  • I need to buy some riding gear from mumbai...Any good shops that you guys know of? I would be better if it was on central line or near dadar...
    I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

    • @Horror: You can check Bachoo Motors at Tardeo's for Rjays - Expensive they are though.

      Opposite Bachoo's is another shop - the name I cannot recall - again expensive gear.

      Check out Smart Designs at Wadala for DSG/alpinestar stuff.

      You can check AH Helmets at Andheri West for pretty much every brand available in the Indian market right now. Many items are made in south east asia/china so do check em out before you buy .

        Balaclava - Scoyco - Rs120


        Personally I've seen Fox, Axo and KTM knee+elbow guards, and they come nowhere to the quality of the Scoyco K11 knee guard. Also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bhavishya Devgun of Rawadventures.co.in and that guy is truly awesome, he is a passionate biker like us guys with innumerable tours all over india. As for his products, his stuff don't cost anything more than the ones available in the market and the quality is faar faar better. I've decided to go in for the Scoyco JK17 riding jacket and will buy it the day it comes in stock.

        The only thing I'd like to mention is that the K11 scoyco comes with only the knee guards, i.e. elbow guards are not a part of the bundle. This is not a problem for a guy who uses a riding jacket as elbows are covered with the jacket armour but for someone looking only for the knee+elbow guard combo, the k11 won't be apt. Although the K10 is a worthy option to look at
        i also went to chopra's last week to buy these.. got myself KTM elbow 'n knee guards and the same probiker gloves. the gloves are pretty okayish but i am not satisfied with the guards.. do tell me if you are satisfied with yours or not.
        God left this place a long time ago..

          I am looking for something like this.
          Got them from mahalaxmi. He quotes anywhere from 500-700 for them so bargain hard and get as close to 450 as possible, I didn't bargain as I took a 4.5k lid from him that day so he gave me a good price for the other stuff too

          I've seen just one pair of KTM elbow and knee guards and to me they do not look/feel good. I found the scoyco k11 to be the best in the non bionic segment around rs1000 so I took them. Although some delhi xbhpians told me today that AXO bionic knee guards are available for around 1000 too, so you might wanna check that.

          The scoyco products were brought off Mr. Bhavishya, call him before handas he is in delhi for just a couple of more days.
          A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            congrats for your 100th post !

            can you tell where precisely is Smart Designs at Wadala ??
            A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

              Reasonably priced shop.

              Opposite Bachoo's is another shop - the name I cannot recall - again expensive gear.

              I think its called Performance Racing Store. Make sure your wallet is loaded before entering. Mostly high end stuffs.

              Check out Smart Designs at Wadala for DSG/alpinestar stuff.

              Nice shop, though difficult to locate. Lots of interesting outdoor stuffs apart from riding gears. Reasonable price.

                • My search for Knee guards led to this and now I'm not going to compromise on safety and quality. Going with the best out there.

                  Picking up the A* Bionic knee guards soon from DSG.

                    Did you buy these Scoyco stuffs from a Shop? If so please let me know the dealer and If you can please check if he deals all Scoyco products such as Jackets, Gloves, etc and the price of Scoyco JK-17 jacket.
                    If you need a reason to ride, you are not on the right bike.

                      I brought the scoyco stuff from Mr. Bhavishya devgun. He imports this stuff directly. The JK17 is priced at 3500 and as of now not in stock.

                      Here's his contact number : 9910460777. You may also want to check out his site : Rawadventures.co.in

                        How about A* Defender Knee Protectors. Have you tried/checked that?

                            • Guys do they have anything other than Rjay's at bachoo motor's in mumbai... The chepest gloves I saw on their sites cost around 2000 and that's way out of my budget. I want something under 1000. Any other good places you guys know of???
