        gloves - Twister is a touring glove for extreme weather conditions; MX3 is for city riding

        Jacket- Don't even dream of wearing the Pulse in Delhi Summers; Breezer is mesh material which u can somehow manage, however its not suited for Rainy Season or Winter.

        Order these online.

        Helmets- get what looks good and fits you.

        Cheers.

          as said earlier.....twister is a touring gloves.MX3 is suitable for city riding.

          i personaly use cramster brezeer....looks and feel of it is better than pulse
          pulse which is waterproof but brezzer is not.

          Helmet------ you can decide depending on your budget(try LS2 in my opion).
          Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

              Get a Cramster / DSG instead. Will help you in the long run.

                I agree. Recommend the Cramster MX3 over similar DSG stuff. DSGs are available in Orion Motors, opp Forum & Cramster's store is on Cunningham Road.

                    I tried the Cramster MX3 and the DSG Revive gloves. Both fit well.

                    Cramster MX3 is a mesh glove while the DSG revive is full grain leather. Both have kevlar knuckle protection.

                    I prefer the DSG Revive since it sports leather construction.

                    Any comments on why I should skip DSG and go with Cramster? I intend to make the purchase in the next couple of days so hoping for a quick reply.

                    Thanks in advance.

                      The Revive is the only model from DSG that I havent tried out myself. Had a pair of DSG gloves (the discontinued model that they sold for 1300 bucks) for a year till it rapidly wore out (the webbing between the thumb & other fingers) & became unusable. Saw other xBhpians having the same gloves were facing the same issues that I was. Expected it to last for longer than that. Dont like the feel of any of DSG's full gauntlets.

                      Using the Cramster MX3 since then & the feel through the gloves is way better on them. In fact I like the Cramster TRG 2 (my roomie has it) but they didnt have my size when I had gone to Cramster. Ended up picking up the MX3 which is perfect for city use (which is 98% of my running). No signs of it wearing out whatsoever.

                      Basically for feel (intangible & varies from person to person) & durability I would suggest Cramsters. Plus there is a huge price difference - the MX3 retails for 1100 & the Revive is Rs 2000. If money is not a problem & youre comfortable with gauntlets spend an extra 300 bucks and go in for the TRG 2 ().

                        Thanks for the reply Neil. I appreciate it.

                        Both fit perfectly and the only inclination to DSG was full leather. Will try Cramster again on the weekend and decide. Have another week for the Ninja so hopefully i can reach a decision before it arrives.

                          • Hmm,I too am in a dilemma over the MX3 and the Revive . The MX3 does have good feel and a build quality that's way better than the Motomesh,and 99% of my riding does happen in the city . But,the Revive sports pittards leather construction and has better protection for the fingers. Hmm,let's see.
