Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Rynox Stealth Evo v3, MotoTorque Resistor Lvl 2 or Rynox Tornado Pro. Trying to find what's major difference between them. I am almost finalised on MotoTorque Resistor lvl 2 due to Budget but will wait until all options are explored.

Rynox uses Knox L2 armours which are globally recognised, on the shoulder and elbow.

Tornado Pro is a mesh jacket, Stealth is a touring jacket, needless to say, stealth runs hotter.

Pick tornado pro.

The other brand here doesn't use any globally known protection and until you are tight on budget, keep away from same. Hope it helps !

Air Gt v2 is a mesh jacket with level 2 protectors on shoulder and elbow. What else ? It comes with both liners.

I was referring to the quality and features and how VFM is it.
And if anybody is using it then kidly share your experience with it too. It would be helpful.

I have the Air GT V2, apart from 2 leathers (Triumph and Joe Rocket). The leathers have been my usual jackets through the winter. But, I use the Air GT usually in wet conditions or on hot days. It's a good jacket that doesn't let in water in wet conditions, and gives decent airflows minus the linings on hot days. The back protector is Foam and a bit uncomfortable, so I don't use it. In comparison the back protectors of both my other jackets are way better. But, then there is a vast difference in price too.

Overall, it's a good, versatile, well-priced jacket.

I suppose the back protector can be changed right? Or is it non-replaceable?
And do shed some light on the thermal liner of it as well in terms of functionality.

Back protector can be changed. I don't think you can buy Knox armours (the ones on your Elbow and shoulders) as they are not sold separately, but can buy SASTEC L2 armours from Solace gears website. I think many have bought the back Armour and are using it in the GT jacket so compatibility is not a problem. Else, call them up and check if it fits for peace of mind.

1. Back protectors can be replaced.
2. Thermal liner suffices for Delhi winters, over just a cotton T-shirt inside.

Thanks for your time and valueable words.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I've spent some 500kms+ all together on the MT Revenge, Blade(now the Axor Stealth), Mugello and Thunder helmets.

Mugello is not at all a bad helmet, but when compared Revenge and Thunder, Mugello is bare bones, the Thunder has padding which is much more premium quality, both to touch and feel, Thunder feels more weighted and solid to to hold and wear (which give more confidence in the helmet personally).
Also I kept pulling the Mugello down couple of time kind of felt it was falling short to cover my chin completely and chin was hanging out, but had no such problem on the Thunder, it completely covered my chin and there was no pulling down again and again.

Wind noise is a bit problem in Mugello when compared to any other since its the entry model MT helmet, there is a mesh hole in the front left and right side which cannot be closed atall inthe Mugello, which causes hauling at speeds. Finally Thunder has a tinted sun visor which can be helpful for touring and city rides if you are into that sort of thing

Take a look at the paddings side by side yourself, compare both pics and the quality.

https://www.spartanprogear.com/collections/helmet-accessories/products/mt-mugello-inner-liner-cheek-padding?variant=12201339420761

At the end of the day choice is all based on the individual, compare them side by side and choose the one that you like which fits your need.
Happy riding

Can the padding of thunder attached to Muggello?

Sadly no, both have different contours and mounting clips points are different locations.


Also, not sure if anybody posted this video back here. Aspida is giving free Jacket replacement for a damaged Jacket during crash during 1st 2 years from date of purchase! Nice gesture SPG!

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Guys is the new Furious Jacket worth waiting for? They're launching a new one similar to the Evo V3 gray color. It would have similar accents of gray (light and dark) and red. The protectors I assume are L2 carried on from the previous gen which are currently the highest available level. There would be a hike in price but Solace says it'd be competitive. And it's direct competitors are the Aspida Odysseus and the Stealth Evo v3 which are 11250 and 11500 respectively so I expect the price to be hopefully below that or at least match that. Would it be worth waiting for the new one? Or does it make sense getting the old one?

I'm assuming that they will not discontinue the old models/color when launching the new color. They may have few in stock and hence see the new one and it's fitting before deciding. I own the furious and it's a very good jacket. Excellent for the price we pay for it. Few stitches come out, but not a deal killer.

I guess yes, it will be worth it. Furious used to be 1k more in price compared to the old evo v2, so I guess definitely it will again be 1k more, but that's just guess work on my part.
I have been using the old one (aka the current one) and it's a very good jacket, well sorted and the protectors are big too, especially the chest and back protectors have very good coverage and ventilation.

Hope I helped. Goodluck on your purchase.
