hello I'm Ryan F9 and these are the most
underpriced motorcycle helmets because
our economic pool is chilly and our PPS
are shrinking
[Music]
consider the hjcc10 this lid was made to
be 100.
100 USD 100 British pounds being able to
pay with a single bill is a massive
selling point
but what does it cost not lightness at
15 25 grams hac's polycarbonate
composite Rivals fiberglass not features
either the picture window is pin lock
ready it's detented one two three four
five six seven eight nine and ten times
the vents vent the padding removes my
speakers slot in this is as helmety as
the helmetiest helmets that ever
helmeted what scares me is the unseeable
s word our 100 C10 is ECE 2206 approved
sticker dot in North America well
something like the thousand dollar arfa
1n
fim approved the difference of falling
head feels will shock you and we can
give that impression right now with dead
people and monkeys see there are three
models for analyzing helmets 1972
originated the head injury Criterion for
which scientists threw dead people
against the wall at various speeds
consider donating your body to research
today the resulting formula allows
helmet testers to measure a dummy head's
acceleration over time and get a hick
score the head injury Criterion models
the likelihood of death of course you
can check if a cadaver skull is
fractured but you can't ask it whether
it has a headache so in 2013 scientists
gave a bunch of monkeys concussions
Savage I know but it resulted in the
critical angular velocity numbers and
using this formula helmet testers can
measure a dummy head's rotation to get a
brick score the brain injury Criterion
models the likelihood of concussions of
course dead people are not live people
and monkeys are not people at all so
today we look at real living people with
really well-documented crashes to create
a numerical model with extremely high
but finite elements a supercomputer then
matches the simulation with the actual
medical diagnosis to generate an sfc it
sounds fancy but the skull fracture
Criterion is basically just a modernized
Hicks
so here's the Straight Dope ECE 2205
tests hick but not brick it's the best
2003 had to offer but retailers will
legally be able to sell 2205 helmets up
until
2024. don't buy one because ECE 2206
Lids are now available they pass both
translational hick and rotational brick
tests like our hjcc10 here now what if I
am publicized for their Phase 2 standard
would have been incredible a massive
reduction in both hick and brick scores
it would have pissed off manufacturers
to Mark the safest 0.1 percent of
helmets in the world but fim let me down
see phase two actually delivers this
identical brick limits a 0.4 kilo rad
per second Square reduction in Peak
rotational acceleration which is the
engineering equivalent of deck all and a
switch from hick to sfc which is kind of
like using jazz hands to distract from
the fact that fim is basically identical
to ECE 2206 so the shocking difference
your falling head feels is nothing no
difference at all in Europe and most of
the world where this is ECE 2206
approved I would just as happily crash
in the hundred dollar C10 as in the
thousand dollar fim homologation a sad
State for the motorcycle industry but a
happy day for cheap bastards who never
had a thousand dollars to be in with if
I could muster 300 I'd go for the agv
k1s also ECE 2206 approved but agv
offers a more desirable shape it looks
weird and wrong on the table because agv
more than anyone molds for Moto GP this
dropped chin bar acts opposite to a
car's front diffuser creating two
channels of high flow low pressure
lifting the airframe to weightlessness
at speed that shape was wind tunnel
derived for the 700 agv K5 as was the
ultravision iport extra vertical range
for seeing on the straights and on the
brakes and then the rear spoiler comes
from the 1500 piece to GP it's
unreasonably well molded for a 300 shape
the only way agv can afford to put a
Frugal price on a fancy shell is to make
less of them see most helmets use three
shell sizes one for extra small and
small one for medium and large and
another for XL and double XL that way
everyone gets a helmet size that roughly
matches their head size but on the k1s
only two if you're a medium or a double
XL lucky you you get an expensively
molded shell that is as small as
possible but if you're a large or an
extra small you're sharing that bracket
with the bobble heads I love this
exercise in making a sport helmet as
cheap as possible just know that it only
works if you have the right headsets
for those of us with a micro head or a
fat head a block hand a [ __ ] any
type of head in any type of helmet
there's flying eyes
the paper thin endlessly bendable and
indestructible frames make my Ray-Bans
look like porcelain cheers to Flying
Eyes for sponsoring this video and for
making sunglasses with helmetability
as the first priority
click the link below now let's put a
bell end on this video with Scorpion's
EXO 8960 the worst sequel since my
second wife at 1 860 grams it's heavier
than a marmot and yes heavier than its
predecessor yet the peak is somehow
flimsier so flimsy that it now shakes in
the breeze
I have heard multiple accounts of this
vibrating the screws loose then it's
Presto Alfresco at 120 kilometers an
hour
scorpion also added a port for their
proprietary communicator and moved the
sunshade mechanism beside it to [ __ ]
block anyone hoping to mount their cardo
it's a shitty rendition but the original
song still sounds good an ADV helmet a
touring helmet and an open helmet all
the tricks of a schuberth E2 for half
the price so let's show some
appreciation for the 960. if only
because I put the old 950 on sale
scorpion is scrambling to get these
Beauties sold for 300 bucks so the
public quickly forgets how much better
they were than this 400 upgrade act fast
and you can snag a steal even in Europe
where this is the adx2 there are still
some adx ones sitting on shelves
reservation is that the previous version
was certified to ECE 2205 and we know
that's passe but having gutted both
helmets I think the protection layers
are identical the few extra grams are
just due to the new chin bar lock
mechanism since ECE 2206 demands to test
modular helmets in the open position
so hjc's C10 is as cheap as it gets and
as safe as they come with agv's k1s 300
buys a shell or a 700 but agv saved only
manufacturing two shell sizes so make
sure your head is on the upper end of
one of those brackets and Scorpion's EXO
8960 is depressing but its feeble
existence helps us save 100 on its
predecessor
thank you very much
