Most Vloggers would've edited the part where the bike struggles and you try hard to maneuver it but you didn't do it. That shows the commitment towards your subscribers in presenting pure and exciting content . A big thumbs up to you and what a great bike your Tiger is. Cheers. And I can imagine how much you would've struggled with a fully loaded bike coming down on these so called roads.
0:30 I would have thought it was a Tuk tuk from the horn. Had I not ridden an ADV before I would have admonished you for surprising me on the wrong side. A 200 kg Himalayan feels like a splendour now. You got balls of steel mate! Listening to that fan running has me scared for em jewels
Abhinav is a experienced rider who has ridden all kinds of bikes and is tall, well-built; so he managed. A small sized rider like me would have parked the bike and ridden pillion on Interceptor. :D Takes courage to challenge such roads
exceptionally commendable efforts bro! I took a thunderbird 350 on that same path and had difficulties because of those narrow turns and the weight of the bike. It takes a lot of skills and guts to handle a massive tiger on those bends!!
Got bumped into this video randomly.. god I have never felt so stressed mentally and physically. So captivating. And loved the stress. I'm madly in love with Tiger and its whistling sound
man thats what i like about your channel ... raw , unedited , motorcycling content ....and i have full trust that , you will keep it this way in future as well.
Too many " f. ck" s.... And so was the heavy breathing.... Being a biker I can try to understand how tough that climb was to the "Stupid" Snow Point ! 😁
I ride the 2018 1200 and I can feel your pain. With panniers and top box the already top heavy tiger turns into an inverted triangle, basically. There's this sweet spot that exists where you feather the throttle just as you start to tip over. Havoc on the nerves but a lot of fun as you get better at pulling it off. Good ride, brother. Cheers.
Hey buddy. Yeah, you are right. Have to have a little bit more faith in the throttle. To be honest, I think my nerves got the better of me in that situation. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt for good reason, chief. it's scaaaaary trying to keep controlled momentum on sharp, shallow switchbacks like these. Hit me up if you ever find yourself south of the tropic of cancer, the beds are warm and the beers cold.
Hey Abhinav, Amazing tough climb, with a super view all around!! I think that the luggage at the back made it that much more tough, especially on the sharp turns!! I know, one day you'll sit back & watch this video & think, "Oh! I did that too?? What was I thinking??!!" 😯😯 Stay safe, take care!! Cheers!!
Abhinav: Tiger is my priced possession I don't want to damage. Tiger: Dude take me of nicer and smoother Roads. Interceptor and Alto: I'll gobble up this roads. Xpulse: Hold my 🍺.
Superb, awesome vlog, don't think that I have ever seen a more honest review. So many insights, thinking if the Tiger is even the right machine or maybe we should have training schools to realise the full potential of these bikes but definitely beyond me 😀😀
@Abhinav Bhatt I don't understand, this is a 1200cc bike, which seems to have plenty of torque and power and yet it has trouble climbing the steep roads. Is it because of poor low end torque? I am planning to buy a Honda cb350 and after looking at this video, I wonder if I would be able to go through sections like this on it.
I feel you brother. Riding these tiny paths in the hills with the sharp turns and every manner of traffic and beast jumping out at you from nowhere is a nightmarish experience!
Vipul Dhanik you gotta be kidding me, you're comparing the dominar's weight to the tiger? Your Dom weighs 190 kgs, while his tiger weighs ~350 kgs with all that luggage he's carrying. Ez pz my ass. Its easier to comment sitting on your bed in your home rather than actually doing it.
@@sinuslebastian6366 I don't think me meant it in an offensive way. That's exactly it was easy, because of the light weigh. It'd be even easier on a Duke 200. I could only imagine how hard it was for Abhinav. Reversing something like a bullet with your legs feels like hell. A triump with luggage would be 10 times harder.
I don't know. Probably it might have been. But I would like to think that even the Tiger would have done it easily had I been a bit more relaxed with the situation. I feel I built it up too much in my head.
@@abhinavbhatt Sure.. Thats possible.. That u were worried about the weight and momentum hurting you and or the bike incase things turned ugly south.. Btw do u classify ur tiger as top or medium heavy and slightly difficult to maneuver? Spxly when super loaded.? Afro twin and honda owners have repeatedly praised the bottom heavy balance and hence maneuverable and flickable nature of even the heavy Hondas. Need ur opinion on your tiger / bmw to wrap up my research Edit : weight aside.. I seem to be ignoring the dynamics of size.. That's probably Becos of my inadequate experience
Top heavy. That's what had me worried. And to fix a bike like this in a small town. And the expenses involved. So I did not want to drop it there and that's what got me worked up. Yeah, the AT feels much lighter in its construct due to the lower centre of gravity. This big Tiger is old school. Meant more for munching highways than technical riding. It will do it, but needs a better rider than me.
Well done son.... One of the toughest rides on a heavy motorcycle especially the hairpin maneovures... Thankfully, in India, we hv our fellow countrymen/women to help us in difficult times... Imagine this in Europe or America...scary... How was your descent?? Would love to see it....take care ride safe.... Jai Hind....
Well cars have maximum power and torque output at just 3500~4000rpm Plus two tires at the front pulling the entire thing.. So even if the car weights 800 to1200kgs Not a problem As Abhinav kept saying, momentum me raho..rukoge toh problem hai..
I have done the same route and destination on my Himalayan last year in Feb...I was on 1st Gear too however Himalayan being a nimble and lighter bike as compared to other ADV's wasn't this tough ✌️
Watched this at first I thought not so bad🤔but as the video went on I have admiration for you & your skills! Live in the UK can't say I have done a road like that on my Tiger 1200 xca don't think I would but you never know... Ride on brother 🏍️💨💨
@@abhinavbhatt you know what to expect this time round am sure you would do it easily, make a video of the descent on the way back would love to see that one😉
I thought there was a problem with the clutch plate to begin with.......i di matheran run on my friends tiger which is incredibly steep as well but didn't find it that hard (bikes clutch did). But then matheran is paved but the turns are ridiculously sharp and steep......i think you should check the bike fir clutch wear.🙏
Oh god. With every heavy breath and swear, I could feel the pain with you. Damn! Btw one question. About the other rider. How??? Was it the skill or the interceptor?? I was amazed
I can feel u brother.... I ride a ducati multistrada 950 which weighs 240kgs and with added luggage 😨😨....it gets really hard to maneuver these big bikes at crawling speeds...slights the bike leans too much too either sides just forget holding up the bike only option is to drop the bike.
"abey merikaise ghumegi"famouslastwords😂 Hairpins are always crazy man, it's tough to manage even a 180 kilo motorcycle at the turns, can't even imagine your struggle.
I think you should seriously gain more confidence on inclines. Try such turns standing. I had a similar experience on the way to Macleodgunj,it is also a lesson in reducing your gear.Since you have the bike at the least skills should be enhanced.
In my Village 125 cc engines will go easly even in small curves and streches exept some load but looks like big so called triumph tiger cant even handle or is he swetting like that
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Had he helped me there, I would have started relying on him the entire climb. Good that I did it completely on my own.
@@abhinavbhatt Great outlook to have. But, that's still no excuse for him though. I too have a friend like yours. We meet and talk and hang out. But, going riding with him? No, thank you. Never. Ever. Again.
8 minutes into the video and I'm watching this with 100 percent concentration,even tilting my body to help maintain him balance on turns.
😂😂😂
Hahahah. Thanks man

Sumit Bhatia I got a 1200 my self. Trust me, he’s burning that clutch
At every turn when I felt bad for the climb and turning radius, I saw a creta or alto parked! :D
Hahahaha. But 4 wheels get more traction and they do it every day. I guess with practice, I'll get better on the Tiger too.
I can smell the burning clutch😂
Hahahaha. Shorty levers weren't helping.
And the skid marks in his trousers 😂
@@abhinavbhatt the clutch is fine right? 😅😅
Athang caM 😂😂😂😂😂😂

hey abhinav, we sure need a raw video of you getting tiger back down from there Xd
I'll try.
This video can have better title "why not to buy tiger 1200 😂😂".
Hahahaha
800 was way better
Haha you are driving an Impala in chandni chowk, it was bound to go hard.
Or Red Thar in karol bagh😂😂
@@DHS562 haha that may still cope up but quite close.
I had just that in mind while climbing!
That's a 70s muscle for you

Man : nahi bhai aise hi jaana padega
Abhinav : Tho tiger ko bech du? 😂
Hahahaha
I know the feeling of saying fuck fuck in mind and the frustration. 🤣🤣
In terms of low end torque RE does perfect engine tuning
Man my heart is beating like I am gonna die watching this.
🤣
It's this blood and sweat you bear with your bike which builds the most unbreakable bonds! Cheers Abhinav!
*i 'm eagerly waiting for the trickier part of the ride - climbing down the slope!* My heart goes out to the Tiger's Clutch ❤
Got bumped into this video randomly.. god I have never felt so stressed mentally and physically. So captivating. And loved the stress. I'm madly in love with Tiger and its whistling sound
Interceptor is such a gem of a bike!!
Truly is.
man thats what i like about your channel ... raw , unedited , motorcycling content ....and i have full trust that , you will keep it this way in future as well.
Yeah. Because I don't even know how to edit and neither am I willing to learn. Haha
Too many " f. ck" s....
And so was the heavy breathing....
Being a biker I can try to understand how tough that climb was to the "Stupid" Snow Point ! 😁
Hahahah. It was tough, man. And seemingly, never ending.
WoW.. just WoW... I own a tiger 1200 XC ... I can exactly understand how tough this is... well done 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My mother was praying for you to ride safe to the destination while I was watching this! Tough one man.

U had a tough time.. was it any better for d interceptor guy?

Because of the weight and the end-of-its-life front tyre.
Waiting for part 2:
*The descent*
Yet to decide if I will do that video.
@@abhinavbhatt 😂
Abhinav Bhatt please do. Infact, that'll be more thrilling than this one!
You’ll remember that ride forever and laugh about it. 😀👍
Oh yeah. Climbing wasn't hard though. The turns really were cumbersome.
Is that suzuki access 125 climbing like a pro @4.00min
I feel you brother. Riding these tiny paths in the hills with the sharp turns and every manner of traffic and beast jumping out at you from nowhere is a nightmarish experience!
Title the video, Delhi boy gets frustrated and sounds like he's crying for 16 Minutes straight :p
lol true, i have done that climb with my dominar, ez pz

Do tell me if u r coming to pithoragarh, munsyari as well.. byutiful place to enjoy snow everywhere...
This is what an Hardcore Rider looks like ...🔥🔥🔥and it's not about what you ride it's all about how you ride...
High time Tigers get a reverse gear, if EVs can have it, "Tiger ka toh hakk banta hai" 😂
Cameras always fail to capture the steepness. Only from Abhinavs expressions, I can understand how steep it really is..
Aama naa..
Man. This bike has so much power! Is this so hard because of the weight or does the tiger have a larger turning radius
Done shit like this on a Honda Hornet. Would choose less weight over more power any day. Kudos for taking a 1200 there.
Dude, I could not help but laugh at your commentary 🤣. I have a 1200 DE and know your pain. But the bike is amazing!
So what would be the best bike for these type of rides under or around 2 lakh ?
Any regular bike would do this easily. CB350, Meteor, all your Apaches, Pulsars etc.
I think the bike is too big? And is the other guy driving a interceptor?
Do u think that this ride wud have been a breeze/ or largely a lot simpler on something automatic like a Honda Africa Twin?
I don't know. Probably it might have been. But I would like to think that even the Tiger would have done it easily had I been a bit more relaxed with the situation. I feel I built it up too much in my head.

Thankfully, in India, we hv our fellow countrymen/women to help us in difficult times...
Imagine this in Europe or America...scary...
How was your descent??
Would love to see it....take care ride safe....
Jai Hind....
Finally interceptor is way better than a triumph tiger 1200 😂
Truly adventurous abhinav , jaw dropping one...
My school was on top of this hill and i used to climb this route on foot. Imagine how many horsepower i had back thn😁
😂😂 such a beautiful place to have a school
which place is this?
Iske liye tune mujse ye karwaya ??? 🤣🤣. We all have such friend.
I'm usually that friend.
How did that car get to that top
Well cars have maximum power and torque output at just 3500~4000rpm
Plus two tires at the front pulling the entire thing..
So even if the car weights 800 to1200kgs
Not a problem
As Abhinav kept saying, momentum me raho..rukoge toh problem hai..
And first gear of cars isn't as tall as these big bikes.
@@maninderbarhampur yup!!🤘
6 mins into the video even I was getting tensed and worried for the bike 😝
Hahahha
Who was struggling more tiger or Abhinav 😂😂 hope u have safe landing
Definitely, me. A better rider would have done so much better here.
Its the ride we seek, not the destination. And man.. u had a hell of one.
I have done the same route and destination on my Himalayan last year in Feb...I was on 1st Gear too however Himalayan being a nimble and lighter bike as compared to other ADV's wasn't this tough ✌️
Yeah. Problem here was the weight and the sheer size of the bike. Also, all the weight was pretty high, making the turns hard work.
@@abhinavbhatt yes of course! 300kg bike weight+luggage+rider weight...you sure build some muscles in these 16mins😋
I'm now very very veeeery curious about the descent, that probably required greater control than the ascent!
I was more freaked out while descending.
@@abhinavbhatt How about a dedicated Vlog on that ??
@@joemathew3100 will try.
@@abhinavbhatt Waiting... 🤞🤞
My man this was incredibly entertaining
How did you ride it downhill?🔥

Btw one question. About the other rider.
How??? Was it the skill or the interceptor?? I was amazed
jeez dude kudos you did it my heart beat went up only seeing these
Between your heavy breathing and the 250 kg bike with its turning radius......
I had a Nervous Breakdown!!! Thanks
Haha
Bro jitni badi bike hogi iska turning radius small hoga you need to find the right point for turn it can get turn on one go
Again u made my day welcome back once again dude
Thanks
The video is as funny as hulchal movie 😂😂😂😂

Thanks

Yeah. The downside of a big bike.
Aye man. Seriously though. Seeing from the last scene. Your tiger is such an insanely beautiful motorcycle. So attractive
Nice ride
But I think your bike is equipped with hill assist then no need to worry on incline road. And I also welcome to our hill roads😅
Not too sure about the hill assist. The problem really was with the tight turns.

Hairpins are always crazy man, it's tough to manage even a 180 kilo motorcycle at the turns, can't even imagine your struggle.
16 mins of skillful driving dude👍
I felt that sense of surrounding and at points felt so scared like I was on it. This is crazy man.
Great video .. it feels like I am experiencing struggles of the ride
I think you should seriously gain more confidence on inclines.
Try such turns standing.
I had a similar experience on the way to Macleodgunj,it is also a lesson in reducing your gear.Since you have the bike at the least skills should be enhanced.
Start dragging the rear brake instead of the clutch. The rear sinks in and the throttle isn't as jerky. Should help a lot.
Man this is looks tougher then leh adventures water crossing.. I hope you haven't burned ur clutch plates please upload down climbing also
why no video of u riding back down??
In my Village 125 cc engines will go easly even in small curves and streches exept some load but looks like big so called triumph tiger cant even handle or is he swetting like that

Fingers were crossed for your clutch
Hats off to you to take that bike on that slope and probably you had luggage on it too haha.

No. Himalayan.
Wow!! Some friend you have there!! You handled it remarkably well; and I don't mean the climb. Dost aise hain tho dushman kis kaam ke?
