An Indicator of Evolution
The jury round for the Bike India Awards 2024 for two-wheelers launched between 01 December 2022 and 30 November 2023 was held last month. There were 34 contenders, comprising motorcycles, scooters, electric scooters, and electric motorcycles. Of these 34, there were only three motorcycles below 200 cc along with three electric motorcycles and nine electric scooters; the remainder being big motorcycles. This shows how the Indian two-wheeler market has evolved over the years. It may be recalled here that when the very first Bike India Awards were presented in 2005, most of the bikes were of a capacity below 200 cc.
We had the very first Indian Supercross League and it was witnessed by a large number of spectators who were thrilled by some exciting racing. It was great to see international riders perform and it was evident that there was a big difference in the standard of riding between the Indian boys and their international counterparts; why, even the boys from Thailand were far quicker than our boys. I hope this exposure helps the Indian riders to improve their skill. The only way to improve one’s riding skill is to ride with riders who are quicker than oneself. In my own case, that was what helped me when I was racing. My thought processes ran as follows: if he can go through a corner so much quicker, then why can I not take that corner at the same speed?
There is a desperate need to have training schools for two-wheeler riders to teach them the basic dos and don’ts of traffic rules to which most riders are oblivious. We need an enclosed space where one can teach learners the basics of how to ride a two-wheeler. As the situation obtains today, more than 99 per cent of the two-wheeler riders are not fit to be on the road in the first place.

[Read more…]Clan SNKR Stealth Edition WP Riding Shoes Review
Clan shoes brought in a new form of rider safety for Indian motorcyclists with the Clan SNKR 1.0 riding shoes which offered reasonable protection without looking like full-on riding boots. The Clan SNKR Stealth Edition WP offers a black aesthetic with different coloured highlights and adds the single most-requested feature as an option – waterproofing.
I have been using them regularly for commuting for a little more than a month and they are holding up well against the daily grind. The shoes are true-to-size, which means UK size 9 fits me perfectly. Like any leather shoe, the Clan shoes have also stretched a bit over regular usage and now conform to my feet even better. Despite wearing them for prolonged hours at the office (approx 9-10 hours per day) there’s not a lot of sweat when I am taking them off at the end of the day. Granted, they are not as airy as sports shoes and are much heavier, but compared to sitting in the office wearing full-blown riding shoes there’s simply no contest – the Clan shoes win hands down.
While the Clan SNKR Steal Edition WP can’t possibly offer the same level of waterproofing as let’s say a pair of adventure riding boots, they do the job in case of occasional wet patches on the road. In terms of protection, just like waterproofing, the Clan shoes will not match up against touring boots but offer a decent amount of protection which can’t be found in sports shoes. The Clan SNKR Stealth Edition WP offers protection in the form of thermoformed toe caps and heel support; rigid moulded TPU discs with foam padding for ankle protection; an extruded midsole for lateral protection and high visibility reflectors at the rear. Thankfully, I didn’t have to test the level of protection first-hand yet.
Looks are one of the reasons why even people who own a pair of proper riding shoes are reluctant to put them on. Riders often choose to forgo the protection offered by riding shoes on casual rides and commutes, instead opting to only gear up for tours or trackdays. The Clan shoes take that excuse away, as they are nearly as stylish and comfortable as regular sports shoes while offering actual protection against riding-related injuries.
The pair cost Rs 8,999 (the non-waterproof version is Rs 1,000 cheaper) which makes them as expensive as entry-level riding boots, so one might wonder why to invest in a pair of them. Well, the reality is they are not replacing your actual riding boots (which you should ideally still put on every time you are riding a motorcycle), but that pair of sports shoes which you put on when going out on your motorcycle. Compared to a regular pair of sports shoes, the Clan makes a lot of sense because it offers a much higher degree of protection in the case of an accident and you can’t really put a price tag on that.
