As an India Bull Riders Member, I am sure you all know that Riding Gears are an integral part of a riders life throughout their journey not just for the rider but also for the pillion.

Saying that - Below are some basic requirements that our Club expects that the rider is owning to ensure the safety of the rider and the pillion for a comfortable and safe rides.

The below listed gears are mandatory for Riders and most chapters would say its mandatory for Pillions as well.

• Helmet - A Full Face Helmet. (No Half Face or Chippa Helmets )

• Jacket - Riding Jackets with proper Elbow, Shoulder and Back Protectors. Or - Any thick Jacket with Proper Elbow Gaurds.

• Pants - Riding Pants with hip and knee protectors or a Riding Jeans with armour or Jeans with Knee Gaurds.

• Gloves - A full finger gloves with protection (No Cut Gloves)

• Boots - Proper Riding Boot (No Sports Shoes/No Canvas or Casual Shoes)

That being said.

What I have:
Helmet - LS2 adventure (modular version). Pretty heavy so wont recommend anymore
Riding Jacket - Mototech trailblazer tour. Highly recommended, but on a heavier side which is quite expected from adv series
Riding Pants - Benkia PS305. Got it from Malaysia. Must for Indian men who never got perfect size. Full water repellent, easy to wash. Not the cordura material but decent one.
Gloves - Sspecs touring. Got it from Malaysia. As good as the rynoxs or cramsters
Boots - Liberty Warrior

What I wish for
Helmet - A decent carbon fiber one. Do not want any other jazzy stuff which only affects that overall durability. Modular is good but compromizes durability. Next in line AGV, Bell, HJC etc. Lets see what comes next
Riding jacket - Would love to stick to MotoTech. However, will go for any of the Rynox mesh jacket specifically for summers
Riding Pants - Will stick to the current ones. I think it suits my requirements
Gloves - Will stick to current ones. However, for winters, really need to have good windproof, waterproof and winterproof gloves. I think many will be seeking recommendations. I have an old MotoBoy one which I got from China some 15 years back and worked good during MA2024. Yet need a bit better one.
Boots - Satisfied with Liberty as for me sturdiness is preferred over waterproofing (which eventually is a gimmic nowadays). For aesthetic, will go for an alpinestar motorcross boots (I like it somehow).
