Lekker LS. :thumleft:

 

[Renier]

nice ride report...
the X-challenge is an awsome bike..

i weigh in at 85kg,1.82m tall and only inflate to 8bar for commuting and lil dirtroad excursions...
for more rugged stuff i go down to 6bar .. otherwise the bike is too high and then im prone to fallin over ;-)
and soft susp soaks up any crap anyway... i never look at tht bubble rubbish on the bike.. feel it with my pucker and know where the pressure is leke..
air shock i also adjust to soft dampening.. the hard setting stuffs up the offroading for me.. the soft setting is more consistant.

i know i spell like a 5yr old ;-)

yep as kykdaar states.. D606 is da bomb...

[Mark Hardy]

The man is back and riding  :thumleft:
As usual an excellent report and pics.

Looking forward to more.




So are you still interested in the Yammie (if they bring into the country)  ;D

 

[Red Adventure]

It has happened to him too : :'( :3some:

The first picture is of a Bike for two kitted for one - A true Adventurers bike  :drif:

The second picture is a bike for one with a tent for three - A true family mans tent  :imaposer:

Lets just agree that he's not getting soft, he's just compromising with the family :mwink:

p.s Actually I think there is nothing wrong with that :thumleft:

 

[Stofstreep]

Great report and awesome pic LS.
I'm glad you are happy with the bike. Hope we see some more reports more regularly! :thumleft:
;D ;D ;D

good work dude

 

[bertrand]

Awesome RR!

I agree. After quite a few thousand km's on my X Challenge including a trip around Lesotho and following the railway line to Potchefstroom (with pillion): it is a great DS bike. I have meanwhile fitted a hyde windscreen and it is now also great at highway speeds even though I ride with a MX helmet with a large peak. I have pillion pegs fitted and it handles perfectly with a pillion. This bike gives me new confidence when things get technical. Airhawk might be good for both me and pillion though. This is only my humble opinion...

 

[Frog]

Great RR. I'm hoping that I enjoy the new Xchallenge as much as you seem to!

 

[sillystunt]
