Does the DCT option Africa Twin work off road?
To put it simply... Yes, but it wouldn't be my first pick. If I was going to spend a lot of my time on green lanes then I'd go for the manual version.

Excellent contents, as always! Thks for sharing Stay safe, have fun, keep on riding Oh, and just for the record: - nowadays whenever I pass under an under-passage/tunnel here in Portugal, I can't stop laughing and remembering your last " HOW CAN YOU NOT?!" gag - and yes, ObiWan, I follow your lead... ah ah ah You've made a proper " live free & be happy tarmac-hooligan " out of me! Glad to say so Cheers from PORTUGAL

Glad to hear biking is being well represented in Portugal. I honestly can't pass a tunnel without revving. Enjoy the ride mate.

Tiger 900 rally or Africa twin .... Thoughts ? Both already have more than enough for fuel so I don't see that as an issue. Only thing that's absolutely horrible about CRF is the screen boot-up time which in itself is enough to bring second thoughts whether I'm ready to go for a ride. Love your Videos always 😁👍

@RarefiedRoad 4 года назад

Tiger 900 for me primarily for the engine, everything else I'd get used to either way.

You should try the Yamaha Tenere 700. I think you would enjoy it a whole lot more

I'd really like an ADV bike, but a short leg makes most of them unrideable for me sadly.

@Dave C I got an Aprilia Tuareg 660 instead, fits me better 🙂

@karlosh9286 4 года назад

Title says "Does DCT work off road?" , what about on road ? I did have a ride of a NC750S DCT ( something like that) , I found it off putting that it would change gear whilst I'm leaning over going around a roundabout. In straight lines it was fine. Guess they need an IMU and some option with the plethora of buttons and TFT "don't change gear whilst leaning over". I can see the appeal of DCT for commuting, but not for me.

@RarefiedRoad 4 года назад

I think it's great if you've bought this to commute or you have difficulty with your left hand and find it hard to change gear but still really want to ride but I would still buy the manual option.

@karlosh9286 4 года назад

@@RarefiedRoad Yep. Me too, I'd have the manual option. I prefer the extra control and quick shifters make a manual "automatic" enough for me.

@ubermains 4 года назад

The 2020 DCT actually have a 6-axis IMU that won't change gears when leaning. The DCT is much improved on the 2020. Same thing they use for their cornering lights.

@stevebolton8471 4 года назад

Unlike a human rider it won't mess up a gear change on a bend so it doesn't matter

@frankhall401 4 года назад

Only one sport mode? The NC750X DCT has Drive and three Sport modes.

Funnily enough I'm testing the Vitpilen 701 at the minute, it's a bit of a contrast.

You should go to real off-road to try this bike

@ecrusch 4 года назад

Always enjoy your reviews my friend. My main observation is with all that technology and different buttons/switches & options, you'd have to be VERY well qualified as a mechanic to own one of those and NOT opt for the full repair warranty. There are a LOT of moving parts in there...haha Thank you.

@stevebolton8471 4 года назад

If someone hands me the keys I'm always going to have a go. I'm on a Vitpilen this week so don't worry we'll be back to business as usual soon.

Rarefied Road Of course, you still make it far more watchable than others. Modern bike reviews are like watching The Gadget Show. Look forward to next one.
