Interesting that the UK gets the extreme but not the U.S. or Australia or Canada or South Africa from what i hear ??? All huge countrys with lots of trail riding .....guesss Yamaha doesnt care about making sales

Ive just sold my 2022 T7 World Raid (loved it) and seriously considering the extreme, the WR has a steering damper, do cthe Extreme need one? 12:23

No wideratio

I bet people weren't fighting over the 450 on a day like that 😂

Suffering from mild carpal tunnel and tendinitis. I can’t hold onto my yz250x. Yes, I stand. Now I’m wonder if the factory 300 2T would be the ticket. Hmm.

I have a 2021 factory 300 2T and there is nothing here that would persuade me to trade up…I’ll wait for fuel injection

Damnit Sherco! I am trying so hard not to buy a new bike this year 😅

To avoid such situations you should simply be faster in the prologue :)

Cool. Is there a loyalty program there? "Cashback" or something?! 🤣🤣

Fantastic footage

Why do you kill the motor while descending?

What row did you start on

Should do a reverse grid start and watch the top boys try and get through 450 riders 😂

Traffic jam rodeo

Great video footage of showing the bottlenecks and muddy mountain ST!

Hart said even his first line start people jumped and then he got knocked down in first turn and bike ran over. But he got 2nd, so that is pretty good.

I think bottlenecks should adopt a trade turns method, if you don't make it then back down to end of the line. It is pretty clear your skills may have been better than others but the bottlenecks killed it for you. But getting people to do it that way would probably be impossible. Kind of like getting people into a single lane on interstate early during a lane closed situation.

I like this even as 1 week an in categories .

What a nightmare. I can honestly say I never knew it got like this for the mid-pack riders. What a shame. Well done. A good effort.

Thanks for posting this. Sadly looks like the legend is made by traffic jams. It’s still a great event but it’s time for organizers to make some changes to start and making track not so one lined.

Awesome video. Great job! What a party!!

Thanks for bringing us along to the Insanity, nice riding when you had the opportunity!

Thanks for bringing us along. Good riding!

That’s bonkers. Start line was ridiculous then how the hell do you deal with the carnage and queues it must be the only result must be “what check point did you manage to get to” this year as reward. Well done on your ride

Why not just build a start line of logs. That will stop everyone creeping forward. At least after 25 years they have some kind of transponder timing...Yay

bloody good effort fella - what i hate when i do these races is the people who fail and just block the hill or path, it's like: come on man, you tried and you failed now get down so the hill is clear for the rest of us to have our turn and you get another crack - downright annoying and while i know it is sort of the accepted 'norm' I HATE IT

The start is laughable. Every line that went off was a gong show

It's sad that this extraordinary competition is so poorly organized.. Every single year I hope to see real improvements, and I am disappointed. THE START: you want to start in 10 lines of 50 competitors, but it's difficult for you to have, for example, a red-green-light start, so there's equality for everyone, without tricks and cheaters (just analise this year's disastrous start). THE TRACK: At least until the 10th Checkpoint you should provide more routes/ larger area, to avoid blockages and the impossibility of continuing the race for those who do not start in the first line but have the skills to go further (you have 500 riders, after all, you cannot send them home after CP3). And as many say, "What is the purpose of having a qualifying race in the 6th gear, at a hard-enduro competition? Having in front of the pack motocross riders that cannot ride hard-enduro?" It's a guaranteed recipe for traffic-jams! LIVE STREAM : when you have 500 riders and for 90% of the time you are focusing on top3 (max top5), you are not doing your job well (Not enough live-cams ontrack, or somebody is sleeping in transmission center?). And in 2024 I don't think it's an impossible task to have on-screen provisional ranking with intermediate times in an accurate and professional way, not amateur , as at past and present. As a conclusion, I wonder when the FIM will intervene in this championship and impose some common points for all races (start rules, checkpoint rules, etc.)

Brilliant, well done.

Is the 310 same as the 250, but with an Athena big bore kit?

Nice riding, you can certainly get that ktm moving. Would love to try one of the new tbi 2 strokes.

Great video. Makes me dream of going over and race with me mates!

I want one so damn bad. Went and looked at one today. Didnt buy it tho. I have a hard time choking up 10,300$ to beat the piss out of a bike in the woods…. Hurts my heart lol. Guess ill keep bombing around my 06’ kx250f.. hard machine to enduro but im gettin it done

for an old slow rider like you this bike is perfect

Hello. What do you recommend for front and rear gears?

Just what I wanted to see from the Extreme, not somebody running down forest roads in hamf pace. Appreciate your thoughts!

Finally somebody that knows how to ride and can show me what the bike can do I appreciate it. It was a great Review.

Great review, I liked the new suspension when I tried it. Is that the Acerbis X-duro waterproof jacket? Is it any good? And is it waterproof really?

Nice riding! That's the stock bash plate but not the standard radiator guard.

Nice review - cheers from Australia.

I think that change suspensions of mine to make it extreme too !! Cheers from Greece !!

F------------k that was good

Hi, which one is better for hardenduro (Romaniacs,...)?

I just love them because I'm 6'2 and they are just that little bit taller and longer than the pumpkin bikes, the power is perfect for hard enduro, they don't over heat, so don't often get on the fan even at walking pace. Kiehin SSS 38mm carb can be jetted perfectly for your local conditions at the track, no need to send computer off to tuner. The KYB's are super tune-able. I go 10-15% softer on the front valving and can get shock right with clickers and preload. The starter motors aren't an issue if you keep 100ml oil in the stator case and check clean the brushes/commutator every 100 hours. New Brushes USD $38. My 2018 300ec has 300 hours on it now, on stock piston / barrel and I just bought a new 2023 MR. All the components are really high quantity, Nissan brakes/Pads, Galfer discs, Excel Rims, FMF pipe. Seat cover/foam are great( better than anything Beta). I gear mine 13/50-51. 6 speed is perfectly spaced unlike pumpkin EXC massive hole between 1'st and 2nd. Come with high quality Polsport MX style brush guards, that won't need replacing unless you crash your brains out. The front tire is rubbish, but thats easy fixed with 90/90 or 90/100 fatty for rocks and roots. They weigh a few Kg more that pumpkin brand, but I never noticed it when riding slow or fast.

If you were going to the dealership with your money would you consider the fantic Make or would you go KTM like every one else to compete in the British Enduro championship sprint, cross country, extreme

Still isn’t quete there yet…but I’m keeping my eyes open.

Ktm 300 exc vs crf 450x who wins ??

Just like Beta 350. No engine breaking.

Keep grinding pal!! I think that it could be of use to research a service such as S M Zeus.

Get on a new gas gas and this just can’t compete, the ergonomics are still the same as a yz and for enduro they are just not as good, when the pace gets fast it’s awesome, it’s different granted but the likes of gas gas, Ktm, beta and Sherco are still a more viable buy for enduro riding
