    I'm facing pain in my palms(mostly right) after just 20-30 minutes of riding on my KTM D200 on the highways with mostly upright position at an average speed of 80-100kmph. Can someone help me out in choosing the right gloves with proper padding(right now I'm using the cheap ass Pro-Biker gloves) or can the issue be solved by replacing the handle bar grips??
    I know, my reply may not satisfy your query. But when I used Firefox bicycle riding gloves(rs. 650/ approx), while riding a bicycle of course, I found that this particular type of gel padding on the palm may help riding sports bike like R15 or may be KTM duke.

    You can check one for yourself at any Firefox outlet. But this particular set of gloves do not provide any protection brother.

    Just my two cents.

      I have visited Cramster store, Kothrud (near McDonald karve road),
      Probikers, MG Road, and
      Laxmi Auto, JM Road,
      Planet DSG was closed by the time I reached there.
      So Could not find the Rynox gloves anywhere. Are there any other riding gear stores in Pune?
      The Cramster store which you visited also stores Rynox products. I bought the Rampage from There itself or else you can check the Rynox store in KP behind German Bakery. The last time when I went there it was closed and when asked around got to know that they have been closed down from many days. Just check once and make sure. If you can increase the budget do take a look at the Spartan Phaeton gloves at Rs 2100. They are available at Moto 101.

        Yes they had Rynox gears but only the Kombat full gauntlet gloves which for everyday use is just not feasible. Will visit Moto 101 today.

          Spartan ProGear
          Can these be removed without removing shoes i.e. are they "wrap around" type? Never used knee guards before, so not much experience.

            No they are not Wrap Around Type. Its like a sleeve. Wear them before you put on your pants. You have got 2 straps to tighten them at the top and bottom so that it wont slide down. Its made of stretchable material which is breathable. I am using one. I find it very comfortable...

                Hello Xbhpians here are some pics of my New jacket Aspida Hyperion. You can see there are few upgrades done by spartanprogear in this new jacket.
                1) Horizontal strip of codura across the chest with reflector.
                2) Accordion stretch panel on arms.
                3) No external clip for securing glove, which was there in earlier models.
                4) New strap system to secure elbow guards on the place.
                5) New brand name tags.

                      Hi guys, Am looking for a jacket and gloves in the budget of 5k & 3k respectively. The jacket would be used for regular as well as touring purposes while the glove would be mostly used for touring purpose only. Am confused between spartan icarus & dsg evo in jackets. The options am considering for gloves are dsg primal, dsg carbon & spartan ares. Any other better options for both jacket & goves would be appreciated.

                      Thank you

                          You can have a look at fastrack helmets, they have a few designs made for the fairer sex, like this one http://www.flipkart.com/item/HLMDSFKHD45TWGFS

                            Friends, could someone please let me know of any authorized retailer for Scoyco products in New Delhi? I tried to find their website but could only find a Chinese website which doesn't have any information about India.
