Top Underpriced Motorcycle Gear

We often overpay for gear that don't really seem to fit the suggested high price. Finding good motorcycle gear at a reasonable price can be hard. We always assume that a higher price means higher quality. That is not always the case. RyanF9 found a few items that are top quality and that are also underpriced.

Apple Jax same here my gloves aren't good I need new ones I'm going to check them gloves out

[@jordanmccarthy9851]

I looked for gloves for 4 months. For price point, you can't beat these. I got them for 38 bucks at my bike shop in Vancouver. The perforated version are well ventilated and suited for summer riding, but will do for the early part of the shoulder season. The leather is quite thin which is great for flex and comfort, however not the best for abrasion resistance. Also easy to donne and off. For 38+hst, you can't go wrong. Great glove.

[@benpiper1143]

I love how you incorporate some comedy while keeping a cover of professionalism. "A behemoth cargo pouch for carrying small children." "Ze expensive German tire."

[@mononabay]

Hands down, one of the best motorcycle reviewers on KZbin. To the point yet entertaining. The product research you put into your videos is excellent. Keep them coming.

[@Real_MisterSir]

I like how you always get right to the point, never biased, and focus on all the important details. Still can't believe this is a one man production (at least I guess it is). I wonder if you would like to make like a beginner's guide to most basic/important adv motorcycle gear? (not gear as in clothes, but as gear for the bike) -Keep up the great work RyanF9

[@FortNine]

Cool suggestion bud. Added it to our list of ideas for the next batch of reviews :-) - NeilF9

[@tmrthiago]

This is Canadasmotorcycle`s marketing production. Get a grip.

[@hcmpeyang5682]

Please Cut the Bu*l Sh*t N44 only cost USD$380 that is 100% MADE IN ITALY WHILE LS2 is Cheap MADE IN CHONA.

[@darthchile]

Daniel Kemnitz I checked the LS2 in person, you can immediately see why it is so cheap.

[@CaptHollister]

hcmpe yang3 Fortnine is based in Canada and the prices given are in Canadian dollars. Yes, the Nolan is made in Italy, that is why it's so much more expensive. As a life-long rider since the 1970s, I've owned many helmets, including Nolan (but not the N44) and my current LS2. In my experience, I would say the price difference between these two isn't justified. LS2 helmets are surprisingly well-made and don't fit the stereotype of cheap Chinese helmets. Quality-wise, they are on par with other medium range helmets, but cost a lot less.

[@NicMiller]

Also, your channel is one of the most underrated channels on YT!

[@davz0r]

Man, your videos are so professionally done and your reviews feel sincere and honest. I don't even have a motorcycle yet but thank you for all the work you do :)

I don't know why this channel hasn't got 3 million subs already, It's by far the most professional and informative motorcycle channel on KZbin, Keep up the stella work FortNine.

[@shenandoahalice429]

Thanks so much for these videos! As someone who has no motorcycle knowledge and is trying to eventually get one, these vids are super helpful and not overwhelming as others tend to be.

[@JohSno]

Agreed

[@rennock7540]

and judging by this comment chain and many others, the comment section isn't terrible either

[@MyNameisStorm]

I work at a motorcycle performance shop, I cannot recommend the sport Shinko tires. They are an extremely hard compound which means they are great for burnouts and drifting if you're into that sort of thing, but not so good for grip and over-all performance. Sure they're cheap, if you have no other option, they are obviously better than nothing, but I'd recommend better. The dual-sport tires might be great, as you really can't go wrong with the compound for those, I'd just stay away from the sport tires.

[@julioenriello]

Good job, I appreciate the fact that you put a lot of effort to make your videos as good as it can be

[@villaincatcher9154]

No doubt about it Ryan FortNine you are the King of motovloggers! Always interesting, knowledgeable and professional. Love the comment re carrying small children - hilarious! Keep up the good work.

[@KevinGuerrero]

Been binge watching your channel. Good stuff. Keep it up

[@Zt3v3]

I've been watching FN for a few years and you're getting better, much better. SUBSCRIBED

[@ChamberSix.]

This was an awesome video, because not everyone has thousands f dollars to go spend on gear, and these seem some good quality for their price tag.

[@FortNine]

We're also talking in $CDN dollars :-)

[@flibjabber]

FortNine wait wait wait.....all of that was in Canadian dollars? good to know.

[@heeboheebo9690]

Drag Outlaws You'll thank your expensive riding gear when the accident happens.

[@TheBowen2011]

heebo heebo in my experience it doesn't matter how much you spent on your gear when your smashing through someone's Windscreen at 80mph. save the money and buy some thing you like, least then your Happy when you repaint someone's grill. 👍

[@heeboheebo9690]

Connor Bowen I think there are many different kinds of accidents and usually the higher quality (usually more expensive) gear protects you better.

[@fzswede9533]

Got this channel as a suggestion for like a month ago. And i gotta say that i regret i didn't hook sooner! One of the best iv'e seen 👍🏼 Great tips and really good quality, subscribed!

[@tacline2]

FortNine and Revzilla are easily the best channels to turn to for motorcycle gear. The reviews are so in depth and helpful. FN seriously deserves more subscribers, all of these videos are top notch, second only MAYBE to Revzilla, and even then only by a hair.

[@FortNine]

This is Neil from F9TV were we take pride in not talking so fast that allTheWordsSoundLikeOne. haha, thx for the compliment bud! -NeilF9

[@JimmyBComputerGuy]

While riding my KLR650 on Old Ore Road in Big Bend National Park (mostly broken rock), the Shinko big block did not inspire much confidence, but inspired plenty of terror. Great everywhere else though, except sand. No sand. I really enjoy your work - thanks.

[@USMCCGAGNG]

Ryan, it’s no wonder why you’re a success. Keep up the good work.

[@laodealmuqarrabun656]

The best review-type channel on KZbin, hands down

[@silverbond25694]

One thing to mention with that Shinko Tire, If you do worry about the fishtailing you can always razor the tire, it used to be popular back in the 70s, all people would do is buy a tire, if it fish tails or they want more grip, they use a razor or something like an exacto knife to cut small pieces out of the Tread to fix the problem.

[@westcoastmoto2063]

That's awesome, congratulations! I work at a motorcycle dealer for Honda and Suzuki in the parts department and I hope to start doing what your doing.

[@westcoastmoto2063]

I must say you do a great job with explaining and showing the products. keep up the great work, you should get a dealer to let you do there bikes.

[@FortNine]

That's coming up in the next few weeks. You'll get two videos per bike. A first impressions MotoVlog and full review. Doing a XSR900 first :-)

[@nmsvdaf]

Loved the review. You should also review the Airoh Storm. At around 150 euros it's a great buy, and it has a great system for closing the visor to keep the water out in rainy days. Really confortable also.

[@vamsikrishnacv8733]

for carrying children!?!?! dude you deserve your own show. way better class than all those motovloggers out there. wish you would do detailed product reviews.

[@DL-by4tq]

i love your video and as i am in UK i can compare the prices. the LS2 OF569 helmet cost 70£ in uk though. which is a big mark of difference to a 130$ I think. i love the gloves too :) thank you for the video. definitely deserved like and view.

[@benwellard8375]

Nicely done, professional n easy to listen to - good info too.

[@JussT1k]

about the helmets, there is quite a significant difference between the two when it comes to safety I think u should hv mentioned. ls2 makes thermoplastic shells, while nolan is polycarbonate

[@m.henawy]

Justine Gajewska any references for the info?

[@nitrogary8998]

I’ve been using LS2 helmets and overall I feel they are outstanding value and fit.

[@geoffmanning9133]

Your reviews and presentation style rock!

[@RiderForge]

I've been running Shinkos for a while now on everything I can. Great tires. For a medium to smaller bike like a Ninja 650 you can literally get TWO tires for around $120 or even less if you're on something small like a Ninja 250/300. I even ran the Ravens on my GSX-R 750 fantastic mileage and more than enough grip for me on the street.

[@TheKillWizard]

Great video. Your resemblance to the “back pack kid” is uncanny

[@wam44]

I have watched many of your videos-You are very knowledgeable and the vids are well put together-even funny! Curious-do you get paid for your reviews/endorsements? The gloves...I looked on Revzilla they are now around like $29 dollars US. The reviews were not that great-I may still give them a try-Thanks....

[@chenchen8597]

Hey Ryan, are you doing reviews as a hobby or getting paid for your work? I agree, you're channel is underrated. Keep up the good work man! I enjoy the detail you provide.

[@SlimmJim420]

Nice list dude you introduce good gear keep it up

[@someguy5035]

It still blows my mind that there are people out there spending $500+ on helmets and $700+ on jackets. I wear a store brand Sedici viaggio parlar adventure bike helmet. Zero complaints. Performs like a champ. It is very comfortable, has great vis, has vents, has a drop down sun visor, and has bluetooth. It cost me a princely sum of $200. My Cortec jacket cost me $50 on FB marketplace. It is fully armored and has a waterproof liner if it rains.

[@MatterBaby68]

Liked before I even watch the video. Cause you just make quilty vidoes all the time

[@bahamasboy5580]

FortNine has sick prices.I ordera few thing an my tires from them Dunlop Q3 set for the best price, i've ever paid PERIOD!!! the 1 stop shop you should really look into

[@captlarry-3525]

Ryan said in another video that "Motorcycling is an expensive and dangerous hobby", and "who thinks about motorcycle economy, right?" For the first 4 or 5 decades of my motorcycling life, Economy ( read poverty) was one of the main reasons I had a motorcycle ! Often it was ALL we had... so if a 50 or 100 pound sack of Beans or Rice and the Girl Friend needed to go 200 miles home... well we just did. Seems the old BMW's were pretty much made for the job. A Bell shorty and a jean jacket (yes with a scarf) were the gear, then a 3/4 and goggles- 5000 miles through mexico that way, and 20 years ago we went full face, because those were the kind of helmets at garage sales and flea markets, or that came with the new bike. Bit large ? Wear a watch cap underneath, helps with the noise and keeps the ears warm. Anything less than 50 mpg sucked ( and still does), who ever heard of not doing your own work ? But there was no rocket ships in my stable untill the K-100RS and thats when I got the first gear jacket and gave up the wool World War I Army Trench Coat.

[@ice_youtube4448]

the material used for the Nolan is far superior than that used to build the LS2 --> usually the price comes from the materials used, the effort that it takes to design and built (certain parts are handmade) and the design (one extra step that actually is overpriced) love your vids and if I'm wrong please correct me

[@Blue-eg3rz]

Scorpion Yukon is a little more expensive of a jacket, but has held up well and has some very nice features.

[@alicewolf9633]

I love your videos man! You're awesome. A lil question about LS2 helmet. In another video you said that it's better not to buy thermoplastic helmets, and LS2's shell is made exactly of thermoplastic. That's confusing...

Really good bro. Thanks. I am getting the tires and the gloves thanks to you.

[@dwolvin]

Good assessment of that stuff, two questions; What's your go to cheap mesh (or mid-price) jacket, and what do you think of palm sliders on gloves? I love my Knox Orsas ($85!) but wonder if it's just Kool-Aid...

[@JigenX]

Im always telling people Shinkos are a way better tires than the price suggests but people get really caught up one where they're made. Credit for the non-bias.

I am about to puchase a used SHOEI Neotec 2 in mint condition for $100 more than the LS2 you covered here. Noise and cross winds is a concern to me. Which one would you have chosen for me?

Do those gloves just slip on without having the annoying Velcro strips on the wrists that most gloves have?

The LS2 has the logo on all 4 sides of the helmet because of the European legislation which says that you have to have reflecting elements on the side to make you more visible during the night.
