As a T7 owner, I love to see what they can do in the rights hands. All 4 of you are very skilled, and clearly willing to bash your bikes around some sketchy terrain.
I am totally speechless taking heavy adv bikes in to such terrain! Had to watch this over several days as I thought i was going to die on several occasions there. Utterly impressed.
I bought it to ride it resale never factors into decisions for this bike. We have 4 other Camel bikes at the shop that are pristine, not a scratch. Resale is important on those ones.
Hard to imagine a better advert for those 200 kilo machines! They're great because after a very hard day's rock hopping, you've got a very comfy ride home!
Great video! I appreciate you guys showing the falls and repairs as well as the obstacles you made look easy, a lot of video creators don't show anything but the highlights.
Just came across your channel, mind blowing. You guys are a real deal. Love the footpeg hack. Thanks for amazing footages from multiple angles and showing the real struggle.
I just bought the t7 camel tank to go down to Moab a couple weeks ago! had a blast. we got down Rusty nail and some sections were definitely a little much for the tenere! but alot of fun still. the camel tank was awesome 🤙🏼
That was some kind of awesome trail repair. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and the way you handle that T7 is expert. Me thinks it was a good idea that I turned my Gladiator around that day at the creek for sure. Thanks Cory for the shout out and graphic at the beginning. Another happy and very satisfied T7 Camel ADV customer! 😜
It's funny, just after I broke the peg I was thinking, "If it gets really bad, maybe I can toss my bike in the back of Brian's Jeep!". We kept expecting to see you creeping along the trail.
You guys are hard core! It’s good to see adventure riders actually show what bikes can do, especially ones like the Tenere 700 that’s seldom seen in such extreme riding conditions. A thousands likes👍👍👍👍👍
I found this video after purchasing some Camel ADV products. I’ve ridden this on a KTM 450 EXC and it was a challenge. This video puts me right back there. No way I would try this on my T7! These guys are total studs and totally change my preconception of “adventure bikes”. I bought mine to take it easy ;)
Pure madness! Love it 🤙 Takes some balls (and skill) to ride big bikes through that kind of shit, let alone with one fucking foot peg. Great riding fellas 👌
Man that cruxing crux !!! Well done, right on the edge of that cliff, hairy stuff You guys bottomed out so much, those skid plates are amazing not to mention that foot peg repair under normal conditions sure it would of held up just fine Thanks for sharing, I have learnt so much watching you guys today as that all I can do is live vicariously due to a broken ankle doing something similar to you in the Aussie bush I rode home 40km in the bush with a broken tibia There is something about doing this sort of riding that people who don't understand It gets in your blood that's for sure
One of the guys tapped out a few minutes in. Andy rode back out with him to make sure he got to the trailhead. It's admirable to know your limitations and tap out before you get in a bad situation.
Fun vid. As a 990 rider who has loved putting big bikes in small places since 2008, I appreciate the effort, commitment and skill needed to pull off a ride on this trail (that I know well). with those bikes (less the 230lb EXC) While my days of dragging, grinding and bulldogging 500lb bikes up those steps are far behind me, I do thoroughly enjoy watching you guys work your a$$s off in the desert while I drink a cold beer in the shade and ponder my next ride in the forest. Keep it up! :)
Total animals, you guys can ride there's no arguing that! Maybe one of the most compelling videos I've seen tempting me to get a T7. Yamaha should sponsor this vid.
balls the size of saturn you guys!!!! to take those bikes over that track!!!!no way i could have done it!!!and seeing the ohlins t7 deflecting off everthing (probably works amazing the other 99.9%of your trip!) and choosing to run alloy instead of steel footpegs (in that enviorment!!)..wow....and the drone footage deserves another wow too!!!great stuff gentlemen!!!!
Andy was stilling tuning the suspension on his bike. He was getting ready for the Biltwell desert race the next weekend. It's tough to get a bike set-up for all environments. If I was riding in that terrain regularly, steel pegs would definitely be on the bike. That's the first peg I've ever broken in 15yrs of doing dumb stuff on ADV bikes... that was after 2yrs of abuse.
Awesome video! I enjoyed start to end, great to see great riders enjoy their heavy enduros that way, I share your mind set of having a blast in tricky situations and of what this bikes are capable of doing in the right hand, and not worrying because the resale value, keep it up guys 💪💪💪
It's fun watching this stuff. Having said that, you're asking to trash your bikes or get injured. Of course that's part of the fun. But if you have smaller dual sports or dirt bikes, why not just ride those? Because it's probably too easy LOL. Keep up the good work. I've got a t7, a wr250r and a yz250. Sometimes it is more fun challenging yourself with the big bike. But it can also be very costly.
No way ! Craziest trail I've seen anywhere. I've watched my share of off-road videos. Not even Chris Birch has anything to hold up against Cliff Hanger Trail. Should be rated +10. Looks more difficult that any Romaniacs Enduro course. I would think maybe one in a million riders can do this on a small 300cc or 500cc four stroke. But, no way on big KTM 890 ADV bikes. A+++ and give an Academy Award to whoever spent the time and effort to capture the footage despite the challenges. 🏆
The 300 or 500 make way more sense! I'm a bit weird as I'm far more comfortable on ADV bikes than on dirt bikes. I just sold my 350XCF-W and my trials bike because I never ride them, I always feel like a bear on a tricycle! I'm at home on an ADV bike.
Great trip video and awesome fix on the foot peg. Ive been in that situation with a foot peg on a moderate-easy route so you win the prize for worst return trip possible with a broken peg! Keep up the hard riding, thanks for sharing. Hope we get to ride again one day, Im on Husky 701 now and loving life.
@@CamelADV going to try and get there but my work schedule keeps changing so it's been hard to commit to things. If I head there, I will look you up! Thanks for asking.
Also the reason the 790 and 890 gas tanks pressurize when off roading is because of the tank design. When the fuel is lower and the heat of the engine heats it up the gasses build up causing fuel gasses to build faster than they can escape from the extended vent hose and that’s why the hissing sound. All the new type of 790-890 do the same thing.
FYI 2022 890R and had same venting issue...I took off the tank to ensure no kinked vent lines...also I put heat shield all over the underside of the tank. Issue gone. I belive it is just that the check valves are too restrictive in the fuel cap area.
That was great..epic!..I would definitely attempt SOME of it on my T7...but not much and definitely NOT where there's such a drop off the edge!! Great stuff 👏 👍 Cheers, Steve
Gymmy tires needed eyy.. Very nicely done cory, poor footpeg though. I would just have laid down and died on the spot :D, a week to recover from that ride for sure.
There's so much traction everywhere... like riding on sand paper! The peg situation sucked. I hit the same one really hard a few times that week and it finally tapped out. The timing was unfortunate but at least I wasn't standing on it when it snapped. I broken leg or torn ACL back there would have been REALLY bad!
@@CamelADV it sure looks like a awesome place to challenge your internal trails ego (on a big bike) 😬. Yea that broken peg sucked, glad you didn’t get hurt.
I am very impressed that you took those heavy bikes up there. I have a 450 that is 250 lbs dry and at the start of the day I am throwing it around and at the end of the day it is throwing me around. That exc is a bike I will look in to. Great video. I see a lot of dirt bike videos and seldom are they interesting but this one kept my attention. I was wondering if I would have a clutch left but I would rip it with you guys on that trail!
This video was so great! You guys are ass kickers. I've done that trail on a single cylinder and it was tough! I've got a T7 now and I can't imagine! Sorry about your peg Cory. Thanks sharing this adventure!
Simply amazing! What a spectacular trail and video, and you guys have incredible big bike skills. Cory you did things with one foot peg most can't do with two. As a T7 owner it's amazing what can be done by those with amazing big bike skills. Would never attempt that myself, buy it sure was fun to watch
Tough trail guys w big bikes nicely done and great teamwork. You’ll need a block and tackle or winch setup soon!! My AT is too fat for this trail but my CRF450 would eat on this trail.
Rally Motor in the Netherlands had Wings do a short run of mufflers to work with our pipe. The pipe ID is bigger than normal and the hanger clamp is different as well. The regular Wings T7 can muffler can be made to work but it takes some effort.
Trails like these are pushing a ADV bike to its limits and become more like work than fun. The only one having a good time is probably the 500exc. It’s like pushing a round peg through a square hole. Sure, it can be done, but it’s a lot harder and you’re going to do some damage. Using the right tool for the application makes life so much more enjoyable.
As a T7 owner, I love to see what they can do in the rights hands. All 4 of you are very skilled, and clearly willing to bash your bikes around some sketchy terrain.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a great day with amazing people!
I am totally speechless taking heavy adv bikes in to such terrain! Had to watch this over several days as I thought i was going to die on several occasions there. Utterly impressed.
In awe of the original trail builders
I swear...you guys are skilled and a little crazy...good video...
Resale value after this ride -$4200.00 Fun factor PRICELESS!! GREAT JOB FELLAS !
I bought it to ride it resale never factors into decisions for this bike. We have 4 other Camel bikes at the shop that are pristine, not a scratch. Resale is important on those ones.
Beautiful scenery thats for sure!
I salute your skill,perseverance and lunacy😂
Dudes, you are absolutely insane, they are like wild ram, mi respect...
Bailing wire, hose clamps and zip ties. The Holy Trinity of roadside repairs. 😊
Hard to imagine a better advert for those 200 kilo machines! They're great because after a very hard day's rock hopping, you've got a very comfy ride home!
Great video! I appreciate you guys showing the falls and repairs as well as the obstacles you made look easy, a lot of video creators don't show anything but the highlights.
That was fun to watch . Great skills and teamwork . That narrow section with the death drop is no joke .
Yeah... it's a bit sketchy in spots for sure!
Just came across your channel, mind blowing. You guys are a real deal. Love the footpeg hack. Thanks for amazing footages from multiple angles and showing the real struggle.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I just bought the t7 camel tank to go down to Moab a couple weeks ago! had a blast. we got down Rusty nail and some sections were definitely a little much for the tenere! but alot of fun still. the camel tank was awesome 🤙🏼
ya'll are studs, no way around it. I'm an advanced rider, and that trail is a damn handful on a 500, kudos & respect!
Loved watching never want to go riding with you blokes on big bike
Solid commitment to ride the big bikes into that terrain, love it!
It was a good time. We all enjoy trying harder rides and advancing our skills.
That was some kind of awesome trail repair. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and the way you handle that T7 is expert. Me thinks it was a good idea that I turned my Gladiator around that day at the creek for sure.

Gotta love the EXC, brilliant bikes
You guys are hard core! It’s good to see adventure riders actually show what bikes can do, especially ones like the Tenere 700 that’s seldom seen in such extreme riding conditions. A thousands likes👍👍👍👍👍
Nice to see what a Tenere can do.
I am on the waiting list and plan to do trails as well as dirt roads
I found this video after purchasing some Camel ADV products. I’ve ridden this on a KTM 450 EXC and it was a challenge. This video puts me right back there. No way I would try this on my T7! These guys are total studs and totally change my preconception of “adventure bikes”. I bought mine to take it easy ;)
It was a fun trail... definitely challenging!
Maniacs! I think I ride rhe T7 hard and then a watch this video and humble myself.
Awesome stuff!
Pure madness! Love it 🤙 Takes some balls (and skill) to ride big bikes through that kind of shit, let alone with one fucking foot peg. Great riding fellas 👌
Days like that are rare... great group and an awesome trail! Good times.
You guys are great riders! I’ve done this trail on a mountain bike but I’d never try it on my dirt bike after watching this. Excellent video guys!
We all had a great day. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
props to all who do such things on big bikes - bravo boys n girls, i am happy on my exc500 thanks
pretty gnarly man hell of a ride
Bloody well done lads! This is the type of thrill/excitement as well as camaraderie we love to see! Well done sir, well done!
It was a good team building exercise for sure!
Absolutely insane on those big bikes! And with only one footpeg! Well done!
I would have preferred two pegs for sure! That breakage added an extra layer of...fun?!
Man that cruxing crux !!! Well done, right on the edge of that cliff, hairy stuff
You guys bottomed out so much, those skid plates are amazing not to mention that foot peg repair under normal conditions sure it would of held up just fine
Thanks for sharing, I have learnt so much watching you guys today as that all I can do is live vicariously due to a broken ankle doing something similar to you in the Aussie bush
I rode home 40km in the bush with a broken tibia
There is something about doing this sort of riding that people who don't understand
It gets in your blood that's for sure
Bringing heavy street bikes to Moab, on trails designed for lightweight enduros, what an adventure, thanks for sharing!
It's not for everyone but we enjoy it!
@@CamelADV no criticism implied, I am amazed at the skills and the commitment to ride these trails, great work my friend!
The safety wire/hoseclamp/ziptie trifecta got me good.
Totally insane. Congrats on pushing Man and Machine to the limits.
Awesome job on fixing that peg!!!
That’s really putting the adventure into adventure biking 👍
Got here wanting a T7 - Left here needing a 500
Awesome video… real life problems and solutions while riding. Thanks for sharing and keep ‘em coming.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Gnarly workout! Great positive teamwork attitude. Scary!
We had the right guys on the right day on the right trail. It was one of those rides that's few and far between.
You guys are mad men!
So I've been told!
I would of tapped out at 5 minute mark, impressive!
One of the guys tapped out a few minutes in. Andy rode back out with him to make sure he got to the trailhead. It's admirable to know your limitations and tap out before you get in a bad situation.
All I can say is just WOW, great job, excellent teamwork!! Epic adventure!.. thanks for sharing!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow… very well done! Very impressive stuff throughout. Quite the entertainment!
I'm glad you liked it!
Y'all are crazy. I love it!
Crazy is a word we hear a lot!
What I see is an amazing trip matching great riding skills. You guys are awesome.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are nuts. And, I loved the video

Wow! that's amazing well done guys, I wish we had stuff like that in the UK!!
Wow , I've ridden some tough trails but nothing like this , well ridden .😎
It's been on the hit list for a few years, it was good to actually get it done! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Nice Team Work!
Teamwork indeed! It was a great group.
Total animals, you guys can ride there's no arguing that! Maybe one of the most compelling videos I've seen tempting me to get a T7. Yamaha should sponsor this vid.
Chapeau! I would have shit my pants. To see what a T7, with a fantastic driver, can be is amazing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoy watching every second of these video 👍 Awesome trial and fantastic riding and team effort.
Great trip and video. Looked like fun.
It was a good day. Looking forward to the next one.
What an epic freakin ride, you guys rock!
🤘😎🤘
Really sano setup on the Camel suspension! Impressive, not too much bashing other than catching a peg.
balls the size of saturn you guys!!!! to take those bikes over that track!!!!no way i could have done it!!!and seeing the ohlins t7 deflecting off everthing (probably works amazing the other 99.9%of your trip!) and choosing to run alloy instead of steel footpegs (in that enviorment!!)..wow....and the drone footage deserves another wow too!!!great stuff gentlemen!!!!

Well done fellas. hope there wasn't too much damage all round. Thanks for a damn good watch. Love technical stuff.
Thanks! A few scratches and a peg... not bad!
haha technical stuff? what wasn't ?

You guys rock👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great video, that is a gnarly trail , gonna have to start carrying a spare pegs for the rougher stuff . tie wire always to the rescue
It's the first peg I've ever broken. Those had been on there for a couple years and have seen some serious abuse. I exceeded it's service life ;)
So did this with the 2 stroke And my 500 KTM. Not sure T7 and I want to do this.
The 300 or 500 make way more sense! I'm a bit weird as I'm far more comfortable on ADV bikes than on dirt bikes. I just sold my 350XCF-W and my trials bike because I never ride them, I always feel like a bear on a tricycle! I'm at home on an ADV bike.
The ADV Savages are at it again in the Moab. Impressive stuff fellas!
It was SO good to be back after missing 2yrs due to border closures. I love that place!
@@CamelADV it was on the todo list for this year but got postponed. Next year hopefully. Never been. Looks amazing!
Outstanding effort gentlemen 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great trip video and awesome fix on the foot peg. Ive been in that situation with a foot peg on a moderate-easy route so you win the prize for worst return trip possible with a broken peg! Keep up the hard riding, thanks for sharing. Hope we get to ride again one day, Im on Husky 701 now and loving life.
I'd love to ride with you again Randy, it's been too long! Are you going to the Touratech Rally?
@@CamelADV going to try and get there but my work schedule keeps changing so it's been hard to commit to things. If I head there, I will look you up! Thanks for asking.
Super impressed with you guys! That takes guts (and skill) to even try that type of terrain.
Thanks! Cliff Hanger has been in my head for a few years. I'm glad I got the right group of guys together to make it happen!
and you all gotta be in awesome shape!!!!
Yup I’m bring my stock foot pegs for my T7 with me on off road trips lol

The cost for failure is high in a few spots!
Can I humbly request a video on all the mods you've done to your T7? there's a lot going on there
It is something I've been meaning to do but it always gets pushed off.... it's on the list!
Gymmy tires needed eyy..
Very nicely done cory, poor footpeg though.

It was a fun day with a great group of guys.
Just the trail name “Cliff Hanger” would scare me off😨. Well done!
Wow that was intense Corey
It certainly was intense in spots!
Next time you can roll the bike back on those balls of steel you’ve got!
Ps thanks for the anxiety ! Also, AMAZING WORK
It was definitely work getting through. We had a good group and had fun doing it.
Simply amazing! What a spectacular trail and video, and you guys have incredible big bike skills. Cory you did things with one foot peg most can't do with two. As a T7 owner it's amazing what can be done by those with amazing big bike skills. Would never attempt that myself, buy it sure was fun to watch
The peg situation certainly added to the challenge. If everything goes as planned, can you still call it an adventure?!
How bloody good 👍 👍 👍
Tough trail guys w big bikes nicely done and great teamwork. You’ll need a block and tackle or winch setup soon!! My AT is too fat for this trail but my CRF450 would eat on this trail.
The 450 would definitely be a much better option. Charles was have a much easier time on his 500 (obviously).
Just amazing! F*ckin' amazing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Kelly!
Just noticed you are running a Wings exhaust. Is that your Camel ADV high exhaust mount kit? are they compatible?
Rally Motor in the Netherlands had Wings do a short run of mufflers to work with our pipe. The pipe ID is bigger than normal and the hanger clamp is different as well. The regular Wings T7 can muffler can be made to work but it takes some effort.
@@CamelADV thank you for the quick reply I may have to do that
Hardcore riding
Trails like these are pushing a ADV bike to its limits and become more like work than fun. The only one having a good time is probably the 500exc.
It’s like pushing a round peg through a square hole. Sure, it can be done, but it’s a lot harder and you’re going to do some damage. Using the right tool for the application makes life so much more enjoyable.
And my buddys laugh when I show up on a "big ol 500 exc" at Moab lol
LOL!
Great ride fellas! I'll bet you will be carrying an extra peg in your backpack for the rest of your life now lol😅👍👊
Wow you guys are mad :) Nice work! I know who I'm not buying a used bike from.
Most of my bikes are in excellent condition, they rarely get ridden. The ones I REALLY like get get the wheels ridden off them!
Wondering what was more useful for this trip, your skills and technique of the huge set of balls you seem to have, to go into these challenges...?
Were you bottoming out your forks on those drop offs? That's one of the issues I have on my T7.
Did you modify yours in any way?
My suspension is all new, YZ40F KYB forks and a TFX shock. Andy's T7 is Ohlins front and back.
Супер профи
This was so rad! Can we go back dad!?
Anytime Andy! Of course we have other dragons to slay first...
