  • Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

    Hey guys, i want to buy a pair of gloves, this is going to be the first pair of riding gear i am gonna buy except the helmet ofcourse, my budget is not set yet but for sure wont be more than a thousand bucks, i was looking at probiker gloves they are for around Rs.350/- are they any good? I read some mixed reviews. I also found these https://www.facebook.com/17065465309...22952837868093 any reviews ? I will be riding mostly in the city and some short trips on the highway, do cheap gloves provide any protection in case of a fall or are they pretty much useless?

      (1) SPG Centaur
      (2) Rynox Kombat
      (3) TBG Street
      So can all of you suggest me which is good and also if other glove is available you can suggest. My budget is up to Rs 3500. Will buy the product through online.
      vishal your budget is very nice you can try solace blaze worth 2350 & bravo 2499. i had checked almost all the options while doing my purchase for gloves
      & i bought solace bravo at 2499, i didn't found any other gloves having such protections & quality leather at this price. both are nice options bravo is full gauntlet
      & blaze is semi one. i travel around 10 K with these gloves awesome feel & nice protection. yes there are other options as well but it will be your choice & need.

      check this out Gloves

        Mate your budget is not big. The only decent stuff to me in that budget is the Cramster flux. It is decent city riding glove. But wont recommend highway riding in them. I would suggest increasing budget by 1 k and get Cramster blaster which I can say is well built. But having been in a situation when stretching by 1 k wasn't possible, I'd say if budget is really a constraint get the flux

            I know that budget is really low mate but that's all i could spend on gloves or i would have to wait some time and save up. I couldn't find Cramster flux for around 1k, it is at 1650/-

              Probiker gloves are good for average riding. But fit and finish is not soo good.

              Even you will find scratches on your finger.

              I used to wear it long ago, then shifted to a better one I think AVE GLOVES. That's also below 750/-

                  Initially it's pretty good in looks. Feels very soft inside due to 1 layer of thin foam.

                  Plastic knuckle provides cutting air a little bit easy. It doesn't feel flimsy like few others, your hand remains relaxed. I took it for a 700kms ride and it performed very well.

                  Air ventilation is good but in rain it gets worst. Cleaning is easy. With this you can also handle your mobile phone.

                  I velcro is very good and stays at its place for long.

                  Grip provided is good. It sticks good but don't expect it to be as a alpinestars glove

                      Try the DSG Motomesh gloves. Retails for Rs 1050. Apt for city riding and will fit your bill or if u can increase your budget a bit then try the Solace Passion (Rs 1400)

                          Yes, they are a good VFM. even i use the passion gloves. pretty satisfied with them. if you can shell out an additional 400Rs then buy the passion gloves if not then get the DSG Motomesh (ordered the M size initially from amazon, but it was big for me and they didnt had Small in stock so returned it and ordered the Passion)

                            Do not buy DSG motomesh gloves, they offer zero protection in case of a fall even at very low speeds too, no leather protection at the palm side, so the material gets torn up like a piece of plain cloth. i have tried and test it. ) stars from my side. buy only if you are planning for some protection from the SUN...

                              But, they are good compared to the probiker ones or the gloves sold on ebay. he was on a tight budget so recommended that

                                I'll try them. For sure on my wishlist and for just 400 more it seems really good.

                                Will keep that in mind.


                                Any idea where to buy gloves in mumbai, preferably in the western suburbs?
