DIRTBIKE WITH 2x2 AWD (All Wheel Drive)

Christini’s AWD Dirtbike uses mechanical all drive system that delivers power from transmission to front wheel. In this video we are going to present how AWD System is working on Dirtbikes. It was designed special for hardenduro riders and races. This dirtbike 2x2 was tested on erzberg rodeo, last man standing and much more hard enduro races in world. Yamaha was also producing AWD Enduro bike on name Yamaha WR450 2-TRAC 2x2 in around 2004 year. I really like this system from Christini because its mountable on KTM EXC 2 Strokes, also it will work on GasGas 300 what is amazing you get 2 stroke with AWD 2x2.

No they don't that was a mis-type no way that has a rotary engine just listen to it.

[@ajaxvarble]

@@thedave7760 it has a rotary engine in it. That's the smallest engine you could still fit on top of all the electric components and not weigh a half ton. Rotary engines are great for a lot of power in a small package but boy are they expensive. husqvarna actually developed some great bikes with rotary engines, except they eventually started stuffing the biggest engine possible in dirt bike frames and riders flat out stopped using them due to being way overpowered.

[@voxpopuli905]

@@OrigionalDroog I bet I got an old Dirt Bike Magazine tucked away with an article all about it. This company has been around for a good long time, and their kit was sold exclusively on its own and then they offered s whole bike which was a rebranded and christini badged crf450 and they had a 2stroke model also. The motor supplier changed several times but they seem to maintain that Honda chassis from 2005 era. If my memory serves me right I believe Yamaha at one point supplied 4stroke motors at one point but still the Honda style frame. Idk this company has been through lots of changes but certainly isn’t new. I think they shd be adding this kit to the YZ250X model and call it a day. Then the magazines can shut up about the YZ250 being outdated. It’s not broke leave it alone

[@shaunpc2512]

Oh my goodness what a setup this is. I’ve always thought about the possibilities of building a awd motorcycle but the technology in Christini products is amazing. I’d absolutely love to get my hands on such a machine and really get a feel for how they handle.

[@iawsom]

I used to think the same when I first started riding in Dubai sand dunes and doing more technical stuff where an rwd would struggle and just get burried. In 2014 I imported a few Christini AWDs and started a dirtbike tours company called Motoventure. Pretty much everyone who rode these bikes loved how they worked, great technology, tough as nails and almost the same maintenance as any standard rwd bike. The additional weight of the awd system is just 7 kgs which like carry extra fuel in an extended gas tank although it doesn't splash around. Surprisingly a lot of hate and bashing is done by riders who have never rode or even seen these bikes. Christini has done an absolutely incredible job on these!
