If you plan for Bionic, A* Bionic is a good option. Alpinestars Boinic Knee Guard - 5,250.00Rs
I use Thor Sector (~3k) - which is pretty good as well.

As trustworthy as our PM
The AXOs has been discussed to death in this thread. It is better that you invest in a good quality (but costlier) gear than invest in plastic surgey later

Buddy,

just a thought - if you're spending so much on knee guards that offer iffy protection to the knee at best, why not invest in dedicated riding pants that offer protection for your whole leg at similar money? Just curious!

BTW, IMO the THOR guards are serious VFM! Good buy!

that's like getting premium protection for your torso and step motherly treatment for your legs. Those AXO guards are fake by the way.

So i guess Riding pants are a better idea, but not for daily commuting to office e.t.c., then we need to keep both :P

I guess I spoke of knee guards only because of their ease of daily use..easier to remove them during daily office runs .

Sandeep: Much better protection on offer with a riding pant as said. Sunny should be able to help you better with this.

Meant to be worn inside jeans. I use it outside though - convenience
Brought from Performance Racing Store Mumbai - you can get them online as well.

Sandeep\pgaucha,

The armour quality is great in my opinion. A few other users other than me are having good experience with Sector
It can be worn inside normal jeans....but if you intent to wear it inside, it takes away the convenience factor right? Better go for a riding pants as Sunny mentioned above.

I don't have any snaps that I can share with you.

Also Sector if worn outside, has no rivets that will scatch your tank - but there is no upper thigh strap.
