The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Here's the free helmet that came with my PCX (Thailand).

Interesting. Is it actually Honda-branded, or is it rebadged from another manufacturer?

I'm not quite sure what the difference between "branded" and "rebadged" is. The helmet is not made by Honda. I don't even think that is was designed by Honda. I guess it's rebadged.

It's an INDEX Titan 4 helmet, manufactured by S.Y.K. Autopart Import-Export Co., Ltd. in Thailand. The Honda and PCX brand logos are genuine, though, embedded under the glossy lacquer paint finish of the helmet. So it's not just another rip-off or pirated product. In Thailand, when buying a Honda two-wheeler, resellers happily give out free merchandise, provided by Honda. The giveaways usually include, apart from a helmet, a long sleeved jacket with the resellers logo on the back.









Honda's giveaway helmets are all from INDEX. Here's another jar I got when buying my Wave five or six years ago.

Cool, I wish that was standard here. We have to buy our helmets and jackets separately, and if they're thrown in with the bike, we usually have to pay at-cost of the dealer instead of free.

When I bought my PCX the dealer threw in a jacket, a small helmet for the wife and a matt black helmet to match the bike. Nippon brand, I have not seen in Thailand before.
