Pol Tarrés riding the Yamaha T7 at Cross Country Enduro race with more than 700 riders, The Seeker finishes on 17th position!! Trail bike at XI Enduroc Monster Energy - Les Comes 2021
Pol is just one of a kind. I know that the Ténéré 700 is a great bike but it also takes a talented rider to get this performance down. Well done and great video!
Pol is a machine and with so much fine balance overall .....always blows my mind. With I'm sure 699 of the other bikes weighed at least 50 kg/ 110 lbs less ..... Yamaha must give him credit lots of credit.
Other racers : " whaooo.... too hard !!!! 😱" Pol: " hold my beer !!! Let me show you .... with my 220 kg ..T7 !!!!"😂😂😂 Pol the beast !! In the "SEEKER " we trust !!! Great thank's Jaume 🙏😀🙏 Richard Lionheart 👍😎🇫🇷🏁
People like Pol Tarres and Toni Bou (are there any others?) really do show that almost any well prepped close-to-standard ADV mount is massively capable. Modern bikes are truly incredible and watching Bou and Tarres ride them is a joy.
Fantastic ! Great video. Only one note: in the beginning Pol insisted that his T7 should be as close to stock as possible , but this is not the case anymore. His suspension for example is brutal now.
A 450lbs. bike, yeah he has very stiff springs. Needs them. Heck, I have a KTM 450 xcw and have 2 size larger springs than stock. I weigh 210 lbs and use to ride hard. Maybe go down a rate cause of my age.
Yo estoy alucinando, vamos que ahora para Cross y Enduro mejor una Maxi trail! Hahahaha igualito que el Kirian Mirabet pero el con una África Twin brutal!!!
I still haven't found out why this man rides the T7 instead of enduro bikes. Does he prefer the T7 over smaller more agile enduro bikes or is it some kind of bet? Publicity/sponsorship?
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr yeah definitely, as for hill climbing I like the going up part just not the coming down so much, as the brakes don't seem to do much at all. Just got to know where your going before you get there. 😆
new t7 owner here. been riding enduro on a ktm 300 for 10 years. this bike looks so out of place in this race, kind of like watching a 300 do trials. just because it can, doesnt mean that it should. At least not something "normal" riders should attempt
imagine he is been on this t7 long enough and he switched to ktm 2stroke. imagine how easy for him to handle the 2stroke which is 1 times lighter than this t7.
T700 in Stock is immposible to ride in this Race in this Speed. You have to spend so much money in better parts in that Bike....and we are Not like Pol.
