Any thoughts on convertible helmets? As in full-to-half? Are they the usual don't do either well? Example: ScorpionEXO EXO Covert Helmet
If Ryan didn't look like his mom did drugs when she was pregnant bet you anything he'd have 10xs the views. Sad we live in a world where looks matter
The United States would detonate Canada
Ryan, do you have an email... and you do you personal consultations? I'm trying to pick a helmet, and kinda stuck. Some help would be apreciated. And i'm canadian... if that helps vasilli@hotmail.com
Ok. I’m comin to you big guy! Just bought a Yamaha Tenre and need a helmet
Also thermoplastic will melt if it gets hot.
You should get your hands on a 6D!
You do the splendid with this face?
Could definitely see that rachet strap ripping out a few of my beard hairs every 5th time I put it on.
how does the scorpion go up against the rpha 70st?
I love the ratchet strap on my helmet. Although I don't have a double chin so maybe that's why.
He should review popular helmets in india MT, Axor, Ls2, etc. Maybe Studds also. It will be interesting.
.....Their usual graphic designer ... - Satan...... *lol*
Can you please make a review of alternative helmets like Scorpion Covert-x with removable chin bars? Big fan of your vids! :)
Helmets: costing upwards of $400 dollars Walmart: “come to me, my dear. Come to me”
I'd love to see a review of the Ruroc Atlas2.
Hi Ryan. Can you compare Klim Krios Pro and Arai XD-4 ?
I have to agree with your comments on the Shoei GT Air II. When my partner and I need to replace our aging GT Airs we both looked at the all new GT Air 2. I managed to talk her out of it for the same reasons you mention here. Old discounted stock of the GT Airs we had come to love were still available, albeit in less fancy colour schemes or choices the new range has. And I'll keep my double D rings thanks 👍
My AGV K=1 is three months old, and I have fallen out with big time. Bye bye AGV, either my K3-SV comes out of retirement or a new HJC replaces it.
2020? I recently realized my modular is making go deaf unless I use my wireless earbuds.
Please do a review of Ruroc Altas 2.0 or you didn't find it worthy, that's why you haven't done it yet 🤔
I'll be sure to always have a spare baby kitten on me (thermoplastic user)
I don't like the concept of 'a helmet makes you invincible'. A helmet can be helpful in preventing abrasive injuries in a slide or from minor bumps or hitting jagged objects however they do not actually stop your brain from decelerating. They prevent skull fractures which can cause intrusion into the brain but with an impact that high of energy would probably kill you anyway. Its pretty much a false sense of security.
... Satan. hahahahh
All great helmets. I just picked up an ST1400, and absolutely love it. It's an unbelievably good helmet. I rock an Eliminator when I want to look like a badass, and my wife loves her Airform.
Fortnite
the orange venting one was DOT approved atleast XD. dont think id use that
seems like im gona buy the nolan n70-2 soon :D my old helmet really needs a change after 7 years
U doing like a mr.bean
WTH, there is just never ONE ADV helmet that gets it ALL right... had no use for a removable chin bar. But then the review of the N70 seemed REALLY good. Changed my mind and was gonna order it... till the end when you find out how heavy it is and only 2 shell sizes... Beaver Dam...
I bought the gt air II because I'm a new rider and I wanted something good, now a year later I feel like an idiot.
the satan joke got me
5:02 "woooooow" Owen Wilson?
My double chin and I love my ratchet strap
This video inspired me to replace my EXO-1100 with an ST1400. So the marketing definitely worked.
Uhhhh, double Ds, you said double Ds....
It's funny but the inside switch for the air vents is super retro to the old bell helmets
I hate my gt air, the gt air 2 seems even worse. My gt air leaks rain onto my face and is a visibility hazard in the dark that becomes really dangerous in the dark and wet. I'll never buy another shoei
I can skip all those - the Arai Signet X is the only lid that fits my long-oval head.
Moved from Cardo to Sena within Schuberth helmet ... Honestly apart from battery (much better within Sena/Schuberth system) I can see no differrence for my riding: Smaller groups (up-to 4), usually two max three motorbikes. Every device can be paired with every device if pairing it correctly within seconds (Sena+Cardo)... No big deal I would say with intercoms anymore. Sure agree that this statement is valid only to my style of riding (+two brands) and might be completely wrong for others...
People can say what they want about icons paint jobs but i think they look badass, my favorite is the parahuman airform (also the sacrosanct)
Don't forget about the airmada 😂
How is the sizing of the Scorpion EXO-ST1400?
Reminds me of the Reebok Pump shoes of the 90s.
I just ordered the Shoei gt air 2 deviation helmet because it’s a good looking helmet, but after having watched this video about it...I don’t want it any more. ☹️
what head shape is the scoprion 1400 air?
Icon Airform ... or ... HJC i70.....
Researched helmets for nearly a year. Went with the exo because of this. I love your videos
This guy is funny
TIL: I bought a Super Sport helmet for riding exclusively on large cruiser/touring bikes.
what's the point in almost any of them if helmet sizes never go above XXL. For us, people with big and clever heads of 3-4XL the helmet world is a tiny and miserable place... Love your vids however, refreshing and light like a glass of pimm's on a hot, summer afternoon.
Bell Eliminator for the WIN! Extremely lightweight and durable helmet........very comfortable too.
Wait, there are riders who prefer slow, unwieldy, inconvenient , can't-use em-with gloves D-rings over a speed ratchet strap? Well that's insane.
I miss all of your best video's, best jackets, best helmet, best gloves. I am looking to buy a bike and get back into biking. A 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 sx, probably.
Hail Satan!
I really need my dude to review the ruroc atlas 2.0 so i know if it's good to buy or not
Spent CoronaVirus Prison binge watching your content. AwesomeSauce brother! New Sub!
I wish scorpion painted their S logo instead of a pressed on emblem. My first scorpion evo from 2007 lost that emblem and rear vent spoiler with a little bump. It fell from my couch onto carpet flooring. So, yes. Change that scorpion asap.
4:36, icon and their graphic designer satan 🤣
Which one was #1?
Time for a 2020 version of this video. 👍
Ryan , thanks for your review of the Scorpion EXO 1400 Air Carbon .. just got mine today .. Paulo
Legitimately the best gear reviewer!
What are your thoughts about AGV K6?
Why is Thermoplast being hated against?
Arai, or did I just watch a cut version?
Hi Ryan Can you please tell me which is better as sport touring helmet: AGV K6 or Scorpion EXO 1400 ??? Price isn't an issue between them as the agv is only £55 more
@fortnine Ryan, how is the Eliminator at hwy speeds aerodynamically? I previously had a Bell Revolver Evo and it caught wind like a sailboat. I'd be using on a naked sportbike. Thanks for your videos!
What about helmet with built-in LEDs?
Ryan can we get a new safest helmet video? Can you talk about FIM also? FIM vs Snell? When is the new Snell regulation helmets coming?
Hey Ryan kordoroyd didn’t actually come from the bicycle industry. Yes it is used in many bike helmets. But it actually came from the refrigerator industry. The bike industry was the first to use it in helmets.
Woah. $600? That's more than my bike bro. No way 😂
I had no idea my K1 had a chin vent...

Hoping you test the ruroc atlas 2.0
Don't you DARE talk crap about our lord and savour, VALENTINO ROSSI! No jk, loved the review and witty remarks.
Woooow
Funny thing with that Scorpion. I have a helmet by Shark, and that helmet also have a similar air fill system. It's around 4 years old. So 3 years old, when this video was uploaded
Enjoy watching your highly informative and sometimes funny videos;) Your alright for a Canuck!
Is exo r1 air better
"...their usual graphics designer..." Aside from hilarious... You may have no clue how right you are. (But perhaps the manufacturer is, eh?) "Con" is the actual old and also Hebrew pronunciation of of "Cain" ("Cah-in") Long story shortened... We speak "Phonetically" because we speak "Phoenician-ly'.. and where we get our alphabet, as well. They worshipped Saturn. Con is Chiun is Khan is Kaiwan (and others). All are equated with Saturn... Which is Satarn (also Satyr)... Which was bastardized into.. you guessed it... Satan So... (Eye)Con IS Satan Food for thought, eh? I put the "eh" in there 'cause you're in Canadia ;-)
Can we expect a best helmets of 2020 video soon? The Scorpion EXO-ST1400 is probably still a good choice, but maybe there's a follow up version coming?
Vozz Helmets www.vozzhelmets.com/the-helmet.html
I'd like to know what you think of the Australian helmet the Vozz strapless helmet. I think it looks pretty sweet and I dislike the chin strap. So far I haven't been able to find a USA dealer to try it out.
Great video as usual. Can you do a test of some budget helmets, including the LS2 Verso? Also I'd love to see you do a review of different led lighting and reflective products that increase visibility/safety. Thanks
You forgot the Airmada. lol
hi ı Ryan subscribed you. Carry on. I have question to you. I wanna buy scorpion exo-490 helmet with polycarbonate shell. do you think does it have enough protection for 300 cc bike. ı will be glad if you respond
We getting a 2020 version of this test? :D
does any helmet have a visor grip on brake side or is it just clutch side BS...do these designers know how a motorcycle works?
2020 best helmet guide? Please? From 200 to 700+ USD range?
sooo which to buy?
I love this channel so much.
coool stuff
4:33 haahahaah
Dude your awesome
Not even in the market for a helmet, but still intently watched the entire video lmao. I just love your content
what do you think of the Scorpion EXO-ST1400 Carbon Helmet in 2020? Thinking about buying it but the price hasn't dropped and all and I am not sure if I should be looking at other 2020 helmets instead
Hey Ryan F9, I would like to hear your kind of comparison on the Sena Momentum Series Helmets !! They look like the best of rider to rider to smart phone and video helmet communication ... Thanks
You’re a great presenter and you put out quality videos. I really liked this one and not just because I’m shopping for a helmet. Can you give me your opinion of the Scorpion exo 1400 that you reviewed against the original Shoei GT Air? They seem to be around the same price now, assuming I can find my size. Looking to replace my old RF - 1000. Thanks.
Has FortNine done a review on the Torc t14? I've recently gone from a Vespa [for my first 6 months of riding] to a full Honda 700CC. The Torc T14 seemed good for 35MPH-ish city driving, but I'm wondering how it fares for actual freeway commutes. It is DOT and ECE; obviously not Snell because of the slide down sun visor. Any comments or advice greatly appreciated. Thank you
