Don’t own a motorcycle and don’t even live in the USA/Canada and still love this channel videos ! Keep the great work

[@chiaseedpudding3463]

Lucio Moreira same:))

[@vavin6927]

Wat?

[@emmanuelgutierrez8616]

Actually, this channel is Canadian. Revzilla is the American version.

"meaningless DOT sticker" well said.

[@64t120r]

I really hate when my brain turns red.

[@64t120r]

My mother passed away recently. She had vascular dementia and it took a lot of time and patience to take care of her. Thank you for your respectful comment.

[@v-m-a-p]

At least you can make trolls GTFO and make them feel guilty at the same time... Sorry for your loss.

[@tito1rocks]

64t120r god damn dude.

[@64t120r]

Thank you.

[@kavinsp]

64t120r sad for your mom... May her soul rest in peace

[@京都アンソニー]

The ultimate motorcycle salesman channel, good video man

[@justhere2travel]

If he isn't talking about it, I'm not thinking about purchasing it!

[@paddyr.3721]

@@justhere2travel good Point!

[@tunit3727]

I swear these reviews make me want every piece of gear he features....

[@pumassg]

I reluctantly subscribed some time ago, but most certainly happy with my decision. He has been putting out consistently relevant and high quality videos. Keep up the great work man!

[@GETUPANDGO]

They put out some really good stuff, one of my favorite channels

[@brianbrooking496]

Why reluctantly?

[@pumassg]

Brian Brooking no good reason at all. I'm just kind of bad at giving a fair shot to anyone or anything not belonging to a "brand name" company. But since the videos I watched from him were better than the uninformative crap the big publications were putting out, I had to stick around to see what was to come. From day one he made relevant stuff, but the video and production quality has leveled up big time since I started watching. Can't wait to see him with his own Amazon special.

[@brianbrooking496]

BRANDON SPENCE good for you - its nice to give people a fair crack of the whip. I enjoy the blogs too - all relevant and no bs....

[@DavidReuschJr]

You're doing a great job with these videos! Finally someone getting real nerdy in this sport. It's truly appreciated how much knowledge you speak about these products while seeing right past the hype.

[@NerdLFG]

For the boots I go with the TCX Street Ace Airs, super comfy for hot and cold, and still sub 200 ($160 american). Used them from mid 40F-90F temps and still comfy. Water proof versions exist for the same price, but living in California where rain is more of a myth than reality, it wasn't something I considered.

[@CP4884]

That's a carabiner symbol dude. They're used in climbing, so i'm really not sure what they have to do with motorcycles. However, they're also quite useful for keeping things attached to other things, so they could theoretically be used to keep things attached to your bike.

[@mrvwbug4423]

People actually carry their phone in their pants when they ride? I would be too paranoid of my phone falling out of the pocket, I always use the phone pocket in my jacket.

[@martind349]

mrvwbug44 It seemed to slip into those pants an a nice distance from the ticker and baby-rocks, if these are important to you.

[@k.-flynn]

Hobbs Lane dude if your phone isn't 100° constantly then it's fine

[@a_LaLi_LuLe_Lo]

Lol I just saw a ride out video yesterday where somebody was doing a wheelie at like 40-50mph and his phone fell out his pocket, bounced off the road, and flew into the lap of rider behind him.

[@jdjeasy]

Ive been riding for 7 years now. Was paranoid also, but even in loose pockets they didnt fall out. I ride a sportsbike so with the angle you get itll easily fall out, you'd think. The contrary so far. The only times I get paranoid is in heavy rain. Phone is wet AF when getting it out even tho not waterproof it survived everytime

[@ScooterNinja]

Nowdays ppl carry phone in their one hand texting while balancing with other in city traffic on dem gearless scooters :D

[@apm136]

cool fix for 'scuffed shifter shoe' i came up with is to wrap heat shrink tubing around the peg, stops my nice shiny leather shoes getting all scuffed up going to college everyday, possible addition to the next motorcycle life hacks ?

[@ValentinoMariotto]

or even better, a strap of velcro

[@marashah.ibrahim]

jimothy_9th well good thing tha I have a heel-toe shifter 😉.

[@JamesWhiting96]

Fortnine can you make an up-to-date video on a helmet guide for people who wear glasses and include the best couple of options for commuting.

[@fortyjarsOjello]

Been watching you non-stop this week and have to say I love your honesty. For every positive you find a negative so we the viewer get the truth and nothing else. I'm planning on getting into riding and look forward to everything you will continue to make! Hope you're liking Vancouver.

[@CKTDanny]

Aww yeah! Been waiting for this video since the one about sport gear

[@jerico5134]

I want to get my motorcycle license but I want to know a lot about them before buying, riding, and inevitably making myself look stupid. You are helping a lot here. Thank you.

[@BOYVIRGO666]

So the Roland jacket has been discontinued...damn. Its a nice jacket.

[@patrickhassett6577]

We need a 2021 version of this video. Me and the other 19 year olds need some gear and we already spent our lemonade stand money our bikes.

[@briantejada-lefrancois602]

These reviews along with their super customer service makes for the best place to shop for anything related to motorcycles. ✌🏍

[@jrixcruxt5672]

Just when you thought he's about to favor something or a particular brand and then suddenly there always comes the bad side at the end, leaving us viewers to decide depending on our taste and configurations. Great job 👍👍👍

[@TheSuperBassfly]

I just got my mx9 mips in the mail. I love it, thanks for the recommendation Ryan.

[@mattheweastel129]

Great outfit and love the out of the box thinking regarding the lid. I never thought about going dirt for commuting, but makes a lot of sense. Commuting in London is probably comparable to extreme off roading anyway!

[@Curzyk]

Lol @ 0:26! I have the bright neon Scorpion helmet, and a high-viz Aerostich suit! I often describe myself as a "walking highlighter".

[@threeleggedcatdogwithtwosa6469]

Friggin love your vids man. I really like how your funny without being condescending to us low experienced peeps. I actually watch you for my boosted stealth riding gear. Im a tiny asian 31year old female riding in hawaii and its hard to find info vids without feeling...bullied. so thanks.

[@Samoaba]

Love watching this channel even though most of the products aren't even available where I am. Always a pleasure

[@motardmike6383]

Probably been mentioned, but the Bell MX-9 Mips helmet comes in an Adventure version with full face shield. Not any quieter, but even more versatile. Goggles can stay strapped on and the full shield can close over them and their straps.

[@Glueby]

I absolutely love these videos Ryan. You're so intellectual / knowledgeable the way you speak about things. It makes me look forward to literally every video. I don't know how you guys don't have 10mil subs but hey, at least we have you. Ride safe man!

[@skyworks1621]

Due to the disease I was out of motorcycling for few years but plan to buy a new Vstrom 1000 in spring and it is great to see what market has to offer when I get back in the game which I loved so much...

[@vuncer]

goosebumps while watching a motorcycle gear guide unbelievable you are too good man

[@TheHumanSpirit]

Ryan, you most certainly have fun with the flowery narration of these videos, don't you. If you're going to do something, do it with a playful gusto, no? You strike the right balance of information and showmanship. And, above all, always honest. Love it.

[@cugglester]

These reviews are awesome even if you aren't interested in the particular products. Ryan makes it very entertaining!

[@GiancarloFloyd]

The best and shortest explanation of MIPS.

[@PolskaTheGrey]

I jist found this channel and id have to say this guy has one of the best motorcycle channel personalities out there.

[@sidrialgr]

This is probably one of the best channels on youtube. Amazing video quality and editing and great content. Congratulations!

[@motorman857]

This guys entertaining and informative. What more could you ask for?

[@andrewibibo2901]

I'm really into this new style of video displaying entire outfits. I still like seeing a variety of products though, perhaps you could show a runner-up outfit as well?

[@BradBrother]

SO CRAZY! I was JUST looking at upgrading my less-than-par commuting gear! THANK YOU FORTNINE!!

[@roboticboredom]

Your video's are equally informative and hilarious, dare I say punny? Thanks for making all these. I dont know that you'll ever top the killing the KLR video, but applauds to all your gear reviews being entertaining.

[@Rdenieuwe91]

Buying the helmet!!! Love your videos man I’m a “cruiser rider” but love how to can pick the gear us not so typical cruiser riders love.

[@StatusSymbol]

The production quality of this video made it so easy to watch. And I love the music you guys used. 👌🏾

[@Brendan9674]

Even watching a video published a year ago is chock-a-block with info. Thank you Fort Nine Info Priests.

[@BrooklynPeterParker]

"The best peg feel in town" at 8:46. I laughed.

[@micaelmunoz5417]

Dude what a great review on that helmet i just bought same one a couple days ago and im waiting to arrive soon i didint knew it had so much features. Great vid mate.

[@only_james]

Fastest click I've done in a while

[@bakenasty8860]

love your videos man. dry humor keeps me coming back

[@enceladusfox2247]

Ryan You look SLICK in everything you put on ! thumbs up, love the video buddy thank you from all your viewers as always !.

[@billiondollardan]

nice! I've been watching the old "best of" vids for the last month so I could get hyped for this year's season

[@FilmHerald]

#authentic

[@Tibbon]

While maybe a little more "adventure" I really dig the Rev'it Dirt 2 gloves. Right combination of nimble, protection, vents, etc.

[@povlhalberg5361]

I was looking for adventure jacket, but really like F9 and his sense of humor. :)

[@hugonaut808]

I love my Klim Outriders dude! Thanks for the tip.

[@oldaxehead655]

AGV K3SV is a great commuter helmet, tons of air, drop down internal visor so you can keep the face shield up with the inner shield down if you want more air.

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

Charlie Tate imo the k3sv sunvisor is too small and messes up your vision easily. For me it hardly clears my eyes, pretty good helmet fpr the price but there is better for less.

[@angelramos5204]

Every item is sold out thanks to this guy

[@MargusMoto]

I love watching reviews on this channel because weather-wise my country is more on par with Canada than US. As I like revzilla more for the entertainment quality, I don't need everything ventilated as weather hardly ever gets hot enough :D

[@AlexanderHonsVonEber]

Love your ending song.. like a sad 80’s movie.. nostalgia!

[@VeniseGrr]

3:29 oh look it's Littlefinger! lol

[@illfox240sx6]

personally I like the approach of the high tech heavy armor from the latest in motorcycle technology from vans and a high abrasion resistant t-shirt with a clever meme from walmart

[@crystal5823]

I LOL'd at the little finger flicks at 7:36. New subscriber and looking to do my motorcycle training license soon. Awesome videos!

[@GETUPANDGO]

Nicely done, you guys always point me in the right direction for new gear

[@fahimmosharrof7209]

My favourite Moto KZbinr. Keep it up Ryan! Just more motorcycle reviews please

[@jovi___]

Ive been a subscriber for a while now. I really enjoy your videos. You’re thorough and your production quality is top notch. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@TJonMaxx1]

thanks!! Your videos are getting better and better! keep up the good work!

[@LibertyHand]

I was looking at those gloves last night. Right on time!

[@ayahmohammad654]

How about Female Gear 2018 for Sport? 😕 Love this series although I wish they included Female Gear as well!

[@panicfanzy]

Ayah Mohammad seconded!

[@omega5040]

You have less options but there's lots of good stuff out there.

[@fattymcgee123]

A lot of times you're going to pay more for the same thing, just because it has pink on it. Like most products, just but the dude's stuff if you can, you'll save cash. Unless it's fashion or function, obv.

[@jacobslyker1450]

You won’t get info on fit or comfort from Ryan lol

[@apm136]

Would be good for a best female gear of 2018 maybe a 30 min covering all the decent female gear rather than individual videos as most of it is either non existant or just a men's size small with some pink

[@DaMaX74]

Thaks again for an objective review. That's what I like about F9.

[@stevenvonhofsten331]

Probably the best channel I've ever subbed to. Bless.

[@Daniel-tj6mc]

Great video. I commute every day on my bike & have found Roland sands gear works best on & off. I have the new Fresno shoes. Chose them over those j-8 alpinestars mainly because of the full toe box & ankle protection plus they were only 200. Pants wise bull-it makes great looking jeans & no one knows there riding pants. Rev'it also makes good casual riding gear but is to expensive. I have five Roland sands jackets all new, off ebay, all under 500$ together. Be safe commuting guys & gals

[@nolarocks]

Another great review by FortNine and Richard Benjamin! Thanks!

[@alexfinn7989]

Carrying a spare goggle lense of a different tint is much easier to fit in a pack than face shield. Or just use a tinted visor (much cooler than clear) and carry a pair of safety glasses if you are stuck in the dark.

[@lukyluke993]

Damn the videos are really improving. Love it!

[@bumpercars77]

Yeah but these are good for guys or sturdy girls who are experienced since protection seems minimal here. It's very hard to find gear for girls in Sydney since most manufacturers are international, they won't ship their items here unless there is a high demand. Idk if I can ride again but I'm very disappointed by the limited options we have... But thanks to you my 'Noggin' and my chest was saved lol so keep these videos coming, they're actually very helpful for people who have no idea what to look for!

[@geoffgoemans6352]

This Channel is fantastic, deserves more subs.

[@rexjonez2918]

I'm actually a fan of how you use the hover board to do a rotary show for helmets lol

[@benimatyus]

I love your videos Ryan, but where I live, under $1000 is still expensive Af.

[@virginiawallace6966]

I took typing in high school, I'm old enough to be your grandma. I can type for real not just with my thumbs.......I think I'd like those gloves though!

[@gamerjohnson6024]

Really cool! What's awesome is Roland sands is in my hometown of los al

[@ToshMatsum]

Great job man. I'll check out at least the goggles and the gloves -- I need those the most.

[@jasonjayalap]

Bell makes the "adventure" version (dual sport) with a face shield (that closes over goggles). Assuming the chin is still open enough (any one know how MX and DS chin bars compare?) you can keep the shield up then drop it when it rains. An expensive extra, but maybe worth it if you ride in the rain. Right now, I forgo the goggles and just use the internal sun shield (with clear face shield up) during the day when it's hot (always), and hope that it's not both hot and dark (rare). The big disadvantage is that I don't get 100% (ha) eye protection that way. I want to try with goggles soon though. I thought commuter would be overpants/suit. Something you take off or change out of (which could be anything at that point, I guess). Do you really want to wear the same jacket, pants, and boots every day? Congrats on the new studio.

[@ferrari430sc100]

Jason J. Ayala P. Was also thinking that the da mx9 has a shield. And also, I thought commuting gear would be something for the exterior, since most people have a dress code for work or whatever they are going to.

[@jasonjayalap]

I guess there wouldn't be much to say: Overpants for the bottom (mesh, solid with liner, or mx), your normal jacket over the top (you might have to carry your shirt folded), and change shoes once there. But if you're gonna have to change clothes once there, you could ride in anything I guess. Then you gotta talk about heavy rain. There are plenty of suits, 1 and 2 piece. For cheapest with good reviews, Coleman makes a 2 piece for figherman for $30 they amazon reviewers say they use on a moto. Moto brands make em for up to $100. Conclusion: We need an aerostitch suit that doesn't look so goofy, well ventilated for hot areas, and sewn in taiwan or mexico at best (to reach $800). That, or make your dress code uniform out of 600D polyester with armor pockets!

[@Benzal82]

Are you talking about this helmet !? Its actually cheaper too www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/242474

[@ferrari430sc100]

David Benzal yeah that's the one but there is a mip version which is better

[@EnoEnasni]

I believe the "whatever the hell that is" at 6:28 is a Carabiner .

[@sdcorrey]

Good choices unless you commute year round in all weather. I'd still recommend having a 'Stich or similar in addition to this gear if you are a daily rider. Nice being able to ride to work in a downpour and have dry clothes on under your gear.

[@raulestrada2274]

Great job! I wish I had seen this before I picked up my last helmet.

[@esox202]

Regarding the Pants: The "Whateverthehellthisis" is a medal.

[@IslandTosh]

Another great video, and great points about the benefits of a MX helmet.

[@PhantomRides]

I wear CE Rated Safety Shoes... They aren't the best but damn cheap for city commutes and look great.

[@kamilf9558]

Great video man 👨 Thumbs up 👍 Thanks for sharing Peace

[@nelsonmairena8217]

Nice video. Suggestion of a video. 1. How to deal with helmet hair and 2 how to deal with wrinkled clothes for us who commutes daily on formal wear

[@iCodeForBananas]

"hipster uniform"

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

Goggles + glasses: have you a video about that? I'd like to wear a mask but I have prescription glasses

[@FortNine]

Try searching "OTG" goggles. That's what most manufacturers call their goggles for use over prescription glasses. I don't have a video on them yet unfortunately. ~RF9

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

Thanks!

[@silenthill4]

Just get a helmet that can take a 5 clip shield

[@rjo2020]

Thorough, informative, helpful choices provided.....Great job!

[@CPUspeed]

Canada is like the cool older brother you call for advice

[@alekswantroba4567]

lmao no, it's definitely not like that.

[@mrhalish]

Enjoyed this video and the one on sport gear... hope to see one on cruiser gear next ;)

[@donelygunn6002]

Could you do a video on moto air bags? I love your videos and would love to hear what you think about them since they have gotten more affordable and advanced over the years.

[@gustavogattino]

I wish we had those kind of gear around here in Brazil.

[@deveshyadav5776]

[@Purple_Pixel]

Love my Klim Outrider pants.

[@saiprashanthannadanam7774]

Nice comical twists...... Good job

Only thing missing is seeing you wear all that on the bike, great review non the less ✌️

Loving this new series!

[@ethansmith2713]

Im 13 I don’t even have a dirt bike but I like your videos keep up the good work

[@estarkymorales-santana3088]

I'm loving the new way of making videos. Side comments, funny between the line jokes, and harsh picky reviews. I tell people about your channel like a Jehovah Witness coming to your door. I don't care if you're in underwear. I'll still preach it.
