Based, balanced, informative & fairly comprehensive from a real perspective...your channel deserves more views. If you never hear from me again, all the best in your future endeavours. Great info, thanks.

I've been on the fence about getting this helmet for three months. There isn't that much info or good in depth reviews from guys like you on it yet. Watching your video pushed me over the edge. Just got back from ordering this bad boy from my local Cycle Gear. Thanks!!!

YankiRides, I have to say kudos to you. Your video is one of the best and most entertaining on YT for this particular helmet. Good luck with your channel, and ride on!

Regarding the GoPro mount you can drill a hole in the GoPro sticky mount allowing you to undo the screw below

Excellent choice. When I bought my XT, I considered ordering the ADF from Europe instead, just because of the sun visor and the white with blue and red color scheme, but I don't want to play around with not having that super meaningful DOT sticker on the helmet. If only the US would get with the program and just go along with the ECE rating that actually means something, like MOST of the rest of the world. I had also considered both the Bell MX-9 and the Scorpion AT-950. The 950 is just too heavy, and everything I read said that the MX-9 is very noisy. Even though it was more expensive than the other two, the XT 9000 was the obvious choice, simply because of the features you get for the money. I can live without the flip down internal visor because sunglasses actually fit well in the helmet, and they do the trick if I have the clear shield on. I'm also in GA, so I tend to just keep the tinted face shield on, only swapping if I'll be in the dark. A tip for swapping out the face shield, undo the top connection on the peak and rotate the peak up out of the way. It will be a lot easier to man-handle the face shields off and on. As for the action cam adapter, try this: Take the whole thing off, while it's off, mark a new GoPro adapter using the hole in the plate as a template, then drill an access hole through it. Stick the adapter to the plate, carefully lining up the holes, and screw it back onto the helmet.

Hell yeah. Digging the way you tackled the structure of the video. I also agree with regards to the sun shades. Beauner out✌🏻😎

Got one a couple days ago. was on the fence a little but have no regrets after taking the plunge. The pump isn't applicable to me but the fact it came with a smoke visor and a camera mount tipped the scales, the titanium d rings pushed me over the edge.

Bought the Euro version with the drop down sun visor for just over $400 from ChromeBurners. Shipped from the Netherlands and delivered in 5 days. Super happy with the helmet! Also had the AT-950.

On the mount, you just push the gopro mount hard on the helmet plate, the 3m tape without removing the film, will get a mark, where screw is, use it as reference and drill a small hole the size of the bolts, then remove the film and stick it to the plate, sometimes its not a pain in the ass but we just need to think a bit harder to find the solution to a problem

I definitely need a new helmet in a year. pads are shot - coming up past 5 years of ownership - just not sure which one to get. so this helps. even though I am not in the adv side just yet. was looking at a modular but we shall see. keep up the fun vids.

I would love to get the 3D printed plate with the mount!

I can't believe they didn't incorporate the EXO Bluetooth headset. I own it and I'm mad. I geared up for the first time in forty years, and didn't realize there are options like built-in controls. What are you using?

Just curious, Did the helmet have enough space to use the Clip mount for the Cardo packtalk? and are the speakers behind the pad or on the pad? (earpad) Just got my XT9000 in the same color and I love it! thank you for the video.

8:53 AWWWWWWWWW YEEEEAAHHHHHH BOY I HEARD MY NAME!!!!

Great review! Thank you. I’ve been thinking hard about this helmet since I tried one on 4 months ago. I’m waiting for the Arai XD-5 to hit stores before I make a decision. One thing I wanted to ask: other reviews mention the weird lip/edge on the bottom of the shield makes it difficult/distracting to run the shield one detent up from fully closed because it distorts your vision. Have you found this to be an issue for you? I typically like to ride with my visor/shield cracked open one detent since I ride with prescription glasses and it helps with fogging.

Does it have Also different Shell sizing???

Great format, editing, and video quality. I like the pop in questions and helmet stats. Lots of respect for you guys creating videos for us, I just uploaded my first video ever no idea what I'm doing. Go check it out see how bad I suck.

Prob a dumb question but what's the purpose of the visor in the helmet anyway?

Does the XT9000 fit the same as the AT960? Like, is the internal shape the same? I really want to try this helmet, but the AT960 doesn't fit my head shape well.

I live in Tokyo Japan, how is XT this helmet over 100°f and humid? I have to import, so I can't take any risks.

Does this one have the slots for the Scorpion com system? Supposed to make cardo attachment a pain

If anyone from Scorpion sees this, me and @YantoSP have decided to let you sponsor us. #ScorpionSimps #Smort
