      Congratulations! Brother. Loved all your gears

      Just a question about the knee protectors. Are the smaller in size than the AXO TMKP (similar... i think same shape and structure)?

      And, about gloves, do they come in "fits to all" size or different sizes?

      Do share your review about the fitting of gloves and jacket and comfort and protection about knee guards after testing them.

        • Now that I've bought gloves, its time for knee guards.. One senior xBhpian used Alpenstine Reflex knee guard for his Leh trip & really suggested me to buy those ! I guess reflexes are supposed to be tied inside the jeans right ? Any other reflexes with its review & price ?

            • can anyone suggest a pair of good riding gloves in pune. the pro-biker store sells at ridiculous prices, the normal pro-biker gloves which are available around 400 are retailing for 800+, even the fire roller gloves 900, and ls2 helmets all 3300+, and the guy never gives a discount. the cross gloves are for 800 in pune.

                  cramster in kothrood(behind Mc'D) is another option. their's start from 1100. the twisters in 1500 is good. checkout their website too.


                  regarding probikers gloves, do you know of a place in pune, where they are availbale in 400 bucks.
                  We found out a place in mumbai. AH helmet (check their website also ). selling the same at 450 Rs. and planning to get 10-15 gloves for our biking group(bladerunnerzzz... )..

                  • right now we are in process of checking out their stuff and compare with probikers' stuff, incase quality is different.
                    that way will give probikers in pune also a chance to get good stuff available in competitive price..

                    • Why don't you buy ProBiker gloves from ProBiker shop itself? Won't that give the best quality&price?

                      • The scoyo knee guards and axo knee guards look strikingly similar!!! But yet I bought both the knee and elbow guards of axo for 1000/-, well their reliability will be known only during a fall.... lol. I'm guessing the scoyo guards provide better protection...
                        I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

                          Why would you guess that?
                          Also they do provide good amount of protection, ask me.

                            thanks man for your input, but i know these shops already. i was looking for something different. it looks like we have very little options. i am fed up that in pune we have only a handful shops for us bikers, let me know when you are going to mumbai would like a pair for myself too.

                              I own the same pair and have used them quite alot.Good quality.Not too expensive.Good protection.
                              They have 2 straps under the knee which allow the pad to slide down. There should have an upper strap on the top to hold the pad in place.I have to adjust them after every stop as they tend to slide down.Some people also wear them under loose fitting jeans.But I wouldn't recommend that.
