Royal Enfield Lightwing multi rays modular helmet review

Image
Switching from a half-face helmet to the Royal Enfield Lightwing modular lid was always going to be a step up, and the difference was immediately noticeable, especially in terms of weight. At approximately 1,475g, it’s significantly heavier. The first few rides made that clear, but a week into using it as my daily, the added weight faded into the background. In fact, it now feels like a fair trade-off for the added sense of security and build quality. It also impresses with its solid construction. The shell feels sturdy, and the matte black and yellow finish has held up well despite being subjected to Mumbai’s harsh summer sun. There’s no fading or visible wear, which says a lot about its durability in real-world conditions. The inclusion of a ratchet strap instead of a double-d ring closure system might disappoint some, but it isn’t a deal-breaker in my books, although I’m primarily confined to the urban jungle. Chin bar doesn’t sit flush upon closure; demands effort. The integrated ...

Raida Rover Riding Pants Review

Image
I have used a variety of riding pants, and a couple of months ago, the Raida Rover caught my attention. My routine consists of riding many different two wheelers, and the relaxed fit and cargo-style pockets seemed like something that would add more practicality to my everyday life.  The pants are available in nine sizes ranging from XS to 5XL, and as with most brands, I opted for a size S. The fit was relaxed and breathable, and the Velcro adjustment straps at the waist, above the calf and at the ankles allowed me to fine-tune the fit according to my liking. The Raida Rover riding pants get CE Level 2 protection at the knees and hips. A thoughtful addition is a soft foam pad for the tailbone as well. While it isn’t a proper CE protector, it is nice to get at this price point.  Additionally, at no extra cost, the pants come with a base thermal liner and a rain liner for different riding scenarios. Constructed from a 600D polyurethane-coated polyester chassis with mesh panels r...

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 long-term review, 2,600km report

Image
Even though the honeymoon period is over, I still very much love my Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350. But like any relationship, some cracks have begun to surface. Since I’ve brought it up, let’s talk about them. One thing I complained about in my previous report continues to annoy me – the mirrors coming loose. While it was restricted to just the left one earlier, it has now plagued the right mirror too. It’s annoying, to say the least, and I’m considering using Loctite as a permanent solution. For now, I have to stop ever so often on my ride to tighten the mirror in place.  Two new irritants have cropped up too. First is the check engine light, which pops up intermittently. It hasn’t affected the bike in any way that I could tell, but I will get it checked at the next scheduled service.  Check engine light flashes intermittently; there’s no noticeable issue. Then there is that stylish rear fender. It still looks super cool and gives the Goan its distinctive style, but of la...
