Taking The Rokon Up Snow Trails With Studs!

[@gabeusaf5483]

This video just cost me$10k... LOL excellent video.

[@ThrottleWorks]

Worth it! Lol thank you! 🤘

[@hansenhansen8349]

Chains would make better sense. What does everyone think?

[@ThrottleWorks]

Perhaps, but a few screws were cheaper 🤣

[@muskyman1018]

I’m not an ice racer, so on my tractor lug Rokon tires I put 1/2” sheet metal screws screws with 1/4” bit heads, 3 to a tractor bar, keeps me upright on ice, don’t have to swap the tires in the spring. I’m sure they could be sketchy on asphalt, but that’s not what a Rokon is about anyways.

I've got a Trail Blazer and it will walk right over a picknick table or climp up a wall but I don't like riding in the winter. I've got snow chains for mine and they work just like they do for trucks but the bike weighs twice as much as me. lol

[@peteraltman6374]

Great video i really enjoyed can't wait to see more of your videos 👍

[@Clintimtired]

Was that a winch I saw in the front of that if so did you get that from the manufacturer or or aftermarket I'm looking to get one of these rigs

[@natenimon827]

Holy screws! I'm just going to use kold-kutters for on the ice

[@jhilberry07]

This is your first video I seen and I just became your 420th sub. Love the video keep up the good work! Look forward to seeing more videos on the rokon

[@ThrottleWorks]

Thanks! 🤘 we are getting closer and closer to the giveaway and don't worry I have lots in store of this summer for the rokon!

Hay that's a kick ass bike I always wanted to try 1 out here in Illinois all 4 season.

[@jeffbaker9847]

I wanna dwell for a moment on the stud addition here. Are those drywall screws, pushed thru from the inside of the tire? Maybe I missed a vid on how that was done. Not trying to be critical here, just asking, but are they maybe a bit too close together, causing the snow to be able to pack em up too much? I'm no expert. I like the idea of this, no doubt. They look super aggressive, sticking out 1.5 inches or so? Did any bend or break when you hit logs, ice, or other hard stuff? maybe that's the tradeoff of number of studs per area of tire -- if you have too few, they'll break off; too many, and they pack up? As a winter (pedal) biker myself, I always figured that studs were more for ice and aggressive tread for the snow. Would tire chains be better? I'd like to test out some of these ideas myself. Wondering your thoughts on it. Nice video. So hard to get perspective on the steepness of hills via camera, just to see what you're facing.

[@christopherrichardson6092]

Agreed Too many to close together I think the factory tire would’ve worked ok in sticky snow Get on pegs and give it!!! Keep your balance keep your speed up and she’ll go!!

[@guymiller6891]

I think James Bradley would be better and also useful in mud and other situations to those studs don't look practical to me I have changed for all my vehicles including the rokon .they act like paddles and you can drive slowly in dry patches or hardback even rocks

[@royallenblessing7998]

Be a nice addition to your videos if you showed a topo map of the trails you ride. Be interesting to see the distance and elevation gains. Just a thought. I purchased a '99 Ranger. Haven't tried it yet.

[@ThrottleWorks]

That's a great idea! I typically try to get some aerial shots to give some perspective but the dense trees kind of limit me lol

Subscribed for cool rokon videos

[@BlueOx2277]

Well damn- I used to think there wasn’t anywhere a Rokon couldn’t go- and that a studded Rokon would be unfuckingstoppable….

[@idahopotato5837]

I have seen front and rear chains on them. Is that the Pend Oreille?

[@ThrottleWorks]

Yes it is 🤘

[@vooduuchild3601]

I'm wondering how many of those screws broke off while driving and will now flatten tires or end up going through someone's shoe or pet's foot. Those look like straight up drywall screws which are notorious for snapping. Will definitely sub for more Rokon content though. I would definitely try chains if there is no issues with clearance. I can't wait to pick my Rokon up

[@ThrottleWorks]

Honestly, because there were so many screws in the tires it must have distributed the weight evenly, I checked them over and there wasn't a single screw broken 🤘 and thank you for the sub 🤘

[@vooduuchild3601]

@@ThrottleWorks Impressive!!

[@larryradelet1503]

I’m sorry but two wheels and seven horsepower I’m impressed 😊

[@gerrynightingale9045]

*Why not use 'self-adjusting 'chock-blocks' right over the tires already there?* ______ *Not really suitable for 2-foot and higher snow and 'slush-snow & ice' unless you 'walk it out' but I wouldn't try it for real if I were alone in bad sh!t because 'If the machine dies I die with it'* _______ *Mountains in winter are a REALLY BAD IDEA to challenge* *My only real problem w/the 'Rokon' is the high fuel consumption...1/3 gal. per hour is really, really not 'good news' in a crisis* *Even with the 'reserves' built-in it's still not much on range* >>>*Ain't sayin' don't 'like it' because I would LOVE to have one w/a big ass trailer behind it!*

[@guymiller6891]

If you want ideas I'd love to see what it could tell it's supposed to be able to toe a 1000 pounds I mean you could tow a little camper That would be cool to see

[@ThrottleWorks]

That's a great idea! I will definitely try it out! 🤘
