I like to think that the only time Ryan is on the internet is when he's working on a video. Kind of like how the mechanics are clones, except, instead of being a clone, he only exists on the internet for videos, and outside of that, there's no proof of his existence. He just goes to his home dimension and does other dimensional things

@theenglandguy Ай бұрын

People, remember the Darmstadt machine only tests abrasion on a "calibrated concrete block" that is smoother than most asphalt or chip+seal surfaces, with a (IIRC) 4cm drop. While the RPM might "math-out" to 45/70/120kph, Darmstadt and EN17092 does not make for a good abrasion testing standard. EN13595 (Cambridge), the older standard, was lobbied away/discontinued (depending on who you ask) because it was too tough to pass, and it replicated asphalt better, with 60 grit sandpaper. A simple look at Australian govt's MotoCAP testing (again, Cambridge) shows many AA/AAA fabrics having abysmal abrasion resistance, mainly textiles. This also doesn't cover the fall + slide mechanics of motorcycle crashes. Many low-tenacity textiles burst or rip open from the initial impact, exposing the meat underneath. No standard has included drop + abrasion (yet), but Darmstadt CANNOT test for it, while Cambridge can. In short: Ryan, saying AA/AAA equals a "rolling speed" is, IMO, a sign you should read up on those standards (and the associated physics) more. For all others, keep in mind your moto clothing is a very good step in the right direction for protection, but bringing EN13595 back is the best way we could get ratings that actually show how protective our gear is against sliding, instead of the current "smoke and mirrors" 17092.

@pamvarnsverry2444 Ай бұрын

I tend to agree with your comments - sadly the standards are never going back to EN13595 any time soon ( it suits way too many manufacturers to leave alone ) keep in mind that it was a voluntary standard at first the complaints came when it was made mandatory, which generally means easement. Australia bought into the EN13595 standard that existed at that time 2012??? if they had waited they might be saddled with EN17092 as well - but change costs. It is good to have the comparison. The UK government has an ideal opportunity to alter/ revise the standard in the UK - they won`t it costs to much and requires a will that is lacking at the moment. 1984 - 2024 40 years have passed and we appear to be going backwards for the next generation of motorcyclists protection!!!!

IIRC, one of the criticisms of the EU rating system is that you have to declare which test you want to pass before you take it. If you say AA and only pass A, you get nothing. If you put something that could pass AAA in for the A test, you still only get A. So, AA doesnt mean "45 - 70," it means "we were only confident enough to pay for the 45 test."

The vents on the face shield are not for clearing fog from the face shield. If you open the face shield, you'll see small ducts behind where these vents sit. To my knowledge, those vents are guided toward your temples since there are a lot of veins close to the skin there, which enhances the body-cooling effect of the ventilation. This was implemented on Arai helmets to avoid drilling holes in the forehead of the helmet for ventilation, because the forehead is a high risk impact area and holes in the shell at the forehead reduce safety.
