- After two years of COVID cancelations, the Stumpjumper's Desert 100 was a go! 2022 was the 50th anniversary of this iconic race and it had a record turn out.
This was our 8th time racing in the ADV class. The course is a grind, not particularly difficult but it is relentless. The track is covered in baby head rocks, silt, sand and whoops. There is no opportunity to sit and cruise along, it give you no chance to rest. The DNF rate is 30-50%. 2022 was the dustiest event I've ever been to. The first couple miles had people cruising along in first gear until the dust cloud started to let up.

Well done Corey, very impressed with your skill level to get your T7 to the finish. That was a hard hit you and the bike took. That Camel ADV T7 is a true desert beast. 8th over place overall is very impressive considering you were racing just for the fun of it.👍👍👍
Thanks for the encouragement. I was 8th in class, definitely not 8th overall! The top-tier dirtbike guys are cranking out 2 laps in about the most of us are doing one. Paul Neff was the overall winner (he's racing Dakar this year) and he got two laps done in about 5 mins longer than my one lap took.... that dude was flying.
@@CamelADV Firstly, sorry for spelling your name wrong. 8th in class is a good as 8th overall, don't sell yourself short your not a professional rider. What I watch was a very accomplished ride with excellent skills. Your riding a 200+kg bike not a dirt bike. I've been following you and Camel ADV for around two years. Keep up the great videos and the T7 products.👍
As a group of 6 of us here in new zealand on t7s and spending way to much time on simple gravel roads. 2 of us are keen to get into a bit more technical stuff like what you do so this video was very inspirational. Im using some of your parts on my t7 now and very happy keep up the good work
Good luck on your journey deeper into the dirt, it's addictive ;) Thanks for supporting Camel!
Are there many events with an adv class on nz?
Well done, and an undertaking like this lends credibility to your company as far as designing T7 parts.
Some serious riding with the T7! LOVE IT!
The last one was muddy and this one was dusty. Love my home in eastern washington. glad you and 10,000 of our friends could come down and participate in the weekend. You ran a nice race and showed it well. Thank you
I missed this event so much over the last couple years. It's been the unofficial start of my riding season every year since I started coming down. We still have another few weeks or more until we can do much riding here so the 100 is always a great kick start to the year.
Did that race many years back. It was a true bomb run and very hair raising to watch a bike next to you cartwheel.
This was the first time I've seen them use a smoke bomb. I preferred the cannon!
You are a bad@$$ rider! Making a lot of those riders on smaller bikes look like rookies. Great job!!!
The vast majority of fast guys were out on the first wave, well ahead of me. There's no shortage of talent at this race!
I was going to try and talk you out of the climb at 11:20...well done!
I love that stuff! It's definitely more fun with few people stacked up on it though.
Awesome race, awesome riding. Well done!
Thanks!
Cory, I have gone to using external batteries. A small attery bank in my chest pocket with a cable running up to my GoPro lasts all day. Certainly saves time.
I normally do the same. The morning of the race, the external battery set-up was acting goofy so I swapped it out for regular batteries. It was pretty frustrating as I had used that set-up the week before in Moab without issue.
Outstanding effort and great vid, thanks for sharing. I loved the message on the screen, "Just finish" which is what it really is all about 👍💪
I DNF'd 2018 and 2019 so finishing was this year was a win.
Continue to be amazed at where you take that T7 and how you handle it👍
I'm garbage on a dirtbike (bear on a tricycle) and far more comfortable on an ADV bike.
Man my sinuses went on strike just watching this video! Great race.
Yeah, it was the dustiest year I've ever raced it. Nasty.
Definitely had motor on the field. Nice riding
Champ! Dusting whole bunch of enduro bikes on adv!
The fast dirt bike guys were all well ahead of me already ;)
@@CamelADV still! Was entertaining watching it!
Great work mate! I have a deposit on the t7, super excited. Your videos are getting amped up too. Keep up the amazing work.
I'm sure you'll love the bike. I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
In a swarm of thumpers, the T7 is a beast! Great ride! "Adventuer bike", my ass!
I think there were 18 of us in the ADV class, everyone else on actual dirt bikes.
Farrrk me Cory, that was nuts. Old mate at the 6.32min mark looked like he was disappearing in a sink hole at at 8:46mins it looked like a war zone.Great result and good to see the mighty T7 made it home with a busted wing. (Including the rider). Thanks for stopping to change the battery. 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it! This race is either dust and bottomless slit beds or rain and bottomless mud holes.
I was really impressed with how you were managing not to hit anything, but then laughed when the red chalk came out. Racing really builds interest.
I took a similar hit on the CABDR a few days ago, except it was my foot that hit the rock not my front wheel. Nicely done!
Gross :(
I own a 2022 t7 icon blue then accessorizing it now I still got a lot to do but you put the Beast to the test nice job
Thanks!
I wanted to race my 690 but it wasn't race ready, I seen that 700 out there and thought you were crazy.
You would have really thought I was crazy in previous years on the F800GS, Africa Twin and 1190!
Awesome riding Cory
Thanks Shane!
I can feel the rock & dust on my display screen, that was an epic off-roading btw!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Well I feel confident ordering one of your skidplates for my T7 this morning! What a ride that was!
We definitely test things to the limit... and then some every once in awhile!
Wow, nice ride on that T7! I have been toying with doing this race on my 890 and you have inspired me. But the section at 11:20 has me concerned. I struggle on that type of terrain on my 890. Good grief you made that section look easy!
Yeah, the super chunky sections on an ADV bike take some getting used to!
Felt like I need to wash my face after watching this video. Great work!
Yeah, it was disgustingly dusty.
Awesome, hoping my T7 will arrive before next year and I will be out there too
Good luck! Crazy that the T7's are still in such tight supply.
Thank you for making this video. It was great to see the Tenere in it's element. Well Done in the race and the tenacity to make the video of the race!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
nice ride you did your self proud take the medal
Thanks!
no pain! respect
Loved seeing you pass lil bikes on the T7 but Loved it more when you did it on the CRF1000.
I liked the AT as well but it was time to move on and ride something different!
Great race, sorry for the fall. What happened to the radiator and motor?
Dam that was gnarly! Nice Corey
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Well done. Looked epic!
Thanks!
I like watching your lines on the bigger bike. That camera or editing makes everything look smoooooth. See ya later.
DJI Osmo Action with Rock Steady is definitely very smooth!
The exhaust sound of the T7 resembles the roar of a wolf.🐺
I love the way it sounds as well!
Awesome ride, i race the Tiger run gncc on mine it was amazing. going for Andreani forks now and looking for a harder spring in the back.
GNCC, on an ADV bike, very cool.
Wow, props to you . Been seriously looking at purchasing one of these Yamaha's, you have sold me on the platform, although some suspension mods look necessary that's a great bike !
It's a great bike. For regular ADV riding less extreme suspension mods would be just fine!
@@CamelADV Great, thanks very much. I actually was just on your site looking at the front fender mount kit and rear auxiliary fuel tank. Really nice looking products, bravo.
Nice job with the sound and edits too.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great riding man! I’ve got a new T7 coming soon. Looking forward to buying some parts from you and maybe even getting out and doing some riding with you. Hoping to get down to that race next year and see if I can finish it.
Holy! You still don't have a bike yet? I thought you had a deposit in a year ago?!
@@CamelADV last September. Still waiting….
Great showing for the T7 and great finish you ran a great race.
Thanks!
@@CamelADV How bad was the T7 damaged please share the tear down :) if needed
Nice riding man!
Thanks!
You didn't lose the whole bike in a mudhole this year! Awesome video!
You got that right!
Great video. I really love seeing the big bikes out there.
It was a decent turn out in the ADV class this year, 18 I think.
You totally prove that it’s the rider not the bike that only helps
I properly set-up bike definitely helps ;)
Outstanding ADV effort! Congrats!
Thanks!
Greay ride and effort
Thanks 👍
The T7 can be ridden anywhere, just love mine. My high camel exhaust still going strong.
I'm very impressed with the bike and how capable it is. Thanks for the Camel support!
ouch get well soon Johnny's foot.
He rode 25miles with 4 broken metatarsals. He's a stud.
Brilliant effort Corey...great going by you and the T7!! Superb 👌 👌 Cheers, Steve
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super cool Cory!!
Thanks!
Wow, what tires did you run? Looking for something in FL. Not many bikes you can run in an enduro race and then ride 1000 miles home lol!
Shinko 216MX are my tires of choice for straight dirt riding. As you may expect, they are terrible on the road (they are DOT though).
@@CamelADV thank you! Would love a video of your race setup.
Yes, a video on that suspension setup please!
Very impressive!! Very!!
Thank you very much!
Dude!!! I thought about entering my T7, its awesome that you actually did it.
It's good time, give it some consideration for next year.
@@CamelADV will do. My 5 year plan is to race Dakar so I need as much good riding as I can get under my belt!
Great Vid, super skills. can i ask what Camera you using it‘s so smooth? Greetings Tobi
I use DJI OSMO Actions. Their "Rock Steady" stabilization works well.
What an achievement🎉. Well done!! I think there was a bit more than 40% going on there👍👍
The 40% note is actually for the fuel level. The T7 light comes when you have about 40% left. The light flashes and I'm always thinking I'm going to run out even though I know I have enough. The tape is over the gauge so I can't see it.
@@CamelADV 40% with or without an additional tank?
@@TheXboxer2012 Either really. The Camel Tank drains first so the gauge simply reads full longer. The gas gauge on the T7 is pretty pessimistic. It starts flashing with a pile of fuel let.
Bravo, good job!
Thanks!
Outstanding 🏍🇨🇦🙏
Thanks!
Awesome Cory!!
Been waiting for some riding videos 🙌😊
Winter in Alberta leaves me few opportunities for new riding videos. Snowing today but we should be back into riding season soon.
@@CamelADV same here, but now it finally looks like we will get nice weather and no more snow 🙈
How's the bike? Oil cooler huh? You cook the bearings? What was the knock? Great job, I've got a 990 and I'd love to give that a go. Just finish seems like a good goal on these heavy ADVs. Ive got your camel tank on my 990, love it. Keep it up!
I don't know the complete list of damaged bits yet. I started tearing into it last night. A small hole in the oil cooler coolant hose was the cause. Cylinder walls and pistons look good (endoscope). The compression is low but the gauge is acting strange so I'm not 100% that there's a bike issue. I need to check the gauge on a bike I know is good before I get too concerned.
Great job thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Can’t think of a better way to get that adventure training.
It's a season's worth of experience in a few hours😉
Good ride 👍, your the opposite of me. Super focused on getting that video. I get so caught up in the riding/racing I forget about the video. Something to work on this riding season. 🍻
I always need video for the channel so I make a point of shooting when I can. Some days, leave all the camera junk at home and we just ride.
@@CamelADV I'm going to put a solid effort into get more video this year. (It's canadian-t7 from the forum btw, baja designs light tower guy). If you ever make it towards Ontario I'd love to ride or do an event with you.
Man that T7 sure can take a beating. Would you have done the race on a 990? Braaaaaap
I only owned a 990 for a brief period and never raced the D100 with it. They are great bikes for this event. This in only the second year that the ADV class wasn't won by a 950 or 990.
@@CamelADV cool. Been looking at the T7 myself but not sure if it would be a downgrade from my 950. Fun to see what you can do with your T7.
Well done Cory. Great to see the T7 put through it's paces. What other ADV bikes participated? Where can I find the results of the event? I tried looking on their web page but couldn't find any results.
The results only list brand (often inaccurately) but I saw three 890 Rallys, two 950SEs, one Africa Twin, one 1190R, one 1290SAR, at least 2 690s at least one 701. The results show a Kawasaki and a Suzuki too. Officially, KLR's don't meet the cc requirement but someone could have entered one anyway. As far as the Suzuki... V-Strom perhaps. Seems like that would be a long and uncomfortable day!
Amazing
Great work
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice riding! Too bad about the coolant leak.
Pin hole in the coolant line going to the oil cooler :(
@@CamelADV Would a braided line have prevented that? Is it a worthwhile upgrade? Keep up the great vids and product development.
Cory - Super impressed with your line selection throughout the race. Nice!
How about an update on the motor? Is it toast?
Low on compression, it'll need some TLC this winter.
Fleepin awesome job thru the rocks with a 450# bike.
We see what you've done to the suspension, but how much difference does the steering damper make on the T7 ?
It definitely helps keep the front end from tucking and deflects off rocks.
Dang, Cory, I've got my T7 decked out with most of your well engineered parts... but what I really need you to sell me is some of your skills! Are those Shinkos stock sizes?
When I can buy some Pol Tarres level skill, I'll sell you mine ;)
90/100-21 Front and 140/80-18 Rear. They should be considered dirt only. They are DOT but last less than 1000 miles on the pavement and are quite squirrelly.
Great Job, way to keep grinding after that hard get off. What was the cause of the coolant leak, also how did the motor end up? Love your products, I have many of them on my T7.
One of the coolant lines running to oil cooler split when I hit the rock. Not sure about the motor health yet.
Do have a list or a video that details which mods you've made to your T7?
Great video and race. Sure hope the engine didn’t get damaged. I would have stopped to prevent damage.
It looks like it needs rings so only a few hundred $ and a few hours.
I enjoyed your video. Good job bro!
Glad you enjoyed it!
what tires did you use?
Got my T7 finally
Bárbaro tu canal, me suscribo!! Buenas rutas!!🏍🏍🇦🇷
Awesome!
Thanks!
A little more horn work is in order. Beep beep!
It wasn't working or I would have been using it!
Has anybody calculated the mental health benefits of off-road motorcycling?
👏👍
great job rode the shit out of it
Thanks!
Love my air cooled trail ike.
great riding! you are fitter than you look
LOL! Thanks?!
@@CamelADV I myself look fitter than I really am, which would not have taken me through. that race. Hence the clumsy but genuine compliment✌
awesome vid! can I call you Pol?
Thanks but that would be insulting to Pol!
@@CamelADV Maybe so, but still an impressive ride.
T7 lacks protection for sure. I dump my 890 everywhere and haven't had an issue.
I've crash the s&^t out of the T7 over the last 2.5 yrs and didn't have a problem until I did. I had a 790ADV, dropped in the rocks and cracked the tank. Every crash is different.
Very true. It just seems to me that the T7 plastic is hard and brittle whereas the 890 is more soft and supple like a dirtbike. They just seem to crash different imho
👍👊✊💨💨💪
The abuse this platform can take...
It's pretty crazy, this race has a 30-50% DNF rate but the ADV class DNFs always seems to be below the race average.
Absolutely love this video. Really great job. I’ve considered racing my 890 ADVR. I’m down in Southern California where we’ve got lots of desert and sand. Just curious what tires you used. I was looking at the Motoz desert HT.
Shinko 216MX front and rear.
