You really put that thing to the test. I used to ride trails like that on a two stroke so I know how much of a beating that bike took. I'm sold.
Thanks! It was super fun. I can’t wait to do even more and become a better rider
As you progress in skill you'll realize it'll get easier for 3 reasons: Your skill in choosing lines will naturally improve, you'll learn to stand up to let your bike perform better because you won't be squatting all your weight on it (bend the knees), and you'll gain the confidence to speed up which will help overcome many terrain obstacles with momentum. Your bike can handle it, right now it's just the rider that can't. I'm sold though, I will be getting one.
Thanks bro! I can’t wait to get better and show more progress. Endurance is something going to be working on a lot so I can stand while riding. I also order taller bars so I’m not hunched over as far. I think that’ll help me to ride in a more efficient stance versus the stock height. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!
Good to see a beginner ride it and show how accessible the bike is. If you haven't already done so bring the tire pressure down to around 15psi will help traction.
Thanks for the advice. I think that’ll really really help me next time. I definitely slid out in sections because of my tire pressure
The trail is the music...your bike is your dance partner
Couldn’t have said it better
This was well enjoyable brother digging that trail man I'm no pro or vet on the trails 😂 I ride trails off and on no matter how many times I trail still feels like the first time but I still keep riding them. And keep trying. Hope to see more trail rides man. Stay safe man 👊
Thanks bro! There’s more coming where that came for sure!
Looking good! The more you ride the better you'll get. If you are ever down in Northern AZ you should come riding with us!
For sure!! I'd love to come by and learn from some real pros!!!
I live in Williams 30 miles away. I would love to ride with you guys this spring with my MX3. 🏁
I wish I had that to ride , looks awesome
Been on a lot of single track in my life and that track was hard! Even for the most experienced riders, that would have been difficult on a downhill bike. The single tracks I ride are a bit smoother and have more places to get air, not nearly that rocky or rooty. Some of your trail near the bottom were great too! Looks like you had a lot of fun and had a pretty good work out! I'm in my upper 60's now and miss it as I cannot climb like I use too, so I'm looking for an alternative. This might be the way to go for me.
Thanks for watching man! It definitely was difficult but very fun. I can’t wait to show everyone the next trail I ride.
And if you’re looking for something that’ll get you up and you can just bomb downhill, these things are the absolute best! Light enough to flick around on the decent and powerful enough to climb. You’ll love it!
Respectful rider. Love that
Thank you!
Great video
I am almost as much a beginner as you but the one thing that has helped a lot on the Sur Ron is to learn to stand on the pegs and use your legs as shock absorbers. This alone will change your ride big time.
Great tip!
the thing that is kinda ratteling in the bike is the battery bouncing around in there , there is a brace for it you can buy witch makes it completely solid in there (still removable btw)
Nice trail. I have a lot of single track trail vids and I can appreciate a good trail ;)
Thanks for watching! I can’t wait to go back and actually complete this trail when I have more experience. It was a challenge but an extremely fun one 🤙🏻
I see someone makes a chain gide for them hopefully I'll get one soon. Take care
The video chapters got me 😂
Hahaha I’m so stoked you noticed that
Holy crap that a heck of a brop off that path
Talking about the noise when you hit bumps that would have to be the battery is a common thing for stings. The battery is just a touch loose in the compartment
I know it's not the battery, in my case, because I secured it before the ride
Key thing is to practice body-bike separation. Get your bum off the seat going over any obstacle (large or small) Keep your elbows slightly bent and hinge your hips. Try not to let your body come forward to much. Keep the hips over the center/rear of the bike.
Love the tips, thank you!
I would install some riser bars, as well probably 50mm to 60mm that will help with leverage.
Couldn’t agree more. Finally got some installed and it’s so much better
whats the red light on your left bar?
Nice trail, but do you actually have a map for it? Also, on my trails a lot of black bears... Do you have any in your area?
Truth be told I don’t have a map for this trail. Basically I knew it existed but I forgot about the forks so I just kinda winged it.
There are tons of black bears in that area for sure.
Are the Dunlop tires mounted on stock rims? If so do you know the size of the tires both front and rear ?
I did mount them to the stock rims. They are 70/100-19 both front and rear.
Great video my dude!! Quick question and I'm not trying to he rude. I'm in the market for a talaria myself but I'm worried about my weight for the bike... I'm 250 ... do you think it'll suffer with me? Lol
From my experience, as a large man, I’d say no problem. You definitely won’t be the fastest out there but damn if this thing won’t carry anyone up a mountain. Don’t scared. I’m riding it and loving it.
@Have A Good One that's freaking awesome!!! Thanks a lot my dude!
@@grublanders2023 no worries! Enjoy it!
I think Im going to sell my Ariel Rider Grizzly and use that money to buy a Talaria. Just need to figure out which model? great video since Ive never riden one.
Good choice! I’d say for the money, brand new, the Talaria sting r (MX4) is the best. If you can find a used MX3 (the one I have) for $3,500 or so then I’d probably go that direction and spend that money on upgrades. Both are dope but brand new the MX4 has some very nice upgrades.
Thanks for watching!
Sold on that DJI mic wow!
I know right! Just awesome
I noticed that several of the more technical down and up hills gave you trouble. Do you think this is more of a limitation of your skill or the bike? I ride downhill mountain bike and Moto. I love my mountain bike for downhill but I love my Moto for uphill. I'm wondering if this bike can do both well and that's what interests me about this type of bike. Thanks
Is the rider for sure you could tell he was sitting down for the most part I only sit down when I’m getting tired, but 85% of the ride I’m standing up it just allows your bike to perform way better and it gives you more reach because of your legs
Thanks for watching man! It’s definitely my skill that’s the issue. I’m a beginner on single track and my endurance can use a ton of work. I am changing the bars and adding a riser because I did feel I was hunched over too much on this ride. I’m 6’1”. Other than that it climbs well (at slower speeds) and descends very well.
I need to edit some more videos of me and my friends bombing down mountain passes because man this thing rocks for that. Plus when I wanted to get another run I’d just ride back up and descend again. It’s just so much fun!
Yea absolutely. I really need to work on my endurance so I can stay standing while riding. I also ordered a 3” rider bar and riser direct mount stem to help. I was hunched over really bad while riding and I felt like I couldn’t move very freely.
That being said I will probably always be the the limiting factor for this bike. They just have so much performance. Again, thank you for watching! 🤙🏻
What other bikes did you consider when deciding on this one? Any thoughts on Artic Leopard, Stark Varg, Drill, etc.? Would you buy a Talaria or newer version again or check out another brand?
When I was looking to buy I considered the Talaria, Surron x, Segway X260, Cake Kalk, Drill One, Super73, Onyx, and Electric Motion.
I picked the Talaria because of cost mixed with small advantages over the Surron. Knowing that it was made by a faction that left Surron I knew I could trust the reliability from Talaria. The Drill One, Cake Kalk, and Electric Motion Escape R were my dream bikes but they were out of my price range. And the KTM free ride/ Stark Varg/ Surron Storm Bee/ Alta are all too large for my needs. On the opposite spectrum bikes like the Onyx or Super73 are not off-road focused enough.
If the parameters were the same again, ie budget, purpose, timing, then yes I’d absolutely buy the Talaria again over everything else. It has blown me away with how much fun it is.
Hello, beautiful day today thank you
That’s the dog walker special😂😂😂😂
Beautiful day for sure
I think that is the battery making that thumping sound maybe put some pad in the box
There is a linkage in the rear suspension that has sloppy tolerance. Would you check that and see if that is the noise?
For sure! I’ve been thinking about ordering an upgraded linkage. I’m pretty sure that solved most of Oregon Motorcycle’s noise.
@@haveagoodoneyt my Talaria is coming this week. Would’ve ordered the linkage but I’m waiting to see for myself if it’s like that right out of the box.
@@brendanflegle3326 let’s hope they tweaked it for newer production runs 🤞🏻
Hear that rattling u need a air wedge to hold battery.
It's not an e-bike. It's an e-moto. Huge difference and it's not just semantics. Laws. Pedalecs are ebikes. Must have pedals, (must not go over 25 Class II) mph or it must be registered and insured by law in most states. E motos are awesome but too pricey. A new crf 125 is $3500 a 250 is 6k. by FAR better motos for much less. But e-moto still cool machines. 👍
Totally. I also have had regular motors and they’re sick too. Anything two wheels is just the best.
whould you say its worth trading my crf250r dirt bike for one?
Yes, as long as you want to stay on the ground. It just doesn’t have enough power to go to a motocross track. But on single track and exploring riding it’s super light, no noise, and a ton of torque. Plus it’s just easier to own
Single track is the best. Not bad for a novice. With skills its epic..
Appreciate it 🙏
You could have met the second rider head-on at full speed when you were driving back.
The video greatly misses the big bear catching up with Talaria 😁
🇺🇸
‘Merica
That video compression tho
Yeah, I want one.
Bro, yes! Have you picked one up yet?
video seems to be uploaded in 360p quality, at least for me.
Thanks, I'm trying to figure out why it's low quality. But thank you for the heads up!
Ok I just figured it out. RUclips is still processing the HD and 4K versions. I had it set to auto release when it finished and I guess it just uploaded low quality. so the full quality will be live shortly.
@@haveagoodoneyt Just saw that the quality improved, great vid by the way 👍
@@johanneseriksson1964 thank you so much! That means a lot to hear 🤙🏻
Have you ever done any mt. biking?! I noticed that you have a tendency to slow down to handle trail obstacles... From years of Mt. Biking it becomes second nature to pick your line choice earlier, before you have to slow down and lose the momentum and balance by having to get to a snails crawl as you approach the obstacle. You'll get more and more comfortable picking the better lines the more you experience it. HONESTLY, You rode your first single track and didn't fall or hit a tree... SUCCESS!!! WIN!!!
SUGGESTION: Flat land balance exercise... Get a water bottle (like a standard cycling water bottle). Fill it w water... Ride your bike with one hand while holding the bottle in the other... Ride slow enough to SET the bottle down standing it up right... then ride away... come by at the same slow speed and pick up that bottle again... switch hands and set the bottle down on the opposite side of the bike... REPEAT til you got it down 10 times ROCK SOLID.. then, take half the water out and do it all again cause with half the water, it's half the weight.. so it gets harder and harder the less water in the bottle.
SIDENOTE: Momentum can be your friend. Fear of falling is your enemy.
Good Video too.. Decent sound, good Voice over level (tho a bit of music under it now and again would be a nice touch), great angle of your camera, beautiful trail.
And GREAT suggestions at the end... Don't fear getting out there, but ride in your limits. GOOD GOOD STUFF MATT!!!
Thanks for the support and the advice! I’m always looking to get better to have more fun on the trails.
Also, THANKS FOR THE HYPE! Seriously the support is wicked and it’s awesome to hear legit feedback from someone more experienced.
Ps, that place is awesome
Pls fix your front brake cable
Will do
Am I right, you are seating on the bike, not standing? Its almost impossible to go over all this obstacles on seating position. That's why you so tired.
So I go in between sitting and standing a lot. If you can see the handlebars in full, then I’m sitting. If you can only see the front fender then I’m standing
@@haveagoodoneyt yep, but like 30:35 good example, you wouldn't stack if go over in standing position. But you wrere standing on good road, and sitting on obstacles... Should be opposite 🤔
@@armyca for sure. I learned a lot from this first ride. In the future I’ll definitely be standing more. One thing that did make it difficult to stand was the handlebar position. I got away with it for this trip but man it does lean me over very far so I don’t have much room to move. But yea. I’m working on building endurance and standing up more so I can ride through more difficult obstacles in future rides.
@@haveagoodoneyt that's why need high stem and raised handlebar for trail. Anyway, nice video and good experience
You were about 5 foot behind that lady should have honked like 50ft back instead of giving her a heart attack
Nice trail lol....
Thanks bro 🤙🏻
As mentioned, you uploaded a very low quality version.
Thanks for the heads up. It's a shame considering it took RUclips over 4 hours to finish uploading it while I was at work. I'll probably have to reupload. Again, thanks for letting me know.
@@haveagoodoneyt its fine its 4k now lol it just takes youtube a really long time to process some videos for some reason, most will process quickly but sometimes it takes forever if I got 150k or more bitrate
Less talking and I might of watched the whole video dude
I’m gonna do some ASMR style videos in the future
Tentative line selection which leads to failure
Thanks for the support
Hit your foot pegs on 6 inch rocks. Hahah. Omg
Thanks for the support
No skill level at this point
Thanks for the support
