@DorkintheRoad I live in west Michigan, lots of dirt roads and trails nearby. I'd love to have something that I get out on more. Currently have a naked street bike....very limiting
Thanks Dork! I have always wondered about this helmet but never seen one in person or seen any reviews. This looks like a great spot to go explore around.
Putting the Molecule skid plate on my 500 was a huge PITA. Fortunately it got easier to remove and put back on over time. Here in northern CA, Sierra Pacific owns a lot of land. It used to be open to the public and there was a lot of amazing riding. A few years ago they closed it all and we lost all those riding areas. They cited people dumping trash and fire danger as the main reasons.
Your on a bike, go till you get caught, Then pay the fine.. Cheap riding costs! Someone I know maybe had done things like this in other states.. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I installed and adjusted my tusk shift lever, I set it one notch too low. It looked like it had full range, but it it just enough that it was hit or miss going into first
I wonder if Madstad would send you a shield to try… They make amazing windshields, theirs was the only one that completely eliminated buffeting on my Africa Twin. Keep the 790 content coming!
The madstad on my dr650 is awesome, works wonders with how adjustable it is however on my V85tt the screen doesn't reduce buffeting over stock at all no matter how I adjust it.
My favorite camping spot used to be hard to get to and I only ever saw one person there. You either needed a bike or something with 4wd. They fixed the washout though and now its super popular, and always booked full... bummer
Was looking for this. Bro just tried to save us money by showing us cheaper shades than flying eyes. Now showing us a rebranded helmet that’s exactly the same minutes the stamp. 699 with the addition of the tourotech stamp. He even said it’s not availible otherwise. Thats 🧢 499 on Revzilla right now.
The more I watch your videos the more I understand you are a Dork! but I love ya an your knowlege. God Bless!! IM from N.Idaho same stuff on the roads.. Logging roads all over.
Ok I didn't watch it all the way through when I commented, it sounds way better with the visor down, but also I do wish you hit some higher speed stuff
I'll never buy a Nexx helmet again after owning an XWed.2. They seem great looking at the feature list, but I've never owned a helmet so cheaply made. I had to Velcro in all of the cheek pads due to garbage lining clips, the visor/peak clips pop off on the road if you even brush them with your hand, I've almost lost my chin vent cover when opening it with gloves on due to it also popping off. It feels like they made a premium shell and then just kept glueing cheap plastic onto it.
Id love to see a review of the Scorpion ADF 9000 which is supposed to be a super light (lighter than the Klim!) adventure helmet. They dont have them at my local shop so i can try it myself.
Nice helmet , I got mine the 2023 model 1/2 price you are right its very light but the plastic wing that hold the visor are a pc of s*** had to get extra hope they fixed that on your version Alain & Yellow ( Ryker is home , 2 ride in already ) muffler roar a bit much but that I was looking for now I sound like a Triump.
Can you indicate how that helmet fits compared to the Shoei Hornet X2 I have a long oval head shape and there is no place to try on the touratech here in AZ
well, the helmet is cheaper (a lot) than the new Arai. Nothing wrong with my XD-4 though, besides a little weight. I wonder if I have a Touratech shaped head? I lusted after the Krios Pro, when it was THE helmet to have, but it's just the wrong shape for my head, so it wasn't even an option.
Was thinking of getting a ktm 790 but read they have been having issues with cam failure. In part due to oiling issues. Any thoughts on how big an issue it is and or if they fixed it ?
?? You lost me at.. " This is not where I told my wife id be"... Joking! kind of..lol Well you get all the cool Sht now to test an have nice!! Mic Sound Excellent!!!
Did you experience excessive wind noise? I bought this helmet recently, and I am experiencing terrible wind noise. I have tried 3 different screens on my 1300 gs and have taken off the peak, opened, and closed vents, but nothing makes it better. I am so disappointed.
Lighter than a Krios you say? That’s impressive. I’m reluctant to move away from my Krios because it’s so light. Build quality on the Klim has been crap.
You know, you can film more "mundane" content for some of us. I enjoy this even if there isn't much to it. Just make it a series so those who don't care for it skip it. More views either way, right?
What if your ktm breaks down and you need a guy in a 50 year old rv to help you? Are they scum then? asking for a guy that loves nature and adventure with a 43 year old rv

I can't wait to see more videos on the 790. Very much considering picking one up.
there's a lot of value here
@DorkintheRoad I live in west Michigan, lots of dirt roads and trails nearby. I'd love to have something that I get out on more. Currently have a naked street bike....very limiting
Totally agree. I keep waiting for more 790 stuff
Same here.
I mean it would be nice for more 790/890…..
I love the 790 content. Keep it coming Ben.
Have a total of 23 miles on my new black 790. Got it home and had to get back to work. lol. Look forward to more 790 vids.
Thanks Dork! I have always wondered about this helmet but never seen one in person or seen any reviews. This looks like a great spot to go explore around.

Would love to see more about luggage/camping gear setup on the 790 and what's available for mods.
When I installed and adjusted my tusk shift lever, I set it one notch too low. It looked like it had full range, but it it just enough that it was hit or miss going into first
No shot of the new skid plate.? What a Dork! 😆
Thank you for the great adventure Ben, Nice helmet
I got my cruise control for the Transalp today....sweet. Thanks for the link
I wonder if Madstad would send you a shield to try…

Keep the 790 content coming!

Great video

that is a tragedy
Get the Nexx X-Wed3 Carbon Pro. You get more for your money!

I anxious to see what bags you’re gonna put on the 790.
Audio is amazing in this helmet man! At least at the lower speeds, it was the first thing I noticed when watching.
Ok I didn't watch it all the way through when I commented, it sounds way better with the visor down, but also I do wish you hit some higher speed stuff
Thanks for the video! I wondered how the road/wind noise is relative to other helmets you have used?
I'll never buy a Nexx helmet again after owning an XWed.2. They seem great looking at the feature list, but I've never owned a helmet so cheaply made.

I tried to get one but they did not come through ;)
The scorpion adf 9000 is in fact heavier than the krios pro it's more than 1.5 kg
@@DorkintheRoad ooo that's a knock on Scorpion then! They should be supporting my internet riding buddy!

Been looking at this CFMoto MT450. Hmm.. Not a bad looking helmet..👍
Nice ride. I've been considering a new helmet. Have a kryos now. How was it for wind noise on the highway?
average
Can you indicate how that helmet fits compared to the Shoei Hornet X2 I have a long oval head shape and there is no place to try on the touratech here in AZ
65 Grams heavier than my Klim Krios Pro but I'm here for the 790!

I had the same experience with my molecule Motorsports skid plate for the Kove. Great product, bad directions.
I'm buying a bike, want to do BDRs, please make a decision for me 790 Adventure OR Honda Transalp???
?? You lost me at.. " This is not where I told my wife id be"... Joking! kind of..lol Well you get all the cool Sht now to test an have nice!! Mic Sound Excellent!!!
Klim Krios Pro 1,3 - 1,5 kg, touratech aventuro carbon pro 1,5 - 1,7 kg. You claim that the touratech is lighter?
I claim that it feels light. I haven't used the Krio Pro.
@@DorkintheRoadHow dare you claim what you feel. 😅
How are you liking the 790 ?
Any issues so far ?
Did you experience excessive wind noise? I bought this helmet recently, and I am experiencing terrible wind noise. I have tried 3 different screens on my 1300 gs and have taken off the peak, opened, and closed vents, but nothing makes it better. I am so disappointed.
I guess you changed your mind on the AXP skid plate ?
I wanted to support a local business if I could.
Thank you for not moving the cameras location. There is no better camera angle for this sort of content.
looks like a Nexx 100%
there's a good reason for that ;)
Lighter than a Krios you say? That’s impressive. I’m reluctant to move away from my Krios because it’s so light. Build quality on the Klim has been crap.
I mean I didn't weigh it and I didn't have the Krios pro but it feels lighter to me.
You know, you can film more "mundane" content for some of us. I enjoy this even if there isn't much to it. Just make it a series so those who don't care for it skip it. More views either way, right?
Does it come in a real 5xl? No. Oh well.
Holy muffled sound old video game dude!
That’s 200 grams more than klim😅
It’s more Than the famously heavy Shoei hornet😂😂
Well I've been wearing the Shoei lately so that may be my most recent point of comparison.
What if your ktm breaks down and you need a guy in a 50 year old rv to help you? Are they scum then? asking for a guy that loves nature and adventure with a 43 year old rv
Does it run? Do you dump it and big piles of garbage in the woods? If not, then I'm probably not talking about you.
Another video that dose not tell me anything
