Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Guys suggest good riding jacket under 7.5k
With atleast level 1 back protector

Rynox Tornado Pro would be your best bet at 7450/-
If you can furnish a bit more, you could go for DSG Triton at 7999/-
But IMO, Rynox is better
Ride safe

Hello Riders,

Has anyone used biking Brotherhood's Explorer jackets, if yes can you please let me know if it's worth the investment or is there anyother options available round about the same price range (I was quoted 5.5k).

Hi guys,

You can try Solace Sprint riding jacket(will come with CE Level-1 armours) and later upgrade to SAS-TEC(CE Level -2) elbow,shoulder & back armours. I have this setup, costed me ₹8500/-
Jacket ₹5800
Armours ₹ 2700

I have using from Aug 2016 for office rides (50km two way) it is holding up well.

Overall I am happy with the purchase.

Cheers!

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I guess you may be right. But carbon fiber sheets are too expensive either. Like a 300 cm2, 2 mm thick sheet cost max 2000 rupees or something. Looks good though

True. Exactly what i wanted to convey .
So do not fall for false claims of Carbon fibre.
IMO: Rynox Delta Evo is better given the features and the price being 700/- lesser than the TBG ones.

RYNOX Tornado Pro does come with a Level 1 back protector. Have used it, so can tell you for sure.

Solace I am not sure as have not seen it personally.

Any opinions or feedback on Royal Enfield riding gear?
How do they fare against gear from say TheBreedGear or SpartanProGear?

Cheers and regards.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

None of the glove sold by brands come with Carbon fibre material (That is a very very expensive material). All just have carbon fibre finished knuckles. I had made a mention of this same thing a few months earlier as well.

None of the gloves have real carbon fibre.

I am not too sure about this. For one thing when I went to get my Solace jacket the owner himself showed me the solace race pro gloves and specifically mentioned that carbon fibre and titanium knuckle protector was original carbon fibre and not carbon fibre finish. I guess we could drop a mail to the other manufacturers and ask them to clarify the same.

Carbon fiber sheets are not so expensive. It becomes expensive when you use layes of them to make composite structure.

So it's probably carbon fiber but may be just one sheet. May just provide bit of abarsion resistance not impact protection

If you want to compare the Darcha line...It's the best. But it's way too costly as well. Then in line is the most used Rynox , Spartan , dsg, PSG etc including the breed gear. Nothing different in the. If you ask me. For 7500 I got the breed jacket just because it was with lev2 armour. But now a lot of companies offer the same. If you afford Darcha go for it if not any one of these brands are selling more or less similar products.

Royal Enfield has quite a few jackets. So which one are you considering ?

If you are checking out the lower variants, you will have many options in it. Darcha is a good jacket but if you are willing to spend that much you can also check the Revit jacket.

Not the Darcha, it is expensive and seems to be adventure-touring oriented. I would prefer something in the 5k-10k range with the best protection possible since most of the riding will be in urban areas. I was looking at the Explorer V2 jacket and Mid Rise riding shoes. For gloves the GT long or WR long. I think other brands like TBG, SPG and Solace offer much better protection due to level 2 armors, but I think RE has some really nice value for money boots.

At 5-7 k range you can actually consider Royal Enfield. But I feel it's the brand name which controls the price rather than the quality itself. At 5-7k I will go for Rynox because the brand is active and customer feedback is good. Go for a brand which has shop nearby so that you can check stuff out in detail. We all know how royal Enfield after sales service is [emoji24] btw
