  • re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

    Hi all
    I am a new member of this forum and a born again biker.
    I used to drive Suzuki fiero for around 6 yrs and stopped the biking for 4-5 yrs. Now I got Inazuma and now investing in biking gear. Got MT blade helmet, which is a great helmet, but yes, whistling sound is an issue.
    After doing some research and trying, I bought TBG Street gloves today. I used it for 30 mins in peak traffic of Bangalore and my knuckles were paining. Seems to be that I bought a size lesser. Should it with large size or. Wait for few days. Pls advice.

        oh those tbg street gloves are nice
        I feel they are a cut above spg gloves;Finish and fit seemed very good when I tried them on. The crash policy is a bonus.Does the knuckle guard have a crumpled appearance?? The one I tried at the shop had some crumpled area on the knuckle. Or is it part of the design?!

            My criteria was also the same. I would recommend a DSG Evo + a back protector replacement. This will fit in your budget. Im 6 foot nd weighs 105kg. DSG Evo 3XL fits me well. DSG Evo costs 5k and you can get the form back protector replaced with a CE rated Back protector for 2k.

            Here is my review of the Evo - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...ml#post1105606

                      Hey guys...thanks to the reviews here I got myself a DSG Evo jacket...

                      And since I did not have much of the moolah left(considering I just bought my bike 2 months ago) got my self the Scoyco MK23 gloves...

                      So..went on a ride to lonavala a couple of weeks back..and and the unfortunate even of a skid due to brakes locking (and the God damn unmarked speedbreaker!!)...anyway I have ended up with a fractured patella..and honestly would like you guys to help me out if you'll could...need to make sure I get a decent pair of knee guards but got a budget of about 3-3.5k..any suggestions??

                      Oh..I'd be lookin to buy them in say a months time when I can get back on my bike...

                            Try Chopra Automobiles KB or Meandering India, Vasant Kunj. Both of them are official dealers and stock DSG jackets.

                              I want to buy a pair of riding gloves for my day to day riding and occasional trips.
                              My Budget is strictly under Rs 2500/-. Now i have few queries:

                              1. What should I look for in the gloves?
                              2. How the fit should be?

                              Can you please suggest some options under Rs 2500/- keeping in mind that the gloves could be worn during summer and winters both.

                              Thanks
                              Going for a good leather gloves would be good than going for cheap alternatives. It would be better to go for a Full Gauntlet one. Here are the options around 2.5k

                              Spartan/ASPIDA - Phaeton Gloves 2099
                              Spartan/ASPIDA - Pegasus Gloves 2599
                              Cramster TRG2 - Racing Gloves - Full Gauntlet 2600
                              Cramster Blaster Street Gloves 2100
                              DSG Revive Gloves 2499
                              Rynox KOMBAT Gloves 2750
                              DSG Primal Gloves 2999
                              TBG Street Gloves 2999 (I use this personally and would recommend this if your budget would stretch)
