  • Bachoo motors Tarmac Nomad riding pants

    Hi,
    I am currently considering buying Bachoo motors Tarmac Nomad riding pants. If anyone owns a pair, could you provide a review/opinion about the build quality of the pants,how comfortable they are,etc. Are they worth it? Thanks in advance.

        There is one by solace as well. It's more expensive than tundra. In Chopra's, Karol Bagh delhi I saw one called Ignite for 1100₹. I'll get that probably. It has knuckle protection and palm slider. Waterproof and its warm.

          Will be buying a riding jacket and a pair of glove in the coming week. All all the research as per my budget, have narrowed down to the BBG Xplorer and Rynox AirGT 2.0 jackets. Kindly chip in your experience on these. Both cost in the similar range with a difference of 250rs. The Xplorer is for 6k and the later is 250 lesser.

          My personal choice is the Xplorer, but also considering the Rynox if it overpasses per you experiences.

          Also, the BBG full gauntlet gloves vs the Aspida Ares. These too cost around the same range with a difference of 250rs or so. Here too, BBG has a little extra protection per my resrarch, but would like to hear from you guys if you think otherwise per your experiences.

          Thanks !!
          Happy wrooming..
          Go with BBG xplorer and BBG gloves.
          BBG Xplorer has a better mesh than Air GT, also finish and fit of xplorer is way better.

          Gloves, BBG has thinner leather but better palm protection due to sliders.

            Solace has one. I don't remember the name, but it's nice quality, comes with thinsulate membrane. Also a friend of mine uses DSG winter gloves.

              Solace has striker which is waterproof and has carbon finish knuckles with touch screen enabled finger tips afaik.
              Tarmac also has a water proof gloves called Hydra.
              Iam using iron jia waterproof gloves from aliexpress and they do the job fine and cost half of whatever Indian manufacturers have in the market right now.

                Thanks Astrix. Got a chance to try out the BBG Xplorer and the mesh quality and fabric seemed to be much more better than that of the rynox air gt v2. Will wait for the size to be in stock before i go for it.

                Thanks !!

                  Agreed. Tried them on and feels reliable and better than the Rynox Air GT V2 mesh. Had a word with the BBG manufacturers, and am pretty satisfied with the quality assurance mostly from the reviews in various blogs and Social Media.

                  Thanks Mate !
                  Happy revving...

                                If you got a chance to have a word with the Manufacturers I am sure, it is much assuring. BBG Xplorer I have not tried personally but I just checked it online now after reading your comment and looks like a good jacket. Do share your feedback once you buy it and use it.
