My fanttik x8 arrived yesterday, but it's inaccurate, at least compared with other tire gauges. I set it to 32 psi, and it stops airing up which is good, exactly what it's supposed to do. However, when I check the pressure with three other pressure gauges, they all reflect 34.5 psi, for a difference of 2.5 psi. I aired it back down and then back up, and was able to replicate the same outcome. It is an awesome litte gadget for the price, but it should at least be accurate. Nothing against Yammie and his channel. Perhaps I got a dud and it's just a one-off occurrence.
@@joemann7971 Yeah I think covers is the way to go. Looking for used bikes, and of course there was a listing for a hyabusa with a dude wearing a Panda head cover on his helmet... I mean I guess, its like a sweater for your helmet that makes it look like a teddy bear, probably not the worst helmet attachment if you just desperately need something fun to wear and if its between a panda cover vs no helmet, well I'm going to suggest the panda!
A HJC motorcross helmet would be better than this. 159.00 buck's is what I paid for a HJC once. And I hit the ground three or four times before I replaced it.
Scorpion EXO-R420, probably one of the best deals sub $200 and even SNELL rated. Solid helmet and sold a lot of them during my days selling motorcycle gear. Not everyone can afford a $500 Shoei but that doesn't mean you can't get good gear on a budget.
@@ReLCorsa my everyday helmet is the scorpion exo r420 and i like it a lot. Wind noise is fine and it’s comfortable for sure. I haven’t crashed but I’d imagine it is pretty safe
I don't know why I laughed so much at your comment. (But I have done the 'purge' several times where I throw out 5-10 helmets at a time and I wonder if someone would actually snag them up?)
Something that EVERY rider should know is that DOT certification doesn't mean a single thing for safety. First off the specs to hit for DOT certification is laughably poor. It's based on very outdated information. Secondly it's a SELF CERTIFIED system, meaning the manafacturer tests it, or gets it tested by a non government 3rd party, they say it passed and that's it. The government doesn't issue the certification, and when tested many many "DOT certified" helmets fail the test. Fortnine has a great video about how garbage DOT is. If you care about safety, do your research
Worse is that their passing rating is still an impact that would be lethal. Don't worry though, big daddy government is totally there for your best interests...
I mean when crappy little kids bicycle helmets can get DOT you should know that a "motorcycle" helmet that carries the same level of safety shouldn't really be trusted lol
I'll guarantee the helmet in this video was tested by no one. They just slipped a fake sticker on it and sent it out. I believe the trusted brands make dot helmets that would exceed dot requirements. Maybe not good enough for other certs but definitely better than dot. Like hjc for instance. My i90 is dot only but I'm pretty sure its because of the modular design. The i10 is a non modular in a similar price point and is Snell and ece I believe.
Agree 100%. That helmet will make you need a helmet because it as more likely going to get you in and accident. At least no helmet you have optimal visiablity.

It was when I saw that novelty helmet had screws in it, I knew it was a piece of garbage. Pointed metal objects that drill into the structure that is supposed to protect my head and angled to be punched into my skull in a crash gets a huge "nope" from me. A couple of years ago here in the UK a series of Chinese helmets were banned from sale because they were not safe and yet apparently still had a DOT certificate, which makes me wonder what the requirements for a DOT certificate are!
Maybe we should just let folks make up their own minds to buy the crap they want. It's not like people never buy high quality gear and some never buy any protective gear at all. I think we should let riders be as safe or as careless they dare. An 18yo with momma's cosign can get a 170hp cruise missile and ride it in shorts and flip-flops but momma's okay with it as long as junior wears his helmet. Just sayin'...
You can guess...a generic DOT bargain bucket helmet with a cheap nasty plastic paper thin shell over it. The thing I would worry about would be the dreadlocks snagging on something while sliding in a crash....I will pass on the broken neck.
I doubt there'd be anything to see. They can see and feel everything that's there without cutting into it. As for Cats Slave's thoughts on the dreadlocks causing a broken neck, I doubt any of that shell is strong enough for that. One way in which its shittiness might actually save your life.

It's not so much DOT that should be doing something as it is the Dept of Justice or whoever deals with such obvious examples of consumer fraud. As I watched this video, the recurring thought was: Amazon is complicit in a criminal act every time it sells one of these helmets.

Make a video about how to avoid dangerous scenarios on bikes like tank slappers if they catch u off guard or ur bike just starts to accelerate or ur brakes fail what should one do. Ive heard when people get into accidents they grab onto the bike which leads to further injury the better thing to do is to let go and save urself. If ur bike doesnt have abs practice locking up ur wheels on staright road and start taping the brakes as abs does just to get the feel of how to handle the situation
@@brodycaruso5394 Usually I modulate the brakes to find the limit feathering them the first time getting used to them (just like feathering and blipping the throttle for maximum control drifting cars). Pumping is more of a thing when you get air bubbles or running out of break fluid (very very common for older vehicles). But I think hydraulic brakes will 99% fail open instead of closed so its rare. I'm not sure how common that is to have them fail locking the wheels.
I was driving my car and saw rider with monster face shield on his helmet. It really stood out and I considered that it helped me notice him. This is a safety factor worth considering.
The predator helmet Sent a bolt of fear through me at first glance. I wish I could say it was from the hellish Visage, but....no it was just fear for your life.
HJC is the largest manufacturer of helmets. Because of that fact they can offer more premium options at a lower price point. A $200 HJC helmet is way nicer than this Mickey Mouse helmet.
I have that exact 1200 and I think its a great one. My confidence as a rider went up 10 fold as compared to the introduction helmet you had in the show. I would NEVER wear something meant for a costume.
I always play it safe with helmets, I'm positively dashing and i want to keep it that way thank you. So I spent about £120 on a shark branded helmet that was absolutely plastered in safety stickers and awards. Its completely boring, plain black and round; but when i came off at 70mph, i just got back up with a fresh and enormous scratch on my helmet, nothing more. Well to me at least, the bike was in the shop for a few days. :(
12 years ago when I used to ride I had 3 helmets. An Arai, a Shoei, and a AGV. The cheapest of the 3, Arai, was $600. And it was pretty average compared to my Shoei and AGV. Now keep in mind this was TWELVE years ago... It's 2022 and you bought a helmet on Amazon for 200 dollars. So I gotta ask you. WHAT. THE. FCUK. DID. YOU. EXPECT. Content like this literally kills my brain cells man. God Bless you may the lord save your souls one day.
True, but it seems to me like the one possibly useful feature on this helmet - could be useful for night riding, say if you need to adjust your gear or something, or inspect your motorcycle. Makes you a tiny bit more visible as well. I've thought of how a light would be a nice feature on my helmet (plus a red light at the back) but haven't seen a good (and safe) way of doing that.
@@trevor2830 but it’s not like the DOT is hunting down companies for using false DOT stickers so it makes it a moot point of contention. It’d be like if the ATF ‘approved’ a handgun right down despite their actions clearly displaying a desire to ban most if not all firearms indiscriminately. If you aren’t willing to defend what your supposedly standing for it leaves you looking stupid when you talk about it.
I do not mean this as a flex by any means, but I currently run a Shoei X14. Never have I had a better helmet on my head. The venting, fitment, field of view is excellent! It makes no noise and you can turn your head 45° on the freeway and it still won't try to break your neck. Lightweight, beautiful style, and visor choices for days. All of that being said, I have lost many friends to cheap/no gear, and I personally cannot express how much helmets like these (predator) absolutely sicken me. Take hard earned money away from people who do not know any better, only to give them something somehow less safe than no helmet. I truly find it deplorable that "safety" items like these exist. Thank you guys for making this video, and I hope that it will be seen by the right people before it is too late.
That ad you guys did was so bad it was good👍😂 The anxiety I was experiencing while Spite was on his ride with that skull cracker, melon destroyer, brain-no-more ok ok I’m not funny, but that helmet sure is buddump🥁buddump🥁.. sorry😏
dude i made the jump from a cheap 60$ ILM helmet from amazon to AGV K1 and the difference is astronomical. $300~ usd is completely worth it! Sure, i lost out on the intergrated visor and modular opening on the K1; but the airflow, the pin lock, and the ECE certification are worth it. Also the K1 is much lighter on my head and the fit is firm.
It would definitely be better if you took off the plastic façade and just ran it as a half helmet but even still, that's probably lesser than one of the $80 Walmart helmets.
"Time for me to replace this helmet" EPS foam doesn't degrade over time or with exposure to sweat. If your helmet hasn't been physically damaged or the interior exposed to sunlight or solvents, it doesn't need to be replaced.
I went from a modular helmet you can buy at the Harley dealer, to a ruroc atlas 4.0, hate on me all you want, it’s cheaper than a shoei, comfy, pretty quiet, good ventilation, and I can listen to music, and it exceeded ECE approval, say what you want it’s better than some helmets on the market
Why isn't Amazon held to account for allowing that trash to be sold on its platform? It does strike me as amazing how much money the company makes and how little they do to justify it. They treat employees in the UK like slaves and I'm sure they exploit labour (labor) to the fullest extent that the law allows in the countries in which this company operates.
For the same reason a mall isn’t liable for what the stores that lease the space sell. They provide a place to make a transaction they aren’t responsible for what transaction took place. Atleast that’s how it was explained to me
One, bribes. Two, bribes. Three, I mean they say its DOT approved, and DOT is so low standard that even their passing rating is technically very much lethal impulse to the head... I know, that doesn't make sense, and to me an engineer, yeah that makes even less sense, but that's government regulations in a nutshell for you!
There are literally thousands of BAND items available for sale on Amazon - that is a known fact! Plus, if you're a politician and need a 15,000 more votes to be president you can probably buy them from an Amazon vendor!
How about a side-by-side destruction test of the predator vs. a real helmet? Something like some of the old Fortnine crash test vids to really highlight just how dangerous novelty crap like this is.
I'm so appauled at how retailers are allowed and actively sell this garbage. I have a N87 helmet because of the great price point, great safety ratings and how comfy it is! Highly recommend the n87 anyday. Really good vid btw!
Are they legally allowed to sell it as a full faced helmet? I mean, it’s sold on American Amazon. People get sued for not minding the gap if it wasn’t mentioned beforehand.
In decades past everyone got sued over everything, no matter how frivolous. Since then companies have figured out how to add just the right fine print to be un-suable, meaning those who deserve to be sued most are hardest to. A parameter we should look at for any company is how much they spend on making their products not worth suing over versus adding the right legal jargon to make them impossible to sue. Unfortunately the former people will still find reasons to sue. In this case the company that makes it is surely foreign and can vanish the instant someone tries to sue them, while Amazon has enough legal clout to avoid being complicit, pass the blame onto some other business that can vanish the moment it needs to. Just like their labor practices, they find ways of doing stuff that is bad but they can't legally be blamed for.
$197 for THAT piece of crap?? When I first started riding back in 2015, I bought a Bell full-face helmet, with SNELL approval *and* fancy graphics all over it, for like $100 on a modest sale

@@brodycaruso5394 Usually I modulate the brakes to find the limit feathering them the first time getting used to them (just like feathering and blipping the throttle for maximum control drifting cars). Pumping is more of a thing when you get air bubbles or running out of break fluid (very very common for older vehicles). But I think hydraulic brakes will 99% fail open instead of closed so its rare. I'm not sure how common that is to have them fail locking the wheels.
I was driving my car and saw rider with monster face shield on his helmet. It really stood out and I considered that it helped me notice him. This is a safety factor worth considering.
The Hornet looks sweet tho! 👍🏽 And...WHITNEY'S BACK!!! 👏👏👏🥳
The predator helmet Sent a bolt of fear through me at first glance. I wish I could say it was from the hellish Visage, but....no it was just fear for your life.
"Wait, who is this helmet for?"
"THIS helmet? It's for Spite."
"... Well, yeah, but who is it FOR?"
🤭😂🤣
Gr8 vid, spite & whitney. Ride safe, god bless u both.
HJC is the largest manufacturer of helmets. Because of that fact they can offer more premium options at a lower price point. A $200 HJC helmet is way nicer than this Mickey Mouse helmet.
I have that exact 1200 and I think its a great one. My confidence as a rider went up 10 fold as compared to the introduction helmet you had in the show. I would NEVER wear something meant for a costume.
The fact she was able to bring up the yautja in casual conversation and then gave it a british accent is why I subscribed, that and squid missiles.
"Spike's New Helmet" still a better story than the last Predator film (where the predators wanted to weaponise autism)
Totally unoriginal idea, Tucker Carlson has been doing that every other week for years🙄
Democrats have been doing it for a century. Look at AOC.
You wore a Wang- ba-Dan over your face. Nice one. Lol 😬
If you were to take out the voice, this is like the perfect motorcycle riding simulator 🤣 the audio and wind noise is so realistic
The sound of the wind is the same as when I ride with my visor up.
I got a Sena Outrush, pretty solid construction, modular, sun visor, and communication system. $198 w/ discount $184 out the door!
I would never trust an unknown helmet from Amazon, but I have to assume some are made far better than others.
I always play it safe with helmets, I'm positively dashing and i want to keep it that way thank you. So I spent about £120 on a shark branded helmet that was absolutely plastered in safety stickers and awards.
Its completely boring, plain black and round; but when i came off at 70mph, i just got back up with a fresh and enormous scratch on my helmet, nothing more.
Well to me at least, the bike was in the shop for a few days. :(
I'm totally using that line, "I don't think that's a decision you can make"
12 years ago when I used to ride I had 3 helmets. An Arai, a Shoei, and a AGV. The cheapest of the 3, Arai, was $600.
And it was pretty average compared to my Shoei and AGV.
Now keep in mind this was TWELVE years ago...
It's 2022 and you bought a helmet on Amazon for 200 dollars.
So I gotta ask you. WHAT. THE. FCUK. DID. YOU. EXPECT.
Content like this literally kills my brain cells man. God Bless you may the lord save your souls one day.
more of this please. the three of you's have great chemistry
RACE THE TURBO HAYABUSA ON THE DRAG STRIP
Would be hilarious 🤣🤣
The flashlight is suppost to resemble the tri laser that is mounted on predators shoulder. It was not meant to be usable, just appearance.
True, but it seems to me like the one possibly useful feature on this helmet - could be useful for night riding, say if you need to adjust your gear or something, or inspect your motorcycle. Makes you a tiny bit more visible as well. I've thought of how a light would be a nice feature on my helmet (plus a red light at the back) but haven't seen a good (and safe) way of doing that.
Spite and Whitney is quite an entertaining combo
DOT certification basically mean it MIGHT be better than nothing at this point. MIGHT!
Sounds that way. They did say it was a fake sticker though
@@trevor2830 but it’s not like the DOT is hunting down companies for using false DOT stickers so it makes it a moot point of contention. It’d be like if the ATF ‘approved’ a handgun right down despite their actions clearly displaying a desire to ban most if not all firearms indiscriminately. If you aren’t willing to defend what your supposedly standing for it leaves you looking stupid when you talk about it.
@@TheRealxKaydo you're right
I do not mean this as a flex by any means, but I currently run a Shoei X14. Never have I had a better helmet on my head. The venting, fitment, field of view is excellent! It makes no noise and you can turn your head 45° on the freeway and it still won't try to break your neck. Lightweight, beautiful style, and visor choices for days. All of that being said, I have lost many friends to cheap/no gear, and I personally cannot express how much helmets like these (predator) absolutely sicken me. Take hard earned money away from people who do not know any better, only to give them something somehow less safe than no helmet. I truly find it deplorable that "safety" items like these exist. Thank you guys for making this video, and I hope that it will be seen by the right people before it is too late.
that intro didn't age well
What happened
Did he actually get fired???
That ad you guys did was so bad it was good👍😂 The anxiety I was experiencing while Spite was on his ride with that skull cracker, melon destroyer, brain-no-more ok ok I’m not funny, but that helmet sure is buddump🥁buddump🥁.. sorry😏
That advertisement pitch was the best. Was waiting for an ED product
The Simpson bandit front end is coming back in style again
Got my very first bike thanks yammie might not be a busa but I'm happy! Keep riding and stay safe
dude i made the jump from a cheap 60$ ILM helmet from amazon to AGV K1 and the difference is astronomical. $300~ usd is completely worth it! Sure, i lost out on the intergrated visor and modular opening on the K1; but the airflow, the pin lock, and the ECE certification are worth it. Also the K1 is much lighter on my head and the fit is firm.
agv is not the best i only buy em on sale
It would definitely be better if you took off the plastic façade and just ran it as a half helmet but even still, that's probably lesser than one of the $80 Walmart helmets.
Whitney: You're fired. 🤣
Officer: Where you looking down at your phone?
Biker: No I was trying to check my speed in my Predator helmet 😭
First yammie video in allmost a year. I miss riding…… a lot
"Time for me to replace this helmet" EPS foam doesn't degrade over time or with exposure to sweat. If your helmet hasn't been physically damaged or the interior exposed to sunlight or solvents, it doesn't need to be replaced.
I think the ad was my favorite part of the video 😂😂😂
Why do i get the feeling that the "face shield" of that helmet would explode in your face in the event of a crash?
You. Gottta. Be. Shittin'. Me. Can't wait to see Millennial/gamer/fantasy guys out on the street in these. So much fun.
I went from a modular helmet you can buy at the Harley dealer, to a ruroc atlas 4.0, hate on me all you want, it’s cheaper than a shoei, comfy, pretty quiet, good ventilation, and I can listen to music, and it exceeded ECE approval, say what you want it’s better than some helmets on the market
Love how Yammie was "showing off" the wrong biceps during the ad :D you make a fist under the one more visible, noob!
Why isn't Amazon held to account for allowing that trash to be sold on its platform? It does strike me as amazing how much money the company makes and how little they do to justify it. They treat employees in the UK like slaves and I'm sure they exploit labour (labor) to the fullest extent that the law allows in the countries in which this company operates.
For the same reason a mall isn’t liable for what the stores that lease the space sell. They provide a place to make a transaction they aren’t responsible for what transaction took place. Atleast that’s how it was explained to me
The labor part is messed up though the turnover rates for their employees are one of the highest
One, bribes. Two, bribes. Three, I mean they say its DOT approved, and DOT is so low standard that even their passing rating is technically very much lethal impulse to the head... I know, that doesn't make sense, and to me an engineer, yeah that makes even less sense, but that's government regulations in a nutshell for you!
For the same reason China isn’t held responsible for un leashing a biological weapon on the world.
There are literally thousands of BAND items available for sale on Amazon - that is a known fact! Plus, if you're a politician and need a 15,000 more votes to be president you can probably buy them from an Amazon vendor!
The Solstice Of Heroes shirt 👌🏻
How about a side-by-side destruction test of the predator vs. a real helmet? Something like some of the old Fortnine crash test vids to really highlight just how dangerous novelty crap like this is.
"Sharp" out of the UK does extensive testing, impact zones, straps, latches etc. Invaluable.
I'm so appauled at how retailers are allowed and actively sell this garbage. I have a N87 helmet because of the great price point, great safety ratings and how comfy it is! Highly recommend the n87 anyday. Really good vid btw!
I'm just glad you didn't biff during the road test while wearing that thing.
When the ad read is even better than the video itself
Wow, just Wow. And what's bad is the amount of really good starter helmets you can get for that price
Bikes and beards reviewed this helmet last month. Such a funny video
I like the little pocket knife that says Spite in elder futhark. Nice.
Bikes and Beards did this same review 2 months ago. Nice work guys.
Perfect Just remove 8 screws and U got 2 best helmets on the market
As an AMZL worker, peep that DAU2 sticker. Got to train at that facility for a while, good people. 🤘
See how it holds up to various pistol, shotgun and rifle rounds.
Anyway, that’s Amazon looking out for their valued customers (and China).
Why, just for fun? No motorcycle helmet will stop any of those.
I upgraded to a shoei GT air two after having two Amazon lol
For $50 LESS than this, you can get a scorpion exo R420. That one won't cave and kill you, it saved my friend when he high-sided off his GSXR at 80.
Are they legally allowed to sell it as a full faced helmet? I mean, it’s sold on American Amazon. People get sued for not minding the gap if it wasn’t mentioned beforehand.
In decades past everyone got sued over everything, no matter how frivolous. Since then companies have figured out how to add just the right fine print to be un-suable, meaning those who deserve to be sued most are hardest to. A parameter we should look at for any company is how much they spend on making their products not worth suing over versus adding the right legal jargon to make them impossible to sue. Unfortunately the former people will still find reasons to sue. In this case the company that makes it is surely foreign and can vanish the instant someone tries to sue them, while Amazon has enough legal clout to avoid being complicit, pass the blame onto some other business that can vanish the moment it needs to. Just like their labor practices, they find ways of doing stuff that is bad but they can't legally be blamed for.
statement at 0:23 takes on a new meaning considering....
The outro on this one is like me interacting with my cats
$197 for THAT piece of crap?? When I first started riding back in 2015, I bought a Bell full-face helmet, with SNELL approval *and* fancy graphics all over it, for like $100 on a modest sale
there is a Russian company that actually builds high end predator helmets. but its about 5-600 dollars
I really thought the ad Segway was going to be to blue chew. 😂
Really thought the tire inflator ad was going to be a Blue Chew ad
The paid sponsor part was the best part of the video😂
I have seen MANY riders use this in the UK... 😂 I'll stick with my Arai and HJC...
I'm just super jealous that your on the modified 919. Still my favorite bike. Hope my Red is making someone happy.
Just pointing out that "it says made in China on it" more than likely applies to any helmet an any price range
"You're fired".... Oof. Anyways would love to see this revisited with like 5 Amazon helmets that are actually helmets
Didn't know Spite is a Destiny 2 fun, nice Age of Triumph t-shirt Spite!!!
Nice work. Your next review should be flip-flops vs motorcycle boots..
Yammie noob is the donut media of the bike world
So what you're saying is that this helmet will make me invincible.
I saw a guy riding a 2003 zx6r today in shorts. Sneakers, a fake leather ebay jacket, and a skateboard helmet that was too small....
Now all you need is a turbo Busa to match that helmet. Make sure the Busa has every chrome accessory known to man.
Nah... Go with a Grom, make it weird and awkward for everyone. That's what a Biker would do...
