Universal : Riding Gear Thread

...I m aware that knox is imported but why is there such a huge price gap. Could it be the quality thats inferior.

@ vj - thanks. I am planning to buy. And yes thanks again to you and mithingo for suggesting the cramster brezeer. I have used it on a few rides and it is simply brilliant. Will test its thermal liner when i ride to Goa in december.

Glad to help. But one note of caution, KNOX is world-class, yes you have the cost component, obvious, but then don't forget the technology that's involved in making KNOX a KNOX, so yes we pay a price for the name KNOX

Cheers!

Thanx for the detailed pictures Dreamwalker987, very well clicked. There is a cramster store in Pune will be heading there soon. What size are you using for the protector?



Its an external guard, wear it inside the jacket and remove the foam padding. You might want to keep the padding if its thin, the one in DSG Nero is quite thick.

you are welcome .its M size.
post the pics when u get one.

@Dreamwalker987 - Can you please confirm that its 1800 bucks only. Im getting one for myself. Soo.

One question at anyone who can answer - should this spine protector be used with or without the existing foam pad in the jacket. "My" logic says that it will provide better protection. What do the experts have to say on this.

Yes confirm 1800 bucks only

Any ideas or reviews on how are these– on paper they look good and highly affordable @rs. 3675 but will prefer to have 1st ha d opinion too.. Also I have never really heard of this 'Speed' brand so am a little skeptical...

Have seen these. Of Chinese origin, they are pretty well made and do serve the purpose of a basic riding shoe, though don't expect too much. Bit expensive for what they offer though.

Reminds me of the SIDI Streetburner boots I guess this should do the job well, for basic protection. Why don't you use it well and give your review, that'd be much appreciated!

Hello everyone. I want to buy knee protectors and gloves. can anyone suggest something.
Budget is about sub 3k. can stretch a bit if necessary
For gloves i had shortlisted CRAMSTER MX3 Gloves. any other gloves u guys can recommend would be helpful. mine would be 80% city driving and weekends long rides.
Should I go for full gauntlet gloves?
Can anyone recommend good knee protectors? just saw axo knee guards the other day the guy was quoting around 800 for it with elbow guards.
Are these worth knee guards worth buying. I got more of 1st copy feeling from it.
Don't know where should i start my search at

You've started your search at the right place, don't sweat. Cramster MX3 gloves are a really good proposition for the price. Full gauntlet or 1/2 really boils down to your use, though the full is preferred for touring and the 1/2 is good for local commute, just for the pure practicality it offers.

Regarding knee guards, I'd suggest you get yourself the Cramster Bionic Kneeguard, just for peace of mind, knowing it ain't first copy as you've mentioned, and it doesn't cost a fortune though.

Which Jacket??

Hello all!!
I am planning to buy a bike jacket what would you guys recommend between the dsg nero, cramster eclipse or k2k. Price till rs 8000 or so is not a constraint.
I would like it to be an all weather jacket for touring and also daily commuting. Please share your views!

Why don't you try the Breezer? It being a mesh, and with different liners can act all weather jacket and a summer jacket if needed too, for that air flow. Check that out!

Cheers!

Thanks for the prompt reply VJ!
Can the breezer be used in the winters I was skeptical because of the mesh but you are right it would be a boon in the summers

Query
why should one opt for riding shoes?
Is it mainly because it protects in case of a fall or does it offer any other purpose,like comfort during long rides,
