Yamaha launches helmet range for women and children

Days after Delhi government made helmets mandatory for women pillion riders, Yamaha Motor India, has launched its new range of helmets for women and children. The new helmet products are available at all Yamaha dealerships across the country with a price range between Rs 990 and Rs 1380.

Speaking on the occasion, Roy Kurian, Vice-President – Sales and Marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd, said, “The Delhi Government’s mandate for women to wear helmets even as pillion riders; is indeed a welcome move. On day one of this move, we could see many women riders being fined and most of the women riders came up with excuses such as non-availability of helmets exclusively for women. Gauging the requirements, we are happy to introduce our new range of helmets meant exclusively for women.”

“As a socially responsible company, Yamaha has always given importance to road safety and has been conducting various programmes on traffic safety across the country for almost five years now. On this occasion, we’d also like to urge the government to make a start and make helmets mandatory for children as well,” he further added.

Yamaha currently conducts Yamaha Safe Riding Science (YSRS) for college students, Yamaha Female Riding Training (YFRT) for women, Yamaha Children Safety Program (YCSP) for school kids and Yamaha Drivers Safety Program (YDST) for truck drivers.
