original scorpion helmet Exo-HX1 Carbon SE (Solid Matte Black) – Durian Bikers The Peak Visors aerodynamics were designed to help keep buffeting and lift to a minimum when riding at high speeds Scorpion EXO XT9000 Carbon Full-Face

Have fun out there, and ride safe :) Pros: A high speed pedelec electric road bike with a lot of agility, lightweight, all while remaining value priced at the same time Not only does it have a high top speed (28mph), but the acceleration is great too, thanks to the Bafang M600 mid-drive with 120nm of torque Comes with torque based pedal assist, cadence based pedal assist, and you can even get an optional trigger throttle for $55 The electrical system is quite refined and streamlined, so much so that you can even shift gears without pedaling in the middle of full throttle The stiffer feel and lack of extras makes for a very fast bike with a greater sense of control and agility since there is less getting in the way of you and the pavement Assisting in that controlled feeling are these shorter length handle bars and this low rise stem which give the body geometry a more aggressive feel This bike surprising lightweight, I was shocked to find out it weighs about 46lbs with the battery in place which is not bad for an electric bike at all If you are looking for more comfort, they sell a touring version for $270 extra that comes with rack, fenders, suspension seat post, a different saddle, and integrated lights A nice 9 speed Shimano Alivio system with trigger shifters, 11-34 tooth cassette, and a 44 tooth chain ring up front with a metal guard A fast bike like this should be easy to stop for both safety and performance, luckily, they added a great set of 180mm rotor Tektro hydraulic disc brakes to handle the job The kickstand is mounted away from the crank arm, this is great since it reduces pedal lock, an occurrence where the pedals strike the kickstand when reversing The 48v 10.4ah battery is great and looks good too in the integrated frame, it can be upgraded to a 13.6ah for an additional $300 I love that the display is mounted in a more protected area in case you drop the bike, it also has a battery percentage instead of a limited graphic bar, and is backlit Cons: The bike is built more for speed rather than comfort, so if you are looking for something relaxed, this may not be the setup for you This bike checks a lot of the right boxes, but there are some cost saving measures here and there, for example, the basic pedals and independent little clip lights The motor can get loud in the higher levels of assist, this may not be a big deal to some, but I wouldnt say this is a quiet bike The haptic feedback on the buttons is a nice little feature, however, I found it annoying and loud, so I turned it off in the display menu The seat was narrow and not the most comfortable, you can upgrade through the touring package, but the one I tried out is on the basic side A lot of the missing elements like rack, fenders, suspension seat post, a different saddle, and integrated lights can be added to the bike which is great, but it comes at a cost, their package is an additional $270 Resources: Official Site:

Best time to visit Kolhapur: The best time is from October to March

I size out at 11 but took these down to a 9.5 to get the fit I want

A half-helmet is the most minimal helmet style you can get

And though they are not known for great stamina, those first few furious headshakes and runs to thick cover can trigger fret about just how many nicks are in your leader and the trustworthiness of your knots
