KTM 790R & 690 Enduro ADV Ride Party Continues - Part 2

[@NomadSweden]

Awesome trip, and how important it is to stop and chat with the land owners etc so they get a positive experience from us. Great job.

[@Braapncamp]

The landowner was cool, when he was ready with his birch that he winched out and chain sawed to logs, he came over to us and had a chat while having coffee. I agree that this is important. 👍

[@supersookify]

What a blast to be on a trip with a group like that, thanks for sharing! Is it me or does it really show how much easier it is for the guy on the 690 on the rougher terrain?

[@Braapncamp]

He's a good rider at first, but ofc the 690 is easier to handle. 790 does good though when handle it more aggressive. Thanks for Your comment!

[@crispyadv1830]

Very nice. Beautiful area to ride, loved the hill climbs towards the end. Stay well!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks! A fun weekend, we have close to 3000Km of gravel and forest trails scouted only in this area. Really nice and could be sorted out as green to black trails, which is nice if we need to separate riding teams. It was a while ago i took a turn in this direction from home. No black trails this time though, thought we should do some of them. Cheers and take care!

[@michaelsupple6081]

Really enjoyed your video! I just bought a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R. Very excited about this bike. Thanks for posting.

[@Braapncamp]

You will love that 690! It is a lot of bang in this package. Refined thru years and now even electronivmc goodies. You will love the quick shifter and probably the traction control as well. I have a series of videos from 2016 where I took my 690 to Norway. Loved that trip and the bike even did well as tourer.

[@Angry-Lynx]

One of the best bikes a man can get ; Basically a little heavy enduro im woods,.but still is not afraid of doing longer trips and road riding ;

[@Angry-Lynx]

And while personally i prefer big adventure bikes for comfort, sound, feeling etc, you cant deny that 690 will always be so much better in rough stuff

[@MrEtnorb]

Passing that tractor it could get quite tricky and you could easily overbalance and it would be very difficult to pick up a 200kg bike by yourself. Smart move to have someone there to assist and it reinforces the point that when solo riding you need to be extra careful. What a lovely forest trail.

[@Braapncamp]

Yes it was steeper and more difficult terrain than video shows beside the tractor. Good thing is that the tractor had winch if needed. I still have gone round the tractor if riding alone. 😁👍 But it is un nessecary to take risks when we are a team.

[@Braapncamp]

That farmer who was logging was really cool, when he was ready he joined us at the coffee stop and had a chat. He was also curious how we could find these forest roads (his property), but was fine with it. His forester geer was Stihl, a little wierd in Husqvarna land ;P

[@MrEtnorb]

Mattias Eriksson here in Australia it is annoying that when following an established dirt road or track ie marked on all mapping programs, you sometimes come across a sign indicating that it is private property. I think that the property owners are sick of riders using these tracks and illegally place these signs. My policy is not to disregard these signs as it gives riders a bad reputation.

[@Braapncamp]

We could easily see if the gravel road is private financed or not, by the destination signs coloration. On private financed roads the landowner have the right to prohibit motorized trafic, but then they must have a sign. It's a proper advise to obey those signs, for all of us sake. Those exist but are rare over here. But to ride irresponsible on private open roads quickly change the opportunity for the advriding community. I have see that TET (Tran European Trail) tracks are overloaded with adv bikes in the summer. It's a great idea but roads that where open get bars and signs. Better idea is to alternate the route often, to not overload it.

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Thank you for sharing the adventure. 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for watching Joones!

[@chrisbettles7597]

Love the look of the bush there, so different from Australia.

[@Braapncamp]

That's the cool thing with these videos, it makes me se Your terrain and landscapes as well. Would love to explore the Australian bush, to us it's exotic.

[@kimkelberg]

Nice video , great Tracks not all for a newbie ! But offroad Tracks and hard adv riders in Ullared shopping center , hadden i not expected to see 😉

[@Braapncamp]

kim kelberg hahaa, great place for a lunch!

[@Luckykoi1290]

Thanks for a good ride along - how are you motoz tyres I believe off road they will be fine but slightly worried about wet tar. Karoo’s gave me a small heart attack on one ride. Running the Pirelli tyres on my 790 r and they do well all round. Just need a bit more off road for a trip to Lesotho in a few weeks. Cheers

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks! The RallZ specifically do very well on all surfaces. Even wet tar.

[@matthewweste1233]

looks like you guys had some fun. Cant wait to get back on the bike.

[@Braapncamp]

I saw Chris Birch practise balance on his 790R in his yarden 👍🏻, looked good. Hope You can ride within reasonable time. Not sure for how long we van ride. Government pretty much told us to stay in our regions from now and not travel to relatives at easter and so.

[@matthewweste1233]

Mattias Eriksson looks like 3-6 months for us. What happened to your right mirror btw? 😆

[@Braapncamp]

😮😮 haha, that mirror broke when i hit a road marker for the snowplough in a curve... 👀🥊

[@matthewweste1233]

Mattias Eriksson stay safe man and keep the videos coming 😉🙌

[@shawngreenwood7825]

Thank you for sharing this story. Sweden bush is so much like Northern Ontario Canada. Only we still have 3 feet of snow. Unless this was last fall. We are not allowed to ride do to covid-19.

[@Braapncamp]

Hi Shawn, this was from last weekend. Since then we have got recommendations to not travel to other regions, or visiting elders, not to gather in large groups etc. But, for sports the recommendation loosened up to allow outdor training of like soccer/football etc. Hope You get on the bike and stay safe!

[@jonasamna]

Thanks to you aswell for sharing this lovely vlogs. One thing a noticed was that the tires doesent seem optimal for offroad use when it gets very slippery but perhaps its not intended for that though it´s more like an allroad tire for both gravel and tarmac.... Keep it on and drive safe...

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks! No, all of us except one had the crappy Karoo's. Those where ok on this ride but most change them quick. I got my Motoz Rallz today 😁💪🏻.

[@progammler]

I switched to Michelin Anakee Wild and they are a lot more stable in muddy conditions. Karoo are great on hard packed stuff but honestly the Anakee wilds are not much worse on tarmac and a lot better off-road. Still not perfect, in deep mud they clog up quickly if you don't keep the speed up. Luckily the 790 handles so well and stays straight and upright so you can 'swim' it through deep puddles. The karoo front slipped to the sides a lot more and I never felt like I had it completely under control.

[@stevecade857]

@@progammler Looking at the Dunlop Trailmax Mission as my next 50/50 tyre once the Karoo 3 have worn down more. Heard some good things.

[@chadbjerken7907]

Looks like fun boys! Thanks for sharing. Skol

[@Braapncamp]

This was truly fun, thanks for commenting and happy trails! Hope You have had some awesome advrides so far this season.

[@michaelfraley4901]

Hello Mattias, Looks much like the fire roads in my area around Nevada City. Did you noticed much of a power advantage with the 790s with the Akrapovic exhaust vs your stock one? Stay out of those ditches!

[@Braapncamp]

Nevada would be a cool ride! No there is no difference in power at all. Not sure what the Acra really do for the 790 at all. On my 690 it did a good weight loss though.

[@civitec]

Hi Matt. Could you make a video where you describe what are the basic things that you carry in your backpack on a long trip and on a short trip?

[@Braapncamp]

Thats a good suggestion buddy! I will keep that in mind for the comming week.

[@civitec]

Mattias Eriksson I will be super attentive; I love your videos. regards

[@Braapncamp]

Do you mean the backpack on my back och my pacing on the bike?

[@Virtuos]

Magic as always Matte. But heavy bikes and Karoo... You must really like a good challenge :D. Can't wait to hear what you think of the RallZ!

[@Braapncamp]

Will be so nice to change. I'm a cheap bastard and tend to run on stock tires until i get what i want, have been waiting for the RallZ since year shift. I couldn't convince myself to change to something "some what" better until i got these Rallz. One Guy in the team was riding in Deserts with 130 width, the 750km's chew rubber from stock 19mm thread depth down to 9mm. This 790 is a true rubber chew'er... My Karoo' rear is totally done and actually was before the trip. One of the guys just got the bike before the trip, but he has narrow rims in the garage and will run enduro tires with mousse, that will be interesting!

[@Virtuos]

@@Braapncamp Yes, I believe that the 790 is a bit too heavy for the Deserts and that the RallZ will be a better choice. Now go fit them and then go ripping :) And don't forget to record it! :P

[@Braapncamp]

You bet!

[@Elskins]

Nice places and scenery. 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Alot of places during this approx 18 hours ride was awsome. The few minutesnof footage does not really mekes it justice as usual, we had really fun.

[@toddbenfield6546]

What exhaust did the 690 guy have? Sounded nice👍love this type of riding✌️

[@Braapncamp]

Wings probably without db-killer. A I had the akra on my former 690, really nice 👍👌

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks!

[@echale1611]

What make is your Handlebar bag?

[@Braapncamp]

Hi, it is a Wunderlich. Made for the mighty GS but fits all bikes. I made a review of it in a video earlier. Works great since I don't need a tank bag.

[@Adv_Charlie]

trails look great. I have one little question why is your high beam on the whole time?

[@Braapncamp]

We agreed on that due to visibility to the rider confront of You. Easier to keep an eye on each other. It was very dusty on the gravel roads this day, not seen in the video since that's no fun shots. We use to do this in group arrangements.

[@Adv_Charlie]

Mattias Eriksson and the main head light is not bright enough? I would have thought high beam would be too bright

[@Braapncamp]

Thats correct, you would think so with the LED lights but high beam makes huge difference.

[@miro333youtification]

how about fuel consumption difference? is 790 more thirsty bike?

[@Braapncamp]

Yes it is! But you can run it on 4 litres per 100Km if you are very gently.

[@tshansen]

10:57 det her er bra som faen vet jag :-P Hahaha... this is what it is all about. Really nice rideout with good friends. I really envy your huge amount of gravel tracks and roads in Sweden :-) This was really good mix of footage. Perfect with my morning coffe. Looked a little cold in the beginning there :-P

[@Braapncamp]

Exactly this is as fun as it is relaxing to just bail out alone and camp. majority of the team was to comfy to camp... Only me and Pär and Beshar wanted that. Next trip i will camp for sure. Thats more social distancing ;P. I think we have like 3000Km's scouted trails in Småland during the years. I think it was like -4C in the morning but it warmed up fast. AMOK Cup right?!

[@Janduin45]

Damnit, I had almost decided 100% that I was going to get the 1290SAR, then I started watching videos of the 790AdvR. Now I'm leaning towards the 790 being a better match for me. I mostly do the kind of gravel roads or forest path driving you often show in your videos, with the occasional touring trip. My last bike was a BMW F650 Dakar, and I really liked the agility and low center of gravity that bike had, a lot like the 790. I realize the 790 has more than enough power for the kind of routes I take, but the 160hp of the 1290 is quite tempting. Have you tried the 1290 on forest paths and more technical stuff than gravel roads?

[@Braapncamp]

😂😂🔥 Hi, no I have never tested the 1290. For my riding the 1290 is over kill. But I can imagine that it is plenty fun on most roads.

[@Braapncamp]

[@civitec]

Mattias which do you think is the most balanced 690 or 790?

[@Braapncamp]

790R for a bike to do both local fun and longer adventures. But with that said, I was very happy with the 690 as an all-rounder too.

[@Ultimatefitness360]

Which one is better for offroad ??

[@Braapncamp]

The 690 weigh less, have narrow rims for alot more offroad tyre options. Still alot of power. But with that said, for this type of riding it does not matter if You go with 690 or 790.

[@dawidnitecki9143]

Hi, lots of 790r's - hows the reliability with them? Any issues?I'm Still in the point of choosing t700 vs 790r.

[@Braapncamp]

No issues other than i lost a bolt to the gear linkage. Annoying, it was tight before the ride. I took a bolt from another place and was fine. Locktited some when I got home. Been riding the bike for a year with no issues.

[@saladdays180s9]

This video should be rated: R .....Adventure R

[@Braapncamp]

Or C for coffe break 😂

[@saladdays180s9]

😜 I once heard somebody comment that on group rides, there is always a time where inexplicably all the riders get the same memo and start boogeying real hard, and then just as suddenly it stops, so things gets a little “racy”. You might want to give those moments an “R” rating as well. Of course you may want to warn people about coffee breaks just in case the kids are watching. So let’s see, if a video contains the obligatory quick shot of a rider facing away on the side of the trail to take a take a pee, of course a “P” rating might be warranted. 🤦‍♂️. I need to stop, please cut me off.

[@Braapncamp]

@@saladdays180s9 haha, I think we could rate this R C & P 😂👌

[@davindersangha3761]

Nice a little disappointed no one hopped the log. Maybe a little more enduro practice and than you boys will pop it over the logs. Did you say “my little coffee”, right before drinking your coffe?

[@Braapncamp]

All of us except one could easily have popped it over the log, but when first guy park the bike just after it, it stacked up bikes and got risky 😂. I have jumped over that type of logs before with both 690 and 790. Anyone can do it. The guy before me need to practice some more. However its fun to practice at those logs. If i find one closer to home i will see what we can do. Cheers my friend!

[@davindersangha3761]

Mattias Eriksson yes your skills in other video didn’t seem to match that log hop failure in my opinion. Keep safe!

[@progammler]

I thought about it so many times and I always end up asking myself "am I alone and how far am I from home". sure logs have some give and you have to hit them quite hard to break something but the stock engine guard on the 790 is very thin and there is no frame around it for protection, the engine is part of the frame and that makes it so much more vulnerable...

Took a ride thru Europe with missus, after that it was easy to convince her to get a new more comfortable bike.
