- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2021
- Who does it best? Well, that all depends on what you are looking for out of your moto tent. This past weekend, I joined @BretTkacs at his training in GA and there just happened to be each of these tents there for a one to one comparison. It was awesome to be able to walk around to each option and check them out closely so I made a little video walking through what I noticed. Let me know if you have any different experiences with these tents and check the links below for current deals on these unique tents.

I have the RedVerz Atacama tent. I can park my 2018 HD Road King in the garage and close the flaps with room to get into the sleeping portion and store gear that I do not want in sleeping area. Thanks for the tent review well done.
Great comparison and you answered a bunch of questions - thanks.
Absolutely. I am glad you got something out of watching. Thank you so much for leaving feedback.
That for the review. I picked up the Vuz tent 2 weeks ago. Used it last weekend for the 1st time. My Tenere 700 is a hair too big. I can’t fully close both doors. But still very happy with it.
Yeh, I think if you get it for size and using the garage it is a good buy. If you expect to fit the bike easily, it will be a disappointment.
I’m very very happy with my Lone Rider in version 1, the old colour is very neutral. Love it!
And hey, my BMW GS fits fine in the garage 💡
Wonderful video ! Looking for a video like this one about mattress, sleeping bag and all accessories for motorcycle (best existing products of course).

Nice review comments, Chad. But I would like to have seen more of the tents. Thank you.
More to come!
Great Info!
Thank you so much. It was a major stroke of luck to see all the tents in the same place.
@@BeGoneForGood yeah that’s really cool and that you had the camera and sense to make the video great on the fly work man!
FYI the lonerider ADV tent is free-standing and can have the rain fly put up before the rest of the tent. But it matters a lot to me to have a freestanding tent, as it has often come up that tents need to be moved slightly or can only be mostly staked down without moving sites.
There's also NatureHike Cloud tourer 2 & Armas Motorcycle Adventours
On the VUZ tent when you enter the sleeping area from the garage there are two screen flaps. Are there any solid flaps that zip to the screens?
Thanks
There are not. It is all mesh all the time inside that tent.
@@BeGoneForGood I used a friends RedVerz this last weekend and it does have the flaps over the screens. Do you find any issues not having the flaps? My wife worries about privacy and whether it will allow to much cold in while sleeping.
I haven’t had any issues with the flaps or non-flaps but I have only ever used it solo. No one ever comes into my tent so the privacy issue is solved for me by closing the garage. As far as the cold, the first time I used the tent was on a 22 degree night and though it was cold, I did okay inside. The thing about the Vuz is that the sleeping compartment is so big and tall that it doesn’t hold heat all that well regardless. The Lone rider is downright small and the Redverz is probably somewhere in between so it regally becomes all about how much heat you have built up in there. With all that being said, I don’t think the flaps would make much of a difference with the Vuz tent and it is still a bargain without them.
@@BeGoneForGood Thanks for the info
I prefer ultralight camping so none of these three tents work for me. I use a Hennessy hammock. When I take my ADV motorcycle trip to the desert southwest where there are no trees, I'll take my 1.5 person ultralight backpacking tent, but I have an idea for an ultralight motorcycle tent I'd like to make.
That's fun when you are young and spry. I'd can't wait to see 50yo you in a hammock after riding all day
Interesting review, thanks. The moto tent is tall and doesn't look very aerodynamic. How well does it cope with high winds?
The weekend I shot this video, the winds came down to Georgia and tested all of out tents. Now this thing is built like a bus but I didn't have any issues unique to this tent. Everyone was getting blown around but it held up nicely. I was happy with it.
@@BeGoneForGood Good to know. I got a new Lone Rider after my last tent got blown into the middle of next week and I eventually found it in a loving embrace with a barbed wire fence a kilometre up the road. I was a bit paranoid this would be the same, so thanks for the reassurance!
@@Spuggy0453
Just put the small end into the wind as they recommend it's very aero
I have redverz tent and satisfied with it. I have put it up alone with 6 m/s wind. It can handle 8 m/s in wrong direction and its easy to put up. Im very satisfied with the tent. Downside is, pegs which is with the tent is crap. Another one is that it too little hooks on the roof on the tent to make a dryer line. Tent dont like the sun at all. After 7 three weeks holydays in sun in sentral europe, u can easy see how the sun have bleech the tent
Yeh...I could see the tent losing color quick but it is a solid tent for sure.
You mention you can or can not stand up in the tents, but you don’t mention how tall you are... would have been good to know yo out your information in context
Very very true and that was certainly an oversight. I stand 6’5” which should give some context for the measurement. Thank you for reminding.
@@BeGoneForGood what is that strange measure ? Do you come from a poor little country like one in Africa ? Could you put the international measure if your country accept the international measures ?
That’s 195.5 cm and in the US 6’5” makes perfect sense.
@@BeGoneForGood perfect thanks
I put a whole Kawasaki Concours 14 in my Vuz.
I can imagine this tent would be even more valuable if I could fit my bike. Right now it is brutally tough to get in there but I still see the value of the garage. I am excited to get into more circumstances where I can use it.
How about waterproof
None of them are waterproof exactly because they aren’t rubber or anything but with care, you will have no issues keeping the water out of your tent for any of them.
I just use a normal 2 man tent and a cheap nylon bike cover. I've slept with some monsters over the years but draw the line at my Honda.
Strange...my AT is the best looking sleep partner I have ever had...maybe I need a break from the bike.
@@BeGoneForGood LOL!
The main reason I wanted to watch the review was to see the size they pack up lol that’s the first thing you said you don’t see the point of showing
Hey, at least you found out early, right? ;-)
Others have to watch the WHOLE video before I abandon their needs but sooner or later I’ll disappoint everyone.
I can’t remember specifically why I would say that but I imagine it has something to do with the way I pack up, because I separate everything out instead of one big brick.
Or…maybe I’m just lazy. Honestly, it could be either one.
It's no good just saying the dimensions are on the manufacturer's website - most tourers can pack items smaller / better than the manufacturers do. But HOW SMALL? (In the real world). It really matters.
How tall are you? Are you 6'4" or 5'2"? You compare the difference in height with all three models but if your 6'4" that's not a comparison that is really relevant. Most riders and most men aren't 6'4" tall so that isn't a relevant comparison. You're comparing and displaying the height restrictions to you and not the general public.
Also, with a comparison video, taking fifteen or twenty minutes to create a dimension comparison chart would have gone a long way with creating credibility rather than telling us to just go and check their websites. Yes, we can easily do that, but then, why would we need you?
Hahaha. Thank you for that.
@Be Gone For Good I'm 6'4, and have been looking at buying one of these. It's nice to see that aspect talked about!
@@jaxyt94 I am glad it isn't only the 5'2" guys that are getting a voice on the RUclipss. ;-)
Thought this was gonna be a good review but then I saw the africa twin on your jacket & realized you make poor decisions
Whoa whoa whoa…now we have to fight. Granted it will have to be rhetorically because I told my wife I wouldn’t get my hands all busted up again, but fight we will.
Carry less, use a tarp.
Oh man, I don't know if I have the guts to go that route but maybe one day...maybe.
Modern tents kind of SUCK! They are either too low to the ground, like 40” peak height so you have to crawl in & out OR they are so big you can’t carry them on the bike, over 10lbs or 30” packed length? WTF? Can’t somebody make a 4’ to 5’ peak height tent that packs small and weights 5-7lbs? So my Catoma Raven is 10lbs 30” packed but 59” peak height and super easy to set up OR my Big Agnes C Bar has 44” peak height 5lbs packs to 20” but I have to crawl in & out.. fxck me!
I think it’s tough to hit that perfect mix of needs for what amounts to a pretty small ADV contingent. The backpackers want small and light. The regulars want small. Anytime you get to big tents, it is the stow and go car camper types and the size doesn’t really matter.
I dont get it, why would a motorcycle need to be covered over night? These products dont seem to solve a problem that exists for an average moto-camper. And even if you are concerned about safety of your bike at a specific event, the a tent will definitely not stop a potential thief.
It would also make me nervous to have the bike near me at night where it could fall and land on me. I've never understood these moto tent setups.
It is the difference between a hard and soft target. That in itself is a deterrent.
I don't know if it is about ACTUAL security as much as out of sight out of mind type of security. It is the same reason why many suggest bagging your bike at night while traveling. It just take the attention off the bike a bit. Ultimately, there is no unbeatable security device but not sky lining yourself is often enough.
And Matthew, some of these tents provide enough room to lean the bike AWAY from your sleeping compartment because the lean towards would certainly lead to many many sleepless nights. ;-)
@@BeGoneForGood I see what you mean, but in most moto camping situations, you are camping next to the bike and then riding it all day.
I think you’ve got to keep in mind that bikes aren’t always allowed into campsites, or just wild camping, and if the weather is wild (snow or hefty rain camping) your bike will be safe. And a third reason for me is having the bags stay on the bike.
Whats the point of making a video if you are not gonna share specs? Isn't it a review and comparison?
Specs are easy to get but an actual look at the tents with someone who knows them all is rare. That was my focus.
Not a good review. You should have checked the specs on the tents. Type of material, seam sealing and stitching, water resistance. Nope, not a good review.
I appreciate the feedback but I’m not all that worried about those factors as reliability for each tent is acceptable. To what degree, is sort of unimportant for my uses. My concerns deal far more with size, setup, carrying, and overall usage capabilities for each section. I do urge those with further information and interests in the tents to leave their information or links to their own reviews.
The redverz atacama is poorly constructed and overpriced. Customer service is a shame.
NOT YOU AGAIN! STOP LYING!
dude, came here to see the tents, Not up your nostrils, am out.
Well you could have said something earlier. How am I supposed to know that “up the nostrils” isn’t the angle most preferred by YT critics?!? This is all news to me and I will certainly try to be better in the future but there will always be some content for my nasal fans out there that have stuck with me so far.
