NC700X Off Road Test Article

[GT928]

I don't believe this has been posted yet as I think it was just published online today. HellForLeather did a write up of the NC700X off road. An altogether reasonable and enlightening review.

thanks for brining this up. I love reading every single review of the bike I now own!

I am down to19 lbs on front and 21 rear for sand and gravel with the TKCs. Use a real good pressure gage and the wheels should be fine.

Although I don't plan to take mine off road,that is a really good article

"Compare that to the bikes it was equally capable to on Taste of Dakar: the $12,090 BMW F800GS, $15,800 R1200GS and even the $18,350 R1200GS Adventure. One of those BMW riders would inevitably wander over while walking off a sore knee or whatever from their latest fall, ask about the unscathed Honda, then hobble off looking distinctly sour after hearing the words “seven thousand bucks.” "

What is a good front trail tire for the bike?

Ya, I think they said they were working on stuff four months ago for the NC, so far zip.

I don't expect to take my NC off road ( at least not intentionaly }but it good to know that the bike is robust enough to allow me to do so if I wish

I talked to a guy at their booth at the Indy Dealer Expo on Feb. 17th - he said that they should have engine bars out in 4 to 6 weeks ..... lets see how close they come to that estimate. Always good to see different options available ...

I'm going to be running a TKC80 front for our trip to Deadhorse in June.
