Drag racing is the extreme form of adventure that motorcyclists seek without venturing into the wild. A quarter mile of tarmac, ready to witness a breathtaking show of power. At Hero MotoCorp, we understand the unparalleled thrill of drag racing, and that’s why we’ve engineered the Hero Thriller 160R to be your drag racing companion. But mastering the Thriller 160R and pushing its limits on the track requires more than just riding skill – it demands the right gear.
There are a few essential pieces of equipment that can help you transition from a casual rider to a drag-dominating champion. Let’s explore how drag racing gear enhances safety, performance, comfort, and style in the drag racing scene.
Safety First: Uncompromising Protection from Hero MotoCorp
Safety is paramount, whether you are on a regular commuter motorcycle or a high-performance motorcycle like the Hero Thriller 160R. Rider safety should always be first, ensured with a comprehensive range of high-quality gear.
A BSTI-approved helmet is non-negotiable. We recommend a full-face helmet with a sleek, aerodynamic design that minimises wind resistance and features advanced ventilation systems to keep you cool during intense races.
For maximum protection, choose a drag racing suit crafted from abrasion-resistant materials like kangaroo leather or high-density synthetic fabrics, all rigorously tested to meet the toughest standards. These superior suits offer exceptional protection in case of a slide.
Don't forget gloves and boots – they shield your hands and feet from impact and the scorching heat emanating from the engine. Look for gloves with knuckle protection and superior grip and boots that offer ankle support and heat resistance.
Performance Boosters
The Hero Thriller 160R is a powerhouse machine, and with the right modifications, you can unlock its hidden potential. Performance exhaust systems, designed and tested, not only enhance the bike's throaty roar but also improve power delivery and acceleration.
Taking performance a step further, consider performance air filters and fuel controllers. Air filters allow for better engine airflow, increasing power output, and fuel controllers provide precise control over the air-fuel mixture, optimising engine performance for peak power and efficiency.
Comfort and Style: Look Sharp, Feel Great
Drag racing isn't just about speed; it's about expressing your passion and individuality. While safety remains the top priority, there's room for incorporating your style with drag-suitable apparel. Look for drag racing suits that offer a balance between protection and comfort, with features like pre-curved knees and breathable mesh panels for increased flexibility and airflow.
The current trend in drag racing aesthetics leans towards bold colours, aggressive graphics, and aerodynamic body kits. With the competitive Hero Thriller 160R price in Bangladesh, you can get a great machine to customise. From decals and reflective accents to custom paint jobs, you can get everything you need to truly own your drag racing persona.
Maintaining Your Edge: Gear Care for Peak Performance
Just like your Thriller 160R, your gear needs regular care to ensure optimal performance and longevity. You should hire technicians who can clean your helmet visor for clear vision and inspect it for scratches or damage. Leather suits require special cleaning products to maintain their suppleness and protective qualities, and many service centres have the expertise to ensure proper care.
Safety gear, especially helmets, has a limited lifespan. Replace your helmet every 5-7 years or sooner if it sustains any impact. Regularly inspect your suit for wear and tear. A common mistake riders make is neglecting chain lubrication and tyre pressure checks. You should take care of these routine maintenance practices to ensure smooth operation and prevent potential accidents.
