guys, i have a doubt for first gloves which one should i go for???

Cramster MX 3
or DSG Moto Mesh

my requirements are for city riding majorly occasional rides of 200km on weekend....

my right palm start paining after sometime so i also need some amount of support or cushion in that part and online i am not able to distinguish which one is better...

kindly also tell me the address of the shops in pune from where i can get them bought???

I recently bought the cramster MX3.
Its pretty good.
Its got good protection and also ventilation.
Carbon fiber protectors
and it has a leather like palm.
It looks quite cool in my opinion.
I suggest you go ahead with cramster.

You can get there in kothrud.
Shop:

Ordered a Orazo Coot today. Didn't check much reviews. I don't know how it will be. But will post a review soon after first ride. Does anybody here use a Orazo coot?

Both the gloves look good, but you can also have a look at these Probiker gloves: xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community - Jonak's Album: Me and my ZMA - Picture
They cost about 800, & are total VFM. It offers better protection on the fingers than both the gloves you've mentioned.
I'm not sure reg availability in Pune though.

Guys , Which is a better option for touring Dsg Primal ,Vector or Carbon ..??

[RanjithMN]

Are you referring to combat type boots? If they're lace-ups you need to be careful with how you tie them on, making sure that the loose ends of the laces are properly tucked away so that they do not catch onto the pegs or other parts of the bike.

I actually tipped over a friends bike years ago when I got off his Yezdi without realizing my laces had snagged on the foot-peg. All was well till I tried to get off the bike - both me and bike in the dust! Been very cautious ever since. The same also applies to cargo pants with tie-up ankles.

yes good for touring and if you need some grip on road while offroading or riding on pavement. the only thing is you can move your ankle to certain extent. won't be comfortable for walking long distance.

Thanks for the input guys!

Frankly, I think its a very good multi-purpose boot. Also think that it's very good looking.

As a proper riding boot though, it lacks in several areas.

No specific heel and ankle impact protection /will not resist excessive articulation/rotation of the ankle /no abrasion resistant layers for gear shifting / no specific toe protection.

That said, I'm sure it will beat the hell out of any tennis shoes that you might currently be wearing, so if you can't get a proper pair of dedicated armored riding boots, and you are primarily a recreational/touring biker, go for it!

Personally, I do own riding boots but I really liked the look of these boots (for casual wear), so can you tell me where to pick up a pair?

[zayn]

i have the same one Rs 550

I brought it for 500rs for my brother... quality is not that good earlier products of Pro Biker...

Thanks a lot for the reply man!
The only proper Riding boot in my budget is the one from CRAMSTER but since im more into street and touring i dont want the LONG boots hence i was looking for alternatives,any recommendations?

oh yes you can pick up those Original SWAT boots frm ::OLIVE PLANET:: they cost around 2.6K which i think is a good price,they also have another model which is Waterproof.

Hey Buddy, if you're into touring, I'd definitely try out the Cramsters, if I was on a budget..

On the other hand, if you're basically on the street where speeds are restricted, you combat boots should by itself do okay.

Alternatively, try out Shop in the US from India @ 20North - Millions of products, Thousands of brands who had an offer running on the Puma V Flats. These are really nice short cuff road boots which are also great for just chilling. I'm not sure though about the shipping and duties costs.

i brought it same for 450rs from karol baugh mahalaxmi and yes its quality is not good the stitches are poor the dots are removed from fingers but nice grip and hard nuckkel.

Which 1 is better among-DSG Carbon and DSG Primal Gloves??

[Sirius]

Guyz I am planning to buy a riding gear soon. Cost is not a problem. Only problem is I should be able to remove it easily, fold it and keep it in my bag, as I am gonna take it to my college daily. As far as I have researched so far, no riding gear can be folded like a shirt. Confused. Help me.

If you're talking about riding jackets/pants etc. No. They cannot be folded and put it in a bag unless of course you get one of those mountaineering rucksacks . Well, if you remove all the armour, they will fit in, but then it fails to serve its purpose. If safety is the concern, then knee/elbow guards can be a good substitute. They can fit inside a bag. I use knee guard and carry them in my bag when not riding. Though not elbow guard. Not sure if both elbow and knee guard will fit inside a standard size college bag.
