Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[neil.jericho]

Well I am using the TRG2 for the past 7 months and no complaints what so ever. One of the perfect fit and comfortable gloves I have used. Not sure about the MX3 that the people complaining here, but the TRG2 I am using is really of good quality and am happy with it. I would suggest these gloves for anyone unless I find better ones through our sunny from chennai

I used the MX3 for quite a while till I replaced it with the TRG2, I found it pretty good for city riding (where a gauntlet glove doesnt always make sense). However the TRG2 has lasted me much longer & I find the fit and finish better than the DSG gauntlets. Ive tried all the DSG pairs in Orion Motors, several times, but I have never found a model I am comfortable with. Again, many people have had the opposite experience.

And yes, more competition is always welcome

thanxx brother, i have decided for the trg2 as my main purpose is city street racing and stunting. For the helmet, i will buy it once i go to delhi, so that i can try it before buying. The most imp for me is that helmet shoud be comfortable, protective , white in colour and should have a shiny visor. As this theme matches my bike.

Will update on the gears once i get them

Do some research on this thread for current market prices for fast moving helmet models. I cannot reemphasize enough how important a helmet is and considering you are into city street racing & stunting, the probability of falling is higher than the average Joes. So invest wisely.

Looking forward to the details of your shopping

Guys am still confused between the gloves. A few are saying the TRG2 is more comfortable and durable & a few are suggesting that cramster produces bad quality of products . Anyone here who used both??

Having owned both DSGs & Cramsters gloves, I can confidently tell you that neither makes bad gloves. Cramster has had some documented issues with quality but then again I have seen brand new unsold pairs of DSG gloves with iffy stiching as well. If you can try them out personally before buying a pair, there is nothing like it.

@aargee --> link (Honda CBR ENGINE SEIZED - BAD Experience), show a similar thread on Yamaha.

So HONDA's are bad/worthless.. In my opinion it does not work that way. People have had bad experiences and good experiences with same products. I don't think Cramster could be said all bad because there are people with good experiences as well. And no one is faking it here. In-fact products like knee-guards from cramster looks more VFM to me.

For every product, you will always have customers who have unfortunate experiences. It is important that other potential customers are made aware of these issues but at the same time it is important to not paint all products of the same company with the same brush.

Im no Cramster fanboy but I have had nothing but good experiences with their knee guards and TRG2 gloves.

@aargee --> link ...on what you have used is highly welcome.

Well...HMSI fixed the issue, but Cramster didn't bother to reply or take care of the issues. Honda's engine issue was reported only by me & none of the other's had issues; Cramster...needless to say how many people had issues

I don't work for PlanetDSG either

You didn't get the point. It was not about someone fixing the issue or not. It is about generalizing the issue from a brand which could actually be with one product(not one piece) of the brand. By doing so you are restricting options(sometimes good options) for people to look at. It is like saying, I bought a Skoda Fabia which had issues so never buy a Skoda Octavia RS

Yes I have been following Honda thread as well and I too know how many people do not have issues My quote was on a different context.

[aargee]

^^^ I got your point already; my reply was to your different context.

Madhav - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/coffee-l...-cramster.html, show a similar thread on PlanetDSG

Challenge Accepted!!!

& Found it!!!!

I had a bad experience with PlanetDSG ONLINE sales division. And so did this guy

http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/337327-post90.html

Both stories in the above link. But that doesn't mean I stopped shopping at their Brick and Mortar store since the quality of product was good. But then my Cramster Jacket is good too, so I don't take any sides.

^^^ Once again, one post versus one whole thread + 2009 vs 2011 makes lot of differences.
I'm out of this OT discussion as it make me look like a fan boy!!! Sry men_in_jean!!!

Did anyone use DSG Falcon jacket? Was searching for normal jackets (rbk/adidas etc) but mom asked me to take a riding jacket instead for around the same price. This jacket seems to be wearable in normal occasions + protection, so is it really worth the bucks?
