How to Improve at Uphills depends a lot on your current ability. With this type of lesson, you'll find the mistakes we're making are very individual. That's why we did this lesson with Lucy.
The idea is to give some insight into things to improve, good foundational ideas and help you to see the difference in technique. That's the purpose on MiniTip Monday at least.

These are so incredibly valuable! At around 4 minutes you explained that zone where your brain is capable of dealing with what happens, and if you go faster you'll just end up doing mistakes. As a rider trying to get better at riding offroad, it's fascinating to see this zone increase over time with practice.

More Brake Magazine gold! You are one of the very best at what you do and having Lucy along makes it even better. Most of can relate to her and what she is feeling.

Maintaining my momentum going uphill is a big problem for me. Not looking far enough ahead uphill has a lot to do with this. I "cop out" by just chugging up in 1st gear but then I really don't have enough momentum to deal with obstacles and it sometimes ends in tears. All of this erodes confidence which is compounded going up next hill when your tired after picking up the bike on the last paltry effort. Thanks Lel & Lucy for this video and pointing me towards the solution. Momentum is your friend!

I would love to see a tutorial on how to descend a steep, bouldery area. I was in Wales recently, and it was packed with steep descents with slippery rocks and I never managed to control it. Ended up paddeling down with my front brake held, which was a disaster. 🤦‍♂️

I'm watching your video and smiling 🙂 because I was in the same place before two weeks with MotoXplorer on a GS1250. It was a terrifying 😱 adventure for me, especially going up and down these steep hills, knowing that I am a new off-road rider. It was an exciting experience, and I learned a lot from it. 💪

Tbh, in Southern Portugal winter is nearly like the UK summer 😅 It doesn't rain much, its still quite warm. When it does rain the ground is still grippy.

@@BrakeMagazine well in the algarve its a diffrente climate, always hot and very little rain, but alittle bit more north, in the silver coast( between ericeira and figueira da foZ) that coast is very very good so many hard trails and hills. If you ever come i would show you some real hills.. cheers

Awesome video 👍🏽 just a clarification, when you come to a section that you don’t want to add any more speed but just to check it out before making a decision, do you coast up with the clutch fully in? I’m confused about when it’s safe to have that clutch fully in for off-road and can’t find much info on this basic concept. Thx

@omicrondec Жыл бұрын

I don't think we want to fully disengage the clutch at any point when going uphill. Gotta keep the forward momentum under your control.

Great instructional video. Does the technique change if you ride an ADV bike that is loaded with gear? Was the seated acceleration practiced to gain more traction with weight on the rear wheel?

@BrakeMagazine Жыл бұрын

Not really. With ADV bikes, acceleration is a bit easier to do stood up. The bikes are powerful smooth and not designed to be sat down on really. The position is not the best. The sitting on a dirt bike is mostly about being able use less energy to achieve the same thing. Its easier to acceleration well sat down on a dirt bike. Not so much about wheel weight.

@Colorado-Tinkering Жыл бұрын

I have to say that I’m still a bit confused about leaning forward and keeping yer butt low and far back to weigh the rear wheel on the loose/rocky/steep hills. I’m sorry, but it sometimes seems that different experts give different advice on this subject. One says, “Keep your lower legs as vertical as possible and your behind far back.” Another mat say, “Lean forward to keep the front wheel from losing traction and you losing steering input.” Also, perhaps a word or two regarding how lower air pressure in the rear tire will increase traction and will assist in making it up a lose hill?

@BrakeMagazine Жыл бұрын

Both pieces of technique are correct pieces of advice. The problem is that technique is very situation dependent and explaining that and getting you to feel it in a video is really tough. 👌 Lower pressure makes the tyre wider. It helps on slippery terrain. Makes going around corners harder.

@Colorado-Tinkering Жыл бұрын

@@BrakeMagazine best answer possible. Thanks! I learned the basics in person from another Dakar veteran and also have been trying to soak up tips and good technique any way I can by observing and asking for help. I greatly appreciate all the information you’ve shared with us already. Let me know if you’re ever able to make it to Colorado so I can hopefully repay you for all you have done for us.

are you always in forst gear or are you changing gears during the ascent. never seems to be much input on what gear to be in

It depends on your ability to change gear, but generally changing to suit the speed you’re doing.

@BrakeMagazine Жыл бұрын

It's actually pretty easy for it to come off. I agree, it's not my favourite way to do it. I find it's quite heavy on the chin bar but we didn't have time to sort something more permanent for these videos. As @Tubo said, it's the dango designs gripper mount and a pretty popular option. It's also overpriced and not particularly effective in anything more than a pinch.
