Summing up the bikes spot on. So many riders buy big adventure bikes thinking you can throw them around like a pro rider. For me CRF 1100 for the tarmac shingle roads and my modified CRF 300 rally for off road more challenging rides easy to pick up far less weight and you don’t get destroyed. Cheers for the content

As an Indian, we don't have much options in case of dual sports bikes but the most famous is Xpulse 200 4V which is a simple dual sports bike, nothing too fancy but I really enjoy the bike and its cheap and amazing in off-road and trail riding.

Nice one Solid, and gidday from ACT. The difficult thing is the bridge between these categories. For instance like you I have a CRF300L, but often wish it had Honda's 471cc parallel twin but was still a relatively lightweight dual sport. It's in these crossover areas that many people would like to have options - why the CFMoto 450 MT has lots of people excited (I still wish it was 20kg lighter with less fairings).

You’re both on the money. I’ve owned MX, Enduro, ADV and dual sport bikes. Your definition of these is spot on Solid and thanks for breaking this down perfectly for the broader audience. The individual has to decide what they want from their bike. It’s personal. But the manufacturers appear to be listening and now we will see them producing “crossover” bikes ticking more boxes. The future is exciting. From my point of view, growing up riding small bore 2 stroke MX’s, having recently owned mid CC enduro and dual sport bikes, I am frothing on my T7 World Raid right now for the type of riding I enjoy at 57 years of age and being the responsible income earner for my family. Love your content Solid, you are the mouthpiece for the everyday rider. Listen to Solid, manufacturers.

In the U.S. an enduro is a dirt bike made street legal with lights and a license plate. It has dirt bike maintenance intervals, with those intervals expressed in hours. You can ride it on the street, but it ain’t going to be happy on the street. The dual sport is a dirt bike designed to be happy on the street. It has higher oil/coolant capacities and street bike maintenance intervals expressed in miles. The ADV is a dual sport designed to be happy on the _highway,_ with wind protection and other rider creature comforts.

@@steveh545 Yep. When I was a kid I had ‘78 Yamaha XT 500 _Enduro_ (it said so right there on the side cover). It was basically the same bike as the strictly off-road TT 500, but with lights and a license plate bracket and I think, if memory serves, slightly beefier drum brakes. Today we’d probably call a bike like that a dual sport, although back in the day it qualified as a pretty hard core off road machine. The DR650 I own today is certainly descended from that concept. The lines, particularly between enduros and dual sports, are blurry.

@@steveh545 I can't comment on the USA, but in my country in Europe the bikes are, in general, homologized for the road usage, although you get things like exhaust, parts of intake, etc. for sport use, which most people choose to mount at the dealer. Technically, it is not street legal with those parts but outside of the regular technical checkups, barely anybody cares. One can mount the original parts too, if they want to make it truly street legal. This is a difference from e.g. MX or XC bikes which lack crucial equipment and do not go through the homologation process.

I bought a 2016 Sherco 300 SEF-R 6 days due to enduro fever. What a weapon. I bought a 2017 Honda CRF250L filling in for a lightweight dual sports.

You’ve defined the categories exactly right. I have a KTM500exc enduro that is and does exactly what you described. I also have a KTM990 Enduro R that is an Adventure bike, but is quite capable as an enduro with a skilled rider. The Dual Sport bikes are more enduro than ADV, but are less powerful than both other classes, along with cheaper, easier to repair and maintain.

Good video solid. I appreciate some context around differences internationally. Im in the US, you largely nailed our description but I'll add a few thoughts. For me, an enduro is one of several forms of dirt bike. (IE trail bike, MX bike, enduro) The primary difference is going to be the suspension. MX bikes are meant to jump but an enduro is meant to ride hard, typically on natural terrain. Like the hare scramble races. As you eluded to, a dual sport in the US typically refers to a bike that starts with an off road platform but has the equipment and tuning to make it legal for road use. Think CRF250x and CRF250L. An adventure bike is something that typically start with a street orientated platform and makes it off road capable. Think MT-07 and Tenere 700. Final thought on which is right for you? Riders, especially in the US, want the one with the biggest power, the best specs, the most suspension travel and i think this mentality often leads to some riders getting the wrong machine. The first thing I ask a rider when they express interests in an off road machine is, what do you realistically believe you'll be doing with it? Are you really planning to ride thousands of miles, maybe even internationally. Or, is it much more likely you'll spend your time in dual track forrest roads, close to home. Recognizing what you'll really do is key to picking the right one for you.

I want a lightweight frame with geometry that's good on and off road, an engine with long service intervals, a large fuel tank and large rear rack, that's light enough for good off road performance but powerful and comfortable enough for road travel. There will obviously be some compromises between on and off road performance, but all of these goals can be mostly achieved by spending a bit more money for aluminum instead of steel to get the weight down, but no manufacturer wants to make a good on & off road bike despite a *LOT* more of us wanting a bike like this than the Dakar bikes or large heavy street oriented ADV bikes.

Op starts in the first minute of the video "I'm taking skill out of the equation for the comparison" also I'm pretty sure your 250 isn't a dualsport. I'll simplify what op said. : Enduro bikes - lightweight is more important than user quality of life. Eg: service intervals in hours not miles. Dual sport: adds extra weight but service intervals are longer. Adv bikes: ignores weight almost completely for better highway use. If you're going to trails only a handful of miles away or plan to trailer your bike - but needs it to be street legal. Enduro bikes are best. If you're looking to travel on bike more then a few dozen miles to get to your trails a dualsport may be better for you. If your looking to jump on the highway, where having a p-twin is more useful, an adv is the way to go.

Then take a now 'easy to ride' WR450F and enter the Roof of Africa. Since by your conjecture the WR450F riders have lesser 'extreme skills' and you after honing your 'extreme skills' on you 1250 GS has it in abundance, let me know how well it went during the Roof of Africa, the Baja or perhaps, just the first day of your Dakar challenge. Then do the converse, Invite any well-skilled MX, or enduro or desert rally rider (obviously by your measure not 'extremely' skilled). Put your chosen one on a sponsored 1250 GS, get on yours and select your adventure back country route. Agree to a race and let me know the outcome.

Thank you for the video, it's really well described! I am sometimes confused by english-speaking bikers (probably Americans) custom to name everything a "dual sport" which I find confusing, as in my mind, there is a world of difference between bikes like the EXC on one side, CRF250L on another and PR7 or Touareg on yet another. It may not seem so at first glance (as especially dual sports mimic the enduro looks) but try them either off- or on-road and you'll see. (Enduro bikes are often not smooth when you only ask for a little power. They will happily give you controllable burst or sustain s..tload of power but if you want them to be slow and smooth, they are not.)

And of course the KTM 500XCE always wins the dual sport category every year as the most high performance and best handling off road, it’s because it an emissions restricted ENDURO bike (the choice of weapon for desert racers).

We've come full circle with Dual Sports being an attempt to get dirt bikes back towards their Scrambler roots & ADV's being a modern version of the Scramblers of old. It's just a shame that modern scramblers are mostly just a styling exercise that would wither at anything more technical than a gravel road or fire trail, especially for those of us that aren't a fan of the dirt bike or ADV aesthetics. A Honda CL500 with some actual off road capability would be my ideal type of bike. It's just a pity that Honda probably won't make one.

Basically the dual sport is the middle of the road, out of the 3 different types of bikes here. I was brought up on Enduro riding. In fact I had my 1st bike for off roading when I was 12 years old. Which meant 5 years riding before I got to go on the roads. Which I found boring, which is easy to understand after all I'd know for 5 solid years was riding off road. I also hated the weight of the street legal bikes & still do. Maybe if I didn't have 5 intense years of riding off road to start. I'd more than likely have different opinions. I haven't got a bike at the minute. But I'm totally clueless what type of bike to buy. As I mentioned my biggest dislike of modern bikes is the Weight. I'm pretty sure a GS 1250 is as smooth as butter on long journey's. Most likely a great bike to own. Even if I had the money you wouldn't see me going anywhere near something like that. I'd prefer to take a much less comfortable ride on the road as long as it was great off road. Bring mainly a Yamaha owner & loving every bike I've had from Yamaha. I'd say my perfect bike would be a Tenere if it weighed half the weight 🙄 I know it's me not the bike that's how I haven't got a clue what to buy.

I see two problems here: 1) Definition of OFFROAD. For most Germans, offroad starts where hard pavement ends. However here in Scandinavia we got tens of thousands of kilometers of unpaved, public roads between settlements. Simply because those roads withstand the harsh nordic climate better than asfalt roads, are easier to maintain and cheaper to build. I would never call those offroad, because you could ride them basically on any bike, even a Harley. Then there are smaller logging roads of variable state of maintanance, but real terrain (off the road) is off limits to motorized vehicles anyway. 2) Marketing. Just now when watching this video, it was interupted by a BMW commercial, showing a rider on a F900GS in terrain where a light dual sport or even enduro is much more suitable. People buy then those 230, 250, 280 heavyweight bikes and get out on tracks like the TET, with the result that we basically every week see one or several posts in FB of riders who crash, get stuck, cant lift their bike... and cry out for help in remote places. For most of us average riders a lighter dual sport would be much better suited for trips like this, but far too many fall for this kind of marketing. I downgraded now, by the way, to an "adventurized" 701 Enduro (165kg fully fuelled) and did a trip from Stockholm to Albania and back on it - 7000km in four weeks. Worked very nicely, as long as you avoid the boring motorways.

In the US at least, "Dual Sport" motorcycles originated as, and in my mind still are, "Dual Purpose" bikes. Dual Purpose is what we called them when XLs, XT, DTs, TSs, etc were the dirt or trail bikes with lights and plates from the factory. When Suzuki released their DR(S) series, they launched a big marketing campaign, with invitations to anyone to join their local dealer hosted "Dual Sport" rides. Of course this term was used in the DR product literature as well. I never understood why the motorcycle media transitioned terms, but here we are. I will always call them DP bikes myself.

Enduro- trailer it to the trails, own everyone there. Dual Sport - ride it short distances to the trails, middle of the pack. Adventure - ride it half way across the world. Take it easy. Look cool @ starbucks

Which bike has a ash tray and a cigarette lighter and can drive me home after a late night of drinking moon shine and riding gravel roads and a few mishaps in or thru a ditch or 5 sometimes more but any way that KMT 454 sounds good with all those gadgets and can you get it in camouflage in case the forest ranger gets after me that orange just not going to cut it .

Is the new Himalayan 450 a dual sport or an ADV bike ?, the DRZ 400 is now considered an enduro bike ( in Australia ) as it has NO rear pegs now and under 149kg - that’s considered a Enduro bike in Australia. I know you will not reply as you never 👎 do .( when asked the hard questions)not just from beginners. I do like 👍 your channel mate but you never answer the hard questions.

@kylenewman7101 7 ай бұрын
Simple answer - the Himalayan 450 is definitely an ADV based on it's road bias and just shy of 200kg wet weight. DRZ 400 is no question a dual sport as it doesn't have high end components and lightweight construction needed to fit into the performance category of an enduro.

@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449 If I have missed your comments mate its not on purpose. A lot of the time, all I have time for is a quick browse and hitting the like button. I used to try and answer almost all my comments but with a busy life and many questions it often gets away from me. Its all subjective as I stated in my video so I can only give my opinion. Himalayan (both) are adventure bikes in my book, bare bones but adventure bikes. DRZE certainly was an enduro when it was released 24 years ago. Legally it has had to remove the pegs to duck the ABS laws. Time has passed by and it has ended up a Dual Sport IMO with the specs it has. The 690 and the MV Agusta 9.5 both have enduro in their names but it does not make either of them an enduro IMO, likewise the 400E. Could be a fun video to try and categorise all the fence sitting bikes that sit between categories. As for hard questions, often its just a matter of so many people asking similar questions and usually opt to answer it generally in a video. As answering a technical question requires nuance that is lost through typing. Or I plain just forget, which I am sure is frustrating from your end. If its a super hard question (if I remember and have time) I will just point out its over my head. I am no expert and have always maintained I'm just a passionate everyday enthusiast. I had a quick look back through my history and could not find any difficult questions from you? perhaps I missed it. Reply with them here and I will do my best mate👍

Some of the people in SE Asia modified the Dual Sports in a wrong way. The CRF-150L or KLX-150 for example, it's modified into a Street Bike (like the biggest Downgrade Modification with the CSGO Skins) rather than a Supermoto and use it like a Fairing Sport Bike, or a Drag Race. It's cursed, tbh. Other than that, it is considerably the safest, affordable, and reliable bike for the locals when the government hasn't fixed the Road yet

Enduro bikes were ridden 40 years before motocross was invented. In the U.S., most enduro bikes cannot be ridden on the street. What it breaks down to, realistically is this. Enduro bikes are for competition or skilled trail riding. Dual sport motorcycles can be ridden on or offroad, and Adventure bikes are touring bikes with a little more ground clearance and knobbie tires.

To add to the confusion, Yamaha used to call their old '70's-'80's super-popular DT-series bikes "Enduro" when clearly by today's definition they were Dualsports. I run into some old guys that still think a dualsport is an "enduro".

Typo: Wieght ? Honestly, I wish we could get an Enduro chassis, suspension and combine it with a more de-tuned, larger oil capacity and perhaps stretched gearing setup. Single or dual cylinder, don't really care, but low weight should be the aim. I drool over a Gasgas at 106kg, but I wish I could get a Honda trail engine instead. Honda CRF350FL with 6 speeds or an Austrian Enduro setup with say the newest Euro 5 399cc KTM street engine.

The only thing that I didn’t like about the ideo is that you kept referring to the US as America. There is no country named America. I keep asking people to proof me wrong. But, there is a continent (yes one and not two like the empire of the US wants it to be) officially named America. And it was named that back in 1507, hundreds of years before the US became a country. There are 34 countries in America and everyone from any of them are Americans, not just people from the US. In America, the movement to reclaim our rightful title of Americans for all people and America for our continent is small but growing and picking up speed. Regardless of what Unitedstatians (literal translation of the word Estadounidenses, which is the most common way of referring to people from the US in Spanish speaking countries) think, we see our continent as one, not two. Hence the futbol (soccer for Unitedstatians) American Cup. No, it does not refer to some futbol championship in the US, but rather a continent wide tournament. The division of our continent into two different continents took place just a handful of years after the US became a country. Only proof that the US has tried to control the continent right from the beginning. And to be honest, based on what I have seen from people from Europe, they know that America is not the name of a country. During the world Cup in Brazil, I saw an European fan (can't remember the country, I think it was a Swedish) when asked if he was enjoying the World Cup he stated, and I quote, "I’d always wanted to come to America... I am very happy to be here in America..." During the semi finals as Germans were leaving a stadium after winning that match, some Germans were asked who they thought was going to win the Cup. One German fan stated, "We are going to win it! We are going all the way. We are going to take the cup away from America and take back to Europe." I loved watching that! Obviously those people new that they were not in the US and that the US has never won the men’s World Cup. The last country to do so at that time was Brazil. Which is an American country. And notice they said America and not Americas, like Unitedstatians like to say. That is right baby, one continent, the way 43 countries in America sees it. Of course the other two countries being the US and itKe booty kissing neighbors, the Canadians.

"... and they can all go on road". NOT TRUE. True Enduro bikes are not street legal, although some can be made street legal in some states (countries). "Think of bikes like KTM's EXC range, and Beta's RR-S." INCORRECT. Those lines of bikes are Dual Sports. That is why you don't see them being raced, at least not by the top pros. In fact your video didn't even show Beta RR-S when you said that. It showed Beta RR series! For Enduro, think of bikes like the KTM XC, Beta RR, and Husqvarna TE or FE (but without an 'S' at the end). Generally speaking, Enduro bikes DO NOT HAVE LICENSE PLATES. When was the last time you saw Billy Bolt, Graham Jarvis, Johnny Walker or Manuel Lettenbichler race an FE 350S, or a Beta 350 RR-S, or a KTM 350 EXC-F? Never! Why? Because they aren't Enduro bikes. They are Dual Sports. Here is where you get confused: Dual Sport has two categories: high performance and Low Performance. You think high performance dual sports are enduro bikes, but they aren't. Regarding adventure bikes, you say almost all adventure bikes have multiple cylinders. I am going to submit that ALL Adventure bikes have multiple cylinders.
