Cliff Hanger Trail, Moab - 700 Tenere, KTM 790 & 500EXC
Рет қаралды 55,713
2 жыл бұрынThe Cliff Hanger Trail in Moab does just that... hangs on the edge of a cliff! The trail is rated a +4/5 and is an in and out (total of 8.5 miles) and has numerous rock ledges and drop-offs. I first became aware of the route 20 years ago when I had a rock-crawling truck. Over the last few years, I've wanted to ride it on an ADV bike but wasn't able to make it happen until this March.
I was joined by Andy from Heavy Enduro (T7), Seth from Utah Enduro Adventures (890R), and "Manitoba Charles" (500EXC). I was riding the Camel ADV T7. We got it done but not without some excitement along the way!

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. 🏆

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.

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! :)

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.

@carlossheppard1983 2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.
