Following Nick on his 2 stroke. Wild man rides that thing sideways 90% of the time. Good back and forth. And for all you Stark sound complainers, there's a good 2 stroke sound track for ya.

    how are flameouts with this bike? did you add a flywheel weight? how do you like it for single track usage ?

    • @japandrz
      @japandrz 2 месяца назад

      The newer 23+ bikes don't flameout as bad as the older KTM bikes in my opinion. Its still a big 450 though and requires clutch work to modulate the power down and keep it chugging along at lower speeds. It does very well in moderate to higher speed single track but can be a hand full in super low speed singlet rack. I find it to be surprisingly versatile. This is the XC race bike so it really prefers faster pace riding. There is no flywheel weight in this bike. I still have this bike along with a Stark Varg. I like the bike and won't sell it.

    • @japandrz

      Its a great experience, so different to a gas bike. I took my 23 Husky FX 450 out to that same trail the previous weekend. There was no comparison. I'll always love my gas bikes but when I have the choice of what to take, I always take the Varg. At a moderate trail pace it will do 34-40 miles of OHV type trail. If I want more time in I bring my generator and charge it on breaks. Honestly though, I'm usually worn out before the bike is out of juice. Everyone who has ever ridden it is blown away by it. Instantly stops a critic and changes their mind.

      @@EddiNice They have come down in price. I think $2500 now. They are good for 1000+ full charge cycles. I have 48 hours on the bike and I have not seen any battery degradation. I charge on a slow rate when the bike is at home. Cost me less that $1 to "refill" the bike. I ride the bike in Hard Enduro, SIngletrack, MX, Double track. I ride it all. The bike is incredibly flexible. Obviously I would not dual sport the bike or take it on a long distance desert ride. For 99% of the riding I do, the range has not been an issue.

I honestly thought we were gonna have to walk back. And then just grit my teeth and sent it. Can't believe I made it out. Lmao

      Oakey gets more and more gnarly each year. Its very challenging for an OHV. The lake side is more tame but people get caught in the Clarkesville side. Glad you made it out ok! Ive got several videos up of the more challenging sections.

      @japandrz totally agree. It doesn't look crazy on video but when you're on 3 wheels sideways, or riding the edge of the embankment, trying to keep out of those HUGE ditches it's pretty nerve wracking. I've ridden 4wheeler almost all my life, but that's way above my pay grade. Especially when we got caught in that big ass storm yesterday. Those hill climbs turned into rivers. And the big mud hill climb where it's like 4 separate hills one after another those ditches were 1ish foot deep on the way in, but from the rain they were almost 2ft deep. Haha
