Love how you didn’t shy away from the elephant in the room and can still have fun with controversy. Leaving the viewer to make their own decisions.
I like to think that the only time Ryan is on the internet is when he's working on a video. Kind of like how the mechanics are clones, except, instead of being a clone, he only exists on the internet for videos, and outside of that, there's no proof of his existence. He just goes to his home dimension and does other dimensional things
From his measurements, he sounds like he’s hung like the elephant in the room
What do you think the 9, in F9 stands for?🍆@@ChrisZBr0wn
@@ChrisZBr0wn😂
whats the controversy?
Ryan’s body part measurements are quite impressive…and about as consistent and meaningful as the gear ratings he attempts to demystify.
I think he's been seeing Trump's doctor. Accuracy seems similar.
I can vouch for Ryan...he wears a large.
What's all the blabla about his size, I don't get it
His chest was rapidly expanding… probably with rage at the fact that he’d had to memorize all that alphanumeric soup.
@@estebanod he's taking the p1 ss
I love how the video perfectly balances a gear review with shit-talking about the standards the gear is built to.
"The armor can still be removed...not that I'd ever do that" 😂
Ryan went to the ignore-everything school of PR management lol. UA-cam rage is fleeting and best snuffed out by just not addressing it. Apology/ recognition videos are your own petard.
Me: "Well, it's a rainy day I guess I'll watch some fortnine, at least theres a new video."
Ryan: "stop watching and go ride."
😂😂
I like to think that this is his response to others being "patronising" and accusing him of telling others what to do - so here he is telling you what to do!.
X2 jajaja 😂
This was the only Squarespace ad I actually watched.
I skipped it.
Always skip
Was actually informative and didn't feel like an add plus pissing on Ursla is never bad as a European
In this economy, you need a website hosting service to sponsor the retailer's product video.
People, remember the Darmstadt machine only tests abrasion on a "calibrated concrete block" that is smoother than most asphalt or chip+seal surfaces, with a (IIRC) 4cm drop. While the RPM might "math-out" to 45/70/120kph, Darmstadt and EN17092 does not make for a good abrasion testing standard. EN13595 (Cambridge), the older standard, was lobbied away/discontinued (depending on who you ask) because it was too tough to pass, and it replicated asphalt better, with 60 grit sandpaper. A simple look at Australian govt's MotoCAP testing (again, Cambridge) shows many AA/AAA fabrics having abysmal abrasion resistance, mainly textiles.
This also doesn't cover the fall + slide mechanics of motorcycle crashes. Many low-tenacity textiles burst or rip open from the initial impact, exposing the meat underneath. No standard has included drop + abrasion (yet), but Darmstadt CANNOT test for it, while Cambridge can.
In short: Ryan, saying AA/AAA equals a "rolling speed" is, IMO, a sign you should read up on those standards (and the associated physics) more. For all others, keep in mind your moto clothing is a very good step in the right direction for protection, but bringing EN13595 back is the best way we could get ratings that actually show how protective our gear is against sliding, instead of the current "smoke and mirrors" 17092.
I tend to agree with your comments - sadly the standards are never going back to EN13595 any time soon ( it suits way too many manufacturers to leave alone ) keep in mind that it was a voluntary standard at first the complaints came when it was made mandatory, which generally means easement. Australia bought into the EN13595 standard that existed at that time 2012??? if they had waited they might be saddled with EN17092 as well - but change costs. It is good to have the comparison. The UK government has an ideal opportunity to alter/ revise the standard in the UK - they won`t it costs to much and requires a will that is lacking at the moment. 1984 - 2024 40 years have passed and we appear to be going backwards for the next generation of motorcyclists protection!!!!
@@pamvarnsverry2444 not even just motorcyclists either. More and more lobbying, less and less standards, worse and worse products, more and more profit. Decades to centuries of innovation all lost to greed.
@@OnlyForThePriceOf999 The wicked have had their day ~Psalm 92;7 Ain't no joke, as God's Son is back yo!
@@rosskstar uhhh.. what?
@@OnlyForThePriceOf999 the tories brexited so we could have different standards to the EU and have proven they weren't looking to get higher standards. We have already lost some worker protections and some environmental protections. We are currently plummeting in standard.
Sweet. Now when I get a Trail 125 I'll be safe and ready for Dakar.
Part of F9’s script writing team found lurking in the comments section…cool
😂 the slowest Dakar ever! But you would 100% finish the race!
you need a air vest for Dakar 😢
Wtf, they sell THIS for 4.5 thousand dollars????
You'll definitely have a fanclub when you finally finish, not to mention DNFs would mean you aren't in last place, lol.
I love your war on motorcycle safety regulations. I wonder what a video on arais passion of safety would be like on your channel. I love that youre big enough in this community to be effecting change. And i love the levelcof production you give, keep it up man, as a proud Canadian, you are the voice of my generation.
I am also loving how he is highlighting the flaws in regulatinonsand maybe standards will increase if enough people complain about it
And he is also educating millions about regulations standards and meaning
@@Arihantplaying Regulations are a terrible measure of innovation. You see it in many fields. Most regulations are written in blood, meaning after something occurs. What we need is an active community worth investing into. The problem is the industry is dying for the most part. It's incredibly niche for most people including the US. Let alone optional accessories (not my opinion) as an industry.
That advert was insane 🤷♂️😁
Sorry my Sponsorblock was on, thanks to the community for marking it
sorry what ad? all i saw was a green bar that got skipped over
The best adventure gear for 2024 is whatever you’re wearing*
*as long as your wearing SOME GEAR. Don’t die out there
@@adamgreenhaus4691 I'm wearing jorts.
So Squarespace is about building websites. That's the FIRST Squarespace ad I've seen that involved building a website. And that's why usually block ads.
I love this continuing trend of calling manufacturers out on their minimum standard games. Ryan and team F9 out here doing the lords work.
Yesterday I fell from my motorcycle due to oil in the road. I hit the elbow and hip and I'm glad I was wearing the CE 2 pads.
That's rough, hope your bike is okay too! There's always stuff like that all over the road where I live I'm scared to ride anything other than dual sports
I will probably never own a motorcycle, and yet I watch every F9 video the day it comes out. These videos check all my boxes: irreverent, funny, excellent videography, graphs, penis jokes…just absolute perfection on UA-cam.
Yeah, I was the same, and now I got 2 bikes in my garage.
Never say never!
If you want to join the club but don't want to ride, buy broken bikes; that's what I did! But then I started fixing them and now I ride so maybe not a good plan... Just buy a newer one.
Go buy a motorcycle!
lol, bro you know you secretly want one cmon
Wow. Best squarespace ad I've ever seen
As a experienced rider but new to Adventure, i carry your advice, actual honesty is seldom herd and much appreciated.10/10
I'm still shocked how good this channel is
I expect high quality from you guys but halfway through the video I'm like... damn these guys teach me more in 11 minutes than any of my university professors do in a week
Agreed 👍
I always enjoy Ryan's sarcasm, smart-assery, and clever comments.
I ended up buying those same pants recently because of all the good info F9 has shared over the years on what to look for in clothing, CE ratings, etc. So I'm pretty stoked to see them recommended! "Teach a man to fish...". Thanks for all the good work Ryan & F9 team.
0:42 "the armor can still be removed from the outside, NOT that I would ever do that" I see what you did there Ryan hahahahahahahahaha
I didn't get IT.....can you explain
@@UnShEeP924 In previous episode Ryan told us why he removed his armor pads.
They're just not good enough for him, and more comfortable without. Naturally a lot of people disagree.
@@ZeroXSEED oh ...thanks for explaining
@@UnShEeP924watch his 1st April video
Didn’t Ryan say the pads tended to not make a difference in crashes. Therefore, the enjoyment versus safety ration justified tossing the pads.
I guess I could go back and RE-watch the video.
It's honestly astounding how you guys come out with such thorough videos so quickly
I can never unsee the pictures from your ad and I am happy about that.
I love you man you really lay everything out for us.
Thank you, just picked up an XD-4. Thks for the heads up, love a great closeout bargain.
Im glad i fell in love with motorcycles and get myself hooked up in the algorithm and found this channel. That smock is now my next birthday present. Yay.
Your content is both informative and fun. All the sentences carry a piece of information and well put. And all that is founded on your integrity.
Thanks for your content. I wish I could order to europe from your website.
Earliest I've ever been. Just bought the Revvit control gloves from yall. thanks
same
@@epicgolly418 Noice. There wasn't many reviews, but it seemed to have all the features plus the main thing being the touchscreen compatibility. Ride safe my dude.
As always sir, great video and I appreciate the information. Carry on I say!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face !
Yup, I couldn't agree more. Arai XD-4 > Arai XD-5. Totally legendary helmet in Adventure category.
Is it me or is every "new" gear iteration more money and offers less than it's predecessor?
Just picked one up. Half off. Def glad the new model came out so I could FINALLY buy the old one at a reasonable price. I still want the new version. But I am cheap.
It's a shame the XD-4 has such a terrible shield swapping process, because other than that it really is great.
@@matthew3136 Where did you buy it??
I'm on my 2nd - amazing bucket
Finally! Been waiting all day for the Saturday video lol.
Thanks, Ryan.
So agree about simplifying safety ratings.👍
02:40 love the use of the music used in the song Jorts! always a great video
XD5, another enshittification of a good product
Product design often goes 1. make it feasible. 2. make it profitable 3. make it better. 4. make it cheaper (to build). I think that's where we are now with the XD-5. ~RF9
Just like HJC going from rpha 70 and 90 to the rpha 71. Literally everything is worse.
It’s like the designers/engineers don’t even ride themselves sometimes😢
@@FortNine I think the "make it profitable" stage is getting a little too much attention. $1200 I can get an XD5 or maybe I look at something from Hedon or another local hand made helmet maker? I'm not trying to bust any ones chops; safety has a cost. Yet, if I'm paying north of 1k for a helmet then maybe I gain some safety if I go for something custom made for me. If mass produced items can no longer compete with locally made then why buy mass produced? Then, if you care about such things, the reduced waste and the reduced energy cost because now the product doesn't take 9 trips around the world to get built and to markets...
Between that and every "new" iteration of motorcycle gear costing more and offering less makes me think maybe we should start considering custom local manufacturers with small product runs?
@@HeyAddieImTojo good point, I think passion is very important. Bikes and gear use to be made by enthusiasts who loved the sport. They rode, they tested, they built... rinse and repeat. Now bikes are all built to assembly line specs to appeal to the lowest common denominator of uses (Sport, ADV, Touring, Dual Sport, Dirt). I think the same thing has happened with gear... It's like what Jeremy Clarkson said; "If you don't like cars then your not going to be good at driving.".
@@MrKingsley Probably a lot of truth in your statement!
I've been rocking an XD4 for a long time. My favorite helmet. Wear for street and MX.
Awesome Ryan!...love the pants & boots !. Thanks!
You can have an AAA trousers, jeans or whatever, but without hips protectors there have only AA compatability. So it's not only the abrasion it's also the amount of your protectors.
You Make Motorcycling Fun, Man! Thank You.
Yeah, without Ryan, motorcycling would be boring drudgery.
Love the commercial!
You actually explained/demonstrated why I should care.
Love my white XD-4. Glad i cried once and bought it. That smock is interesting I'm going to look into that. And I've been on the hunt for the perfect do all boot. I'll add those Gearnes to my research list.
Again, informative and funny. A rare combination, especially when dealing with technical data. Well done!
And this is why I love this channel.
As always, great 📹 🎉🎉🙏
this is literally the first time I sat through a squarespace payed segment in any video, I applaud your creativity.
Wow I don't think i've ever watched 11 minutes of ads before and you made it almost enjoyable
What I like is that F9 is reviewing gear and citing the CE rating for information sake.
I love these videos, I get to see the new stuff, check the prices and realise I am more broke every year and I go out and ride in my same old gear.
I instantly give a like because I know the quality of his videos are gonna be good
Love the armour callback!
Way to go . Last time was a challenge to do better and innovate padding, this weeks to be clearer and more precise understanding of what you get . Keep it up. As a new rider, and newbie to motorcycle life, it would be helpful
Loved the beginning!
Beautifully done!!! Time to ride now I suppose
the last line was pure gold, it`s exactly how i treat my riding gear ^^
IIRC, one of the criticisms of the EU rating system is that you have to declare which test you want to pass before you take it.
If you say AA and only pass A, you get nothing. If you put something that could pass AAA in for the A test, you still only get A.
So, AA doesnt mean "45 - 70," it means "we were only confident enough to pay for the 45 test."
Those boots look good. Thanks for the tip.
I have that same bike! A Yamaha Tenere 700!
Good thing you uploaded this, as I am in search of a new adventure/dual sport helmet.
Ryan my motorcycle overheated and I'm currently saving up to get another one that's why I'm watching you talk about gear I don't need okay?😢thanks for the consistent uploads, great production quality, and witty writing
Trials boots are awsome I got trials boots when I did trials and I loved the boots that much I used them for every other off road motorcycling sport like enduro and MX
1month ago i bought the gaerne pro tech boots and the arai tour x4, it wasn’t a cheap month but i’m glad you agree with the choice!
Just bought one of the last Arai XD4 helmets that rockymountainatv had in stock after watching this video. I'm glad I had the money to do it.
Could not love how honest Ryan and co. does these videos infomercials any more 😂❤
I wasn’t ready for the Brazilian music during the hoodie review but I am here for it! 😂
Watching Ryan in a FortNine production involves looking beyond the shot you see all sorts of funny gags like the kangaroo Pocket items they were very funny !
Well done as always Ryan !
Best 13 seconds of video ever!
It was 10 inches of video.
It was 10 inches of video!
Milwaukee heated jacket. My favorite gear purchase I have made.
You bet, got one for Christmas. Works great.
Not even close to being warm enough. I bought one and returned it the next day. No abrasion protection whatsoever.
Heated mid layers and you can wear whatever jacket you want.
Last time i was this early, 9 months later i had a child
Come again
@@philhunt9297Ok but gimmie about thirty minutes.
@@zacharyfett2491Needed 10 when I was 21.
Now I use a calendar.
Great info in the first 10 seconds! The same information applies to the bike. I did 3500 mile, multiple mountan passes, 60 off road miles on a burgman 400. I bought the bike site unseen to get me back home after buying a one-way flight, lol. Part of the adventure was in the fact that i didn't have the proper bike, but i can say it was damn comfortable and great fun!
I like how the XD4 is on clearance and closeout but it's still really expensive.
Really enjoyed this video and any other you make, but i gotta be honest. The motorcycle reviews is the best and most liked in my opinion.
Guys, I'm getting a entry level bike soon thats somewhat capable offroad, I'm really excited about what I can do with it, and needless to say, Ryan had a great influence on my decisions.....love the content man, much love
What bike?
I saw the motorized bike video a few years ago, and that made me build one myself. Then I bought an old 2 stroke motorcycle a few months later.
Welcome to the fold!🤝
Actually guys, a decision was made, I'm not getting the offroad capable bike (Hero Xpulse 200 4v (India)) Im getting the Yamaha R15 V4, also a 150cc entry level sports bike, but one day, surely, I want to own a offroad capable bike, Im still 20 yo btw, so, safe to say I still have a lot of time
Should be getting like a 400.
Informative, yet hilarious...
Gawd I wish my wife had those characteristics
I bought the Arai 4 (used) last year and until this video had no idea there were vents in my visor. Thanks! And also thanks for taking on the "man", hopefully getting their attention to change to common sense specifications labelling.
If I wasn't waiting for my ecu back I would have taken your advice Ryan! The friend we all need
I just got done going through what few sockets and tools Ill need for a one night moto camping trip. Keeping it minimal. I have Tusk Traverse panners with a tail bag Ill be using for everything. Packing will be interesting! Still debating on a hammock or tent for sleeping. This video was timed pretty well for me lol.
Lesgooo, new F9 video
Excellent presentation
It’s the 10" Canadian hog for me
i love the self-awareness. good job. and the recs are good as always
Nicely done
Well said opening statement.
Bro u are uploading too fast we ain't used to that
thanks
The armor removal comment sent me. Great video as always.
Comfort is pretty important. Maybe another obvious point, but if you have technically better gloves, but also have a slightly less protective comfy glove, you'll find yourself choosing the latter on the whole. Layering is great, but it can be hard to layers right to retain system comfortable e.g. your outer layer has to be big enough to enclose everything you're packing underneath, so you should generally size up there (not excessively so) and work backwards.
Yes, we made it to squarespace! Now let’s aim for Nord VPN.
I heard raycons are great and was hoping to find a way to get a discount on them
Best squarespace ad to date.
Now that’s a good gear review
Bought a svartpillen a couple weeks back. Should have done this years ago
'Convolution sucks'. Brilliant and straight to the point.
such a rare moment
If you want a bit more protection from a boot than an adventure boot, while still being fairly walkable, try the SIDI X-Power. I just bought a pair, and I love them.
Any chance we’ll see a video about the differences of heat between white vs black helmets, including the differences measured while riding? Huge debates about this subject for years now and you guys have the means and science know-how to settle the debate finally!
The Oxford machine is actually preferred because the surface type is closer to chip seal roads versus smooth concrete. Unless you’re riding in the city most of us will crash on chip seal. Not asphalt.
@@pamvarnsverry2444 yes I did mean the Cambridge test. And preferred by me at the very least.
I would love to see some cruiser oriented gear reviews.
Breaks my heart that the XD4 is being discontinued. I only discovered it less than a year ago and it's by far the best helmet I've ever owned, even on the street.
I got mine a few months ago. I'm considering buying a second one for when I need to replace this one so I don't have to worry about what my next helmet will be. I love my xd4 and it's sad that the xd5 is worse. I just dont like it especially the sun peak design.
Oh, and about abrasion resistant garments; Motoport Kevlar. Stiff when new, but worn in are great. I've gone down in the Aero Mesh II's jacket/pant combo and the Kevlar barely showed any marring at all. Only a slight scuff at the initial impact point, and no sign of the long slide I took when I went down in Italy on a tour. Unmarked, and unhurt. Yes, the armor was in place. Aero Mesh with waterproof base under is the bomb down to temperatures I would switch to ski gear and go skiing.
The vents on the face shield are not for clearing fog from the face shield. If you open the face shield, you'll see small ducts behind where these vents sit. To my knowledge, those vents are guided toward your temples since there are a lot of veins close to the skin there, which enhances the body-cooling effect of the ventilation. This was implemented on Arai helmets to avoid drilling holes in the forehead of the helmet for ventilation, because the forehead is a high risk impact area and holes in the shell at the forehead reduce safety.
yeap ! im also at searching for gear !
My Tenere 700 told me to do it !
I like the look/style of NBT clothing - they've got hoodies and flannels with armor pockets, jeans that look reasonably stylish (more modern than my taste), but in general, add gloves (which they sell), boots (which they don't) and a helmet, and you're ready to go. It's certainly not cheap...but, reasonable compared to the big name brands.
Nice, words to live by,( what till the end for that phrase)
Great reviews! I own the Arai XD4. It is as you say My favorite helmet and I've owned everything from DOT cheapo's (Thanks Mitch Boehm and Dexter Ford...still an impactful article that cost Ford his job) to the most expensive Schubert. What I've learned about boots is that if they are comfortable, they will break your tib/fib if your ankle joint gets rolled in a crash...which happened to me wearing Aerostitch Combat Lite (made by Sidi) which look and feel a lot like Gaerne's shown. I think I will try the Blackwater. No matter which brand I buy, currently in a Klim Badlands, I feel the nippy wind on my nips.
