Stelvio Pass - The beautiful way down

- Having gone up the pass from the Italian side, dropped down into the Swiss side. In a way, I was thankful for the cyclists, allowed me to slow down and take in the breathtaking scenery.

I am a cyclist, but these guys act like they own the road!
***** yeah, sure, of course..mah
its so dangerous you want to overtake them and they reev out into you without looking and they mad about you. In summer you cant ride this road cuz of the cyclists
down there it feels like you are doing 100mph on a cycle, so you don't think you are slowing the motorbikes down all that much.
They are always in the way! I carry eggs with me for the ones who scream and throw their hands in the air!
Typical
Absolutely fantastic, thanks for the wonderful memory! :) Like you say the cyclists weren't that bad actually. At least thanks to them most of the way down was blocked for oncoming traffic. Definitely a nice and rare bonus :)
thankyou, this need pinning, so many over reactions here
What a great sound!!!!
Beautiful ride with a great bike in a beautiful place.....!!!!!
Go RJ!!!!
THIS is why I love the internet!! Thanks for sharing the view with us
Aaaaand I was just about to say 'I hope you met up with Schaaf'.. Awesome!! :)
Simply stunningly beautiful scenery I'm in awe
RJ you hit the nail on the head stelvio pass is just beautiful!! stelvio pass is on my bucket list now, good vid mate
mind blowing scenic route,,,,thank you Sir Royal J
Rewatching these videos whilst in our second lockdown here in Australia. Thanks for the escape. Stay safe and healthy.
Truly off the hook... You have added another item to my bucket list Good Sir.
It wouldn't be too much of a chore to spend the whole day just going up and down those mountain roads with that exhaust popping away across the slopes, crags and cliffs of that amazing scenery.
Stunning video mate. Loved the scenery and loved the way you negotiated the cyclists with safety and courtesy (even though a few of them I'd have been tempted to slap on the way past) Loved it.
its my most favorite road and it brakes my heart to see you driving with all theese cyclists
Impressive, thank you for that video. I did these pass the opposite way last year. And, yes, there where also a lot of cyclists, but there where driving toward me. In the end I was really glad nobody hit me!
Oh my God! Schaff! :D That guy rocks! It's a pleasure see him in one of your video RJ
Great to see the two best CZcamsrs ride together :)
All i have in my head is matt monroe, days like these playing! Stunning.
Wow! Just wow! Got excited at 1:26 - thought it was a CB500X, but double checked and looks more like an NC700 :)
Breathtaking for sure!!
wow rj those view looks amazing and the bike sounds naughty!
I enjoyed every second of it! :-)
I just rode on this pass this past weekend, it was incredible! Such an impressive experience!
Looks amazing :) would love to ride something like this one day.
Wow RJ that is some view, could have watched that all day and here was
me thinking i had seen it all :)
OK, I kid. That looks amazing!!!
Went here on a roadtrip last year , this year im returning to do the stelvio pass in a 2009 bmw z4 straight 6 :) i would love to hear that sound in the tunnels !
Nice stretch of road that! Good riding fella!
Man the road and the view was extremely impressive!!
This is almost as good as RidingWithTom 's road trip to the mcdonalds drive through, but he had his bike in slick mode, so it was just a bit better. :P Nice video RJ, beautiful scenery and bike :D
This is seriously high on my bucket list! The wooded area was especially nice.
Your exhaust sounds just too good RJ (drooling)
Wow the scenary is magnificant. Wish we had roads like that in australia
I always go to Sulden am Ortler for snowboarding. It always takes us over the Stelvio Pass, beautiful indeed.
what an absolutely stunning spaghetti of roads... have to go there one day :(
another great video RJ.. :) keep it going :D
That intro is amazing.
I should go there.. This pass, is going down on my bucket list. :)
Same :)
See i dont understand those cyclists "they are going downhill and they are out of breath lol "
I would like to pin point a particular part of the video but i was Amazed with the views from start to finish wow absolutely AMAZING and that road is just bike heaven :)
Great video Great ride RJ
Thumbs up
Hehehehe there you are Schaaf
breathtaking !
what a ride amazing how do you hold your concentration with that beautiful scenery
magnifique paysage . tres belle video ;)
Cracking video!
wow beautiful ,thanks for sharing
Looks like a grand trip. The last time I was in the Alps and looking at the scenery I was overtaken by a cyclist doing 100 kph!!
RoyalJordanian "RJ where have you been?" and this are such good videos. Can't wait to check the other Euro trip ones
amazing video
Those cyclists were frustrating the hell out of me. Its so crazy how they just ignore everyone passing through. I saw images of myself hitting them off their bikes like that game road rash lol
+ZcriptureZ What are you some 500 Ib loser that doesn't like some exercise once in a while.
+Purpose Hey hey I'm at a happy 510 lbs thank you very much ;). Seriously though most cyclists like to pretend they own the entire road especially when they ride in groups. Those kind of cyclists are frustrating for everyone on the road
they rly need a own cyclist road its rly dangerous how they drive
Cycling is quiet and much more environmentally friendly than motorbikes. Cyclists have as much right to be on the road as motorists and they can take in more than noisy bikers. I am both a biker and a cyclist and for one I would prefer to do the pass on my bicycle.
Bellissimi paesaggi abbiamo noi in Italia ;)
That exhausts dam!!!!
Beautiful views RJ. Seemed very narrow on way down. Maybe it was the lack of safety rails or walls.
beautifull road ^^
love the sound of RJ's bike and Shaaf lol you can hear his in the background :D

you're coming to andorra? me and my friends we would be very happy, we follow you every day :)
So cool :-)
mr royaljordanian what bike are you on
BMW S1000Rs
RoyalJordanian Did you experienced any speed wobble on the s1000r? There's much chatting about it on the net, they say it has a very light, too light, steering over 100-110mph. What's your experience about it? Hadn't the opportunity to try out one yet.
A fabulous vid with great scenery, I see the cops had a bike pulled over near the end:( looking forward to more.RSM8
Ah mate, this road I have to do at some stage. Europe is a must see on two wheels! Those cyclists were mad! Especially the one at 16:35 that went inside of the car in the hairpin as you were going around the outside. Is the road one way at certain times to avoid collisions? As I noticed a lot of traffic going down but none coming up and I also noticed a barrier across the road just before the village at the end.
The first video I saw of this road was from Holliday Rides in 2013. Then an Aussie friend of mine cycled it. I am glad that you got to ride it with the great man Schaaf!
I will be doing this on a 50cc scooter this summer!
This looks like a track from Gran Turismo. Awesome place.
Favorited !!!
1. S1000rr & RJ
2. Slow and low that is the tempo
3. Incredible Mtn Views !!!
4. 8:30 +Schaaf
5. 16:30 traffic jam ???
6. Always good stuff !!!
RoyalJordanian
Is it okay if the engine backfire's this much, like yours? Considering it's still kinda new?
It's made to backfire, whenever you let off the throttle, it squirts a tiny bit of gas in there. It's something that BMW decided to do.
6 in 5* video, excellent! the view, the driving, the sound...
Amazing
Great.....!!!!
Great Video RJ, as always!
But on thing, isn't this the Giogo di Santa Maria (Umbrailpass) rather than the Stelvio? ;)
wow ..just wow
I love those crackle's and pop's, and I've heard that if you tune the bike with the new exhaust, they go away. Does that mean they're bad for the bike?
once i've seen his nose through the visor it was impossible for me to unsee it
Great view! What was the temperature up there?
Awesome Road to bad you couldn't really had some some fun.
Good choice to take Schaaf behind you... :)
Beautiful road, too many cyclists tough.
That road reminds me of those in the mountains of Gran Canaria, amazing. You should try them in a future trip RJ.
Cheers.
It's a popular training ground mate.
Cyclists usually often train climbs because it's the best way to get cardiovascular fitness.
Feels like hell though.
Royal, I'd like to propose someone for the Subscriber Spotlight (no I don't know the guy, I only know he has a nice bike, nice cam and got his sound worked out too): AlwaysPsyched check his Moseltour #1 and #2 for example (I noticed his older vid's got crappier sound). And as always: Keep up the good work!
I wish I can have cool bikes like you RJ :(
I know it's several years too late, but the conditions probably didn't change and so I ask. Is there a specific time of the day that the traific flows in only one way? It doesn't seem from the video that many vehicles are coming from the other way. Oh and when is there less traffic on Stelvio? August perhaps? Great video btw, nice to see you outside of town RJ.
Very nice Vid RJ, but why did you cut out the gravel bit? Ride safe my friend...
What amazing road. But, why are there so few cars?
Have you been here - yet? WOW!
I took this road very early in the morning last Summer! No Traffic, NO Cyclists going down ;-) No Caravans and almost no other bikes. Sharing these fantastic "dangerous" roads needs a lot of patience and understanding. Not too loose your mind in such a beautyfull enviroment is difficult enough.
Wow u was behind the tour de france!
quite busy! was it a weekend? i was in Switzerland this week and the whole country was empty.. you could ride several passes with out seeing a single car or cyclist!! :D
Wow!!!!!!!!
Very nice
so, next summer will you go in romania to ride on the transfagarasan road?
WOW!!!! What a view. RJ you think a motorhome can go there with no problems?
Buses do :)
WOW! 200 year old road and still a beauty. At least they didn't have far to carry the stone to build all those embankments. A 6700 foot stair with 135 foot steps
Damn a lot of people lack tolerance. The cyclists rarely held up RJ, the cars did more harm (even to the cyclists) but you're not complaining about them. On a descent i always take as much of the road as i feel necessary, even if there is a car behind. But as soon as it is safe i pull to the side and let them pass.
But very nice riding RJ
fkin amazing mate
and then there's the horror of 80km/h speed limit..come on switzerland...
Just wondering, but is that the road used for the final scenes of the original Italian Job?
very nice road movie
I want buy a bike, but I can not decide between Honda CB650F and Yamaha XJ-6. what do you suggest, RJ?
isnt it summer in europe? i would have thought ther wouldnt be so much snow... or is it just that high up?
The last time I done the Stelvio, because of some delays, I didn't start climbing the pass until 6pm, it was fantastic; the sun was just going down, there was just me and a few cyclists, a few bikers and I got top the top just in time for a Bratwurst. It would be great to get to the top early morning and watch the sunrise.
did you do that this weekend? is there still snow? :/
been there last year and havent seen any haha
Rode this pass like 80 time!
Hi
I expect this has been asked before but can you tell me the time of year and also are there fuel stops up there? Great vids. Derek
That was mid June this year. No fuel stops on the passes, so plan your fuel accordingly.
Nice video, which country is this?
What is that control light on your instrument that went red during the ride? Overheated brakes?
+David Marek Low fuel
thank you!
Just a little thing I've noticed: did you change the speedo to kph?
how fast were those cyclist downhill? it looks like nobody's comming from the other direction, wich way was this?
When you brake coming down this mountain road, are you using your back brake too or just your front brake? Thanks.
A bit of both, back to stabilise, front for stopping power.
Hi RJ.
What a stunning trip! I wondered if you noticed any difference in performance of the bike at the high altitude? I would think she would run richer in the thinner air. Did you feel anything?
Didn't feel a difference, not high enough to make a difference IMO.
That's interesting a testament to modern bikes. When I was young high altitude could play havoc with an engine. I lived up a hill that was 250 feet above sea level and my bloody Norton would kick off every time I tried to climb it. It would crawl half way up sometimes and then stop with a burning smell.
I finally took it to a garage and the mechanic mumbled some witch craft about clutch plates. I have no idea what he did but the engine was fine after that.
I realised that it was the altitude that was the problem but the bloody know-it-all mechanic (Pfft) insisted that was nothing to do with, but I have an O-Level in domestic science so I ignored him at the time. I only took it to him when I got tired of pushing it everywhere.
Still, that was years ago and my knowledge of bikes has come on leaps and bounds now. Just last week I learned that chains need oil.
Anyway. Thanks for the videos. Seriously. Bloody excellent.
+InTheNameOfJustice 250 ft will make literally no difference. It was your crap bike.
Cali Fresh
I doubt it, I have never ridden a bike that high which was why I asked the question.
250 ft is a small hill. I used to go to school 1/2 a mile from the ocean at 400 ft elevation. There is no change in air pressure or constituents at that level. Greater than 20,000 ft maybe.
Benvenuto!
