Looks like they released the Fly 19 gear today as expected. All looks good, but what’s up with this palm tree/tropical plant theme the brands are going for lol? Either way things are looking good for Fly for 2019 Cool

This is what Keefer has been ranting and raving about on pulp? I'd maybe rock that palm tree gear and that's about it. No offense FLY guys.

I’m not a big fan of still shots but I think it will look good today in real life Moto at Washougal.

Well if TLD can sell the clown polka dots then I don't see a reason why we can't have palm tree gear

One ride in Georgia red clay and anything in the Evolution line will be stained to hell and back. I'm sure some ahole will tell me how I'm wrong and I don't know how to clean my gear properly.

I guess It’s a good thing they’ve got other lines for you to choose from then?

The designs are just redesigns of the past 5 years. I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t spend money on it either.

Same. Definitely not ugly but also not really ''different'' or exciting.

I had the same thoughts and then watched practice this morning and it looks way better on a real person instead of a mannequin. Nice job to you ladies and gents at fly!

Mesh comes out in March. It’s on a different calendar than the rest of the line. Mesh always debuts at Daytona. Brayton won in it.

Lite hydrogen real simple and clean is my favorite look - but ive had the new 19 evo stuff in my hands - and the construction and materials are awesome - even better than last year and I loved last years gear.

Fit with the boa is insane - and longevity and durability has been second to none for the last 4-5 years

The Hawaiian look - while not for everyone - IMHO is going to sell like crazy. I personally love it and wish they had a full color line just for that template - maybe a universal pant with various jerseys.

It's a good time to be a consumer for moto gear - tons of great stuff out there.

Its not a bad looking collection. But i agree, Keefer hyped this up a LOT and it didn't deliver to that level. At least not in my eyes.

Id say that the 18 Fly gear is at least as good looking, maybe even better.

But this is a very subjective topic.

I think the 2018 line was a nock out for the design. 2019 is good but not a nock out. I prefer the FLY not Fly with the logo it seems. It also blows my mind that Fly doesn't have a high end boot. I know WPS works with Alpinestars well but still crazy that a brand that large doesn't have their own version of head to tow.

What did you guys think about the F2 Carbon revision? I was hoping for a more drastic change in this helmet but I guess this is what we got. I thought I saw one of the Fly riders wearing the woven carbon look that I like a lot but I didn't see that on the website.

I personally think the 2017 Lite Hydrogen is the best looking gear that Fly ever made. Interesting color combos but not too over the top. The 2018-19 stuff doesn't really do anything for me design-wise. I just ordered a set of the red 18 hydrogen gear, so I'll see if having it in person changes my opinion. I am looking forward to having the Boa system for sure.

I am a bigger fan of 2018 and 2019 (cleaner, more simple lines) but to each their own!

Hey Tallon, I like the new ones a bit better. We developed these in house from the ground up instead of being "handed" a finished boot and putting a logo on it. These are significantly lighter, has a smaller toebox for better shifter and brake pedal feel, much quicker break-in period, and has a molded sole for that modern look.

The Sector served its purpose but we are much happier creating our own products and being in control of the finished piece.

The 2016 Lite Hydrogen is my favorite ever Fly gear line. Your designers nailed it that year!

For sure. Different strokes for different folks.

I will say I usually don't like patterns on gear, but the palm tree print is growing on me. Cool colorway.
