SLUMIT Cub 2 : The Perfect Tent For Motorcycle Camping

[@R08Tam]

Thanks for showing us the breakdown of the tent. I've watched other videos which show how to put it up but yours is the only one to show it being taken down.

[@Kojak-zh7qo]

Been all over Europe in this tent and loved it

[@Motourev]

Brilliant kit

[@PokerMuppet]

I really liked the idea of the Slumit Cub II, especially how quick and easy it is to take down and pack. However, I have had a few issues with it. First, I found that when sleeping on a cot bed, both my feet and head are in contact with the inner tent. I also found the bug mesh to be too large and midges can easily climb through. Not great in Wales but a nightmare in Scotland! I also found that after just a few uses, the plastic locking mechanism at the top of the tent started bending and twisting out of shape and I have had to stop using the tent out of fear it is going to snap or fail and leave me tentless on an adventure.

I love the slumit tents,I've got the gobi 3,so easy to put up and take down,my gobi survived a very wet and windy snowdonia a couple of years ago,it stayed dry and stood up well to the high winds.

[@Motourev]

Cracking bit of kit Mr B

[@fredeaton5543]

I’ve had the gobi 3man for quite a few years now. Excellent tent, easy set up and put away. No problems with it at all.

[@angof]

Great video, Ive had the Cub 1 for about 10 years and its still going strong.

[@Ronald7077]

Needed that. Missed the weight. but overall its helping me make up my mind. Thankd for a very clear and exact info clip. Just wondering how much room is needed for guy ropes. - is there enough pegs for the guys as well?

[@Motourev]

Yes there enough, I also had the extra guys and they come with pegs too.

[@c00ldfeet84]

Looks very good and easy to put up after a long day in the saddle. 👍

[@David_Gardener]

Brilliant tent, perfect for motorcycle camping. Really useful video for those that are thinking of purchasing one. Thanks Craig👍 Also there is a very useful cable entry/exit zip in the inner tent. 🤘

[@jameswilkinson5803]

Best review I’ve seen of this tent, well done. And love the bike!

[@Motourev]

Thanks, I’ve now got 2 Slumit tents, I will not buy another brand after using these.

[@theranjhas6235]

*thank you for such a great video, love the tent*

[@mikehurley5052]

I bought one in 2019, awesome tent for the bike.

[@allanhughes7859]

Best vid on this tent to date now I have made my mind up thank you so so much fella !!!

[@royduncanson656]

i have the same tent for biking and its an excellent piece of kit...british company too

[@stefanm67]

That was such a good video. Thank you. It told me everything I needed to know including how to take it down. Nicely presented too. 👍 ❤

Your welcome 👍🏻

[@victorway5503]

Very good in-depth review, ideal for anyone unsure what to get 👍

[@Taffontour1200]

Got the gobi 3 and that’s exactly the way I do it great tent 🏍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💥

[@Motourev]

Yeah might get that one for that little extra room

[@silversiren7046]

Loved this tent. I try to buy British brands where possible and this will make a perfect xmas present for my brother to take on his (new to him) motorbike with his friends on their camping trips or, if he fancies, solo trips. Very informative video, thanks!

[@Motourev]

They are amazing I now got the 4 berth too. It’s the only brand I will use

[@keithtrueman7686]

Australia: A good review, thank you, and it looks like a great tent. Good to see you out on the VFR again. Cheers!

[@Motourev]

Cheers mate, how’s the sun over there, think it’s fell out the sky here

[@dalewintle9969]

That's was a great review Craig looks a great bit of kit , awesome editing as always thanks for sharing bud 👍🏻

[@zumerzetbiker2442]

Good review Craig had the Slumit cub 2 at Elan have now upgraded to the gobi 3 the 2 is a excellent tent for biker camping because of it's size and how easy it is to put up and down

[@Motourev]

Yes I’m looking at the Gobi too

[@dennismurphy3301]

@@Motourev Another thumbs up for the gobi3,bit bigger pack+weight size than the cub but fits nicely on the back seat of my Vstrom.Just need the extra space for me old bones!.Good vid.

[@Motourev]

@@dennismurphy3301 yes I think I might go for the Gobi for when I do longer camping trips

[@tojj29]

Got the very same tent. Great bit of kit

[@scottc3]

I love these tents. Have the Gobi 3 and found it excellent. Obviously they are quite large when packed, but like you I just secure it over the pillion seat with a pair of rok straps.

[@Motourev]

I’m happy with a little bit larger packed size if it gives me minimal setup time 👍🏻

[@guystevens162]

Great video. And thats a easy setup tent too thanks :)

[@UncleLongbeard]

pretty smart little tent.

[@lincolnshirebiker1158]

Maybe i should upgrade to this for next years adventures 🤔 . Great vid bud👍

[@Motourev]

So much easier and more room for your head when it’s on a slope 😂

[@lincolnshirebiker1158]

@@Motourev haha 😄😆😂 good one 👍

[@dickyyrrep1383]

Thanks for a nice review, I love the original Khyam igloo and this is as close as I can find, I’m buying one.

[@Motourev]

I’ve just got the Slumit Grizzly 4 berth and will be reviewing it Monday. A lot bigger but not much bigger packed down. The Cub 2 is perfect for a 1 night even 2 night for 1 person as long as you leave luggage on bike. For a good weeks camping I’m gonna try the Grizzly 4 for that extra room. Look out for the video. If you do buy one contact them and say you are buying because of this video, they might offer you some discount. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@MultiBikerboy1]

Great review…many thanks for this😁👍🏻

[@Motourev]

Honestly they are amazing tents. It’s the only brand I use now, I did a review on the Grizzly 4 birth and that tents even better

[@davidreed6817]

Craig, are Gobi tents the same as Khaym? as they have (had) the same locking exoskeleton frame outside too, nicely done

[@Motourev]

I don’t believe there is any connection between the brands but think the frames are very similar.

[@RidingCorners]

That's pretty cool. I have a Coleman 3 person tent which isn't too bad to put up but this is way faster. Thanks for the video :D

[@Motourev]

A few in our group have the Coleman but they suffer from condensation due to being a single layered skin.

[@RidingCorners]

@@Motourev yes they do I’m afraid. When I need a new one I’ll keep an eye out for this for sure. It’s just a bit too long to fit on my pannier. ;)

[@simonmills9427]

great vid and production just subbed

[@Motourev]

Cheers buddy ❤️👍🏻

[@RhegedRideOuts]

Hi Craig hope you’re well. Are any of you guys going to Griff n Jones New Broom campaign weekend next August ??????

[@Motourev]

No mate will be on holiday 😭

[@Dunkelzeitgeist]

Lovely stuff! Might have to get this or Something similar!

[@tomhamilton7526]

Hi m8, I recently purchased a slumit cub and your video was a great help in my decision to do so. 2 questions if you could help would be much appreciated. 1. Did you purchase the footprint for this? 2. What tarp poles are you using in this video. Thanks.

[@Motourev]

I did not get the foot print and poles are the canopy poles from Slumit www.slumit.co.uk/product/slumit-canopy-pole-set/

[@grossi46]

Great review as always 👏 👍

Cracking review Mav,,;-) Ride Safe Mr B \m/

[@bruceg8375]

do you think this would sit on top of a top box.

[@Motourev]

Yes, I have a frame ontop of my topbox and it does fit well with good secure straps

[@bluedolphin5792]

Looks great but I live in Texas. Got to have two doors for a breeze.

[@Motourev]

Wish we had warm weather here

[@garydickinson1288]

Great review

[@LRL1958]

Does the top of the tent leak at all during rain ?

[@Motourev]

No not at all, got the 2 man and 4 man version and neither have leaked. I will never use another branded tent from now on they are just superb.

[@LRL1958]

Great, thanks for your reply.

[@LRL1958]

I live in the states, does the Slumit website ship over here?

[@rockgsxr]

It's okay to put up but a real pita to put away, it will fight to go back in the bag leaving you drenched in sweat. Then there's the bulk , classed as a motorcycling tent this was the biggest thing on my bike and always in the way. If i'm going to carry this i may go for the lone rider garage tent instead , or for short trips i'm going back to a regular small pole tent that packs away neat and small ,plus a tarp between bike and tent for a coffee area

[@Motourev]

Understand what your saying, I find it really easy to pack away 👍🏻

[@MrTone41]

Great review thanks

[@Weemanfaescotland]

I'm going to get one, slumit cub 2, I just got a Jacko 2 last year, it's a good tent, But I like that folding mission that one, and size of the bag come with it for the back of my motorbike /scooter Here you got website page 😊 Kind regards James fae (from) Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 part of the UK 🇬🇧 🙂 👍

@@Motourev They are good tents ...but fibre glass poles are the weak point and snap when the going gets tough.
