We’re sure this lockdown period is taking a toll on you, so what better way to spend time than to watch an epic motorcycle road trip like you’ve never seen before? Before the lockdown kicked in, three ZigWheels hosts went on a seriously challenging motorcycle journey to Africa, astride the KTM 390 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan BS6 and the Hero XPulse 200. This gruelling trip surely took a toll on the riders - but could the motorcycles possibly have survived it? Watch it, and find out for yourself.

Trust me, I dont regret buying Himalayan last year. Its been soo perfect for me.

[@sushilchoudhari3807]

@Abhay Narayan Sharma Its been 10k kms in 9 months now, not a single puncture. Yes I have done hard single tracks and some very technical off road. The only thing is that it is top heavy if you have full tank of fuel in it. I have dropped it more than 30 times now, nothing broke apart from the levers.

[@hv.b.r]

@Abhay Narayan Sharma nothing to worry just go for it, I recently got a new BS6 model, most problems got sorted. Vibrations are way less now..

[@hv.b.r]

@Abhay Narayan Sharma I've had these compared but I feel Himalayan is bit better good, if else not go for dominar. 390 nah..

[@Ganesh-ec2gp]

@Abhay Narayan Sharma I own a Himalayan bs4 .. Nothing problems with the bike...and if you feel problem in tyres then you can use punchure proof liquid

[@Ganesh-ec2gp]

@Abhay Narayan Sharma Yes Brother ..but not use for city when you traveling long distance and in off-road where we cannot find puncher shops .. I use my Himalayan in 50%to 60% off road but I not use punchure proof liquid ... completed my trip well .but when you use 90% off road we have to use punchure proof liquid...

[@akshaymore8435]

The real question is, "how much can you handle?"

[@narayankannan9679]

Reviewing requires skill, story telling require passion

[@a.g.4528]

Best lines ever spoken by the background narrator that goes something like this -- While it's great to have extraordinary purpose-built motorcycles like these, however the same can be performed with ordinary motorcycles as well.....it depends on how much willing in ur mind" ........ Man!! these words are straight out of every bikers' -- the Bible or the Quran or the Bhagwat Gita -- it's where biking becomes more than what it is, a journey of a lifetime in its truest essence, where completion of journey with whatever you have depends on your mindset... Cheers!!

OK, you've sold me on the channel! You guys are a load of fun, even if we can't get all these vehicles in the US. ... and for the record, if you're following the Himalayan compass you're going to find yourself getting into more adventures rather than the point you're looking for. :)

Very entertaining video. Thanks guys. I remember seeing Africa in Yellapur ,Karnataka while driving to Goa last year. Had me stunned and then I googled their history to find out they were called the Siddis. On another tangent, I bought a VStrom 650 just 2 weeks before the lockdown and all I've used it till now is to buy Eggs, bread and vegetables. Can't wait for this to get over.

The last part was dope for real! And i could feel it coz a friend of mine has been doing touring on a hero passion pro 2012 model, that too a second hand bike and he has been taking it to whatever place an ADV can go.

@Ruman Devmane yes bhai..very well said! Me and my friends living in Uttarakhand have enjoy all the trails here and even many places in Chakrata..that too in monsoon on these small capacity bikes. The best one among us was hero impulse though.. others were shine, passion and splendor..but we enjoyed all the trails like a boss, and we were all with Pillions and luggage. I m really looking forward to buying the upcoming Hero Xtreme 160R though. Hero mid-entry bikes are really low-maintenance and good to ride.

I do all the adventure with my splendor ,boxer and rajdoot I have ridden them with bag of fertilizer on my back and sometimes with water motors pumps and other agri equipments it's so much fun the only problem that sometime I face is the low ground clearance of boxer as that bike really shrinks when there is lot of load but it is also the most fun bike to ride single in the trio , rajdoot is absolute beast with its power lifter characteristics while splendor is much calmer and reliable.

One of the best video in ZW Best part in this video 12:55 And the final thing I want to share here.. I own a bs4 Himalayan sleet.. When I was buying I was not 100% agreed with the bike because adv 390 was running in my mind .. But now I feel more than 100% with the bike.. The way it performance the budget we have kept on it..it will be best in all part...now I was thinking when I have a chance to select Himalayan or adv 390 I will go with Himalayan ... because Yes I agreed 390 adv has lot of electronics tubeless tyres led lights but Not use for a rider more than the bike comfort At last but not the least If you want for only off-road go with xpulse If you want for off road and highway Himalayan If you want for only for traveling in highway adv 390 Good concept ZW today I feel better in my lockdown because of this video... collecting memories with my bike..❤️

This, I thought was going to be Another On-Demand comparison. But hey, ZW had different plans. I mean how wonderful and believable a stage did they set to film all of this, not excluding the countless man-hours, retakes and what not that went right in. Right from the Start till the very end, the boys didn't lose an Inch of attention. It certainly is one of those videos which I'm going to watch over and over again not because I love bikes or ZW, but because the status quo being that these 25 minutes and 59 seconds are an absolute work of Art, an anecdote that deeply touches our hearts. It's indeed the escape we needed right now. Excellent job team ZW. ✌🏻Cheers
