@@rc_51_zxr it is a completely different bike that being said T7 is easier to ride off road as it has less power I own this bike for something like two years and didn’t have any problems. On the other hand 9x0 is a brilliant platform when everything is working then is just a grin machine. Is there anything that within my skill level I couldn’t do on either bike, not really I can ride the same trails on both but after all the reliability factor is quite important and because of that I don’t need to spend a lot of time fixing things. In a perfect world if they both new I would still take 9x0

Hi buddy Custom triple clamps and bottom of fork. 48mm suspension revalved and resprang 265mm travel etc. Tractive fully adjustable shock with +25mm Cost expect to pay £3k+ depending on what you want. That is all built by a tuner at T-tech suspension in UK. I hope that helps

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures Sir, thank's!!! ,

We started at Serra de Estrela and finished in Santiago do Cacem and returned through different trails. To be honest is hard to say distance wise as I don't ever pay attention to it, I always look at fuel and that was a full tank per day riding trails.

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures Do you dare to give an estimate about your average and maximum speed?

@@stefanhansen5882 I can tell you that sand was very slow 😅 on most trail is below 30mph for most part as you can’t really see around the corners and we do expect oncoming traffic but it was rear to see anyone.

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures Slow in sand for sure. 🤣I would have guessed it was rather slow. I'm asking since I'm trying to decide on a bike for a similar trip. I've tried the Ténéré, and it's a heavy bike. I'm considering an enduro bike 50-100 kg lighter than the T7. Yes, it will not go more than 100 mph, but it will not need to.

@@stefanhansen5882 we are used to heavier bikes as we both had 950 adventures so T7 with few upgrades made sense. Enduro bikes are good for the weight but I just don’t find them comfortable enough for long days but then again it depends what you are used to ride. If you want you can go fast on open sections, tet Portugal is pretty technical and some sections are hard on bigger bikes.

@@FFA_PT It certainly is 👌🏻

@@ogasi1798 Thanks buddy

@@simon1290r Portugal has it all to be honest and providing there is no fires about riding is excellent and you will find all sorts of terrain to play with. I highly recommend it, just make sure you pick your months correctly 👍🏻

Thank you

Thanks buddy, I am looking at the camera options right now as this is not the first time GoPro9 did this to me unfortunately.

We love riding in Portugal it definitely is a riding paradise

@@tomslon4809 cos tak 😂

@@joaonunes6411 No, we converted to 48mm revalved enduro suspension with 265mm travel and Tractive rear shock with + 25mm.

@@KiqueRock71 This is from north of Portugal heading south we finished in Serra de Estrela. Thanks

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures this is just what we are going to do. Thank you!

@@KiqueRock71 Its not easy but if you are on a bigger bike its a great challenge, enjoy the ride.

@@ADEngineeringUK thanks buddy

@@DohanyTamas Thanks buddy I appreciate it 👍🏻

@@remu2763 probably not many 😉 this trail is pretty steep and had big rocks and ruts people normally do this one down hill and mainly on enduro bikes.

@@miro_s Hi buddy they are around Usk in South Wales

we do try to make it hard for ourselves 😉

mistakes where made 😅🤣

It was great fun 😂

They are Barkbusters but previous owner painted the to match the bike 😉 Send me a message on Instagram @ajkukwa am sure I will be going back up your neck of the woods there is plenty of great riding out there 👍🏻

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures message sent.👍

Not far from me thats around Usk, it was very tight even lads on 2T was scrapping the bank with the pipes

Its going to be a number of years before I get to lighter bikes been there already and am not convinced

Thanks buddy, there definitely some wise words in your comment. I do share the sentiment for 9x0 bikes they are awesome machines but the sands of time a talking their tool on them. I was puffing like a good one when I eventually got out this one is definitely memorable one 😂 I am in process of upgrading couple of things on T7 so riding should get a little better again.

There's nothing on a 990 that can't be rebuilt if needed! Keep it alive if you like it.

@@colinbowman8816 agreed is true that you can rebuild everything well most things.

Great content. What suspension front and rear do you have?

@@SB-Kiwi Front is modified 48mm KYB forks with 265mm of travel you can use motocross or enduro for for that with custom bottoms on fork and new billet triple clamps. Rear is fully adjustable Tractive shock. That also provides increased ride hight of 25mm. It is pretty sweet highly recommended 👌🏻

What parts did you end up fitting to get more out of T7 ?

It was brutal alright 😅

Thanks buddy

That will be a follow up video 👍🏻

Thank you for your comment, we don’t give in on big bikes. The truth is that we rode through tracks like this on KTM 950 Adventure bikes so Tenere feels pretty good out there 👍🏻

We love it, hard technical riding that provides a smile on the face is always welcome 😁

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures haha i see, i will start with just gravel, getting my first bike this month, vstrom 800 :D good and safe riding!

I use rental fat bars 609 it works well for me because I am quite tall.

Yeah she does way a fair bit 😏

Thanks buddy 👍🏻

Thanks

I was running mitas e09 and to be fair if the weather is dry you can probably get away with your tyres as there is plenty of grip available however if it gets wet it might not be so good. If you like tough trails Portugal definitely has a few of them 😉 Thanks

I don’t usually record from a chest mount but after changing helmets that’s the only thing I had available, thanks for pointing it out 👍🏻

Thanks for kind words, to be fair I started my Adventure riding on a 950 😉

I have a 990 Dakar. I’ve been doing ADV for quite some time and I’ve test ridden almost all the modern offerings. THIS IS THE KING. LONG LIVE THE 950/990.

@@brandenhellman4381 I don't disagree with you my friend 950 is my favourite but I am simply looking at it from another angle. T7 is just newer, more reliable, economical and easier to ride. Saying that my heart is with 950 is simply amazing when is going well and I am sorry to say but I am not a fan of 990 because of fuel injection. However 9x0 is an iconic bike that's for sure.

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures I completely respect you and I completely respect your decision! I have one of your HE clutch cases from Hard Enduro - Triple Clamp and I have religiously followed you. You are definitely a 950 expert and if you choose to pick any bike, I would always be interested in knowing why and confidently that it’sa good choice. I think the T7 is a fabulous platform, but I wish that Aprilia had a better dealer network. I’m excited to see where you take this.

@@brandenhellman4381 I do like the Aprilia Tuareg and as a stock bike is better than T7. I got friends owning them and I am watching very carefully how they are going to be on reliability front in couple of years.

it is awesome, we are going back for some more 👍🏻

They did build them well back then for sure

Hej całkiem możliwe ze mam w garażu uchwyt od Triple Clamp Moto musiał bym zobaczyć, oczywiście nowe są dostępne na ich stronie.

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures Niestety nowych na stronie 4k parti specjali na razie nie ma. Jeżeli masz taki, nie potrzebny to chętnie odkupię.

@@piotrkoper3273 4K napewno nie mam jak juz to ten od TripleClampMoto

@@HeavyEnduroAdventures No nic. Coś może sam ulepię.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy, Giant loop coyote is my main bag and a roll bag for camping gear plus couple of possibilities pouches

I think its one of those things when you have to accept the compromise as it is completely different riding style

It’s definitely challenging 😉

That's on my 950 adventure, there will be videos of enduro/trail rides on my T7
