At xBhp, we always emphasise the importance of safe riding and riding gear is one of the most important factors in safer riding practices. Our nation has witnessed a significant growth in motorcycling culture, and as a result, our market has also attracted the attention of major global motorcycling brands.
From some of the most aspirational motorcycles to the best riding gear and accessories, India has become a hub for not only local manufacturers but also established international brands. One such brand is the Japanese riding gear giant, RS Taichi, and thanks to 6KIOM, they are now here in India, launching a new riding jacket made specifically for India.
We caught up with Mr Hiro Yoshimura, the President of the Taichi Group, to discuss why India is a powerhouse market for premium riding gear. From the young demographic to the passionate biking cities like Bangalore and biking dealer partners like 6KIOM, Taichi is committed to bringing gear that’s built for the Asian climate for comfort and safety without compromise.
The launch of the RS Taichi Phantom Jacket in India also highlights the growing role of 6KIOM, the official importer of RS Taichi, in shaping a more informed and connected riding community. It is the first jacket riding jacket from the brand, designed keeping Indian riders in mind.
Beyond bringing premium global riding gear to India, 6KIOM has been steadily building a rider-first ecosystem, one that combines access to world-class safety equipment with education, experiences, and community engagement.
From regular rider meet-ups and curated breakfast rides to hands-on sessions like Sip a Coffee and Moto Mornings, the focus remains on helping riders make better, safer decisions on and off the road.
6KIOM’s initiatives extend to curated rides, touring experiences, and structured riding and racing programs, creating opportunities for riders to improve skills while strengthening the sense of brotherhood that defines motorcycling culture. Motorsport screenings, rider interactions, and community events further reinforce this shared passion.
As the official importer of RS Taichi in India, 6KIOM’s approach goes beyond distribution; it reflects a commitment to supporting and giving back to the riding community by investing in knowledge, safety, and meaningful riding experiences. In many ways, the Phantom Jacket’s arrival mirrors that philosophy: premium protection backed by purpose.
