my daily ride. This test convince me of buying it now. Thanks man appreciate this vids. RS!

People thinking that the helmets which didnt crack are stronger.....remember that safer cars also crumple when they crash so the force is absorbed by the car body. In this case, the helmet should absorb the force hence breaking it. If the helmet stays stiff or bounces back, all of the force goes to our head which may not cause skull fracture but it will surely slosh ur brain around and may cause a concussion or internal bleeding which is far more serious.
That's why some cheaper cars have been seen crashing into expensive cars and not breaking, the unsafe car will stay intact and dissipate the force onto the passengers..
@TimelyTurtle so you're telling me accidental impacts only happen in the front of the car?
So the rest of the car should be completely rigid, transferring all the force to the passengers?
Also, I didn't mention Indian Maruti suzuki cars anywhere, as you see. The crumple zone argument was given as a comparison to things absorbing force and getting destroyed in the process.
finally some real brainny
I was about to buy smk helmet 😂 you just saved my life sirrr. You deserve my subscription 🙌🏼
Wish you included Steelbird SBA/SBH series in the mix. Great comparison btw. Props to you!
Thank you ❤️
Please keep supporting ❤️
Steelbird makes shitty helmet... As compared to studds/vega..only have good looks only that too copied
You just proved here - don't compare quality with cost👍🏻
Shifter was shocking. But do you think it was due to the impact position being on the top front part of the helmet (above the inner visor cavity) as compared to other helmet impact positions (top rear). And do you think the inner visor cavity bew the eps and the shell caused it to break so easily?
No I dont think so
@@TigerKoul I have read it in a few places that helmets with inner sun visor are comparatively less safer than helmets without one because the inner sun visor creates gap bew the outer shell and the eps. ?
Yes
No
Yes its was hit in the front not in middle .but i think helmet should be tested from both side both from above as well as aside.
please file a case on SMK manufacturers as to how they obtained ISI or DoT etc certification..if its so useless...??? its such a cheap plastic. used in smk....yet it obtained isi n dot certification how n why.....????
Money can buy any certificate 😂
@@Maddyonfirebut not immortal.
Not cheap. Cheap are those which stays intact or just bent. Helmet suppose to shatter in pieces upon impact so it will absorb the force. If it stays intact then it is transferring the force inside your brain. Get the helmet that breaks first so your head don't have to.
@@SumanNath25so you better buy a helmet made of glass..
@@beergrill4607 Glass is more fragile than your skull bone. So the excess force will reach into the head and broken glasses will pierces into it. This is why Good helmets are very costly bro. They have to use a material that has that exact precise balance of tolerance. Riders and Science go together bro. Read some.
The helmet should break. Also this test should have been done with impact indicating stickers inside the helmets. A durable helmet may just transfer the impact to the riders head and cause fetal injuries ( the way the second helmet was deforming on impact). On the other hand if a helmet breaks dissipating the impact and not transferring the force to the head it is much better.
Agreed whatever resources had used them
And it's EPS which will dissipate the force and shell should remain intact again depends on the force and impact
Correctly pointed out that second helmet was Vega Bolt which flexed a lot hence not safe
That is true..
@Tiger Koul thanks for validating that. I'll take my example when I was younger though a durable helmet is better. 15 years and 2 crashes later I have come to know that a helmet / safety gear is a consumable and should not be categorised under durable goods. These items have a defined end of life which many youngsters don't realise. It will be great to discuss various safety standards some day.
Correct 💯
Yes yes looking forward to see you 😊

Yes yes 😊
Vega got bent but did not crack. Because it bent that much your head would also take hit badly. So it is not safe at all. Only MT looked solid.
@@seau0 True…
To the point ☝️
1) The point at which the hammer hit on Vega and Studds was different. Studds was hit more towards the visor
2) Why did you not show the internal of Vega helmets after 1st blow? When you compare it must be same for all and not different way of showcasing for different brands
U r rit bro
I was looking for this comment
Cut him some slack bro. It's easier said than done. Ofcourse you can't consistently hit that heavy hammer on similar spot for all helmets, but it gives you a fair idea what different price points offer. Also, video could have been planned a bit better (showing impact after every hit) but he still did good, considering he wasted about 20k worth of helmets for this video just to show.
Thank you for appreciating the efforts and total 28k was spent 😅
@@VicariousxD I am not debating about effort and money spent. I am saying you cannot compare 2 helmets when one is hit in centre and other near the visor. The impact will be totally different. Also, showing internal damage of only helmets except Vega sparks something wrong. Why not show same internal view for all helmets just to give confidence to viewer of the video.
Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work once.
Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head (see the deformation)
Aaj hi maine helmet shop wale se pucha smk, axor mai konsa acha hai. Woh bola smk 5k se start hota hai and it's good. And watching your video after 2 hours. U literally opened my eyes.😮
That hammer is exerting a force much greater than the helmets designed impact limit per square cm area. Actual practice requires the helmet to be dropped with a ballast weight, not the other way round. Relative motion yes, but area of impact matters during testing. In reality, the impact area is much wider compared to the hammer impact zone. Anybody can use the sharp side of an object and inflict penetration into the shell, but not every road has sharp edges. I can say the helmets can survive, but I do not know about the skull of the rider wearing it.
Ultimately If the EPS liner can't handle it, you dead bruh.
What is the EPS liner bro?
In simple words crushable foam, widely used in helmet liners
P0
This. It's important people understand the limitations of this method of testing.
I used to work in studds, i knew shifter gonna fail, the onyl two helmets of studds are, studds professonal( for bangladesh export model it goes with dot protection stamp), whereas in india it comes with ISI marking, and the second helmet is studds scorpion. studds thunder shouldnt be bought either. in studds they care for production over quality

This is not expected from studds shifter at all...
I also use studds shifter as my primary helmet..
But I'm shocked by studds shifter by this
Same here
I'm impressed with vega 👏👏👏👏👏 Best value for money 💰 Now I'll definitely buy Vega's helmet.
The impact should be tested on the head that is covered by these helmets, and not on the helmet per se. You should have put a dummy or a tarbuza, inside each of these helmets and then seen to what extent the impact is transmitted!
Just because it doesnt break doesnt mean that it is good.. impact absorption, flexure is important to be observed to prevent the head from being squished
Guys after an accident with Impacts like this, it would be best to replace the helmet as the structure of the helmet would have weakened during the impact with micro cracks that may not be visible to the naked eye. So in case of second impact the results would be drastic. Take care, Ride safe. EDIT. Just realized that Tiger Koul had mentioned this towards the end . Good stuff!

Nice tests.. But if you observe, smk, mt, axor, studds did not jump or move so much after impact. They were absorbing far more energy, hence getting damaged. Helmets are supposed to survive one large impact and save the head from serious injury.
While vega survived better, they jumped a lot..meaning they were transferring all of that energy instead of absorbing it..
Just my analysis.
Really appreciate dude....
I was thinking about Axor but now want to buy Bolt.
Bcz aapne Bold me 3 baar hammer apply kia but wo utna broken nai hua....
