Hey, amazing video! How long did the whole descent take? Also, I'm going to be in the area this summer and will try to do a ride like you did. Do you know the names of the individual trails you took? When I look up Gornergrat, it seems like that is the name of the top section that there might be a few different possibilities to continue down the mountain like you did. Thanks!
Wow! Amazing video, hope you were alright! Viva La Grisha! I love Graubunden! Next year I will be back! Unfortunately, this year's finances did not allow for it. It reminds me a bit of the upper part of Val Mora.
No issues with assembly for me ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
Love the bike design ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
I love you !!! Hahahaha could absolutely feel the excitement and childlike happiness through the screen with you, only as mtbkers know how stupidly happy something like that can make you! <3
hello , im atonished with your videos . I need a company that help me to make a tour like this , you have one that you can recommend . Thank you so much!!
My wife and I rode this yesterday, inspired by this video. Amazing everything! The video doesn’t do it justice, the effort, the skills required and the exposure. The trail down from the refugio at Rhorbachstien has been realigned because of construction btw.
@@RobinsBikeAdventures the irrigation channel cut into the cliff. I was expecting the tunnel where you took your wheel off but didn’t find it, all the rest looked the same. None the less, amazing ride, you’ve given us plenty of inspiration for our visit
Robin, great to see you again! I hope you’re able to get out and enjoy your passion more this summer. Edit; no mountains where I live in Queensland, but my local national park is a place to enjoy the tall Eucalypts, listen to the birdsong and see the wildflowers coming into blossom now. It soothes my soul.
Great to hear you are enjoying nature!Actually I am riding quite frequently, but filming and especially editing not so much recently - takes a lot of time...
Glad to see your return mate!! 😀🤘 saludos desde México!! 😎✌and same to me the best is enjoy the nature and the exercise but in bike or walking cause we have to repect the nature I hate motorbike in nature only in highways!!
my dad introduced me to mountain biking when I was 7. I love the satisfaction of pedaling all the way to the top and the sensation while descending feeling the air thru your hair and watching how high you've come. this is why I love mountain biking
When I'm riding uphill, it often feels like I'm not getting anywhere. But when you look down after 1 or 2 hours, you see what you have achieved with muscle power. Feels awesome :)
AFAIK they are the same as normal bikes from a legal point of view. I would however not recommend doing this tour with an electric bike, as it involves quite some pushing and carrying of the bike...
Great video Robin. I've ridden this trail twice however the second time the snow was very bad and made the riding impossible and dangerous. What month was it when you rode the trail? We plan to try and ride the trail again at the end of July this year. Keep the videos coming
Glad you enjoyed the video! This was filmed at around the 20th of August. It's always difficult to predict snowpack, but I think that chances at the end of July are quite good :). There is a webcam on the highest point which might give you an impression about the current conditions: www.bergfex.ch/crans-montana/webcams/c1803/
Thanks for laughing and talking with yourself with all the magnificence surrounding you. Most u-tubers express no emotion. When I'm out I can't help but to talk with myself to laugh at me and my riding.
Is this route at all possible on a rigid gravel bike rather than mountain bike? If not, are there any gravel-bike friendly routes you recommend? Planning to be passing through the alps from Lucerne to Lugano
Disclaimer: I have never ridden a gravel bike. Still, I'm quite sure this trail is NOT suited for a gravel bike. Even with a full-suspension mountain bike, this tour is quite a challenge. As I do not ride gravel bikes, I do not really have any recommendations either.
Really nice trails you have in Switzerland, wish we had that kind of riding here in Sweden too. Keep up the good work with riding new trails and I hope to see many more videos of your trips.
Hi Robin, I have just come across your channel. It is fantastic. Stunning scenery with very skillful riding included. You encapsulate the joy of riding. Thank you for your English commentary. Regards from Manchester, England.
Unfortunately I don't have an exact track. I adapted the following tour: www.ride.ch/de/touren/motto-darbino (I took a different route up because there was too much snow further up the mountain)
