Unfortunately, their website dainesedstore.in is still not open for business.ĭainese tends to make fitted gear and the Torque D1 looks skinny and narrow.

There are D-Stores in Bangalore and Chennai and the company is exploring two of three more cities for new stores soon. The boot is priced at Rs 30,999 at the D-Store in Bangalore.ĭainese now has two stores in India. They've just arrived at OVERDRIVE's office and they're about to be put to the test.ĭainese is a premium brand and the price reflects this. So we settled instead for the Torque D1 Out. Unfortunately the Axial is designed to sit inside the leathers' leg and that means we cannot test it until we also get Dainese leathers. Dainese's Torque D1 Out boot was their top race boot - what Valentino Rossi would wear - until the new Axial In boot arrived. Across the team, across price bands, the TCX boots have proved that they're the most comfy out of the box, they last a long, long, long time and little seems to faze them - heavy use, irresponsible use and indeed, wetting non-waterproof race boots on a regular basis. Forma makes excellent cost-effective boots.

Sidi makes good ones too but eventually we seem to find that either they wear too fast or the soles fall off after a year or two.

Alpinestars makes good ones but they tend to be expensive unless you can find a sale or discount. When it comes to motorcycle boots, we have tried a whole gamut of them so far.
