Brute Force 300 | Trail Riding | Peters Mill Run & Taskers Gap 

There will always be those people who could only justify buying the most expensive and highest horsepower machine out there. Anything less is for little wimps. I don't go riding with them

@@ThomperBeThompin that's because you're a purest. Things have gotten so out of control. People fall victim to clever marketing.... suckers.

Right on man I think you're going to like it a lot.

It's holding up incredibly well. As long as your expectations are realistic, I don't see why you couldn't be happy with this sweet little machine. I've had mine a year and now have over 500 mi on it and everything's holding up very well.

These are made by a company called Koplin. You can get them on Amazon and they fit any handlebars

@@ThomperBeThompin thxs

Unfortunately tasker's Gap is pretty Rocky all around. The main Jeep trails there are not too bad but you'd have to go to a place like Hatfield McCoy to get proper wide open dirt trails.

South pedlar is not bad. It’s near where the blue ridge pkwy and James River meet.

I don't, but they are both made by "Kolpin'". Can easily find them on amazon. Thanks for watching!

The mirrors inside the handguards are okay, but the other Kolpin mirror that bolts to the front rack is much better.

@@ThomperBeThompin ok thanks and what’s those handguards brand ?

@@ThomperBeThompin thanks awesome .. your welcome

Just a regular GoPro. I believe it is a GoPro hero 7.

Have you ever tried laying down and riding? It is so much fun!

It has surprisingly good power with low gear. Might want to add a little extra weight on the rear racks to help with traction which will probably be your limiting factor. I'm sure it could handle most regular snowfalls, but once it gets deep and heavy it's probably going to struggle

How hot she get? In Florida. In deep sugar sand. She has 2 bars. Gets hot here. Lol Good vid sir

You can go 24" and no problems... I did. I think you can even try 25". But forget about fuel economy.

I know I'm probably 2 years too late but I drive a 2002 Yamaha Bear tracker. The rear tire size according to the book is 22 x10-10. 22-in tire 10-in wide tread on a 10-in rim I'm currently running 25x11-10. You will lose top end speed because that 250cc motor technically a 229cc tops out at about 45 and I only get 35 mph and that is with a completely rebuilt motor so everything is brand new running. And the tires are also Maxxis mud bug tires so they have the giant rubber fins on them as tire tread great for mudding but a 250 ain't going to push through much mud but where I live they do come in handy when the ground's a little soggy after a good rain storm cuz we've got that hard pan dirt and the water doesn't absorb very well so the top layer gets mushy. Drop it in 2nd. And punch it she'll go I love that damn thing.

Ally enough, I usually see more dirt bikes out there than anything else

Straight up

It's on the peters Mills run side. The trail is on the east side of the primary trail. It's pretty early on if you're traveling from south to North and hard to miss.

Thanks. So either trail 457 or 474 according to the pdf download map?

@@pinetag14 my bad, the trail you get to this lookout is not an official trail number. It's more of a hiking trail. You can see where ATVs offshoot to the east, then you park and hike about 20 yards up these boulders to the lookout. It's really simple but tough to explain.

Gotcha, thanks. Great video btw!

Yup, same with the Artic Cat and Tracker Off Road versions. Solid little units in my opinion.

@@ThomperBeThompin very solid company, I have a 2012 Kymco 300 scooter I`ve put over 20,000 miles on it and its been nothing but awesome, ZERO issues.

Top speed is about 52 mph and the price is an MSRP of $4,400

@@ThomperBeThompin ok thanks. do you remember this brute force 300 $4,400 or honda recon for $4,200

@@1112dejon you can't go wrong with either machine, they are both great. That said, if you are a little bit taller like me at 6 ft or so, the recon will be too small. I would choose the brute force over the recon, but check them both out!

@@ThomperBeThompin thank you

Why did you test drive it in low gear?
