00:00hello I'm Ryan F9 and this is the best
00:02beginner motorcycle gear of
00:062024 I heard gen Z was in the
00:13go after a decade's absence we welcome
00:16the icon domain back to the middle of
00:20lineup see icon has cheap Lids like the
00:23air form and airflight which are plastic
00:25and heavier than Joe Biden's
00:27eyelids then there's the fiberglass and
00:29carbon jobs no one can afford nor should
00:32they the variant is 1640 G the airf
00:35frame is 1540 but this domain it's 1510
00:39meaning icon's mid-range helmet is their
00:43nicest oops let's see what happened is
00:46icon's latest fiberglass reinforced
00:49plastic is nicer than yesterday's carbon
00:52making their latest redesign at the
00:53moment an awkwardly good deal especially
00:56for beginners who don't yet have the
00:58juggernauts traps I'm the gor
01:01shapewise the domain is simple pimply
01:04chin vents split across a ridge that
01:07dorsal that's it for Icon this is
01:10understated like guy Fetti speaking in
01:13ha coup I suspect the simple roundness
01:15has much to do with getting past ECE
01:182206 for the unfamiliar ECE 2206 is the
01:22safest certification since it tests
01:25rotational impacts impacts that are more
01:27easily Shrugged off by round helmet any
01:31protrusion is a torque wrench on your
01:33neck which is why icon ships the spoiler
01:35as a stick on don't tell ECE add-on I
01:39wouldn't this exhaust is already
01:41sufficiently low pressure that I cannot
01:43fog this helmet it's borderline chilly
01:46and perfect for those who aren't yet
01:48habituated to a full-f face bubble
01:50speaking of the earplug pockets are a
01:52passive aggressive reminder to New
01:54Riders all helmets are loud especially
01:57this one so protect your hearing while
01:59there's still something to protect take
02:00it from a former Invincible who is now
02:03going death the only thing I hate about
02:06the domain is that it comes ready to
02:08accept a proprietary Communicator Helm
02:11link is just a deconstructed Senna 50s
02:13with worse speakers and by designing a
02:15dock to put it in icon has created this
02:18hard plastic shelf that shears your ears
02:21oh manufacturers love these com
02:24Partnerships because they can upsell you
02:26on a device which in turn locks you into
02:29subsequent Icon helmets but we hate this
02:32 because it Engineers filler space
02:34into your lid for a battery that you
02:37probably won't buy makes a stealth stash
02:40spot for my oregano though in the end
02:43even icon seemed displeased with the
02:44collab because they shove the controller
02:46Port onto the back of your head leaving
02:49your traditional spot free to install
02:51the cardo that you'll much prefer the
02:54domain starts at 400 but it's icon so
02:56Graphics go up from there including
02:58mercury poison in silver Capital
03:01storming camo Wendy's 18th birthday and
03:05the usual self-portrait of their graphic
03:06designer Satan I chose Gold members
03:10helmet's helmet and Dick jokes aside I
03:12love that this comes in many color ways
03:15the trifect of helmet safety is first to
03:17pick something bright second to pick
03:19something that fits the domain ships
03:21with two cheek PAD thicknesses as every
03:23lid should but almost none do and third
03:25once your lid looks bright and fits
03:306 now if you only wear one piece of
03:33protection take this because you might
03:35die if you only wear two pieces of
03:37protection make it the helmet and the
03:39airbag I'm sorry to recommend something
03:42so new that the cheap ones cost
03:44$800 but an airbags Crush protection for
03:47your chest back and neck is on a new
03:49level about 50 times better than the
03:51pads you'd get in a traditional moto
03:58jacket I had my vest on saved me I won't
04:02beat the helite H move to death because
04:04we just released an entire video on
04:06airbags it's a functional backpack which
04:09is the subtlest place to hide in airbag
04:11and it triggers with a 2ot long 50lb
04:13Breakaway noose such a weed thing never
04:16heard anybody except Jeffrey Epstein now
04:19that we've saved our lives with a helmet
04:21and airbag we can work at preserving our
04:24Mobility the most common motorcycle
04:27crash is a slow one because slow motor
04:29CES naturally want to fall over the
04:32veteran Rider won't fight the fall but
04:35rather encourage the bike to fall onto a
04:38readily planted foot New Riders on the
04:41other hand kind of oh oh
04:4766% of the time a motorcycle hurts you
04:51it'll be because you dropped it on your
04:52own foot and since we're turning the
04:55camera on ourselves I can tell you that
04:57Fort 9 buys everything we review the
05:00good and the bad staying unbiased
05:02motorcycle Brands and motorcycle gear
05:04brands means selling Channel
05:05sponsorships for other things like insta
05:08360 making a video every week we
05:11appreciate the Speedy setup of Ace Pro's
05:13magnetic Mount and flip screen even when
05:15I can't see the camera I can check my
05:19remote or just wave a hand to start and
05:22stop recording on the Fly and this saves
05:25an N gigabytes of useless footage that
05:28same remote boat can overlay GPS data so
05:32I can review my impressions of a new
05:34bike alongside its speed or elevation or
05:38slope and that audio was linked from my
05:41cardo Communicator so there's no need to
05:43carry another mic these are uncommonly
05:47connected cameras highly sought after
05:49the 10% link below is a rare deal but
05:52please only click it if you have the
05:56spare meaning you can already afford
05:59full height boots I consider it a
06:01fundamental for beginners to have a hard
06:03Shin plate solid toe solid heel and wide
06:07area of cover but you can get all that
06:09with some clever extras this is a tree
06:12gum sole to help you stick that foot and
06:14save a topple and sneaker level
06:17malleability lets you really feel the
06:19break and shift levers while you're
06:21still learning extra sensory foot
06:23control old hands will notice that I'm
06:25just describing a trials Boot made for
06:27the sport of grip and feel and have
06:29chosen the garnet balance prote because
06:31it occupies a value niche in the trials
06:34world see the balance classic is fake
06:36leather glued to its sole it's bound to
06:39crack and separate when you hold it next
06:40to a hot engine case all day and the
06:42balance oiled is nice Italian Stitch
06:45leather but that cost
06:47$520 but the balance prot te gets the
06:50same quality construction and is over a
06:52hundred bucks cheaper just because it
06:53lacks the waterproof membrane thing is
06:56you can oil this yourself you'll still
06:58stay plenty dry with a boot interior
07:01that actually breathes you'll save money
07:04much like our helmet the garnet balance
07:06prote is a mid-level product that is the
07:08best of the range trials boots are an
07:11equally walkable yet safer alternative
07:13to Cruiser tour scooter and general
07:15street shoes just know that you don't
07:18get the limited torsional or lateral
07:20mobility of true motocross boots so
07:22anyone wanting to learn off-roading
07:24should stick to MX kit after feat the
07:27next most common 47 % of all crash's
07:30injury is to the hands you can make
07:33those car heart pants and Jack at work
07:35but not all work gloves are safe for
07:37motorcycling and not all motorcycle
07:39gloves are safe you want to see at least
07:43ce1 KP designation meaning a metacarpal
07:46Shield a palm that will slide for 3
07:49seconds and a 25 Newton wrist closure so
07:51you don't lose the glove entirely five
07:54refuses to make anything other than
07:56motorcycle gloves they're usually a safe
07:59bet that also means the entire company
08:01is devoted to finding little glovely
08:03things like pre curving put these five
08:06Sparks on and your hands will want to
08:08curl years from now your clutch and
08:11throttle muscles will naturally claw up
08:13you'll go through life and love wanting
08:14to grab everything like a handlebar but
08:17in the beginner months a precurved glove
08:19is a good way to cheat hand fatigue
08:22there's also a slip liner for getting
08:23the glove on wet and the tag disappears
08:26into it so you won't cut it out then
08:28curse yourself 12 months later when you
08:30finally try to do laundry the usual
08:32index finger is touch capable but so is
08:35the thumb so you can pull zoom on your
08:38maps and stuff but my personal favorite
08:42is the hard Palm slider which so many
08:45companies neglect it's the difference
08:47between your wrist hitting and sliding
08:50versus biting and breaking the spark is
08:53five's widest appeal product I don't
08:56want to call it a lost leader because at
08:5780 bucks they're still cutting their
08:59pound of flesh but the spark does have
09:01uncommon features per dollar because
09:03five sees it as a gateway to the brand
09:06Believe It or Not other five gloves cost
09:08up to 700 bucks so the icon domain is
09:12their best helmet despite being middle
09:14priced the helite H move should make you
09:16look for a motorcycle $800 cheaper
09:18because airbags are honestly worth it
09:21then this is how I would design the
09:23perfect beginner boot before realizing
09:26that I've just made a trials boot in the
09:27garnet balance Protech already exists
09:30then the five spark feels worryingly
09:32comfy but the C1 KP designation doesn't
