  • High country adventures in New Zealand with the big KTM’s. We were not sure if we would make it to the top, maybe the snow would be too deep? Good times all around!

      😆 confirmed...from riding with KTMs.
      But the reality is all these bikes that are dual purpose suffer from not being tested in real life. Torque specs and material are a bit wonky.

    Chris, are you doing that terrain on the 890 Adv R stock tubeless wheels, or got the heavy duty wheel/tubed option? thanks

      @ChrisBirchNZ  Год назад +1

      I'm running the heavy duty wheels but Liam is on the stock ones. I definitely prefer the narrower HD wheels.

    @mochiman1613 Год назад

    How do you control movements of the handlebar like on 14:20? When it becomes agressive from the traction of the front wheel? Very nice riding as ever Birchy!

    • @liambradleyellis
      @liambradleyellis Год назад +2

      That’s the front wheel bouncing off a rock. Solid grip with the knees on the bike and looking ahead can usually ride out of it. Does catch you off guard every now and then 😬

    • @ChrisBirchNZ
      @ChrisBirchNZ  Год назад +2

      Like Liam said. You don't control it you just let it happen, stay stable through legs and core and the bike will generally sort it out.

      Because this was open access we were asked to sweep it just in case. As you can imagine I was more than happy to help! If your back down that way you should definitely check it out.
