BEST BIKE FOR EXTREME ENDURO, CROSS TRAINING & ENDUROCROSS?
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
From our huge collection of free training vids at http://crosstrainingenduro.com So many choices for cross training, extreme enduro and enduro riding - four stroke, two stroke, hybrid and even trials bikes. Cross training applies the same principles to enduro bike and the clutch becomes an extension of your thottle at both low and high speeds. We look at the pros and cons of each, but not looking at specific brands as such. The trials skills needed for extreme enduro and endurocross are favouring the hybrid bikes and trials bikes for cross training purposes e.g. the KTM Freeride, Sherco X-ride and Ossa Explorer.

Cross training is about applying trials techniques that emphasize balance, traction and throttle/clutch control - these can be learned on any bike regardless of whether you potter around on a dirt bike or are getting into endurocross and extreme enduros. Having said that, you will definitely find that the major factor involved with your choice of bike is weight - the lighter your dirt bike is, the more you can apply cross training techniques. We'll start with the heaviest bikes and work through to the lighter ones. FOUR-STROKE ENDURO BIKES 102 TO 115KG (224 TO 255 LB) What is this cross training? A small group of Australian riders decided to take on the challenge of learning these techniques in their early 50s, figuring it was now or never to learn some serious enduro skills before their creaking bodies said enough is enough. Many riders will happily choose a heavier four-stroke if it suits their riding style. Traditionally four-strokes have been up 13kg heavier than two-strokes but some European bikes are now getting quite light. Disadvantages? Four-strokes have more complicated engines so servicing is more expensive and tedious when it does occur. They only fire half as often so cannot match the two-strokes for outright power. Nonetheless, you will occasionally see the top riders in endurocross and extreme enduro events on four-strokes. When the going gets really tough and slow, the four-strokes are more likely to overheat. A top rider on an old ag bike will smoke any of us average joes in any conditions other than an outright drag on smooth ground! Remember this when deciding on a best bike for cross training. A little over a year ago they started pouring over extreme enduro video footage for tips on extreme techniques, and bought trials bikes to develop the skills that Graham Jarvis kept emphasising. If you are thinking of getting into extreme enduro, or simply want to take your riding to the next level, this cross training approach to dirt riding is definitely worth a try. Not surprisingly, trials skills are most easily learnt on a trials bike. Consider getting a trials bike and joining a club. The vast majority of the skills are directly transferable to your enduro bike. Obviously the enduro bike is heavier, you have less grip, and your body weight won't influence the bike as much, but the key dirt riding skills are all there for the taking. What do all the world's best extreme enduro riders have in common? Almost without exception they are former trials champions who applied who have applied trials techniques to their dirt riding skills to tackle some of the world's toughest events - Romaniacs, Erzberg, The Roof of Africa and Hells Gate. At first glance, trials riding doesn't appear to have much in common with dirt riding as much of the action happens at walking speed or even slower - but the balance, precise, traction and clutch skills help with enduro riding, especially for extreme enduro. The growing interest in extreme enduro has seen a resurgence in trials riding riding internationally, and many dirt riders are now joining trials clubs to improve their overall skills for basic dirt riding or hard enduro events and endurocross.

so you are saying that i could do the same things with my Honda 50cc? i am not kidding, i'd like to do these sort of stuff but i dont think i have the power at all
-
Should i consider getting a fuel injected 4 stroke and change the mapping for all low down power
-
Think you missed a bike for the best bike contender - Maico 700. Cause a 700cc two stroke couldn't be a bad idea.
-
Someone probably took the dr 650 and fucked it up because of this video
-
Perfect bike would be 250 cc, light weight, 4 stroke, liquid cooled. Oh parts have to be cheap, because you will need lots of parts replaced while training.
-
Quite interesting, that BMW would call my (freshly obtained) G650 xChallenge a hard enduro bike, when it doesn't fit the bill with its 652cc displacement and about 150kg weight.. Or do they mean it's a hard bike to enduro?... :D
Still.. can't wait for the winter to start and be over and done with so I could start implementing (very carefully, of course) all the knowledge I get from this channel ;)
Loving the channel! Informative and funny.. thought can't quite decide which one more :P -
This is a great video. Thanks

New Hybrid Honda 4Ride
-
Is there a 3 stroke
-

-
I have an XR100R and am of the younger age, I'm curious if you guys think it will be a good enduro bike. Not extreme enduro but competitive enduro.
-
Ya so i have a 04 rmz250 kinda set up for trails but i do a healthy mix of track too. the bike really fits my riding style but do to $$ i was tinking i was gonna get this years 2017 KTM 300XCW. i wanted a even more versatile bike that i could turn in to a dualsport. what i really want to know is how hard would it be to convert to a really LIGHT and POWERFULL TOWSTROKE form a HEAVY FOURSTROKE
-
i have been practicing on a sx85 but i keep blowing it up. should i concider getting a new bike with a higher capacity or should i just get another 85 of a different make
-
just the right amount of humor. keepin in classy, san diago

wow i have a friend who had a ktm 300 2 stroke 6 days and had to sell it due to too much power on hill climbs ... his weight was not the problem rather the bike had a power band on very low revs .. his wondering what bike to buy now ... he is experienced and ways just ove 90kg
-
I just sold my Husky 450 in favor of a KTM 150XC smoker!
Light weight and non-intimidating, I'm loving the change thus far. -
Sorry this post is so damn far from the original post date. But, can the Sherco 300 sef-r be made street legal in Ca? Or am I just on a good one dreaming over here?
-
hay I have $1500 what bike would you guys recommend
-
guys, do some series of same techniques training but on dual sport bikes. Should be very interesting as most of people use them anyway :)
-
for my next bike im debating on a 125TS or a 250FS. I like the TS because it seems better and im only 5'8'' and its cheaper, but im afraid the power is to sensitive, hard to control, powerband etc.... i currently ride a ttr125 (ik...ik) and I am set on either a 125 or 250f but again, im kinda scared of the power tbh. Can anyone help? Thanks.
