#PledgeForSafety On World Motorcycle Day: Riding Gear Kit Under ₹30,000

In a country with the highest number of road accidents in the world, staying safe on two wheels is of utmost importance. And as a two-wheeler rider, the dangers are far more amplified. Riding gear is your battle armour in this war against being part of the statistics. So, while the common notion is that a full set of riding gear is expensive, we help you build a starter kit for just ₹ 30,000. But before that, here’s why wearing the right gear is extremely important.

IMPORTANCE OF GEAR

As brilliant as the human body is, it is also extremely fragile. And while evolution did play its part in making us one of the most intelligent species on Earth, sadly not many of us remain so intelligent on a two-wheeler. 

So, in the event of a crash, the least that one would face is road rash marks on the skin and it can quickly escalate to fatality irrespective of the vehicle you ride or the speed the impact takes place. 

Hence, a helmet is the very least that you should be wearing and not because the laws force you to but because you want to live to fight another day. And then after that, you get the gear that will suit your riding the most. 

BUILDING THE KIT

We have been using all kinds of riding gears for decades now. While it might look expensive from the outside, we think a good full set of gear isn’t, especially considering what the repercussions of not wearing it are. So, in the following video, we took help from our friends at PlanetDSG and Open Road Riding Gear stores in Pune to build an accessible and yet great starter riding gear kit.

And once you get sorted, choosing specialised gear is an endless and expensive rabbit hole, one that will keep you safe and happy on all of your riding adventures.
