Thank you so much guys for watching my videos, you ROCK 🤟 
Авто/Мото
The thing is this is true off road. I can't believe how good riders you are - and that is the point: We are not lied to, but many people lie to themselves about their true riding skills.
Holy crap, I can't imagine what you could do with my 701 - things I can only dream of doing...
Thanks a million times for doing it in English - subtitles also work well. Great idea showing the bruises and the tips along with the main footage, it just works so well.
I really hope your channel blows up and that you make three videos a week :D
Cheers from Denmark!
Oh Peter… that’s probably the kindest comment I’ve ever read about my content. I’m so grateful for such a positive feedback and I thank you so much for it.
About making it in English, there’s two opinions. Those who thank me for doing it in English just like you did. And those who say I should keep my native French and stop speaking English because nobody understands what iam saying and my accent is sh**. So… I’m torn between the two haha. But I think it makes it more accessible, no matter how bad my accent or pronunciation is..
Anyway, I’m thinking of getting on a 890 do get into more hard stuff, and gain 30kg… I haven’t made up my mind yet.. the 701 is a beast but too « light » for my everyday commuter.
Thank you again for your comment, it’s a blessing to read it.
@@alexislecarb Please do your video in English for broader reach and those people saying you should speak in French is because they don't know any languages other than their own.
BTW just bought the 2023 KTM 890 R and i own a 690 & 500...the 890 is a weapon 🔥, you should go for it (i sold my 1290 after not even a year...it's a road bike 😉too top heavy)
oh and subscribed 👍
@@mototrailz oh thank you so much!!!! It was a struggle to decide between French as my native langage and English since I don’t speak it fluently, but I thought going for English would make more sense as it would make it more accessible to other riders around the world. And even though I don’t speak a perfect English with the perfect accent, I try my best to be understandable and I’m super grateful to read your comments that makes me feel right about pursuing these videos in English! So, thank you for taking the time to share your opinion!!!
And about the 890, indeed I’ve made my decision, and I’m going for it!!!
@@mototrailz awesome!!!
It's not a video. Is a film! Great work! Loved watching 👌🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much my man! Appreciate that a lot
I don't think I've seen anyone else ride their KTM SAR through such extremes like you have . That was hard . Great video and even better teammates.
Naaah I’m sure there’s a ton of riders doing it just like that! Just not « documented »! I hope so in any case! Anyway, thank you so much for your comment man, I’m grateful for it 🙌🏼
I'm so scared to drop my 1290R offroad, but watching this I really should not worry too much :P
Amazing video, great work!
Hahahha nooo!! Don’t be!! It’s fully protected and robust! Never broke something yet 🤞🏼
I too have the fear of dropping my big ADV. My 900 Tiger has loads of protection but I still worry about dropping it. My 701 though, utterly battered, slid down hills, thrown in rivers, smacked with rocks, ridden to the Arctic North of Finland to boulder fields in the Atlas mountains. Maybe think about getting a bike you don't worry about dropping? My 701 has engine bars and Bark Busters. I've dropped it a hundred times or more in 7 years. The worst damage? One set of terminally bent handlebars. And a bit of a broken shoulder for me.
@Pekka Puupää I would love to start ride enduro. If not, I will probably buy a smaller cheaper offroader to abuse as you said.
@@peternilsson2270 the 701 is a handful to ride. It isn't a good introduction to off road. Too heavy and too powerful. It really is an off road capable light adventure bike for most riders. Honda CRF is placid and quick to sell on, but proper dirt riding is like crack cocaine. You start, and then you want the next hit. I've got the Husqvarna FE350 which is brilliant fun and a lot easier to ride in dirt than the 701.
Who told you that these are offroad bikes? Physics are working against heavy bikes and there is nothing you can do about it. You learned it the hard way.
But you three are really good guys and a great team; that is what counts.
Reading your comment, I assume you haven't watched the video 🤷🏼♂️ (Oh, and.. manufacturers told me 🤗)
Thank you for the edited kind words about the team buddy!
This is some really hard terrain. All the leaves with it being wet and rocks underneath probably made for some seriously slick surfaces for a ton of this riding. Would be a challenge regardless but certainly difficult on a 520 lb 1290 SAR. Props for seeing it through. Somebody else said Chris Birch moves the 1290 SAR so well, but that guy is straight pro and just amazing. He shows the very upper limit of what is possible, but most people don’t ride for a living. You guys went at a hard task and pushed through. Nice work.
Thank you for sharing your insights buddy!! the terrain was indeed really tough tbh, one of my most difficult ride that’s for sure. But when you do it with great people, that makes the whole difference. Anyway, thank you also for sharing a positive feedback! Many people don’t understand why we do it with big bikes and are mean to us 😂😂
I love the fakt, that you guys are just a regular riders like as, not the pros like Birch and still pussing the limits and not giving up 👌💪🤞
Exactly!! Random riders doing some stupid stuff with regular bikes! 🤪
Well done. It has been a pleasure to watch ! Thks u guys, keep posting your adventure on bike ;)
Will do for sure!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🙏🏼
We have been waiting for this video for a long time..... But WOW what an amazing style of driving and editing 😎
Thank you so much Loic!! Appreciate the kind words about my content!! Looking forward to the next adventure 🫡
I just finished watching your documentary, and wow, I'm still catching my breath! I had to drop you a note to say how utterly blown away I am by your incredible journey through those seriously challenging trails with those beastly bikes.
The physical effort you poured into every twist and turn was nothing short of superhero-level. Major respect! But what really stole the show for me was the undeniable friendship that shone through. Your camaraderie and unwavering support for each other turned what could've been a crazy adventure into a heartwarming tale of shared passion and teamwork.
Your video brilliantly captured the highs and lows of your experience in such a positive light. It wasn't just about conquering trails; it was about embracing the unexpected, pushing boundaries, and creating memories that'll last a lifetime.
Watching you guys find so much joy in the journey left me with a huge grin on my face. Your enthusiasm was infectious, and it's a powerful reminder of the magic that happens when you combine friendship with the thrill of adventure.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride and for reminding us all that the road less traveled is where the most unforgettable adventures unfold.
Ride on,
Pascal
PS: Great editing on your content.
I can’t believe how kind and supportive your comment is. I cannot express how grateful I am to have you as one of the viewer of this video. I’ve read your message several times and it’s been a blessing. Thank you for the bottom of my heart. I’m glad you enjoyed it and your description reflects my intentions to the point. It’s all about challenging yourself but with the right team and people. That’s what makes the whole difference. Thank you for this interaction 🤯
je ne conaissais pas ta chaine...tu m'as veendu du reve, des emotions, des sensations mais aussi de la niak, de l'envie de sortir et de me pousser plus fort que la derniere fois!! merci pour ta video!! ne change pas!
C’est tellement gentil ton commentaire !!!! Merci 🤩🙏🏼
wow man, just looking at that was pretty hard! very nice work, incredible video and adventure!
Thank you my man!! Appreciate that a lot !! Very encouraging to read such comments. Would you have come along??
Thanks for sharing a real experience. Think that's the only vid on whole YT showing the reality of taking an "adventure" bike offroad.
Thank you for taking the time to comment my video buddy!! Truly appreciate the positive feedback!! I think there's tons of riders out there taking the adventure bike offroad, but we tried to document it for once!
You guys are fantastic riders and are absolutely talented in cinematography. Absolutely epic. Can't wait for more.
Thank you so much my friend ! I appreciate the positive feedback and the kind words regarding my content 🙌🏼 I’m looking forward to the next one as well !!
Crazy! Respect guys. That looked really tough😊
Thank you so much!! It was tricky for some parts indeed!! Would you have come along?? 😬
@@alexislecarb no chance! I have a triumph tiger 1200 RE but much prefer roads these days. Great video though. I have “liked” and “subscribed”!
Great video, very inspiring! Can’t wait to go to France again this year and look for some offroad tracks… See how our two Tiger 1200 Rally Pro handle themselves (my wife and I both ride one). Thanks guys
Thank you for taking the time to comment my video!! and a big thank you for the kind words regarding my content. I am sure your tire 1200 RallyPro will handle the terrain better than you expect! Have tons of fun and be safe out there!
Merci de nous avoir emmenés et merci pour cette super aventure. Salutations d'Allemagne. 😊👍🏻
Merci d’avoir pris le temps de commenter Marc!!! Et ravi que la vidéo t’ait plu!
Brilliant and honest film- thank you. Great to see the 1290 being used properly for a true adventure- respect. I love that you guys are eating tinned cassoulet on the trail- that's why I love the French- class :)
Hahaha thank you so much man! Love the positive feedback and vibe! Not so sure about that French class though hahah
Keep spreading good vibes buddy! Ride safe and hope to see you in a trail some times
What a great video Alexis! it's the definition of adventure! Thank you for sharing with us your trips. Keep going....Greeting from Greece..
Thank you so much my friend. It's rewarding to read such a positive comment after spending so much time editing! Glad you enjoyed it that muuch. I'll keep them coming for sure!! To the next one then!
Your cinematography and story telling are great 👍 - thank you for sharing :)
Thank you so much for the positive feedback buddy 🫡
Magnifique ! Le HDT en gros trail, c'est déjà chaud quand c'est sec. Mais là, en conditions humides, vous êtes fous d'y être allés. En tout cas, très beau film. Merci
C'est clair!!! Tellement d'accord. Mais une des difficultés pendant l'event c'est aussi le nombre de participants! Du coup on a "trader" le nombre de participants pour un temps relativement pourri (humide et froid), mais c'était une belle partie de rigolade!! Merci d'avoir pris le temps d'écrire ton commentaire!!
Inspirational stuff, right up there with Ewan and Charlie. Cant wait for the next one.
Thank you so much for this comment buddy. The comparison to these two big riders super nice as well ;)
Toujours au rdv pour en profiter visuellement 😁🥰
Trop sympa d’écrire ça!! Merci JOJO ❤️
Franchement, propre vraiment top je commence à prévoir mes sorties offroad la c’est bon après 1 mois d’arrêt tu m’a motivé merci
Oh ça c’est trop cool de lire ça!!! Nous on repart début mars !! Trop hâte aussi 💪🏼 tu vas aller où alors ?
What can I say.... simply amazing! You guys rock! I would have stopped the tour after the first kilometers I think. But you are tough, fit and in a good group of riders. Like everything a lot!!! 🤙🏼😍
Thank you so much my man!! Appreciate your support since the first day! It means a lot!!!
All part of the adventure! I’d have gone lighter and like you said, with the most aggressive tires possible. Uphill speed is tough, especially with a mate in front of you. I know you had to get back but I like to make camp by 4:00-4:30 and rest.
Thank you buddy for taking the time to comment! Indeed, the most aggressive tire, and the lighter the better, but it's also the fun part!! As far as I am concerned, I like to take some breaks during the day, but to ride as long as possible at night!! Thank you for sharing your experience my friend!
Whoa!!! That was awsome!!! Great videography and commentary. Cheers from Denver Colorado USA.
Thank you buddy!!! It’s awesome to have US-based people reacting positively to the commentary work!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!!
Great watching this video, being a off-road wannabe. You guys are very determined and friendship helps a lot. The adventure is clear, and the moisty underlayer covered with sharp rocks a fact in the mountains. I am a jealous, because you just do it. Hope your third man is fine.
Friendship is the most important part according to me! Thank you so much for the positive vibes you sent out! Appreciate that Jan! Cheers to you!
Man, I give you guys credit for trying. I am especially impressed with all of your attitudes toward the crashes etc. Maybe its just editing but you accepted the damage to your machines in stride. I finally came to the conclusion that it was not worth the damage and the struggle to try and push a 500+lb bike past what it was designed for. I ended up buying a Beta 390 for this stuff, Husky 701 for adv riding. I also own a GS which I would never take off road on anything but minor trails, fire roads etc. I love seeing Chris Birch make it look easy but we only see his successes not his crashes for the most part. I have owned two 1290 ADV-R's and loved them both. I just don't think there will ever be a perfect bike do do it all but I give KTM credit, they are the closest. I am wavering on selling the GS for another 1290, I find my GS boring and sterile....very cool machine but BMW's have never had the fun factor of a KTM unfortunately. Great vid and congrats on finishing!!
Thank you Chris for your thorough comment! I appreciate that a lot. You have to accept crashes as soon as you put your tires offroad. No matter the bike. And when you accept it, it becomes - not funny - but acceptable hahaha
But I've switched to the 890 R also for this reason. I feel like riding an enduro now.
I used to have a GS as well and I 100% agree with you on the fun factor of the KTM in comparison!!
Man loving the quality of your videos so much! Great story telling, great shots! What reflex and POV cam are you using? Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much my friend! It's encouraging to read this.
I'm using a Canon R5 as a reflex and GoPro Hero 7 for POV shots!
@@alexislecarb Nice! the Hero 7 does a great job actually!
@@JRidesTheWorld it does!!
Merci beaucoup mon ami, what a fantastic adventure video! It reminds of exactly the same riding I did back in my 20’s and 30’s in Australia so brings back great memories! These days I ride a 901 but at 72 my adventure riding will be easier dirt roads LOL
I’d be so excited to ride in Australia!!! Better watch out for all that wildlife though I guess 😂
Congrats on keeping riding at 72, I’ll tell my dad right away 😎 ride safe buddy, and thank you so much for the positive words!
The best adventure movie I have seen, ever! Thanks for the effort speaking English, makes it much easier for me. Thanks a lot and the least I can do is to subscribe to your channel. Great commentating as well!😊
Thomas!!! Man your support is incredible! Thank you so much. I’m glad you find it valuable that I make it in English. Now just gotta keep pushing!!
Hey, Alex, thank you very much for these great videos and for the passion you put into them and everything, you can see it in every minute of the videos and I have to say, you really got me hooked on joining the adventure riding segment myself go and this year I'll get another one and then have my own experience.
Thank you very much and have fun with your friends and always have a safe and safe journey.
All the Best
🤙🏼
Thank you so much for this super kind comment my friend!! The adventure segment is truly special, for so many reasons : the riding experience, the efforts you put into the riding and the adventure, the camaraderie, the exploration and discovery, it's truly mind blowing. Be careful, once you get into it, you might find it tough to get out!!
I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. Have you watched the Nordkapp video? Or Romania?
@@alexislecarb Hey, Alex, thank you very much for the great tips and I will definitely take them into account and yes, I've already seen all of your videos and I'm looking forward to the next ones, thanks for everything.
Cheers mate!!@@croracer1987
Nice video guys, looked like a challenging but rewarding trip! Make sure you air down the tires some (not too much) and keep speed up on climbs. You were going way too slow on some climbs which is a no go on big bikes. Also changing sprockets to add a few extra teeth helps tremendously with hill climbs. Have fun and be safe!
Wow! Got tired just watching that, liked and subscribed, greetings from Norway!
Hahahha love that feeling !! Discovered a little part of Norway last year! Have you come to FRANCE already?
@@alexislecarb Did a bit of France in '20 loved it, and so many friendly people, planning to go back this summer :)
@@toreugelstad909 super nice! If you come to paris, I’ll be happy to share a beer!
@@alexislecarb Heh, I'm not sure I dare ride into Paris, may not find the way out again, but thanks for the offer. We are planning on the west coast of France down to the Pyrinees this summer...
Félicitation! tout est au top dans tes vidéos! tout les petits détails sont bien léchés! Tu dois vraiment t'éclater a monter tout ça. En tout cas si tu passe en Lorraine ça serait un plaisir de rouler ensemble!
Oh merci beaucoup ! C’est trop sympa de lire ça!! Pour le montage, parfois au contraire c’est vraiment chiant de trouver le fil narrateur ou les rush qui vont bien mais une fois postée je suis content !!
Avec plaisir d’aller rouler en Lorraine!!
What an advendure... Am exhausted just watching ! 😅🤙
Hahahah excellent!! Glad you enjoyed it my friend! Hope it didn't cause you a medical issue though :D
Bravo et belles performances les mecs ! Chaud en gros trail le HDT mais " you dit it "🔥
Merci David!! Tout est dans la tête. La moto c'est pas le problème ;)
La prochaine avec la team crampons?
On se voit ce soir?
Love it! I have both the 990 and the 1290 Super Adventure. These bikes are more capable than what our abilities are. From track racing to single-track enduro style riding, they live up to their reputation.
I know what you going through, you guys are awesome 🫵🥳
Just be safe whatever you do 🙂
Ahahha thank you!!!
Crikey, thats some tough riding ... well done for getting through :)
There was some tricky parts indeed! But these bikes can tackle any terrain it seems!
🤯 This is such an amazing production! I am not an experienced adventure rider, and after my experience riding my BMW F800 GSA solo in the bush, I made the move to a KTM 500 EXCF, this film completely supports the reason why. You guys are hard-core! This is real adventure riding at its finest! 👍🏼👊🏼💥🔥🙌🏼🔥
Hahahah thank you so much my friend!! Indeed, from 800GS to 500 EXCF, quite the opposite !! I bet you must have tons of fun with the enduro/MX one.
Bravo pour ce vidéos, ça donne envie et j'ai déjà hâte de voire le prochain
Merci pour ce commentaire!! Si ça te donne envie de rouler, ma mission est accomplie 💪🏼🫡
Absolute balls of steel!! or maybe just crazy! Great video that shows what reality really is on a big adventure bike.
Hell yeah mate!! Big adventure bikes can be challenging but still bring tons of fun$
Very good video mate. Indeed these bikes can handle such agressive routes as you shown but the more heavy they are the more requires to the rider, Chris Birch moves the 1290sar like no one, but you know…
I drop mine several times as well in less difficult terrains, so that indicates clearly that I need more practise and need to buy something lighter to get more offroad skills. Fix maxitrails is quite expensive 😅
Chris Birch is from another planet... Fortunately, I've never broken stuff on the 1290 !
Super vidéo, montage et aventure🙌🏽 j’ai adoré! Vous avez le même esprit d’aventure et folie que moi😂 super!!
Hahaha c’est ça qu’on AIME !!! 💪🏼🔥
Toujours un régal de regarder tes videos ! Vs êtes sacrement énervés 😅
j’ai hate d’avoir ma 890 AdvR pour cette année !
Keep safe ✌️
Merci Bastien d’avoir pris le temps de regarder la vidéo!! Trop cool ton commentaire!! C’est décidé, je vais passer aussi sur la 890 R 2023!! Au plaisir de rouler ensemble!!
Hope Jose is alright by now. Crazy ride and well made video. Respect from Chiang Mai THAILAND

@alexislecarb ja for sure🙂🍻 maybe we see us once somewhere on the TET
I’d love that!!
bloody great video, well done on the project and all your achievements - great skills combined boys , tremendous efforts on such large machines :-) - answer to the question: they do not lie, yes the bikes can do the adventure, many riders cannot
Ooh thank you!! Man, your comment is so nice. And I agree with your answer to the question! We tried to do it anyway!
@@alexislecarb i think i would even have to consider many options on my exc500 - some seriously slippery stuff hiding in the ground - well done
God damned, what an epic ride! You are so brave to go through that Adventure with such big bikes. I got a 1290 SAR, no doubt it can do it, but not me... 😀 Thank you for this video 👍
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment Christian!! Truly appreciate the positive support!! Bikes are indeed not the limiting variable! Just switched to the 890R though ..
Magnifiques les gars !!! Montage au top comme d’habitude !!!!
Merci mon pote!! La prochaine avec toi 🫡
You guys have great chemistry! I love your video's!
I am going to ride TET from Le Havre to Paris within 3 weeks! I hope some parts are good :)
Really????? this section is one of the best TET tracks not too far from Paris! I've done it dozens of times!! My parents live 30 km from the track around the little town Gacé.

Aaah ça, ça fait plaisir!! C’est tout le but de partager ces vidéos avec vous! Trop content que ça te donne envie d’aller rouler!
Wonderful video and very inspiring storytelling! Thanks for sharing. We all know that our bikes outperform us selves. Most important with Adv bikes is that they are capable, that means that they are built to manage a sections you may need to get thru. If this type of riding is the typical riding for every ride, it more fun with other bikes. Great achievements in a beautiful landscape and now You know that You will make it, but also the risks if You would try on a solo ride. Definitely a Sub on your channel. Cheers! 💪🍺
Oh man! I'm grateful for your kind words! I agree about the definition of adventure bikes. And indeed, this type of riding is what I try to do the most so… I also agree about getting something lighter, and I’m thinking of the 2023 890 R 🤷🏼♂️
@@alexislecarb The 2023 890 Adv R is a beauty and a beast, but still a pig on the most demanding trails. But a very capable and fun pig! 😂🙌
Naaah I don’t think so. I’ve never had to turn away with the 1290. Just is lots of sport. So I guess everything is doable easily with the 890 🤞🏼
@@alexislecarb It will, thats why i'm happy with this plattform. The 1290 SAR is lower though so in some situations it actually gives confidence. Pending what You are used to ofc. Thst was something I took away from testriding the 1290 SAR. But I rather lift the 890 😂. You will be happy with it and really feel how more agile the 890 feels. Bet You allready know this ofc.
What’s ur extra light bracket? Hand made?
it's a mix of amazon brackets! just bought a couple of products and mixed them together
What a great vídeo! Thank you for this 💪
Thank you for taking the time to comment your appreciation buddy!!
really nice vid!! good montage, its like watching a movie!! and the bikes...? holy sh!t those are made realy tough! glad u guys made it safe home!!
Agreed to that my friend!! These bikes are insane and very capable. Anyone telling me otherwise hasn’t ridden the way we have. I Appreciate a lot the kind words about my content my man! Thank you for the positive feedback
@alexislecarb it's incredible!! Last summer I bought myself a ktm 990 adventure, always rode Harleys, now the harley stays in the garage, and I ride the ktm daily for work, I'm going to install some offroad tires onto the ktm and starting to do my travels on non paved roads!! Keep the content comming !!!
@@TheKniferaped i Will for sure!! I’m trading the 1290 for the new 2023 890, so I think I’ll have an even better time on the bike now that it is lighter! Can’t wait to ride again and rip some mud
I am from India and now am 18. me and my 2 friends gonna be rich and purchase our dream adv mine is ktm 890r and will adventure just like u guys . And I like ur filming, storytelling,in between acting childish with ur friends i love u
Thank you Akhill!
I like the format ! Well done
Appreciate that buddy!!
You guys are nuts!😂 Great riding.
Hahaha we’ve been told yes 😝
Looks like you’re suspension was to stiff for the terrain but was an awesome video I watch it all 🎉
I agree!! Thank you!! Feel free to share the video to support the channel.
Salut les gars
Je vous félicite pour cette vidéo très passionnante et honnête.
Je conduis moi-même une 1290 SAS depuis des années, mais je ne m'aventurerais jamais sur le terrain de cette manière. Je suis déjà tombé sur la gueule en faisant de l'enduro.
Je vais très probablement acheter la 890R Adventure. J'ai vu ta vidéo. Cool.
Je te suis avec intérêt et beaucoup d'humour. Continue comme ça. Merci.
😁
Hyper hyper sympa ton commentaire!!! Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de l'écrire et le poster. La 1290 est une machine de guerre, mais effectivement la 890 est bien plus adaptée! Merci pour tes mots d'encouragements en tout cas!!
by the way i would ride the trail happily on my exc500 but NOT on those machines hahahahaa, sacre bleu and chapeau to you
Ahhahaha thank you buddy! Appreciate that! Maybe one day I’ll head towards lighter CC like MX or enduro bikes 🤷🏼♂️
Tu viens de finir de me convaincre de partir sur la 1290. Elle a l’air bien plus robuste que la Multi V4 avec laquelle j’hésitais et l’électronique bien plus adapté que la Tiger 1200 qui était le 3eme choix. Le mode rally a l’air incroyable en situation 👍🏾
Jolie montage bye the way 👌🏾
Ah, ça c'est cool !!! la 1290 est un montre, et procure un plaisir démesuré c'est certain! As-tu pensé à la 890 également ?
Merci pour ton commentaire en tout cas!
@@alexislecarb j’y ai fortement pensé, d’autant que la 2023 est super stylée mais j’ai un doute sur la protection au quotidien. La future devra savoir tout faire et avant tout m’emmener au taf tout les jours quelques soit le temps et pouvoir faire 300 bornes facile le week-end sans escale. Je pense que je serais plus à l’abris des intempéries sur la 12. Mais l’essai est prévu quand même sur la 890 dès que possible 😉
@@timotheenol3240 au vu de ce que tu me décris, le 890 fera LARGEMENT l’affaire !!! Quasi aussi bien protégé, meilleur autonomie que le 1290, tout aussi confortable… le seul + du 1290 c’est sa puissance
@@alexislecarb Les essais qui me reste à faire, pour la 890 R et la triumph finiront de me décider. Merci pour tes retours en tout cas 👍✌️😉
European trails are very difficult because of geology. Very slippery rocks in a rainy climate.
Agreed!! But that’s what make them ultra fun!!
No, thank you for sharing such a wonderful adventure!
Thank you buddy!!
1290 is intended for more road based riding and well groomed off-road. 1090/890/690 for that kind of terrain
Says who?
@@alexislecarb the engineers who designed them and the team who market them…
Simply!! YESSSS!!! I have the same bike!! Ktm 1290 S.Adv. R!! And I always take it to those kind of terrains !! So.. something that .. help me so much... it's.. my shape and size!!
1.97 mts tall.. and 115 kilos of muscle!! And of course very good skills offroading on bikes from very young !
Sounds great!
@@alexislecarb thank's!!
Salut, bon dis moi, avec toutes ces chutes, peux tu faire la liste des pièces abîmées alors que ta bécane est protégée seulement par des crashbar bas et saccoches arrières stp?
En voilà une bonne idée!!
Liste des pièces abîmées :
- crashbars
> Fin de la liste
Hahahah non je te jure, j'ai rien d'abîmé sur la moto!! les crashbars prennent tout, le reste est en excellent état. Je pourrai faire des photos ou une vidéo pour te montrer.
Après est-ce que les pièces à l'intérieur du moteur prennent, ou la partie cycle, ça j'en sais rien...
Bon OK trop fort ktm... j'ai toujours hésité à en acheter pour la partie haute mais tu m'as convaincu vu ce qu'elle a pris peuchère.....merci et à plus
@@lemiex6731 bon ride!!
salut je viens de découvrir ta chaine super format tu es doué. au delà de la conduite tu as de réel talent d 'acteur. le montage, les prises de vues,un brin d'humour tout y est... j'adore bon abuse pas du blabla non plus...
HAhahah allez, je garde ça en tête pour le blabla
Awesome adventure with a great content... thanks for the effort and sharing
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment, plus a positive one!!
Next time use Goldwing, you'll be way more comfortable and have same effect. 🤣🍻
Ahhahahah nice one
RallyMode in 8 up the first hill? What was the rear tire pressure?
Tire pressure was 1.2 bar on the whole trip.
@@alexislecarb ok shit, really slippery. I still think that rally mode 2-3 would have been optimal.
@@kjonasson10 oh yes! I swear I’m not lying!! Mode 8 sometimes has help me a lot in avoid the wheel to spin and lose all traction, that’s why I’ve been using it on this hill!
@@alexislecarb yeah but puts power in and out right instead of playing with clutch?
So fun !! No surrender 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Never surrender. Thank you for sharing your feedback! Feel free to share the video to support the channel
This just reinforces my hatred for riding in wet conditions. Give me 105° f in the desert all day over wet leaves 😅
Really ??? oh man that’s the complete opposite for me I’d rather ride in wet conditions over desert !
Bonjour ,
Très belle vidéo ! Me semble que votre monture est en vente ! J en cherche un mais malheureusement c trop tôt de mon côté !
Je suis étonnée que vous n ayez pas mis de crash bar haut ! Vu la vidéo ceux origine sont nécessaire à la protection de la moto ! Une question en moins à se pose !
Actuellement sur la région de bordeaux , si jamais vous avez des connaissances à me partager , je suis preneur , je roule seul à mon grand regret et ne peux me permette ce genre aventure ! Je recherche donc aventurier ou tout simplement quelqu’un qui aime ce surpasse pour aller plus loin avec nos moto et surpasser nos peurs !
En tout cas bravo à votre groupe qui me donne envie !!!
Merci Damien!!
Oui en vente pour potentiellement passer sur un 890 2023… à voir…
Les crashbars hauts ne sont pas utiles du tout selon moi et augmentent le poids… et pour des connaissances sur Bordeaux, j’en ai effectivement!! Écrivez moi sur Instagram et je vous communiquerai les infos!
Great video!and in some point it reminded me of the"Blair Witch Project "do you remember the film?I hope you're still alive!
Really?? Hahaha weird 😬 still alive, safe and sound
@@alexislecarb Allright then,go out there and ride the hell out of that 1290!
@@user-dc1vy5ty6t hell yeah my man
Well done gentlemen you are an inspiration
Appreciate that a lot buddy!!
How many kg do you and your friends wieght each heavy bike needs big rider plus skills.
Hey buddy! I weight 85 kg and my friend 75 kg!
@alexislecarb big bikes for you guys I'm 126kg
Herculean effort lads 💪🏼😎🍻
Agreed hahaha at least it felt like it 😅

1000th Like :) Love from India
Love from France buddy!!
this was a great journey thankyou
Thank you so much for watching it and taking the time to comment! Means a lot
@@alexislecarb maybe one day i can try this, from England i salute you
This video proves that upper crash bars are not needed on a 1290!
I totally agree with that! Never had to install upper crashbars!
Looks a great challenge 👍🏻👍🏻
it was indeed!!
Better to stop by a barbed wire fence than on one!
Hell yeah! Couldn't agree more to this hahaha Unfortunately, I learned it the hard way
I have a 1290 SA . And a 701 which I run on Trekkers. You lads are brave, skilled but also not right in the head. My 1290 would be going nowhere that day one carnage. Maybe this is the part where I criticise your riding and tell you how much better I'd have done. I mean, I'd be lying but I'd make myself feel better. And no-one could prove me wrong. Chapeau, mes braves. And I know that is archaic French.
Thank you so much buddy for this comment!! Appreciate the positive support and vibe! I’m trading the 1290 for an 890 2023, but man the 1290 is capable!!! What a beast. I’m trading it just because I want to improve riding skills and the lighter the better I guess! Thank you anyway my man!
@@alexislecarb de rien. I really enjoy your videos. I will be riding in the Pyrenees this late spring/ early summer, French and Spanish sides. You are lucky in France with your VTT routes, and even the hunters occasionally border on friendly. Well, friendly might over state it a bit!
@@TheIdlesurfer oh lovely!!! Just LOVE this area. So many trails to explore and indeed, the people are friendly for the most part!! You’re gonna have the time of your life!
@@alexislecarb j'espère! Et merci.
Great Job. 👍👍
Appreciate that 🙏🏼
Normal adventure riders don't have any desire to ride on that terrain. If they did they would ride 450 singles.
Maybe that’s why we’re not normal 🤷🏼♂️
Good video and keep going 💪🤟🤟
Thank you so much buddy! Have you watched the latest episodes?
