Im looking to buy boots for myslef.
I would prefer the cut boots with just ankle support and not the full length boots as that would be just too impractical for me to use.
Im liiking for something like the Alpinestars S-MX-2 Alpinestars S-MX 2 Boots: Red - 14,250.00Rs

I have a budget of about 5-10K.
please advise me which companies i should consider and also where will they be available.
Preferably in PUNE.
thanks for your help.

You can try Cramster stuff or even Rjays!!!!
The cost mentioned is perfect for these buys.....What type of riding are you looking for??? city+ highways+ three digit speeds, City riding+ three digit speeds, highway+ three digit speeds??
Narrow it as much possible so that you get the best product, you are investing a hefty amount for shoes so narrow your requirments.

Its not mesh....but it has 6 vents which are perfect and cooling when riding your bike....water doesnt sweep inside even if the vents are open cz there is a rubber lining inside...you can ride without the inner liner and not sweat while riding....but the weight..its the only negative feature of the jacket....

Weight is Nero is more compared to other jackets due to extensive use of 1080 denier fabric at major points while rest of jacket is manufactured with 600 denier fabric for enhanced safety.
Most other companies use lighter 320/460 denier fabric for keeping weight down but the safety offered gets reduced. We do not have plans to change the fabric used in Nero so you'll have to bear that extra weight

I have the axo knee guards, which are flooded in the market, not convinced that any of them including mine are original, if i have the time i will email axo and try to get confirmation, i couldn't find these guards on their website.

Further to my point that i made a couple of months back, whilst trying to buy a riding jacket, I was offered an alpine stars jacket, which had no name, just told by the dealer it's a basic model (the dealer advertises on this site), as I know all models have a specific name/identity, i mailed the pictures to Alpine stars in Italy, who confirmed it was indeed a fake. The dealer claimed he must have been duped by the importer and would take the product off the market, Alpinestars had requested the details of the dealer, i didn't oblige to date, i thought i'll give the dealer benifit of doubt.

But the real shocker to me is the reaction from other forum members (which was zero) not one single member had requested information on this jacket, so as to avoid. Many of you will buy fake products, but not really care whether or not the product is genuine or fake, the most important issue is saving money not lives, i am perplexed by this attitude, the bottom line is if you want to be fully kitted out in genuine safety gear, you need to expect to spend atleast 12k, which is a large proportion to what most will spend on purchasing a bike, even then you still have no guarentee that ou will walk away from an accident, but your chances will be higher, using fake products is always going to be a gamble, your protectors need to be original and CE marked.

Ultimately it's your call.

We'll appreciate if you could forward us details of the retailer who offered you the product.

Can you wait till the end of the week! we have an exciting offer coming up in boots

Regarding your AXO's - ( I presume that you're talking about the TMKP version, since the markets are flooded with them) chances are very good that they're fakes cause the brand has no representation in India and if they were being sold by a reseller, they would be at least the factory retail price they are in Europe which is about 35 Euros (Rs.2250). How they sell 'originals' for 1000/- odd rupees after cost+insurance+freight+duties+margins beats me. Obviously fakes IMHO.

The good news is that the basic mould is in the open market and the many knock-offs and similarly designed products do serve the basic purpose of knee-protection ( after all, something IS better than nothing ), the caveat being that even the original was meant for -offroad use only, and not probably serve adequately in a high speed road crash..

We represent AXO in India and the product has a extremely high probability of being a fake since we do not offer TMKP in market anymore.

Use of low grade material in construction of counterfeits may also amplify the damage to your body. We have met one of the owners of such product who had suffered knee damage on account of the product breaking up and damaging his knee joint.

Thanks for the tips.
Basically my riding will be in the city with maybe twice a month highway run with also a ride to lavassa now and then.
Right now im using an R15 since two years and will use the same for sum time now but i plan to go for a bigger bike after a couple of years hence the requirement of better products.

Friend,
Make sure you have the specified size of Fieldsheer Congo Mesh.
In fact I also shortlisted that but could not find the size from Close Out Sale of Motorcycle Superstore.

Finally bought the Shift Racing Jacket for 120 USD of MEDIUM Size. Waiting for it to arrive by next week thru my US contact.

Shift Racing Triton Storm Series Jacket - Street Bike - Closeout - Motorcycle Superstore

Though still confused about the size. May be I may have to sell it in X-Bhp.

You can buy the Fox Racing armor which contains the elbow and knee guards as a set and retails for 3.5k something at Orion Motors Blore.
