  • PSA: Avoid Tiivra if you value your head. Details as mentioned in the post. Please do read

    I have time and again confronted tiivra over their advertising being extremely misleading but not even once has their representative responded to me or my queries. It's a brand that plays at a Rider's emotion towards safety and uses words that sound good, but say only half the story. This is deliberate, to fool a rider into believing them. Look at the first image doing this exact thing. They have no safety certification beyond ISI and they claim they are safer than polycarbonate shells that actually gets ece 22.06 certificates image 2: this is the big joke. They fail to clarify that this standard is ece22.06 impact standard which all hemlets including arai has to go through amd the FIM standards are marginally better. Even more so, this is purely for the impact material, the EPS liner, and not the shell. As the force of impact increases, the shell disintegrates dissipating energy, much like the crumple zone of the car. The best part, the helmet shown in this image, of a major impact crushing it inwards, is on reddit. remember it is from 2 or 3 years back. l'll post the link in the comments once I find it. The rider survived with no brain injury. There was spine injury making him paraplegic but that is beyond the helmets protection range as it was a neck injury. At least tiivra should have done some basic research before posting this helmet. Image 3 : the jokes keep getting better and better. Tiivra has made themselves stand in the same league as arai and shoei. World class helmet manufacturers with decades of pedigree vs a startup relying on lies and deception Image 4: no one at Tiivra told them that a few composite fibreglass helmets that were 22.05 compliant have failed the 22.06 and hence got discontinued. Just because you are playing with fibreglass composite doesn't mean it's world class safety. Fibreglass composite is also used extensively in body work design. I got an entire composite fibre tail tidy for my rc390 made by autologue design for rs 800. I am also gonna post a query on legaladviceindia for a consumer complaint against false advertising. Let's see what comes of it. Till then, everyone who is even considering Tiivra, please don't.
