Great hare scramble tire.

Shinko suck Total garbage IRC Gekkota rule

How was this compared to the irc vx30 you had ? Im torn between the 2 on a ktm250sx Mostly trail/hard enduro stuff

Luis, I might have your old bike the 2002 adventure 640. Do you remember the vin? 7308 is what mine has.

Those tires on the track are dangerous as hell.

I’ve got the M/H rear and when I fitted my first thoughts were this is very stiff, but when on the trails, it was great, awesome in the corners. Running the M/S front. Certainly better than the SC5

I just purchased (Australia) for trail / enduro riding. It's a dirt bike...but better. So much fun! I wanna ride every day.

I have a 2006 model that stil works

If running Tubliss, what about thoughts on air pressures?

Not sure what your riding on but only got 3 rides out of this tire, 6hrs at the most !

Thanks for the review. Who are you getting your Red Bull vinyl sticker kits from?

One more parameter for your tests is the production date of the tire......it is very important ! I got a tire that was new but was 7 years old...and it chunked knobs off in the first hour on terrain with very few rocks ! I have never experienced this before on several of the same tire . This new 7 year old tire lasted 5 hours with 14 knobs tore off ! Get tires within 1 year of production and there should be great performance.

Hello, have you already tried the dunlop en91 ex?

Hi Luis, did you try de Michelin enduro MEDIUM ?

Hopefully you’ll dive into whatever issues the bike has,and handle business.

Four strokes are better for top end speed. Two strokes are better for acceleration. For me, two strokes are much more fun and interesting to ride.

Shinko 525 has been great. It doesn't feel like I've lost traction and I'm almost down to the where the two nobs will become 1. Stopping has gotten notably worse with wear.

Now that is quite a disappointing look at the things. The diagrams are very nice to compare and that part was done properly. But what is not considered at all is the power you get at the rear wheel. It is simple to understand that a race is keeping a certain (best) speed over the course. That means real wheel rpm and torque. I never knew that 2 strokes are of such a short rev band compared to the 4 strokes. So what is here not considered is this: For the same rpm of the rear wheel has the 4 stroke obviously an advantage in the higher rev band, the gear ratio can be shorter for the same wheel rpm and similar good torque. That shorter transmission balances than up a lot, and in the end is clear why the 4 stroke drives better, large rev band, and in the end as fast as a 2 stroke. While simply easier to handle. I have never heard that anyone would take a low rpm high torque engine over a higher rpm lower torque engine when it comes to performance, where you can let the engine rev. Only where revving the engine is not good, like a long hill up with increasing steepness and limited traction, there you wish an engine which can rev high above the max torque point and has so a long way to go without shifting a gear down. The 4 stroke makes that much easier. That is as I see now the reason why nobody looks at 2 strokes anymore. They only appear to be brutal in short gears, but when it comes to power on the rear wheel at any speed, the four stroke is better. Just get the gearbox right. Before seeing this video I watched a Honda 450 compared to the its 500cc 2 stroke equivalent video (Tomasin). Shockingly the 450 was faster on the track, although the 2 stroke supposed to produce MUCH more power. The point is, in this machine is the gearbox identical taken from the 450. Well, that's a nogo. They cannot be identical due to the rev band difference. I guess the 2 stroke needs a longer transmission ratio and closer steps between the gears, plus plenty shifting gears to keep it in the best range. Over-rev no way, only shifting up. That's what I see in these curves.

which 110 adapter did you end up picking up?

Excelente primo! por ahi te voy a caer a mejorar mi off-road skills!

this man needs more subs.. Seems to rlly know what he's talking bout unlike a lot of the other enduro video makers

Great video summary. I’m about to ride mine today for the first time so you answered some stuff I was still wondering about. Thanks a lot

I was born in So CA and like you, rode a variety of Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda 750/1100 cc sport bikes; all over Angeles Crest HWY, Ortega HWY, and even up to Mammoth Lakes and race over Tioga RD to Yosemite, or up to HWY 46 off 395 and race with a friend all the way to Benton ,at the intersection of HWY 50. After moving to remote CO in 1994, I began my enduro and off-road education. Currently I currently ride a 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F for difficult off-road trails and a 2017 KTM 1090R for fast pavement and easy off-road rides. Colorado has an infinite amount of off-road areas with a variety of skill level requirements to explore. I was considering buying a beautiful 2004 KTM 950 Adventure S, because it is an analog machine without all the stupid electronics seen on the new generation KTM 790/890/1290 bikes. But after watching videos like yours and others, on maintenance, it is obvious my mechanical skills are not up to the complexity this bike requires. So my plan now is to simply keep my two dedicated machines and be happy. Thanks for sharing this video!

I’m looking to buy a kreft plush tank if anybody has one or any leads please please let me know

2 strokes make more power because they have less pumping losses. Less moving mass overall, but more importantly, they have ignition every time the piston comes up, where 4 strokes have ignition every other time the piston comes up. However..... 4 strokes have a much flatter power curve. They make great torque right off RPM, and horsepower is a nice steady increase. 2 strokes are absolutely gutless at low RPM, and need to be wound out to get any kind of performance out of them. The 300cc 2 strokes are a big exception to the rule. The KTM 300, GasGas 300, Beta 300, Husqvarna 300 (all KTM engines anyway) are designed specifically to be very 4-stroke like in performance. They have a perfectly square bore. 72mm piston, 72mm stroke. I heard of in 2 strokes. 2 strokes usually have a very long stroke, and a comparatively small bore, while 4 strokes are the exact opposite, with a short stroke and big bore. Because the 300 has a much larger bore given the length of stroke, it has a much more 4 stroke, tractor like feel to it, and does very well at low rpm

I been running different brand front and back the whole time

I 100% agree with you that tires are the number one most important thing that’s what gets your power to the ground to move

Dude there are 5000k Stark "First ride" videos no one cares anymore bro really

3 things: 1: agreed. the tire sound is crazy! The sound of traction is something to get used to. 2: I don’t think a clutch is needed. Id you understand proper throttle control. 3: you should be able to tune the off throttle response. (You can with a controller). It controls how long the power is delivered or cuts out when the throttle is released.

good to see you out having fun. Keep it up friend.

I appreciate you taking the time to post this, but riding an home built endurocross track is not the same as riding in "Extreme Conditions" Just about any tire can be acceptable in that shit....go tackle something gnarly and report back!

Michelin Starcross med.....👍🇵🇭

all the gummy 140x80's should be run at 8psi or less and never spin them - slip the clutch like you are using a rekluse They are amazing for climbing nasty rocky hills and creaks like a trials bike would. They are not sand / mud tires

I bought the alpha too haha. Crazy bike man. Going from my KTM 350 xcf this was an experience.

Good to see you riding man! I hope your cows are doing well. Keep in touch. Nice riding by the way!

Other back tire with mouse Front and rear is a must if you gonna do Enduro riding. Also another smoother softer setup on the rear and front supension. Did it on mine and it is perfect now

Not at 13 grand I don't see it taking over

KTM FOOT PEGS DO FIT.......there currently on my stark

80 and 60 are 100% the same bike . Total waste of money going the 80. I emailed stark about this and it’s only software difference

Stark have upgraded the foot pegs after initial bad batch of them

Throttle and body position

You need to test it on some technical climbs with roots and rock.

I like electric no shifting not clutch no noise all fun

I like riding with regen turned off and hand rear brake

Interesting thoughts! Thank you for making this video. I was scared that it would be hard to control the bike, and would be easier to launch it into the next county if you lost balance, but it seems like the bike is super smooth.

I found it way too stiff for the kind of riding I so here on the west coast but it was still a blast to ride. Are you running the stock tires? I found them SUPER slippery.

hi, I advise you to use the exposure setting on your GoPro, in this weather -0.5 or -1.0 exposure level is great, then you will avoid overexposure. Thank you for the video

Nice setup you have there and congrats on the new steed!! Having demo’d twice - These bikes are a unique riding experience and unless you’ve ridden one you’ll never know. Agreed on how slim they are & handling incredible Currently on a 22 te250i which does great for all around riding from beach / dunes / deep sand / singles / hard enduro here in Western Australia. been so on the fence w one of these. Enjoy mate !

Just what i was waiting to see - perfect content 👌 Having demo’d twice never got a feel for any obstacles. Cant remember the channel but the handbrake apparently helps to ‘load’ the power up a bit.

Ktm foot pegs fit
