2x2 motorcycle - ROKON Trail Breaker

[@merlin5by533]

It's actually a 2x2x2, with the last two being your legs pushing the damn thing thru bogs, snow, and mud. I want one too.

[@MasterSumai]

I like the older Rokon Trail Breakers with the Drum Type Wheels, that had the SELECTABLE GEAR SHIFTER on the left hand side of the fuel tank. They were faster, than these newer ones. My family & I owned 3 Rokons. Wish I had another, they were so much fun, and built like a tank.

[@bpchristensen]

My legs are tired just watching that video

[@percyfaith11]

you got weak legs gramps

[@roncougar1]

Probably the Best bug out vehicle made, just can’t justify the price tag.

[@ohwell2790]

The base model is $5000 can not buy a used reliable any thing for that.

[@nicolec7290]

Unstoppable with chains

[@rawsonforever]

I had an 2008 model. Their the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Not as fast as a 4 wheeler but will get through a lot of places they won't.

[@KennyRider137]

Keep in mind the Rokon Ranger is street legal so they would be ideal in a winter storm and you need to get to work. It's not like road conditions will ever be like what their doing in this video. Also they make a gang reel mower for these so imagine the many uses!

[@spyke123able]

Unique but overpriced

[@titvitequelcriss]

probably the best thing ever made in usa :-)

[@hectormaluenda1166]

I mean cmonn... The best things made in usa are spacex falcón heavy, tesla cars..

[@Sparkjumper59]

Looks like it’d just be easier to walk

[@pjcd7016]

Wheres the fun in that? 8^)

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Spark Jumper Go ahead and walk fifty miles in two hours through the woods carrying camping gear, hunting gear and the deer you shot, butchered, and still need to get packaged.....

[@Sparkjumper59]

Rick Sanchez C137 you go try to walk on that hideous thing 50 miles with your camping gear and a dead deer all the way to your butcher shop and film it so I can laugh at you.

[@jjjsmith2497]

I came to see a presentation on the bike as pictured in the thumbnail.... possibly in the future? Thank you.

[@nigelwolfe6150]

Is that motorcycle laying on it's side at 4:15 ??

[@timkosinski3030]

Where's the beer holder ?

[@kevinblackshow]

Good no talk vid

[@michaelteeple8704]

They are pretty cool but always looks like a guy walking in the woods with a bike between his legs. If they have pegs they aint used much.

[@mackanarcon8460]

Lol yeah i thought i was the only one that felt that way

[@kavalile1483]

They are mainly used for like camping with gear and going up and down hills if u ever road a dirtbike up a steep hill if u dont know what ur might go backward lol

[@marzsit9833]

in these videos they always focus on the bike traversing the nastiest crap, so that's why you never see them cruising along terrain that would allow you to use the footpegs. i've ridden one at max speed, about 30mph over wet beach sand with both feet on the pegs and it was really stable.

[@pjcd7016]

They have three speeds, when climbing or going over difficult terrain, the low speed is more effective for that type of terrain.

[@Joeak74]

What is that infernal chain grinding sound??? A $8000 bike sounds like that? 8:13

[@reelreeler8778]

Was wondering that myself.....they had traction chains on the tires, perhaps one was loose.

[@danieldidonato3881]

$8000.00 ??? O hell no

[@barryswan3805]

Why not use a snowmobile in the snow?

[@MM-oj7ok]

Barry Swan you can use this thing anywhere mud,sand dunes, snow

[@SandraSantos-rp6yl]

Or make bolt on independent tracks for front and rear like they do the quads

[@dbx1233]

That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! I want one.

[@vernonharris1495]

Maybe you should look in the mirror. Ha !

[@nigelwolfe6150]

looks like way too high tire pressure?? Big balloon atv type tires typically use hardly any air in my experience?

[@lupolinda]

Que curte!! What a blast!!

[@carlbernsen1290]

I like the idea of the go anywhere bike with extra fuel capacity in the hollow wheels but the engine seems underpowered for its size, most 125cc bikes have a lot more hp than this.He was struggling in the snow, wasting fuel, he'd have been much better off with a caterpillar track on the back.

[@MrAluminox]

The 125 bike would be totally unable to go in the snow. The power is in accordance with the capability of the tires in grip in slippery terrain. Low end torque is more interesting than high HP in very rugged terrain. It uses a simple industrial engine easy to maintain. The trick is in the transmission and the partition of the power. between the 2 wheels The bike is made for military and farmers with no special driving skills. You take it and after a 2 days training you can go everywhere. It's an all year/all terrain bike so there are compromises. I have used a Rokon in Utah in the mountains in sand and very hard trails with 18 inches slabs. It was almost as good as my mule, except that my mule was very smart, and was able to choose for me the best trail.

[@johnjriggsarchery2457]

With a lower tire pressure, they go through the snow really well. I have no idea why his was having such a hard time.

[@autofanist]

Noise is horrible. Overall the bikes do not look very efficient but would love to try one out.

[@emmersnoutlaw3188]

Hahah they sound like those motor kits you can get for bikes....🤣

[@percyfaith11]

gimme a snowmobile for those conditions.

[@vernonmarsh]

Interesting machine but most of the time it just looks like a noisy, heavy, awkward, and expensive way to take a walk in the woods. I suppose there are situations where it makes sense.

[@jstnCrawford814]

Ya i want to ride one a bit before i buy one but i never seen one in real life to know if its worth it.

[@whiterock1865]

actually the Kohler is a 4-stroke not a 2-stroke at 1:11

[@fendyrenee315]

Gotta get one

[@newageautotechnology]

The first time I saw one of those bikes it had chains on just going right up a hill.

[@scoutmaddoxg]

Ill keep my argo

[@drorvega9446]

Never never never overheat Hohler!!!

[@SandraSantos-rp6yl]

They need to upgrade the design, use drive shafts instead of chain and make the rear a swing arm instead of hard tail, that’s all

[@russdavis1960]

I don't think those are 2 stroke engines in the beginning of the vid. @2:38 to 4:42, yes.

[@Joeak74]

@@KLRJUNE Actually made in China ... In 2007, Kohler created a joint venture in China called Kohler-YinXiang Ltd., based in Chongqing, China, to manufacture small gasoline engines, and intends to begin importing more of their engines, rather than building them in the US

[@gromkiller7611]

Looks like fun but the prices are outrageous for a lawnmower engine . I would pull the lawnmower engine out and swap with a cheap honda clone motorcycle engine with 5 speed gearbox . At that point then I think this bike might have a great ad5

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Awesome

[@mochtomydamastha1103]

0:45 he's probably high or something..

[@chrisw5742]

Somehow I knew that was coming when I saw him on it. Fish outta water.

[@dbx1233]

No, he's Russian! Vodka dude.

[@edilsonmartins6653]

Lembro dessa Rokon, desde os anos 70?

[@edilsonmartins6653]

! e não ?

[@wisnudewanto3046]

Russian also made 2x2 motorcycle ,it is called Taurus 2x2 By the way, the problem of 2x2 is they are too dangerous for on road purpose because have no center differential. That why ,they just created for off road only & low speed vehicle.

[@rawsonforever]

Rokons aren't meant for roads their top end is just over 30 mph. They do have a type of limited slip differential on the drive shaft between the gear box and front wheel. They call it a Override Spring. Rokons are old tech. They've been in production for over 60 years. They will go anywhere just slowly.

[@martinrussell9726]

Had one in Alaska in the early 70's. They really will handle most terrain. I don't remember them being so noisy. Perfect for hunters if you set up camp a day before the hunt. (P.S. Don't think they were as outrageously priced either.)

[@ohwell2790]

Would never in hell pay over $10,000 USD for this thing!

[@revolution51]

4:32-Dead Rokon center screen. I want a Rokon.!

[@KennyRider137]

Probably the camera guys bike.

[@jerryhoward1117]

I guess it beats walking..... idunno

[@christopherd2100]

It can tow, haul, and drag more stuff than you, faster than you can walk. Through spaces too small for your truck.

[@randygreen8916]

I like it but , think I'll keep my Suzuki King Quad 450 4x4.

[@nicolec7290]

I want to see them pull something big

[@jessepoker2008]

I live near where these are made.

[@BigMerkGee]

I couldn't spend that much on something powered by a tiller engine!

[@christopherd2100]

Thing is, that's exactly what it's good at. Plow your fields with it. It's not a good motorcycle, but it's a great two wheel tractor.

[@mikemwfitz]

It's like they picked the most rotten, tedious places to ride the goddamn thing

[@alexgriffin6785]

Right dude doesn't know what he's doing either

[@dougiequick1]

Looks like too much tire pressure ? Maybe?

[@paulmauer9405]

Toll...braucht kein Mensch

[@chetlovesamerica6783]

Hunting for animals??,,,,only if they are deaf.,,,lol,,,in the early 70s,they were called boat anchors.

[@ronaldramsey7774]

In 90% of use a small motorcycle will be more effective in getting into the back country..like a Yamaha TW200. Rokon's are heavy expensive boat anchors.

[@jasons6307]

Expensive yes! ,,,,but 200lbs is not heavy at all...?

[@aguilayserpiente]

Those engines and gears do not generate enough energy to move the weight of the vehicle and rider up hill.

[@lupolinda]

Miranda concordo com o que disse, mas deve ser uma curtição na mesma. Abraço!

[@nomansland4811]

Check out the Rokon article at ontargetmagazine.com. Does a great job of evaluating the Rokon and explaining it's capabilities.

[@kodyzempel901]

If you have to drag your feet in order to go anywhere whats the point. Might as well just walk.

[@pauls5745]

I thought there might be some commentary on how the power is split to the front wheel. they look bulky really, but could be fun.concept is good for a 4 stroke. a 2T just wouldn't have the balls to torque thru the messy stuff

[@teds4983]

pds tech They do, it's called gear reduction.

[@logan9337]

I have a Trailreaker and trust me it has enough balls to climb a almost straight incline. Just take your legs off the pegs and almost lay your belly accross the seat and hang on for dear life on the handlebars as it drags you up. lol If it went any faster it would be way sketchy. And it weights enough already, no need for 4 stroke weight.

[@шамильмадалимов]

не для снега , сей папелац ..............

[@MrHamanen]

Why on earth do you want ride a bike in deep snow?

[@MrAluminox]

When you have to feed and rescue your animals in the middle of the mountains after a snow storm. Or in a military operation. It's a work horse not a toy.

[@johnjriggsarchery2457]

To get from here to there when there's deep snow on the ground. In a swamp, it's narrow enough to fit between trees that would stop a quad or a snowmobile.

[@markeverson5849]

I'm 65 years Young mountain man with a spinal cord injury I hunt and fish would love someone to sponsor me with a roken so that I can continue to do what I always did my whole life! I can't afford one but maybe someone will sponsor me and then I can take videos learn how to take videos on my adventures and share them

[@smittysmith6173]

Well it looks cool and all but my custom Coleman CT200U does way better than this over priced thing. Just my opinion.

[@nomansland4811]

You're trolling us right dude? No friggin way a Coleman minibike can out perform a Rokon.

[@smittysmith6173]

My bike is customized to work for me and it does. I saw not one thing on this vid that I cannot do on my coleman. Not one.

[@smittysmith6173]

That and I don't have to keep my feet on the ground 80% of the time.

[@nomansland4811]

A custom minibike, very impressive.

[@smittysmith6173]

I should have said upgraded to a monster.

[@nigelwolfe6150]

I keep thinking of having an electric motor mounted above front wheel with chain drive and a separate control "throttle" perhaps atv thumb type? And not a lot of battery saving the front drive for ONLY when actually needed ....because these things as is are obnoxiously slow and poorly suspended ....I owned a Yamaha BW200 with balloon tires rear drive that I swear could easily go all the places I see this group riding....way faster way easier way more comfort...why yamaha stopped making that bike? idk...I mean it was TERRIBLE the moment it got on asphalt but ANYTHING dirt or sand it was beyond asweome! The only thing similar was Honda Fat Cat of same vintage and the yamaha TW200 with nowhere near the capabilty of the BW having less than half as fat of tires ....IF the BW200 had my part time electric motor front drive? I believe it would be the ultimate go anywhere motorcycle ...oh yeah and there were actually two othe sybling BWs Yamaha made...the BW80 and the BW350....never rode the 350 but we had and loved the 80! Nearly Uncrashable childs bike!
