Rjay Gloves

Any feedback on Rjay's Canyon or JetSream 2 gloves (sold by Bachoo motors)? I have been looking at taking DSG revive - but stocks are just not available with their dealer in Bangalore. Not that the Rjay's dealer here has stock - thinking of buying them online instead.

If you are in Pune. Then try Prakash stores in Khadki.. I got mine for some 1300 or 1400 (not sure of the price)

I will tell you the reason I wear gloves myself.

1. To prevent accidental slippage of clutch or brake lever due to sweat or water (during rains). Hence prevent any mishap

2. In case of a crash I dun want my hands to get scraped, specially my knuckles & my palmrest area. (These are the prime area of hand that get hurt during a fall or crash)

3. Helps me grip the smaller handlebar of the bike well as I have big hands :P

4. After wearing gloves for last 6 years it has become a habit for me that now I cant confidently ride without wearing gloves :P

Basically the first 2 reasons are the main reasons to wear gloves (its more important if one owns a BIG & POWERFUL bike )

Hope this was of any help to you. Thanks

Wearing a glove is absolutely not that important depending upon need in town, but when you're going for a long trip, it's an absolute must to protect your delicate knuckles in case you fall. That said, invest in a leather glove for comfort and protection.

RJays Canyon and the Jetstream gloves both are leather which are really good if the unexpected happens which is far better than a textile and should fit the bill perfectly. Leather is always preferable than textile, I always say.

hey guyz,
At last got ma riding gear and its really nice, which tend me to write about it .

so,this is the brand which i got


i think for many it may be a new one . yes,its fresh and new . i got it from spartan pro gear in chennai . mr.sunny an Xbhp'ian owns this showroom . it is said that the gears are from us and its been tagged under the name of spartan

so,finally it is the rear part of my jacket with its back protector

and these are my riding gears

i even got an glove too,which was so comfortable but its warm inside
basically its a full glove where we can use it for racing too ..

the gears are built with 3M light material which is good even at dim light
and the gears comes with an blazer cover with hanger .which is quite good because in many shops they just give the gear blankly

since,its my first post please excuse me if i have committed any mistakes and correct me if have done so ..

thank you xbhp .....

KA-CHOW!

Hey great purchase there. Can you do a little help, can you post some clear photos of the inner liner removed and the jacket side by side and the jacket's cover too, if you can please that'd be great, just for more proper view. Great purchase by the way.

Cheers!

Gloves are very usefull. even i had an negative attitude about it,but now i changed after a crash .. the first impact happens in our hand when we fall down so,it could protect you without any damage to your skin and the knuckle are also being protected .. it gives gives you a style and a good feel too..
so,its worth for spending..
