Will Zack and Spurg conquer the highest road in the world?

Exactly. This video reminded of the old calm documentaries on dd1

[@a141tho2]

It was also my dream trip. Did this trail last year for the first time, the roads were better last year although we also tried few offroad routes. It is actually very difficult to maintain good roads here because every rainy season, river and landslides just wipe them all away but even after all that, this is one of the best thing I did in my life. This year we did sikkim, another great route in central Himalayas. Just as amazing and challenging.

[@Try2KeepUpK]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@naughtybikertv]

I agree and there are many great creators on KZbin, particularly in motovlogging. It is why I rarely watch regular TV of any sort. Plus it’s fun and satisfying to create. Even if you have a small channel and only reach a few thousand people, unlike these two who have a vast following.

[@UncleDon226]

I remember a friend and I were in Oregon and heading towards Reno. We got within 30 miles of Reno when a wildfire shut down Hwy 395. No biggie, we will make a detour to I80, or so we thought. The fire spread and shut down all routes to interstate 80. We initially tried to brave the off road path, but it was talcum powder, and neither my sportbike, nor his cruiser were gonna make it that way. We ended up having to turn around and go BACK up 395, cross into Nevada in the northern border, then drop back down on a 400 mile detour. Buddy dumped the bike on a blind corner in the middle of the night (he and the bike were both ok), not a single car the whole way, but we finally pulled into Reno in the early morning after about 17hrs of riding. While I wasnt happy at the time, it made some of my best motorcycling memories, and I wouldnt change it for the world.

[@Ka84run]

This trip, with all the money and expertise that went into it, makes me appreciate, even more, what Noraly Schoenmaker (aka, Itchy Boots) accomplishes, traveling alone with no "sag wagon" and film crew to assist. I like the looks and sound of these new, single-cylinder Triumph 400s.

I just wanna say Ewan and Charlie with the long way adventures changed the world and are legands. Zach and Ari are on that same level. The work they have done over their career have cemented them as legands with people like Ted Simon, Ewan, Charlie and Itchy Boots.

[@jacob14163]

Surg too*

[@RamblinRaconteur]

Ewan and Charlie are chumps compared to Austin and Gerald Vince and nobody ever mentions them for being the godfathers of adventure motorcycling that they truly are.

[@jacob14163]

@@RamblinRaconteur enlighten me then, I must know who they are.

I'm a Triumph fanboy, but even I can't help but feel like touring through India NOT on a Royal Enfield is slightly criminal.

[@codyadkins5197]

It don't seem right to me to see them in India without a RE. Especially as close to the new 450 Himalayan as this was made. Love the videos but that land is the Lan of RE.

[@shashimenon1000]

This is one massive advert for Triumph 400 cc platform....both! Well done. Great documentary.

[@midhungopan9270]

Following you guys for years.....this is so far the best i ever seen❤❤....kudos to revzilla crew and the riders

[@Amuzic]

Indian here. When you guys were talking about covering 300 miles in 3 hours..I was like what the hell are you talking about? Covering 300 miles during the monsoon through Indian Urban and Mountainous roads? These guys are in for a shocker. I remember in my Kathmandu solo trip, I underestimated the last leg of 60kms on himalayan road in nighttime during monsoon, and it took me 4 hours of grueling to cover that distance, whereas I had covered previous 440 kms in 10 hours including frequent breaks and stops.

[@paulvanhout9695]

Incredible story and production. The effort, talent and quality that Revzilla invests in these films is truly impressive and quite the commitment to the community.

[@UnicornRiderNaresh]

Most wonderful trip video. Umlingla is always in my dreams. Yearning to do second time. I did it solo in snow in September and shot entire trip myself. At age 58. You can search my name here. Looking forward to one more time to Umlingla. Extremely good videography and editing. ❤

[@GurukiranMN]

AMAZING🔥 I've seen many people uploading ten's of videos and making people wait... But you guys covered entire trip in one SINGLE Piece and the editing feels feels like am in the actual position of yours and those bikes were my favourite ones, atlast salute to cameraman for taking such a beautiful shots by stopping in every single roads .... Man it takes a whole lot of time..❤ .. thank you for such a good video 😃

[@anichya]

No slippers on the bed(Nyoma), its India guys! Loved the video and glad that you guys managed riding without any mishaps on the "right" side of the road. Kudos

[@topgearnutter]

Firstly (as no crashes were discussed), I am glad the riders and the crew were safe. Secondly, amazing job from the entire team on this project! I genuinely had goosebumps multiple times with the way the scenery was shot, and the accompanying music and commentary. Thanks for visiting India! And hope you would like to return and make a longer trip around the Himalayas someday :)

[@davidcook4707]

Nicely done guys, brought back great memories of bicycling and motorcycling those roads and passes in 2013. I recommend the motorcycling...

[@Nawab4286]

Blown away! What an amazing video. The 2 riders hats off to you guys, I wish I was part of this crazy trip. The entire team, specially the camera men what a fantastic work. Bravo!! ❤ Welcome to India.

Top marks for everyone involved. Great idea. Wonderful execution. Brilliant cinematography. Everything was beautiful in 4K. That image at 40:50 should hang in Zack and Spurg's homes for years to come.

I was there at umlingla on 16th sep 2023 , but we took the route through Photila top. it was unbelievable. I was on my 390 adventure and the bike did great and it was the most memorable trip of my life yet ! kudos to you guys !

[@abhijitmaisuria5703]

Roads are that bad or they took the rough ones?

Is your 390 still alive or does it have another week or two of life left?

Brilliant! Reminded me of my touring days! Can’t wait for my Speed 400 to arrive. Ordered it when they were first announced. A sensible bike for a change!

[@sagarm4659]

Beautifully put together, glad you guys enjoyed Indian Motorable roads✌

[@Ramonatho]

Spurge really flexed his skills here, both on the road and as a presenter. I love the duo of Zach and Ari but Spurge is more than welcome to be a part of CTXP again to me.

There is a saying, "There are many mountains and then there is the Himalayas". Great work and I hope India treated you well.

[@ChrisBOMtoATL]

It's lovely to see you guys in India enjoying the roads every rider deserves or atleast must ride once in their lifetime to appreciate the infrastructure they have wherever they are. And I say this while I just rode to work here in Atlanta, Georgia 😅. Enjoy and lovely seeing you guys in my home country ❤

[@dragoclarke9497]

Absolutely brilliant. Amazing country. Made my day watching this on a cold (zero centigrade) day in northen England. I bet Ari was kicking himself missing out on this adventure. And those two Triumphs have proven that a fully loaded GS Adventure is really not necessary for a true adventure. Many thhanks.
