These bikes are very well built, not perfect from the factory but can be customized to suite your riding style. After owning 2 of these for a few years you there is a great community of Rokon riders (think Alaskans, outdoors-men, x military, engineers and machinist) and you can upgrade the tires and engine. The Rokon is to ride over steep hills, directly over fallen trees, through streams, thick mud and cruise on the single track and fire trails. These are not meant to go fast from the factory.
For me destination is everything anybody willing to sponsor a sixty-five-year-old Outdoorsman and adventurer with a spinal cord injury I learn to walk again but I can't afford a Rokon is there a sponsor out there who would be willing to help this mountain man :-) I would be forever grateful and I would be willing to share videos on my one-man spinal cord 65 year old mountain man Adventures on my sponsored Rokon Adventures. Maybe Rokon would give me a bike for advertisement
My dad bought us one back in 1971 and we still have it and use it every hunting season. It’s never let us down.we still love ours.thinking about getting the new one with the front suspension
I replaced a 400 four wheeler with a 6 hp Trailbreaker. The biggest benefit this has is the fact it is narrow and light. I can fit it in the back of my truck and still have room for gear. It has a ton of low end torque and if you think you can walk there you can ride the Rokon. Another great feature is with a rear view mirror and a horn I've been able to register it for the road as a motorcycle in NH. This ads loads of trails and capabilities as I can ride the back roads instead of trucking it. Top speed is about 35 mph but I didn't get it to go fast, mostly for exploring and game recovery. I've used it turkey hunting on back trails and fields. It'll carry treestands and makes a quick trip to the truck for a sled to pull your game out if you weren't confident enough to bring it with you in the first place. You don't ride it like a motorcycle, in the woods you keep your feet out to steady yourself or just your toes on the pegs.
Very interesting. I like rough terrain but I also like to keep my feet on the pegs and go fast. The Rokon feels a little suffocating. But I guess I've never had to haul an elk carcass.
Love these. Gonna have one eventually. Nice to see someone actually make it float. Not often you would need that feature but you never know. One thing I don't like when outfitting one of these is the ammo cans. They seem to be very popular. Sure they are air and water tight but limited storage space and all those sharp hard edges. I'm more for a soft pannier. More storage and less likely to bite you in a fall.
Rokons don't fill with water they are built as a Military application motorcycle during 1960s for American military personnel they are the strongest most indestructible vehicles in the world and I'm sure you could snorkel these if you wanted to really go there but if you look at the design the motor isn't really exposed like a normal bike is everything is built heavy duty they will climb walls because they have about a 40-60 climb front and back and if you like to go off road Trailbreaker is what you want but ranger is street legal but trailbreakers are nostalgic and they are the original 2 wheeled tanks

yea it isnt going to go across a deep river like a boat with you on top your going to fall over. but you can swim it to the other side started it up and go. I wish it had a quiter muffler though. What is interesting if I remember is you can fill the tires up with liquid
I would never have guessed you had much experience based off the fact you spent a considerable amount of time dismounted from the bike walking it up and over terrain that even a standard RWD bike could have skillfully negotiated. Just proves that not everyone is proficient just because they have time under their belt.
I just saw a video yesterday where a guy who bought a Rokon showed up with the CEO of the company that makes them at Jay Leno's garage. Jay Leno took it for a ride both on the streets and out in some rugged area.
Still built right here in New Hampshire (Rochester!) :) These things are durable tanks, built to be as simple and robust as possible, these are for the rider that values utility, reliability, and simplicity, not gadgets and tech.
Smoke Eaters (forest fire fighter) in Michigan use to (still might) use them with a water pump on the back PTO on my old one. They would parachute them to an LZ close to a water source. Then drive to it and pump water to refill the ground fighter pack packs. If the fire got close they could bug out.
It's a cool thing and very rare in Europe. I saw one recently in Ireland for 5000euro. The truth is that everything in this video can be done on any cross bike or adventure bike.
Or climb vertical obstacles. Nope. Not a chance. I've been riding my whole life. And we had one of these when I was a kid. They're dog slow, but they will absolutely go anywhere
I mean my old Honda 125 ATC actually floated. Like a small boat. I think it wad the tires but you could "glide" it across waters and itd start back up no problem
FINALLY I see a comment about the ATC....I had an 84 125 back when it was brand new, then a 200X...I've still got my air cooled 250R and a Big Red my Uncle bought brand new in 83....I fuggin love ATC's, they're so much more fun than any other off road bike....
If you've ever actually been around a Rokon you would be much more impressed than what this review delivered. In fact, I've yet to see a video that does justice to their abilities. Yes, they are ridden but I regard them as equipment hauling machines for really rough terrain. Chicks dig a guy with a Rokon. It's a well known fact. Yup.
Electric 2wd bikes are impressive, but this thing can go 230 miles on just the fuel in the tank. When you are way out back, it may be difficult to charge your batteries. You can carry more in the wheel hubs, 400 mile range. Rokons were doing this way before lithium batteries and brushless motors were even though of.
Kinda makes sense. The level of impact should not be any greater than what any mountain biker could run into. This thing does not have the speed capability that justifies a motorbike helmet.
@@schlooonginator1227 I just treated a guy that fell off of a 6" or 8" thick pallet and fractured his skull. Wear a damn helmet. I'm an Emergency Medicine clinician.

Every we a party his place called bike fest, The guy that the into production, showed up most of time. He called rock on, not rokon. In a hold my beer, he road up into truck, he was not hurt we all helped save it!!!
Under-powered for a 250 lb machine. I have a Trailmaster MB-200 with 6.5 HP engine with a torque converter and full suspension and it weighs 167 lbs. I'll be swapping out the engine for a Tillotson 9HP and replacing the 46t sprocket with a 60t and it will be unstoppable. Maybe do a comparison video of the 2 bikes in action?
May not have been 2WD but I put my old 75 DT125 thru hell in tuff trails. only 2 places that this would have been better is deep water crossing and maybe bottomless sand pit. Got my DT125 stuck in a river bed where I needed a truck to pull it out.
Are there many used newer rokons around? For sale and how much is the new ROcon I mean what kind of money are we talking here you know I have a spinal cord injury and I'm 65 years young I wish someone would be willing to sponsor me for a new Rokon so I can continue to live a quality life and get out in the bush hunting and fishing and exploring that's what I do best
Same guy who shot his thumb off in front of his kids on Natl Geo Doomsday Preppers! I was expecting him to lose the other thumb in the chain cog or something else.
Did not show anything that a regular bike could easily do. When the bike turned over in the water was bad. All your gear would be wet. The big tires caused it to flip and that would be real bad in a current. At the end where he says if you had 1 bike to choose he'd choose that one?

It should be half the price it sells for. It is just a lawnmower motor a frame couple atv tires and a few odds and ends to make it work a few chains one driveshaft a miter box and a seat gastank etc.. nothing special.
To me it looks as those just walking would be much less strenuous than dragging/pushing/pulling that thing around. It does look like it could be a certain amount of fun, but I like walking.
. The 2 cycle rokons you can almost run them upside down they are lighter , simpler and much prettier .the older rokons are hard to find parts for . All-in-all rokons are super cool very capable 2x2 machines that will take you and all your gear to unbelievable places

Fast is not Rokon. But you can go up a 60 percent grade, nice and slow, quiet and sneak up on whatever.

Yeah but you have to rev the piss out of a 2 stroke to get any torque out of it, whereas the 4 stroke has nothin but torque at low rpm's.....
I ended up doing an electric conversion brushless 3000w 80v . Instant torque. Very quiet .
Only think I saw I didn’t like... looked like the headlight was full of water after picking it up from the side in the river. Is there a drain?
Hopefully. If not, it wouldn't be too hard to make one.
I own a sukoon it's very great to ride and more and less like rokon; On it I cross the gunterham pass and rivoli desert.
