      • guys, need a lil advice here.

        Checked out the DSG Revive Gloves and liked the fit and feel better than cramsters MX-3. Any reviews on the DSG Revive gloves? I dont want them coming apart in a few months or so like said in the earlier posts.

        DSG Revive Gloves - Rs1,999.00



        I also saw the riding jacket from DSG but this was way too heavy compared to Cramster (Raptor / Breezer 2.0)

        DSG Nero Jacket - Rs5,250.00


        Any personal reviews on using the above?

        I loved the DSG gloves but skeptical considering that they come apart with very light usage.

          These are good brands or just another brand that makes jackets?

            Revive is a relatively new model in market for just 4 months. Please forward details of the unit which came apart at (feedback @ planetdsg.com )as we have not come across any unit which was damaged so soon under normal/light usage.

            Nero will be heavier compared to the mesh product you mentioned.

              +1 I got one myself. Not to mention it fits brilliantly.

                • I've been using a Cramster Raptor Riding Jacket and TRG 2 gloves.

                  The Raptor is total value for money and I just love the leather gloves. Wish I had the money to buy a Leather riding jacket too... but that will have to wait.

                  Regarding the knee Guards, I didn't find the cramster knee guard that good. Although its compartively Cheap, I am sure the aluminium part would screw up my babe.

                  I am waiting for non-Bionic Alpinestar knee guards to be in stock here at Orion Motors, coz I can wear it inside trousers so it can be used for daily use. (Don't wanna look a like Bike Riding Robot on the streets)

                  Alpinestars Defender Knee Protectors - Rs2,990.00

                  Anybody got any feedback about non Bionic Knee guards; pros/cons against the Bionic ones???

                      No jackets, means you'll have to spend fewer. Both DSG and Cramster provides gloves with hard knuckle at reasonable price say 700-800, look up their website. They are also easily available in most motorcycle gears shops. Don't know about shops location in Delhi.

                      Non-bionic Knee/elbow guards can be had for couple of hundreds to few thousands depending on brand. Bionic ones demands higher price. Cramster offers knee/elbow guards and much cheaper than imported ones.

                      I'm not being specific, though just want to let you know that stuff are available at very reasonable price.

                          Some approximate prices on Chopra I can give you brother
                          Hard Knuckle Gloves (Pro Gear) - 1100. I am having these, rather many people here are having these and they might not match the DSG and cramster ones but they are pretty value for money.

                          I think Knee & Elbow Guards is around a 1000 bucks (Both). I am not very sure about this.

                              If it's a genuine Fox product, then the price is good. Since you find it comfortable, you should buy it. Very useful on the daily commute.
