Touratech Aventuro Carbon Pro Helmet First Impressions + Forest Exploring on the 790 Adventure
Рет қаралды 9,057
Ай бұрынTouratech was kind enough to send me their new Aventuro Carbon Pro helmet to check out and what better way to do so than by exploring some local forest roads on my 2024 KTM 790 Adventure? This is just a chill laid back ride through Oregon's Coast Range as I test out the Touratech Aventuro Carbon Pro while looking for campsites at the end of logging roads. Exploring on the 2024 KTM 790 adventure is great because it's easy to ride, has a very manageable seat height, and I have no fear of dropping it because of how easy it is to pick up.

Was looking for this. Bro just tried to save us money by showing us cheaper shades than flying eyes. Now showing us a rebranded helmet that’s exactly the same minutes the stamp. 699 with the addition of the tourotech stamp. He even said it’s not availible otherwise. Thats 🧢 499 on Revzilla right now.

Putting the Molecule skid plate on my 500 was a huge PITA. Fortunately it got easier to remove and put back on over time. Here in northern CA, Sierra Pacific owns a lot of land. It used to be open to the public and there was a lot of amazing riding. A few years ago they closed it all and we lost all those riding areas. They cited people dumping trash and fire danger as the main reasons.

@brad4690 Ай бұрын
I'll never buy a Nexx helmet again after owning an XWed.2. They seem great looking at the feature list, but I've never owned a helmet so cheaply made. I had to Velcro in all of the cheek pads due to garbage lining clips, the visor/peak clips pop off on the road if you even brush them with your hand, I've almost lost my chin vent cover when opening it with gloves on due to it also popping off. It feels like they made a premium shell and then just kept glueing cheap plastic onto it.

I wonder if Madstad would send you a shield to try… They make amazing windshields, theirs was the only one that completely eliminated buffeting on my Africa Twin. Keep the 790 content coming!
@SuninSanDiego Ай бұрын
The madstad on my dr650 is awesome, works wonders with how adjustable it is however on my V85tt the screen doesn't reduce buffeting over stock at all no matter how I adjust it.

Audio is amazing in this helmet man! At least at the lower speeds, it was the first thing I noticed when watching.
@lucinxar2931 Ай бұрын
Ok I didn't watch it all the way through when I commented, it sounds way better with the visor down, but also I do wish you hit some higher speed stuff

My favorite camping spot used to be hard to get to and I only ever saw one person there. You either needed a bike or something with 4wd. They fixed the washout though and now its super popular, and always booked full... bummer

You know, you can film more "mundane" content for some of us. I enjoy this even if there isn't much to it. Just make it a series so those who don't care for it skip it. More views either way, right?
@alainmichaud6747 Ай бұрын
Nice helmet , I got mine the 2023 model 1/2 price you are right its very light but the plastic wing that hold the visor are a pc of s*** had to get extra hope they fixed that on your version Alain & Yellow ( Ryker is home , 2 ride in already ) muffler roar a bit much but that I was looking for now I sound like a Triump.

Was thinking of getting a ktm 790 but read they have been having issues with cam failure. In part due to oiling issues. Any thoughts on how big an issue it is and or if they fixed it ?
@steveh545 Ай бұрын
well, the helmet is cheaper (a lot) than the new Arai. Nothing wrong with my XD-4 though, besides a little weight. I wonder if I have a Touratech shaped head? I lusted after the Krios Pro, when it was THE helmet to have, but it's just the wrong shape for my head, so it wasn't even an option.

Lighter than a Krios you say? That’s impressive. I’m reluctant to move away from my Krios because it’s so light. Build quality on the Klim has been crap.
