Colorado's Most Deadly Pass - KTM Adventure Bike Fun

[@guyguthrie3236]

Most epic ride of my life, 1977 on Yamaha DT 175 two stroke from Crested Butte to Redstone thru Schofield Pass with my dad, i was 14 years old. Degree of difficulty was much higher back then. Plan to do it again with my 2 nephews who I race motocross with. I am now 59 and will attempt the ride on my new KTM 390 Adventure, can't wait!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Oh man, that sounds epic. I hope you can make it work 🤙

[@mechcavandy986]

I lived in Marble for a few years. I rode my 95 BMW R 1100 GS from Marble to Crested Butte via Schofield Pass a couple times. I was solo and 66 years old. I’m lucky I didn’t drop the bike on myself. Don’t go solo!

[@bingeciren]

I did this on a KLR 650 with all my camping gear, back in 1998. I don’t know what is more impressive: you on that heavy Adventure with street tires or your buddy with his girlfriend and big bags on the 390 doing that trail. I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you.

[@EverySingleSunday]

That cool. The 650s were such great bikes. I think Ryan and Lilly take the cake on this one. That could not have been easy

[@4tech69]

This kid and his girl on the 390. Legend's.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ryan Wells is a beast in a bike. He holds the #1 plate for off-road in AZ so the boy has some moves

[@evopwrmods]

@@EverySingleSunday I dont think once did I see the Double-up Driver put his foot down during any obstacle. You can easily tell when you see confidence in these big heavy bikes, plus this dude was double up. Most impressive....

[@cloud9forge]

Ive done this pass in my Toyota FJ cruiser! Very technical in the FJ! The following year I was hiking it with a buddy and his family on the day when the guy on the ktm went into the devils punch bowl! We arrived as they were pulling the bike from the bowl! Thank God for his divine intervention that day!! I think next time I do it will be on my Honda XR650L. Great video!! Ride on!!

[@EverySingleSunday]

That had to be absolutely wild to pull up on that accident. This is such a beautiful area and I need to get back and ride more of what it has to offer.

[@catdaddy3302]

I rode this in 2018 on my 95 BMW R1100 GS. I lived in Marble then and rode that area a lot. Yes, it was heavy on that 1100 GS. And I didn’t do it again. Great video guys!

[@michaelh6002]

The 390 is an awesome motorcycle that doesn’t get the respect it should because it cost half the price of the other adventure KTMs. I just completed the continental divide trail from Mexico to Canada and it was flawless, it was great off-road and it was great on the road.

[@EverySingleSunday]

That’s fantastic. What a cool rode

[@jonasbaine3538]

@@jonasbaine3538 Only if I jump it, you do realize this is a ADV bike not MotorCross

Awesome trip! What do you guys do in the winter? Is all off-road riding basically done until spring rolls round? Getting a 890 so wondering if I’m going to be spending 6 months a year looking at my bike in the garage ;)

[@EverySingleSunday]

Winter riding is usually the deserts of AZ and southern Utah There’s always somewhere to ride

[@BigRockMoto]

Some of that off camber rocky stuff with the cliff exposure - I was puckering up just watching it!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, just took it slow cause of tires… and the big bike

[@whiskeythrottleracing]

I got stuck in some monsoon conditions on my Beemer K1600 that I put Conti Road Attack 3 tires on about 1000 miles ago. I was very worried about wet conditions but the tire did great! Even the cars were pulling over due to heavy rain and flooding on the Interstate. So the Continentals earned my respect at least on the street. Cool ride! Thanks for posting!

[@EverySingleSunday]

That’s great to hear. We don’t get much rain in SoCal where I live

[@scottschafer9739]

The patented 300 kick bead breaker . Love it.

[@EverySingleSunday]

A tool of the trade

[@KestrelYI]

Great ride - sorry to hear about the flat! Had a similar experience (freak slice) in very rural western NC on a rather desolate forest service road. Random guy was rolling past on a Yamaha Zuma 125. Gave me a 30m ride to town where we purchased tire plugs and a bicycle pump, then gave me a lift back to my motorcycle. Serious generosity! Patched it up enough to limp it down to a wonderful valley where I sat next to a lake under the shade of a beautiful tree and watched a nice lazy fall afternoon pass while waiting for a friend to drive up with a trailer to fetch me.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Is that sounds like a mission. Glad you were able to get out of there and to a safe and nice spot.

[@RideWithTheWolf]

😢 😿 😭 😂

[@fallinginthed33p]

Bicycle pump and emergency tubes should be in the toolkit for these big ADVs.

[@wfodavid]

Buddy and I did this on the 790's last year. Gets really good after Punch Bowl. You did well young man! But you always do! 2 up on 390? If only could be young again!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, Ryan is a bit crazy on all of his bikes but the stuff he does with Lilly out back is even better :)

[@ColoradoDualSport]

That one was on my list to film, but didn't get the chance before we moved. You did an exceptional job for me, so thanks! Also, you are completely nuts doing that on those tires. I have no idea how you made it that far without getting a flat. Also, the two up crew get major props!

[@EverySingleSunday]

The tires are actually real good until it gets loose or you have to lean the bike. If I didn’t trust them, I wouldn’t have gone out that day. I was really surprised to rip the sidewall that bad. I must have just clipped that rock in the perfect way Thanks

[@HardBoiledGregADV]

Great video. Beautiful scenery. It answers some questions I have had about the capability of the KTM 390 Adventure as a light weight adventure bike.

It’s good for slow stuff but I wouldn’t recommend it for faster trails unless you’re a little guy

We tried to check all the boxes on this one 😂

[@eugenespreutels8305]

My favorite place in the world. Go there almost every year. We rode mountain bikes from Gothic over the pass down to the mill and back one year. It was a long day but I was in better shape then too! Lol. Your buddy and his gf were awesome doing that two up!

[@EverySingleSunday]

That had to make the lungs burn. Coming from sea level I really struggle getting around at elevation. I can’t imagine pedaling over this pass

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Yeah it is, I'm at around 900 feet so it was a big challenge. We use to ride all the time out there couple years ago but now at 54 I'm thinking my ktm 250 is a lot better choice, lol.

[@the_rocky_mountain_rider]

What a crazy, yet amazing ride. I've thought about doing that pass, but perhaps not by myself. Sweet video!

[@EverySingleSunday]

It’s a good time for sure. No problem doing it in your own if you are comfortable with this stuff. But it’s usually more fun with friends

[@Ruckus_Crawler]

Awesome video, what an incredible trail. It was cool to see your process on changing the tire as well. This is definitely being added to the list of trails I want to do!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Fun ride for sure. And glad you could learn a new trick :)

[@gpnmoab1]

Great video. My 390 Adventure just keeps impressing me on the rocky steep mining roads in Colorado. I've gone places I'd only take my dirt bike and survived without dropping the bike once. All you need is a good skid plate and the TKC70 rocks and you're good to go

[@EverySingleSunday]

Stoked to hear you’re enjoying it. Small adv bikes definitely get it done

[@mdragon99]

Great video, love the double up team on the 390! Awesome that you filmed some of the field repair.

[@EverySingleSunday]

I have some better footage from the repair. Might make a how to video For guys that don’t have a center stand someday

[@dipuBarua]

Just loved the video. Respect to the lady for being a pillion on such a tough ride!! Just wondering, it would be terribly risky to do these trails alone. I can't imagine how can somebody tackle a flat tyre issue on such hard trails alone!!! Loved it.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, Lilly is awesome for riding with him The tire would have been a bit more work but is definitely doable. Being proficient in changing tires is a huge help in times like these

So beautiful and amazing weather. Got to see tons of Aspens also in the area and makes for amazing videos and scenary. Crazy to see the area and ride where that dude went over the cliff and into the water falls below.

[@mikewhitcomb6558]

Just for future reference, I have seen guys put one or two $1 bills inside of sidewall gashes to hold the inner tube in

The 390 is find for 1-2nd gear trails but the suspension is not willing to handle anything fast at all The 790/890 checks all the boxes for what I want. It can do it all with the right rider The 790 feels closer to a 500 than it does to a AT. The AT is a big hike to take off-road

Looks like you figured out why those street tires were a bad idea. Had that happened at the peak of the pass, you'd be blocking a lot of traffic and making a huge snarl in those tight sections at a minimum. If not creating a dangerous situation for both yourself and the people who had to come rescue you. Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you should.

Yep, figured that one out for sure. The people I was with were the ones that convinced me to go with them that day. I’ll be back on a more aggressive tire next time

Sucks you got a flat but good job getting home.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, just glad we had everything

[@johnfryman4428]

Why would you take those tires on that ride -good times !

[@EverySingleSunday]

Because my buddies dragged me out. I had this bike to ride home to California after this event. We were up there on our 300s doing some real riding

[@kevinbroadway5398]

i dont understand why you did not put knobblies on it instead of worry about it the whole trip

[@EverySingleSunday]

I went to Colorado to ride dirt bikes, not adventure bikes A friend picked me up and I drove with them from CA to CO Plan was to have the 790 so I could ride it back to California since they we’re staying in Colorado for a month. These tires would have been great for riding home Had a couple down days so we decided to get out and see what we could do on these tires
