i've had mine for 2 months now and I really enjoy it. I came from Tiger 800xc.

@@bikerbeliever8169 it’s the CFMOTO and my tiger was a 2014. Highly prefer the ibex.

I’m wanting to see someone do a direct comparison between the Ibex 800 and the Kove 800x pro

@bikerbeliever8169 24 күн бұрын

That would be good idk if the Kove is available on the states for me to be able to do that. But I've heard great reviews on the kove

Interesting, why u go to the 790 adventure?

Lighter, lower center of gravity, smoother throttle, more suited for off road yet still amazing on road.

OK ok I see. I considered the husqvarna Norden and ktm adventure before getting the ibex. I've been happy with the ibex but it's mainly a road bike for me so the weight balance hasn't been much of an issue, and after doing the throttle reset the fueling has been fine for me. But I know the ktm adventure bikes are really good from what everyone says.

Im 5'7 haven't had the chance to sit on the bike yet. Would it he a bit if a stretch for me height wise ? Talkest bike ive sat on had a 31.5 seat. Thanks

Uhm it would be a slight stretch, but I think if your comfortable being on your toes and leaning off one side of the bike if necessary you could do it. I recommend going to dealer and just asking if you can sit on one, that's the best way to find out. I actually put a lowering kit on my bike to try and make it to where my wife would be able to comfortably be able to touch. She's 5'4 and on her tip toes. She could do it if she was motivated.

@@bikerbeliever8169 what can you tell me about the lowering kit? All I saw was a lowering bushing on the CFmoto website, but no instructions to download to see if it's all you need to lower it.

@bikerbeliever8169 2 ай бұрын

It's a lowering ring. It wasn't expensive, I can't remember if got off ebay or Amazon. You have to remove the rear suspension, which isn't too bad or don't take too long. Under 30 minutes if I remember correct, maybe way quicker if you know where your tools are. The spring has to be compressed with a press, a strap wont do, it has to be compressed all the way almost, the stock spring is very stiff. Then once you have it back on the bike you got to redo the preload which is easy as well.

@@bikerbeliever8169 thanks! the height of the Ibex is what is holding me back from picking one up, I like to have as good a footing as possible on taller bikes.
