Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

All the gear is good to go, also glad you are spending less on the knee guard for now. Looks like a clear plan to get pants next.

Also since you are buying from one place, also try the Rynox Tornado gloves, they have sliders and gloves with sliders are totally worth your extra ₹500. Other options are Viaterra Holeshot. (but I assume that won't be available there)

Goodluck buddy.
Ride safe

Hey midnight evil

Cheers buddy [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Hey buddy I own an Avenger 220 cruise. Does your ride have an upswept exhaust? Guess this particular saddle bag is for straight exhausts. Do check out the compatibility mate.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hey Guys, its me again. Hope you all are doing absolutely fine. My never ending search for a new helmet is still on and with so much limited stocks available for my head size, I have raised my bar to the premium segment. Now I have two contenders yes yet again. Please advice.

1. Caberg Drift Carbon Pro
2. Scorpion EXO 1400 Carbon

Both are like way beyond my initial budget but I am gonna save for some more time since after putting some thought into it I thought its better to get the best in the segment that I can afford to.

Dont see lot of feedback around Caberg helmets, looks like a new player to me. Google feedbacks are minimal but good. Scorpion is the best as per Google reviews just wondering if its worth spending that extra bucks over Caberg? Thanks guys for being so patient.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I'd recommend the scorpionEXO. Spares are easy to source and 1400 series has been super reliable from the start. Scorpion also gets ACU gold sticker, if that speaks for quality. Also the longer warranty period tells about the confidence of the brand in it's product.
Goodluck.

Hi guys,

Planning to buy knee protection soon. Shortlisted The Rynox Bastion Knee guards, any other reputed knee guards in that price range.

Also please guide me if knee guards are okay or saving more and getting a Kevlar based riding jeans like Solace Gravel or pants like Rynox Storm Evo riding pants?

Cheers!

Hello, wear the knee guards and sit on your bike,see if it touches the tank of your bike.Most knee guards touch the side of the tank and after frequent touching while riding,it causes scratches on tank.Riding pant and Jeans are a good upgrade.Cheers

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I would suggest save more and get a pair of riding pants as you will get protection for knee and abrasion resistance for your whole lower half.
Bonus point-If you buy a black pair of riding pants,you will pretty much look ordinary (aside from the reflective material),whereas a knee guard may attract stares from people or police may treat you as a "racer".

Riding pants are comfortable than knee guards, Solace just launched S30 riding pants @₹7,450/-,its an updated version of their Tourjet V2 pants. Comes with Level 2 protectors on Hip, Knee+Shin from Safetech(Italian)
If you need more ventilation, 2 additional pockets, front opening, then checkout their Coolpro pant(₹8,150/-). Comes with Level 2 protectors on Hip, Knee+Shin from Sas-tec (Germany). Rynox does have Storm Evo at 8k mark but with Level 1 Knox Microlock protectors at Hip, Knee & Shin.
