The 5 Miles of Hell trail in southern Utah has long been known to be a torture test on even the most skilled riders and capable of machines. Four years ago, the Rocky Mountain crew attempted our most ambitious cheap bike challenge to date: $500 budget motorcycles on the infamous 5 miles of hell. Now, we're back for more punishment as we take Yamaha TW200s on the 5 Miles of Hell for some hard enduro riding in one epic day of battling the heat, our bikes and each other! Watch to see if we make it out alive and with our bikes still in one piece!

Highest mileage TW wins an award! Comment ACTUAL MILEAGE below! - Wes
I only have about 1700 on my 2019 TW but that is all off road/trail miles.
2007 Yamaha TW200 - 3,822 miles
87 tw200 25,000
Dual Dorks & Till Death Dual Us Sport seriously need to chime in here.. I'm pretty sure that by now, both of their TDubs have got the rest of our mileage put right to shame!
[Mine has been semi-hibernating for 2 seasons now, so I had to bow out] 😁
Not mine but a local guy who goes by longroof online got around 70k miles
TW200 = no rads, no water pump, no electronic senders or gizmos, NO worries... just fun!!!
Great vid!
We all questioned our reliability much more than the bike's. They were great in that regard - Wes
And don't forget that they are street legal from the factory.
What I got from this: TW200’s are badass despite not being so on paper, and Charles is a badass
You would not be mistaken with that statement! Charles was a boss all day. All the hard enduro riding he'd been doing paid off big time!
Man i bought one cheap years ago for something to just tool around on cheap. Now i love the little thing. Its been all over Utah and Colorado. If you want to know any trails not to do Colorado hit me up. We got in some some trails like this in Colorado and everybody wanted to give up but we made it. Honestly for me it would have been harder on a big bike. These these bikes are great for scenic slow cruising or slow technical stuff. Ive put over 15,000 miles on these bikes
St Charles...cough
Is the badass a medical condition, should have that looked at and get a professional opinion.
Modern cowboys dont understand the advantage of a mule over a horse.
Charles out there proving the bike is capable of anything you point it at, if you're a worthy rider!
Charles crushed it out there! He made some of the hardest obstacles look eaaaasy. - Chase
Feet. on. pegs.
it's not the bike, it's the rider! anything is possible with the right skillset :D
Yessss! It's about the pilot! 😂
@@alexicon_ I'm new to the sport (just bought my first TW), but your comment makes me think of Toni Bou. The first time I saw that guy, I was convinced he could do it all on a pogo stick, if needed.
Welcome to riding in the 80's.
Dude, Charles is a dog man. Newfound respect for that dude. And I've been in the same situation as Chase there. The breaking point where you're like, "I'm effing over this...". Glad you pulled through and completed. Overcoming that kind of adversity is such a great accomplishment. I went through the same thing doing the Odessa Desert 100 last year. 7 miles left, and I just wanted to be done. But I pulled through and crossed the finish line. Best feeling ever.
Thanks man! The heat and lack of water was a killer but glad we all pulled through and Chase got his redemption! ...Nice work on the Odessa, I hear it's no joke!! -Charles
I think we all have Jacob! But, the cool thing is, you're able to admit it! 👏 I've been there plenty of times myself
This sort of video is the only reason I'm subscribed to you guys. It's the best.
We appreciate you!
@@rmatvmcI can't wait to get back out to Moab. I don't have the crew or skills for a trip through 5MOH, but I'd do White Rim again in a heatbeat.
You mean the way they took this bike way past the limits of it's design and when it actually made it through the whole thing they gave the bike not a bit of respect? I guess they were too busy slapping their own silly azzes on the back to do that...
Yep, I’ve been patiently hiding all the other (sx) video notifications waiting for this type of crazy content. The water filled tire prank at the end was BRUTAL!
I love my TW and I will take it places I would never attempt on my DR 650 but after watching this video I realized it is the wrong bike for this trail. There is no right bike for me to ride that trail though! It would have been fun 50 years ago and a real challenge 40 years ago, but now I couldn't even walk that trail safely. Thanks for the laughs guys, keep it up! Not all of us are interested in the latest mx bikes so keep the adventure riding videos coming.
Thanks. I have to say, i thought the TW would surprise me and do better than expected here. Nope! It turned out to be the opposite. I have had several bikes on this trail including a DR350s and DT175. The TW was by far the hardest. - Justin
I am 76, and have been riding since 1966. The bike that I had the longest was a 1986 XT600. I loved that bike, but in 1998, I realized that I would ride my 600 for 8 hours, and I would be stove-up for 3 days. I could ride my Polaris 500 quad for 8 hours, and then the next day I could ride it for 8 hours again. I finally sold that 600, and rode quads for 20 years. Then I decided that I wanted to ride a 600 again. I found a used one in Cali, and drove down from Pocatello Idaho and picked it up. I had to give it a top-end overhaul, but after that it was fine. I was riding it on a 2 track a couple years ago, and there was a tree across the road, but there was a go-around. While doing that I just tipped over. It took me 25 minutes to figure out a way to lift that top-heavy, High geared beast back up. I went back to the truck and loaded it up and took it to my favorite Dealer and had him sell it. I have to add, my 1986 XT600 was a dirt bike that you could take on the hi way. My 1994 XT600 was a road bike that you could take in the dirt. There is a difference!!!!!
I was not ready to give up riding 2 wheelers yet though, so I bought a new TW200. I love this little under-powered beast. It is low geared enough, and most importantly, I can pick it back up if it falls over. In my younger days, I would have loved to have taken my 86 on that 5 miles of hell trail. Now that I am a little bit long in the tooth, I will stick to nicer single tracks and ATV trails. I have a 2022 Polaris Trail quad, and it is the absolute BEST quad that I have ever owned.
I am still out riding at 76! I can't wait for spring. I want to go riding!!!!!
Just came in from shoveling snow , you guys are an inspiration , glad no one was hurt !
Thanks for watching! I don't know what would be worse right now, shoveling snow or having to ride that trail again on a Tdub haha - Chase
Can't believe you left us out of the bike prep! It's always one of the most fun parts to watch. Love these series! 😅😅🙂
Other than bolting on some parts, there wasn’t much bike prep to be done on these.
@@chasetherippa What about filling up Chase's rear tire? (Yea, I was referring to that part that features prep as well as goofing around :)
Front Deathwing gotta go.
What’s to prep? It’s a T dub.
Yes! Love these videos. Great job.
Glad you like them!
*CAUTION* - WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING THIS AT HOME! - Wes
I don’t have 5 miles of hell at home so will do
So ditch the tw200 for an 890, now do you recommend it? 🤔🤣
I would have a tough time just hiking this
@@karlfonner7589 I want to ride it
I'm definitely trying this at home
Putting the legend that the T-Dub can go anywhere to the test 🤘
My wife has a 2009 TW and I loved riding that thing. I would strap a chainsaw to the rear rack for clearing trails.
I put a trials tire on the front and aired the rear tire down to about 5 psi and she would climb anything (slowly of course)
I put aftermarket carburetor on it,
It gave it a little more power and started much easier. Fun slow heavy bike.
Carbs are detuned.
Which carb?
I needed this level of shenanigans in my life. Thank you RMATVMC! 😂
You're so welcome! 👍
It's easy to quit, continuing on was your greatest glory, Awesome ride brothers, Thanks for sharing
I get hyped up when I see a new video from the RMATVMC crew. Love these series you guys come up with. Could watch em all day. 🤙🏼🍻
This was insane! Major respect for finishing it! 🤯
Love my 01 T-Dub. By now it only gets rode a few times a year but no matter what other bikes I get, I’ll probably never get rid of it. I always have a blast on it. There’s some truth in the saying “It’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow”.
How many miles on the clock? - Wes
@@rmatvmc 13k and some change, not enough to win any awards. I know there’s some others out there with a lot more than that on them.
Ahhh...the pranks from "good" friends! Frickin loved it.
So much fun.
And congrats to the editor, fabulous job.
The Croc’s sliding with the winch sold me in the beginning!
I ran outta room in the milk crate, so the Crocs had to stay in the van 👎🏻 - Wes
Zip ties, bungie straps?! You had plenty of room. lol @@rmatvmc
2 bad ideas doesn't make 1 good one ha ha -Wes @@carsonfranks3138
Thank you guys. As a TDub lover and owner...this warms my heart.
Great video guys, been watching your for a minute now with my dad and we love you guys!
Glad you guys enjoyed it!!! Thanks for watching!
Good job for pushing thru
Yes boys! Miss this type of content from y’all 🤘🏼
So glad to see you guys back at it! I've missed ya....
Hello from Canada....great video guys!!! That prank you pulled on Chase was classic. My favorite Dirty Dirtbike trick is turning off the fast guys fuel petcock. Recently purchased some parts from you for my DR 650. Can't wait to get back out adventuring again. Keep up the great content.
So glad to see another RMATVMC bike challenge! I will say I missed the build up to the challenge/modifying the bikes part. Thank again for the great content.
That was a blast to watch! The water in the tire was cruel, but very funny.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. ..............More pranks to come!!
The TW200 is slow/heavy/lacking in suspension/archaic but it has such an immense following. I have tried the bike out a few times and it's not for me, but obviously it works for lots of people. Taking them on this trail just goes to show that it is a capable machine, and also that y'all are capable riders!
Thanks. This was my first ride on a TW. i decided it isn't the bike for me either, but when all your buddies are on them too, they are pretty fun. Definitely overrated though! - Justin
You have done it again! Love these videos! Just remember it's ok to choose a less brutal trial next time. Poor Chase, water in the rear tire ... That works for tractors... Not dirt bikes.
YAAAAS! This reminds me of my first Colorado trip. I was completely unprepared for the mental fortitude it would take to complete some of those trails. But, after we did, there was no better feeling that knowing I did. Glad to see everyone make it out fairly unscathed. Hopefully the camera guy is ok! I had completely forgotten about chance messing with Chase's bike by the end and it made me laugh so hard! Awesome job fellas and crew!
Love those difficult riding trips about 2 weeks AFTER they are completed... They start to sound not so bad ha ha - Wes
Makes me want to go ride
You guys are rock stars...LOL! Thanks another great adventure! Your pain, our uhmm entertainment:)
Just watched the ending. Fricking hilarious!!!
Always a great watch. Thanks Rocky Mountain.
I ride my tw200 through some of the same hard enduro trails that I ride on my beta 300rr. It’s definitely more exhausting on the tw200 but it’ll go just about anywhere
OMG! YES! I love these videos you guys do with these challenges.
Glad to see you all back in the saddle! Looking forward to more!
As Rooster told Maverick, "Its not the plane, its the pilot." Charles was Maverick in this video. Nice job guys! Hot, painful, but COMPLETED. Thanks, love these types of videos.
I'm still claiming it was the bike lol - Wes
I can’t believe you did that with the stock tires!
Tusk should create a good off road tire for the rear!
I so.... enjoyed that! You guys were able to make me feel exactly what you were going through.. I used to create trails for the Post Enduro Assn. until I shattered my back in 2016. I'm now looking for a TW200 which is probably why I stumbled upon your video. I figured the TW would keep me from doing what you guys just did!.. Now I have to rethink.. LOL Great video guys!!!! I loved it!
Thanks, @bokeifus2841 ! Looking back it was a good time, but in the moment, it was one of the worst decisions we ever made haha! Out of water, energy, and motivation made the last couple hours a nightmare! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! - Chase
Nice to see you all out on a ride. Love these challenges, just next time have be safe and have more water😮😮😮
Excited to see you guys back in action.
TW's are amazing for what they are. They will go everywhere they can get traction.
Dang! You had extra water all that time!!
😂😂
Ya know, we've always thought about taking TW's on the Tour of Idaho. You guys may have made us seriously reconsider hahaha. Loved the video. Ya'll are great
Well now you're just giving us IDEAS... You tryina COLLAB?
@@rmatvmc YES!!!! Make this the TW200 ADV video. Just like 8x TW200's doing the Tour of Idaho!!!!
All of your challenge videos are súper fun. Keep UP the good job
Thank you! Will do!
I have buddies that have the older versions and they take them ANYWHERE! Not sure if you all did but they need to be geared down and they are amazing bikes and will take you anywhere off road. Another great video. Thanks guys.
The mighty TW can do anything with the right rider. Excellent video guys, looking forward to more TW content!
This is exactly what I needed during a long winter 🤘
This is the video I've been looking for, for 15 years.
Sorry we were so late!! - Justin
That was SO entertaining! I had just come home from a 2 hr cruise on the new 2024 Transalp (250mi), after some highway, some gravel, some farm dirt and mud. Then while putting it away, I hopped on the recently neglected CRF300L, for a more challenging ride in some deep sand. I felt so good about myself. Then I plop down in front of the computer with some jerky and UA-cam, and this vid was first in line. I'm finished, and still smiling from your antics, while feeling a bit spoiled, but good. I think I'll head to Rocky Mountain ATV now and look for some things for the new bike!
Thanks for watching! Glad we could put a smile on your face! - Chase
Awesome! You guys killed it. Well done.
More of these videos & racing!!!
Wow! Reminds me of a trip to Moab years ago when I was Mountain Biking Cliff Hanger / Amasa Back and came across a very unhappy guy beside a TW. I ended up riding the TW out for him while he walked my bike out. Well done & thanks for sharing.
I wish you were mtb'ing 5MOH when we were down there! I would've gladly walked your MTB out while you take the winch-equipped TW 😂 - Wes
Charles is the MVP champ. Without him I dont think anyone wouldve lived😂
TWs to Baja!
I really like the names for the head cams. Maybe an improvement is to color match helmet to name, and give each person an icon of their choosing? Then after a few showings of name and colored icon the viewer will know at a glance without the motion graphics.
You 5 are warriors! Great job!
Foolish warriors haha! Thanks for watching - Chase
I miss my TW. It was the happiest little bike in the world. Also they have surprisingly good in air balance. I had a steep little hip jump on my track that I could just crank it over.
Great video. One of my favourite parts from the earlier videos was the purchases and bike wrenching. Keep the cheap bike challenges coming!!!
Great feedback! We will make sure to include that next time. - Justin
Love the croc slide
That sounds like cupid shuffle. Someone please make a tiktok dance to this 😂 - Wes
just wow! thanks for sacrificing your bodies and minds to prove the tw can getter done - not that you should, but just that you can. lmao!
also re the clutch comment made @ 9:10 - you boys check your clutch return springs?? tends to be a common problem particularly amongst newer tdubs. looks like wes had an older year, but worth taking a look and making sure that's correctly seated.
♥charles, what a hero! you are officially now my spirit animal! well done man, bringing glory to the tdub and makin it look ez!
Thanks. The clutch wasn't slipping; the bike just has no power! But we will keep an eye on that spring. Thanks for the tip! - Justin
Water Mousse!!! Genius!!
Frickin' Chance
Maybe I should swap out my plushie Nitro for AquaMousse on my M5B Evo for the mesquite race.😎💧 @@rmatvmc
Charles is the man! 🏍
Yeah, he is. You should see him hit deer when he does ADV riding! - Justin
love these videos. keep them coming.
More to come!
I just now learned about the tusk front rack and I need one
Yes, you definitely need one! I mean, it can hold a winch if you ever need one, just ask Wes. - Chase
I love these adventure/challenge videos. The whole gang is fun to watch. Charles is a machine, though!
Charles made the rest of us look bad. We all need some redemption ha ha - Wes
Way to funny guys, that had to have been brutal :)
The water filled tire prank at the end was BRUTAL! Please post “The Revenge” video.
"I'm feeling a little more timid after the broken leg." I felt that.
I want to see the TW200 ADV video now hahahaha. You guys are crazy!
This was beyond awesome.
You guys are freaking insane.
Totally freaking awesome! I have so much respect for all four of you. You have no idea I will finally be buying my TW 2024. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Long and exhausting day, but looking back, it was fun!
Thanks for putting more of these videos out… !
Stay tuned, more action to come!
Love the country u are riding in..ever in Oregon try south east Oregon u can ride hundreds of miles thru dessert
Now we need new Tusk knobbies for the tdub!
I've got a bad feeling about this...
That was some impressive hard enduro riding on those phat farm bikes. I love mine but I don't think I'd begin to try some of those places. I know it would bounce and zig me off a cliff when I needed to zag. They don't seem to have much of a clutch to slip. Maybe if it had a hub motor up front... Nah, no way.
That's some fortitude. Great job guys! I'm glad you made it out safe.
@MOBStreet83: No Matt, no. Don't get any ideas ;)
That's entertainment!! Great job RMATVMC guys!
Thanks!
I can't believe you didn't burn up a clutch....testament to the TW reliability!
Yeah, we're not sure how we didn't either! Those clutches were completely abused the entire day. In fact, we did another challenge (hasn't gone live yet) where we were hard very hard on the clutches and they're still holding up! - Chase
There is a reason they use them for a MSC lol
Love the video guys 👍🏽👌🏻👌🏻
Hats off boys!! 👏 👏👏👏 That was beyond crazy!
Thanks Matt! Let's get together again SOON!
@@rmatvmc I'm all for it!
@@rmatvmc @mobstreet83 yes!! i would love to see this :D
@@alexicon_ Hey Alex!! You won't have to wait long......something is in the works
@@MOBStreet83 glad to hear it Matt!! look forward to seeing what antics you all get up to 😁
Love these videos
Love the challenge vids
Fantastic friends video. This is what good buddies are all about. It is also a great highlight how different bikes make you a different rider. I have a KLR650 and my son has a little 250. I get on the 250 and throw it around like a mountain bike, doing things I would never do on my pig of a KLR.
Great video!
Nice job!! I rode this about 12 years ago on a less than ideal CR250. Had a blast, and was completely worn out at the end. Then you get to (or you used to) enjoy about 2 miles of the most whooped out double track to get back to the start. Brutal but you cant beat the experience with a good group of friends.
Yeah, I don't know what was worse, the last mile of the trail or the whoops going back to the start! Whoops on the Tdub are not fun at all, you have to go sooooo slow so you don't bottom out too hard. But a CR250 doesn't sound like an ideal bike for this trail haha - Chase
That looked like so much fun . A full body workout . I watched this video about 4× already .
Oh man! So much fun - you're making me want to go out in the rain and ride 🏍️🤠
Do this on some talaria xxx’s.
“See you on the Trails baby!!”
Chase had me rolling 🤣
You like that! - Chase
Love it. Keep it up!!
It's always loads of fun doing tough technical riding on bikes that were never designed for it. It's one of the reasons I enjoy mini bikes just as much as my 250FX.
So much fun ! Great show love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks!
I absolutely love your videos! You guys are so fun to watch. Too bad you had to suffer so much this time. Keep up the good work.😂
You would think the soft sand is where they would excel. But no! LOL That was cold putting water in my man's tire! Turns out you really weren't out of water LOL.
NO! We thought the same thing and it was there worst part. Those bikes did not move in that sand. - Chase
Charles was epic! Such a fun looking time on TWs lol
For all the TW lacks, it does put a big goofy smile on people's faces... a good tradeoff, it seems. 😊
Freakin awesome! Loved it!
