All,
am planning to buy riding Boots. came across AXO -Primato in my Budget. if anyone who has used AXO can you guide me on this. or if there is any other brand do let me know Budget 10k.

You can get Cramster boots within half of your budget!
Very comfy, strong&can even walk around with them when off the bike.
I have the short version (without shin protector)&Amit (biker boy) has the long ones-he got it on my recommendation&has used it on the Leh trip with his R15 too. Do check out!
Axo will have a better look no doubt, but I feel you could save the 5K for something else!

Well actuly i cannot find any online link for probiker glowes they are very much popular in delhi and ncr.
i think they are imported from china, but the quality is realy good, and they are hard knuckld also.
if you cannot find them go with cramster available at about 1000-1200 range.

ya Sarvajit, heard about Cramster and the review from you ppl who have used them makes me to give a second thought...

Increase the budget by about 2k and buy the Alpinestar web gore-tex. You cannot go wrong with them .I picked up mine from Planet DSG and they are fabulous

@ malliah: Sure will check out...

hey guys one more query
i have got myself probiker gloves (size-L)
but initially i am feeling like its too tight on the tip of all my fingers.
what my question is does this happen with new ones and gradually with time it will get elongated and i will be able to adjust or do i have to go and get the XL pair.
please reply as soon as possible.thanks

[DKGbond3]

hey congrats for your new gloves

initially, i too was finding the gloves a l'il tight.. and more to that, i felt one of the fingers short which i found a l'il painful after riding for a while.
but gradually i'm used to it and don't feel much now.

maybe you too will be accustomed to it quickly

btw, how much did u pay for the pair? and anything else purchased?

yea thats how i am feeling. a bit tight.but i guess as the days pass i,ll get accustomed and even the fabrics will loosen up a bit over the tip..
i got the gloves for 650-probiker
i got fox elbow and knee pads
and a vega lid

i told you the probiker glove can be purchased for 500

and even i want to buy a vega lid.. probably the boolean, its 1700 i guess, the one with the graphics

what about the fox elbow and knee?
