0:36 The way Ryan moves the MIPS tells me that I have much to learn 🤣
So sexy 🤣
So true... So funny. 😂😂😂😂😂
Omg 🫣
I want to like this but I can't because then it would have 70 likes.
Dude, I know this is an old vid, but last year I went down HARD at 50 MPH and the LS2 Strobe preformed flawlessly. In fact, all my other gear did to and I was blessed enough to be able to pick the bike up and ride away from that nice little slide into the gravel ditch. I am a die hard fan of the LS2 Strobe!
Dark knight to dorky white. I've never laughed out loud on a motorcycle gear video. Great job Ryan !

I just discovered you guys yesterday. I must say that your delivery is spot on, the content is creative and intriguing, and it's rare to find a channel these days that isn't full of clickbait and gimmicks. Thanks for doing that, keep up the good work.
Can we please have a 2019 or 2020 version of helmet reviews waiting...
I'd watch that!
Just ordered a spirit seca gold.. seems underpriced to me
2021
@@johnsontrucks8806 yeye
I'm with you all. 👍
I love your honest reviews, you tell it how it is with just the right amount of humor and video style to keep the audience engaged. The "literal garbage" comment for the Z1R Jimmy's helmet bag still makes me laugh.
After watching alot of FortNine's videos....I just don't understand how or why this channel isn't HUGE! By far one of the better motorcycle centered channels on TH-cam. Great stuff here FortNine. Thank you.
Nice content! Keep it up!
4:09 that face was legendary Ryan hahahah love your guys' videos! Keep up the good work.
No way I'd risk wearing anything but a full face. Maybe on open roads in the middle of nowhere, but never with SUV driving soccer moms and stupid teenagers near by.
@Greg Myers What are you talking about?
@Greg Myers Selling out? dude? what? because he'd recommend a non-full faced helmet?
You do realise what motorcycles are right? yes it can be a cheaper alternative for commuting but ultimately? its all about what level of risks are you willing to take. While I personally will never wear anything but a full face, I won't judge people for wearing half-buckets, so long as they're wearing respectable gear alongside it. Some people just like having a half-face because it lets them converse more easily, they find it more comfortable with goggles and maybe a face mask.
Biking is weighing the risks against comfort. Just because he showed off a good budget half-face bucket doesn't mean he's a sell out, he even stated that he wouldn't ride with the scorpion. As for his 'credibility' amongst youtube motorcyclists? uh ... do believe he's still rated highly by pretty much every motovlogger, and alooot of bikers in general because the tips he gives are solid and the reviews he does are cute, quirky an brutally honest.
Just because you wont do it, doesn't mean there aren't riders who don't prefer open face buckets and just because they prefer it doesn't make them any less of a biker than you or lose respect. Just depends on if they're wearing T-shirts, shorts and sandals.
@@ghoodlife can you prove he is biased in his reviews or do you just feel like slandering him?
@@ghoodlife so no, you cant prove it.
john yoon throw around as many insults as you like it doesn’t cover up the fact you said something stupid and can’t back it up.
"Look like literal garbage."
I honestly laughed out loud. New subscriber binging on some of your older vids.
Really enjoy them, the personality and excellent production.
Thanks.
Only reason like I like this geek is because he is the absolute honest motorcycle dude that keeps it real on here. He'll tell a donated product they are shit if they are. And in a geek way, he'll convince you they are. At the same time, I've bought so much gear off his videos due his geek way of explaining why something is really good and convincing me why. FortNine saved my life due to his videos. Probably many other lives as well due to his advice. First to admit it but as always...keep an open mind and keep watching other vids.
Greg Myers He never recommended it. He is simply telling the public about gear which is significantly cheaper than their more expensive counterparts. That doesn't mean he is advocating us to wear it. He even says multiple times for half of these products that he wouldn't wear them due to safety issues. But hey, better to pay $150 for a deathtrap helmet than $500.
well, someone thinks it makes him look cool to call people geeks...
Yeah....all smart people are geeks
Not very nice thing to say , at least he’s doing a review for every one
Well.....he does work for Fortnine, a Canadian motorcycle retailer.... They sell this stuff. That said, he's very honest with his reviews.
"But noone's really normal anyway." :D hit the nail on the head with this one! Great reviews as always.
You acknowledge Panama!! Greetings from the Canal, keep it up!
As always great information video n with style!
Thanks for the great reviews Ryan. I'd love to see you review the Shark Spartan Carbon and its price bracket stable mates. Or even put it through the F9 crash lab!?
I love my Bell Qualifier. Happy to see it on this list, it's amazing for the money.
For me (being a “lower socioeconomic” rung kinda guy), a “Underpriced” vid is handier than even a “Value for money” vid. Thanks Ryan. Thanks F9 for letting the dude rip!
I always assumed your logo was a patch of cool tire tread, I just realized it says f9😂😂
Oh snap you're right😂😂
are you blind?
I thought it was a fox 🦊 head
@@KyletheDonut Yes. So I can’t read your dickish comment either
I don't know why but it always looked like a book
Pretty great gears!! Thanks again and again.
Talk about the LS2 Pioneer! It was cheaper when it first came out, but it's still a crazy low $160 or so. It's loud, it's a little cheap in some areas, and it's probably not the most protective thing in the world, but you get drop down sun visor, fog resistant lens, LOTS of ventilation, actually really good highway aerodynamics, VERY LIGHT, goggle compatible with the visor down, comfortable to wear glasses with, quick release strap, removable liner, a large peak that really cuts out the sun, ridiculously awesome styling, and the head shape is actually more intermediate oval rather than long oval like they advertise. Only things that could really make it realistically better would be a chin skirt, detents for the visor, and better communications cut-outs.
It hasn't been revised in 2017 as far as I know, but the Scorpion VX-15 Evo Air is an excellent choice for off road use. I've gotten my hands on a 2013 model, which has quite a special paint job that was made especially for Honda/Husqvarna paint schemes.
It weighs around 1350g, has excellent venting, but stays surprisingly quiet, even when used on open roads. Reasonable design choices were made to allow for great functionality, such as the Air Pump system, which reduces noise and makes the helmet more snug and thus more safe.
I paid 130€ for it and ordered a pair of 100% Racecraft Extra goggles with it, which cost 70€ extra. Couldn't be more happy to have spent some extra time on research :)
Great video, though. Just as always, Ryan!
Much love from Germany
These videos are so well made it’s ridiculous
Love your vids Ryan. Just got the HJC DS-X1 lid for $150. Thanks.
next video top underprised bikes please
Simao W This is clearly not this channel's type of content
Why not? Maybe overpriced would be a sensitive matter, buy under? Not really see a reason why not to do one. I'm sure it's complicated and expensive, but many people, including myself would love to se a video like this
Simao W ktm duke 125 is cheap in norway. Only $7000
Simao W 1. gsxr1000 (cost almost $1500 less than it's competition, but has an tilt imu unlike the new cbr1000rr, quick shifter up and down, gyro abs, launch control, and it's the first litre bike on the market that has vvt basically the vtec of a honda low rpms it makes alot of mid range but the cross pver allows it to have alot of top end too!)
2. Yamaha r3 (got everything the ninja 300 and cbr500r offer but more torque and features like gear indicator, off set pistons to rev faster and lighter than the ninja by 15lbs or more I forgot.)
3. kawasaki versys x 300
(is the cheapest adventure bike on the market that has decent off road capabilities and has a bunch of accessories like fog lights, 12v charger, gear indicators and more but will all the parts will still cost less than the versys 650, bmw f300gs and vstrom 650)
wtf here is 5000
Are Flip Up helmet like this LS2 are safe enough as compared to full face helmet?
And the quick release mechanism as compared to D ring???
LS2 helmets are really good value. I've been using 1 for the past 4 years. There is an issue with fogging but opening the visor a little fixes it. I am even considering to upgrade to a better helmet from LS2 again.
Hey man, been watching your channel and you have some great content. I recently bought an LS2 helmet (forgot the model). What do you think about LS2 helmets? (I know they're not the best in the business but they're among the good ones available here)
Hey Ryan, thnx!!! I just bought the LS2
Finally a new video!
I love the Scorpion exo ct-220 so much I bought another, and I own some high end helmets. It is my first 3/4 helmet, and they are so much more comfortable on a hot day than a full face or modular.
You sold me on the DS-X1, picked one up yesterday. It really is a damn good helmet.
That Strobe is the best deal I've ever gotten on motorcycle gear. It does get a bit warm though, but that might be because I live in the tropics where we hit upwards of 30deg C (about 90 F) all year round.
Got a question, got a helmet that fits perfectly fine but every time I put it on, left ear folds and it’s annoying. Is the helmet too small? Thanks
Bought my LS2 just a few days ago for 148 with free shipping. I love it so far. Has some mild wind noise on the left side but way less then my last helmet. It also comes with 4 reflective stickers to put on it you want them ( light silver).
Where are the destructive gear videos?
Great presentation and informative...
Covert helmet on the V-Rod.. Priceless
You have the complementary shirt to my friends pants!
We affectionately call him...Salmon Pants
Lmao this dude is great. Hes like a cross between tosh2.0 an Anthony from revzilla. Subscribed!
I have a LS2 from FortNine as my first helmet, it does fog up, a lot! And it feels weird on my head, but it works
Nice content bro, thank you 👍
HJC DS-X1, I'm happy to have the one you used in the video, as long as it's an XL and you ship it for free... with a $50 voucher... thanks 🤙🏼
I stumbled upon the HJC CL-Max 2 for about U.S. $140 at my local bike shop and it's now my main helmet for long rides.
Do you mind to do a review of the CRG helmets?
Would having a transitions shield be smart to have if you are usually riding on forests roads surrounded by redwoods? I feel like all the different lighting that would be on the road will be dangerous with the Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS
could you do an underpriced fullface helmet video, like the bell qualifier dlx mids (or what its called)
Refreshing compared to the Revzilla noise. Presenter reminds me of a younger version of James May. Same undercooled ironic impression. Keep it going boys!
Just bought a Strobe modular! Good to know I got a killer deal
Is there a comparison somewhere of the Bell Qualifier and the Qualifier DLX/DLX MIPS?
You are indeed a dorky looking dude - with or without the funny dress up, but you make thoroughly researched, really well thought out and informative reviews. Thanks bro. Much better than that motormouth guy with all his fivewordsinone drivel.
Did you review the AGV Rossi 2012 Winter Test? I'm struggling to find one via my phone.
The look on his face in the thumbnail priceless!!
I've got the exact Bell helmet. I like it a lot. Bought it for about $207 on sale.
Can you do a video on helmets for big heads?? my helmet is a 4xl and is a full face, it does not fit me anymore and need a new helmet
This video is almost 2 years old, but i'm hoping you will still see the comment. How do you compare the HJC DS-X1 and the Bell MX9 adventure? I can't decide between the 2 because they are very similar in price. A store owner told me he prefers the HJC for comfort and construction. It also has speaker cut outs which I like for my blu tooth. The MX9 is widely recommended and has an ECE safety that the HJC doesn't.
It’s hard to find the senna system to fit the qualifier dlx
2019 now qualifier dlx currently 200 without mips and 250 with brand new revzilla.
Love the scorpion helmet very comfy
Why not Scorpion R-2000? You can find them for sub-$250.. That's a Snell-2010 rated helmet with two visors stock... same helmet used by dudes in motoGP... for under $300
Ry, can you review LS2 FF390 Breaker helmet? Thanks
Every non full face helmet is over priced.
well I wouldnt say that, you can buy a 5 gallon bucket for like $3.
I wear modulars, but a full face never again.Want to say something to your buddy at a red light, forget about it, unless you both have communication systems. Want to grab a snack, or something to drink while filling up at the gas station, which requires you to also go in and talk to the attendant, all require removal of a full face. I generally never take my helmet off unless I'm stopping for a meal, break, etc. And having recently tried a 3/4 helmet, they are much cooler and more comfortable when it's hot out, and their peripheral vision is better.
Dan Hammack yeah plus your face will love you for the pavement you shove it into when you go down
QDADDY6 , Motorcycles aren't safe, want to be safe, don't ride. Every motorcyclist accepts the danger of riding and must decide for himself what level of risks he finds acceptable.
Dan Hammack thank you captain obvious.
If I have a small head and I don’t want to look like a bobble head, I need the most low profile helmet I can get. Do you know what the smallest helmet is for its head sizes ? Something not so wide ear to ear, etc
I am looking for one like the Airoh Twist but without the chin so far away, something that goggles would shield the opening.
Would love to see the Qualifier chin curtain stocked on FortNine. The base Qualifier is already a fantastic helmet (especially for the price), but as you mention, without the curtain it is noisy. I definitely wouldn't mind shelling out $20 to fix that issue.
as much as I like the value option bell provides, every single one in my store always gets this odd schmoo on the inside of the visor, be it mx-9 adventure, qualifier, even the stars we just got in all get a mist on the inside of the visor. I also can't seem to figure out just why they didn't make the qualifier accept any other systems than smh10's and q3's
So Which is the best of them
How does the HJC DS-X1 compare to the Bell MX-9(Adventure)?
I'm looking for decent underpriced helmet for secondary riding, Is it LS2 FF324 metro comes out better than this LS2 FF325?
Unrelated to this but... how about an overview of existing cruise controls/throttle locks?
The LS2 is a great helmet, if not lacking better ventilation. Almost going on two years with mine now with no issues. The do sell a pinlock specifically for this by all reports works well.. I just picked one up but have not installed it yet.
Are there any reviews planned for any of the T.O.R.C brand of helmets? Models like the T14b, one of which I own, seem pretty reasonably priced and feature packed. They also carry DOT and ECE ratings.
Difference between bell dlx and the mips version is that piece of plastic, and that special visor. U could buy one mips, and when it's time for a new one just get the normal one and transfer the mips mechanism.+u get 2 visors with the normal one.
Could you please review the spirit DSV3 Fluo/black
Dorky Dwight ,well played :)
which one is better for wind noise closed the Torc T27B or the LS2 Strobe?
Hi, I live in Canada and we have a lot of bugs, I mean, a lots! I am wondering if there is a way to keep them out of my fullface especially wasps!!!! Do you have any recomandations ? Because I am seriously consirering not wear a fullface anymore but I feel secure with a fullface, I ride mosly offroads. Thank you!
anything like this with ear openings to hear better?
I used to have that shield transition on my glasses. It’s called photon chromatic in Spain. I never bothered buying it again because it’s more expensive than buying a pair of polarized sun glasses. I guess on a bike it would be useful for in the city, in the summer, if your wearing a closed full face helmet, that is.
How come fortnine is literally always out of stock for pillow top mx grips?
Can someone explain what the beak is for on adventure helmet
Great video! HJC17 is the prob the best underpriced! 150$ for a DOT/Snell rated proven helmet! But i like your list
Should have added ls2 mx 456 :D nice video
Strobe costs about £65 in the UK. Great helmet aside from the addressed issues, plus it's super loud.
Does you do rotation with an overboard ?
These helmets are cool and nice! I like them.
Are Sharks helmets not widely available in North America? They're reputable (many professional riders sport them) and value for money is out there. Just picked up a kevlar and carbon fiber Spartan ff helmet (features sun visor, removable lining, chin curtain, included pinlock, space for glasses and comm system, relatively quiet on the highway, etc) for 450€. And this thing ONLY weighs 1290g in M size.
In Australia we have a rating system from the Australian gov't. Independently tested helmets. Sharks are always high on the list. We also need an AS/NZS 1698 standard to be legally riding. Crash.org.au
Excellent reviews, thank you.....From Dark Knight to Dorky Dwight, ahahahaha!
The qualifier mips is now 270
I would really like you to test the 2017 Nexx XT1 :)
What about the roof desmo. didn't see any review about any roof helmets here
finally,.,., make a video with best protection features and low cost basis
How's the HJC noise wise? Currently have a qualifier and looking for an adv lid that's at least mildly quieter
Aaron Holm I have the HJC helmet shown in this video and it's a little bit louder than my previous helmet but I love it. Amazing helmet for the price.
What helmet did you have before, Rocket?
Agree 💯 I have the Rally Graphic
Hi Ryan, can you review the Scorpion Exo AT 950. PLSSSSSSS
I wanted to get a voss helmet would you say their any good?
What about the Scorpion EXO-R710? I bought it after seeing the review here and love it, incredible good for use it with glasses, and only payed around $100 USD.
Will you do a review of the Vozz unhinged?
is there a fake or knock off version of the bell dlx flex star? I want to order one on amzon I'm scared of a fake.
1:40 I love seeing him fight his eyes to stay looking straight
I'm from the UK and looking at moving to Canada. please do a video on Canadian motorcycling laws and what's different riding there vs the UK!!
love the videos!
Matt G in canada....its ok to intentionally run over kids..
