Hey guys, i'm going to buy some gloves and need some help in deciding between cramster trg-2, dsg primal, dsg revive and dsg aqua, ill have to use these gloves for the next 2-3 years, can i expect them to stay for that long(in case i dont meet with an accident). Will the dsg primal/revive get spoiled if i use them in rain(i know they are not water proof), dsg store guy mentioned in a particular post that dsg carbon will get spoiled in rain... so im confused... can you guys also tell me which is the best knee guard available ~2000...

WHAT IS a bionic kneepad... at what price range do these knee pads start?

Edit:got to know what bionic kneepads are... are cramsters kneepads good?

buddy...suggest you think a little more on your requirements...usually leather will not survive the rain test for long...it gets a little stinky as well if wet...you can go for DSG acqua..or rjays h2O....on the previous 1 or 2 pages...Prince has posted the pics and detailed review...check that out..
I think if you consider longevity...leather wins the round...

Cramsters have become crapsters in the recent times...quality has deteriorated...you can check the "genuine" AXOs (if you can find one!!)...or fox raptors..or scoyco k07...some sites which you can refer are...adventureontherocks.com...rawadventures...

hope it helps!

Hello Guys,

I am visiting mumbai in next few days. I want knee guards and want to take a look at some riding jackets. Can somebody point me to good shops. I know Bachoo Motors and PRS. I will be visiting Bachoo Motors for looking at the jackets.

How are scoyco knee guards ? Also please suggest where can I find "genuine Axos" or fox accessories in mumbai ? How to distinguish among real and fake ones ?

Guys...This is what I do with my gloves when it rains...

I have a DSG Primal gloves and its not water proof....So I use the plastic gloves provided with garnier hair dye....The plastic gloves are big and fit perfectly over the gloves....

Finding genuine AXO knee guards is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Why dont you head to PRS and buy the Thor knee guards they have? At least you will be sure that you got the original/genuine product.

I will be visiting few stores before zeroing on. I heard PRS & Bachoo are both near each other. Definitely going there. Apart from them any other good shops to look around in Mumbai ? I will be there mostly from Friday till Tuesday. Do any shops open on Sundays ?

Wouldnt that make it less grippy?

thats my doubt exactly, and with rains, it will become even more slippery... but adding the surgical gloves must be a good option.... but it would definitely spoil the look... but why all this mess, cant we go for dsg aqua which is a lot cheaper?(i hope its not less protective compared to primal...

From my Rx to C250R, I use JoeRocket for both riding pants & jacket. I've Cramster as well as DSG revive for gloves. My next purchase on jacket will be RJay (probably Octane) for sure.

[Blumarine005]

What's your budget BTW..

My budget is between 1000-1500 bucks. Also I need tankpads to hide the scratches on my bike's tank. I saw some onle on planetdsg for Rs.900. Are they worth?
