I Took My Talaria Sting Down A DIRTBIKE SINGLETRACK!!! 

You really put that thing to the test. I used to ride trails like that on a two stroke so I know how much of a beating that bike took. I'm sold.

Good to see a beginner ride it and show how accessible the bike is. If you haven't already done so bring the tire pressure down to around 15psi will help traction.

As you progress in skill you'll realize it'll get easier for 3 reasons: Your skill in choosing lines will naturally improve, you'll learn to stand up to let your bike perform better because you won't be squatting all your weight on it (bend the knees), and you'll gain the confidence to speed up which will help overcome many terrain obstacles with momentum. Your bike can handle it, right now it's just the rider that can't. I'm sold though, I will be getting one.

The trail is the music...your bike is your dance partner

This was well enjoyable brother digging that trail man I'm no pro or vet on the trails 😂 I ride trails off and on no matter how many times I trail still feels like the first time but I still keep riding them. And keep trying. Hope to see more trail rides man. Stay safe man 👊

Looking good! The more you ride the better you'll get. If you are ever down in Northern AZ you should come riding with us!

I wish I had that to ride , looks awesome

I am almost as much a beginner as you but the one thing that has helped a lot on the Sur Ron is to learn to stand on the pegs and use your legs as shock absorbers. This alone will change your ride big time.

Been on a lot of single track in my life and that track was hard! Even for the most experienced riders, that would have been difficult on a downhill bike. The single tracks I ride are a bit smoother and have more places to get air, not nearly that rocky or rooty. Some of your trail near the bottom were great too! Looks like you had a lot of fun and had a pretty good work out! I'm in my upper 60's now and miss it as I cannot climb like I use too, so I'm looking for an alternative. This might be the way to go for me.

the thing that is kinda ratteling in the bike is the battery bouncing around in there , there is a brace for it you can buy witch makes it completely solid in there (still removable btw)

Respectful rider. Love that

Great video

Nice trail. I have a lot of single track trail vids and I can appreciate a good trail ;)

Key thing is to practice body-bike separation. Get your bum off the seat going over any obstacle (large or small) Keep your elbows slightly bent and hinge your hips. Try not to let your body come forward to much. Keep the hips over the center/rear of the bike.

The video chapters got me 😂

I would install some riser bars, as well probably 50mm to 60mm that will help with leverage.

Holy crap that a heck of a brop off that path

I see someone makes a chain gide for them hopefully I'll get one soon. Take care

Nice trail, but do you actually have a map for it? Also, on my trails a lot of black bears... Do you have any in your area?

I think Im going to sell my Ariel Rider Grizzly and use that money to buy a Talaria. Just need to figure out which model? great video since Ive never riden one.

Sold on that DJI mic wow!

It's not an e-bike. It's an e-moto. Huge difference and it's not just semantics. Laws. Pedalecs are ebikes. Must have pedals, (must not go over 25 Class II) mph or it must be registered and insured by law in most states. E motos are awesome but too pricey. A new crf 125 is $3500 a 250 is 6k. by FAR better motos for much less. But e-moto still cool machines. 👍

Talking about the noise when you hit bumps that would have to be the battery is a common thing for stings. The battery is just a touch loose in the compartment

Great video my dude!! Quick question and I'm not trying to he rude. I'm in the market for a talaria myself but I'm worried about my weight for the bike... I'm 250 ... do you think it'll suffer with me? Lol

I noticed that several of the more technical down and up hills gave you trouble. Do you think this is more of a limitation of your skill or the bike? I ride downhill mountain bike and Moto. I love my mountain bike for downhill but I love my Moto for uphill. I'm wondering if this bike can do both well and that's what interests me about this type of bike. Thanks

Single track is the best. Not bad for a novice. With skills its epic..

The video greatly misses the big bear catching up with Talaria 😁

Hello, beautiful day today thank you That’s the dog walker special😂😂😂😂

Are the Dunlop tires mounted on stock rims? If so do you know the size of the tires both front and rear ?

You could have met the second rider head-on at full speed when you were driving back.

whats the red light on your left bar?

What other bikes did you consider when deciding on this one? Any thoughts on Artic Leopard, Stark Varg, Drill, etc.? Would you buy a Talaria or newer version again or check out another brand?

I think that is the battery making that thumping sound maybe put some pad in the box

Hear that rattling u need a air wedge to hold battery.

There is a linkage in the rear suspension that has sloppy tolerance. Would you check that and see if that is the noise?

Yeah, I want one.

That video compression tho

Have you ever done any mt. biking?! I noticed that you have a tendency to slow down to handle trail obstacles... From years of Mt. Biking it becomes second nature to pick your line choice earlier, before you have to slow down and lose the momentum and balance by having to get to a snails crawl as you approach the obstacle. You'll get more and more comfortable picking the better lines the more you experience it. HONESTLY, You rode your first single track and didn't fall or hit a tree... SUCCESS!!! WIN!!! SUGGESTION: Flat land balance exercise... Get a water bottle (like a standard cycling water bottle). Fill it w water... Ride your bike with one hand while holding the bottle in the other... Ride slow enough to SET the bottle down standing it up right... then ride away... come by at the same slow speed and pick up that bottle again... switch hands and set the bottle down on the opposite side of the bike... REPEAT til you got it down 10 times ROCK SOLID.. then, take half the water out and do it all again cause with half the water, it's half the weight.. so it gets harder and harder the less water in the bottle. SIDENOTE: Momentum can be your friend. Fear of falling is your enemy. Good Video too.. Decent sound, good Voice over level (tho a bit of music under it now and again would be a nice touch), great angle of your camera, beautiful trail.

whould you say its worth trading my crf250r dirt bike for one?

Ps, that place is awesome

Nice trail lol....

You were about 5 foot behind that lady should have honked like 50ft back instead of giving her a heart attack

video seems to be uploaded in 360p quality, at least for me.

Pls fix your front brake cable

Am I right, you are seating on the bike, not standing? Its almost impossible to go over all this obstacles on seating position. That's why you so tired.

As mentioned, you uploaded a very low quality version.

Less talking and I might of watched the whole video dude

Tentative line selection which leads to failure

Hit your foot pegs on 6 inch rocks. Hahah. Omg

No skill level at this point
