Tried that but its of no use since the rates in the other website are under close out sale.....and terms and conditions are not applicable for a close out sale....but the difference is huge man!!!!

Thats where these guys come in to the picture. Cheap shipping rates. Any other site charges anywhere between US$65 to US$100. More orders means more shipping charges.

Check eBay or ICC world too.

Ridersdiscount is good. A friend of mine recently ordered a Nolan helmet from them and it was shipped almost immediately. Reached him within 15 days.

Downside is that they dont accept Paypal. You have to pay via credit card. Email them and ask them about payment and shipping details.

Best part is that any number of orders can be clubbed together and a flat US$25 is charged for shipping. Customs duty will be applicable for orders amounting to over 10K AFAIK.

P.S. vkuchhal and few others were going to order some gear from them. You might want to start a new thread and club orders from other interested folks and share the shipping and duty charges.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for the info . Do you have any idea how much the custom duty will be ? Unfortunately nobody i know is coming from the US anytime soon . They'll come only by june end and i don't really wanna wait till then ! I need a AGV helmet and the SMX-2 gloves .

Thanks,
Balaji

Hey ,
I want to order some riding gear (gloves&helmet) and i came across this site ridersdiscount.com . Is it good ?

Thanks in advance,
Balaji

I have ordered few Items from them, Lets see in how many days the shipment arrives.

But one thing i noticed,. that somethings listed on their site are either out stock or have be discontinued. so just send them a mail before you book your order.

how good are the jacket from Shift Racing? Also, hows Fieldsheer brand compared to DSG?

Ridersdiscount don't have sufficient stocks. They are also slightly overpriced compared to motorcycle superstore or sportbiketrackgear. I recently ordered gloves from sportbiketrackgear.com and their response is very good and they have good stock of the items they show on their website. Ridersdiscount offers a good shipping deal so basically they cancel each other out on pricing.

Rightly said.. the prices at riders discount are same as per product's parent site.. but shipping charges are only 25$ flat and best is that they ship india.
Which other sites do not or if they do are very expensive .

Help me here guys:

I was thinking of maybe getting a Joe Rocket Phoenix 5 or Reactor 2 but then came across the Shift Air Avenger.
Shift Air Avenger jacket review.

The only issue I see with jacket is that fact that the liner is water resistent and not water proof. Not sure how it would hold up when it rains.

I think , the quality of that liner will be far better than most available here by the looks of it.
BTW the new air avenger 2011 model is out which costs 199$ where as the old 2010 model (shown in this review)is going for closeouts in most of the sites for as low as 99$ !
'10 one. -> Shift Air Avenger Mesh Jacket - 2010 - Closeout Price: $99.95! In stock NOW! Why pay list price of $229.95?

'11 one->Shift Air Avenger Jacket Red from SportbikeTrackGear.com

I was just drooling at these for last couple of days when you posted about it. Anyone know about the reliability of the motorcycle closeouts.com site ? and does anyone know, for a shirt size of 39 and waist size of 31-32, which size is preferred? M or L ?
