Thank you for all your support and guidance on this trip dude. This would have not happened without you. It's a lifetime memory
It was a fantastic trip. So many new memories.
I like your style of riding and your appreciation of the moment. You show the adventure and it presents itself vividly. The countryside is awesome. Im looking to tour as well. Thank you and good luck. You have a subscriber in me ... 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words. Appreciate it. 👍
All the best for your travels. Be safe and enjoy.
@@theduderides I’ve been looking at your travel route for the last hour on Google Earth. Absolutely awesome. Totally inspiring. Thank you Sir…
@ddub6135 thank you. The northern and north western part of India is absolutely stunning and perilous. Lot of fun riding our bikes around.
Man just about 200 views and 100 subs but somehow , surprisingly this video made it to my feed . So glad, this is such good cinematography . Felt hella relaxing to watch. Definitely gonna go biking to Ladakh one day
Thank you for such a lovely comment. Glad the video had a positive impact. And you should do Ladakh on a bike, loads of fun.
👍🏽
An amazing ride and such good videography.
Thank you!
Amazing.
Thank you. 👍
Amazing video Man. I love it.
Thank you. 👍🏽
What preparation did u do to face a puncture situation. As on the spoke wheel one cannot ride without fixing it?
I carry spare tubes, tyre removal and tube removal tools. I have practised tyre and tube removal few times but no idea if I will be able to do it out when travelling in remote locations.
Thankfully, i didn't face any punctures during this ride.
Being prepared helps but wishing punctures never happens. 🤞
Great Video, ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. 👍
well shot, appreciate the rawness of the experience. what exhaust are you using?
I am using a QuickShift Racing exhaust.
Thanks for watching. 👍
Wow
Thank you 🙏🏽🤘
Which handlebar your using?
Barrel exhaust handlebar.
When did u do this ride?
This was in late September early October 2023. Only got around to edit the video now.
is there anything that you missed in xpulse riding in Ladakh like any feature or anything that would make your ride more comfortable. How was the offroading ?
Few things actually.
1. I would've preferred a bit more power. It did struggle a bit on climbs. Not a lot but a bit more power would've definitely been amazing. I Wished they had put the new Karizma engine with 25 bhp. That would've been sweet. (looks like Hero is on course to release a newer XPulse with the Karizma engine).
2. The footpeg position is not the best for standing up and riding for longer durations. It needs to be atleast 2-3 inches behind than it is now, inline with the rear swingarm pivot. (there's a footpeg relocator made by JC Moto but that costs 8k. I'm thinking of making my own).
Those two issues. Other than that it's a lovely bike. It's lightweight is a boon. On one occasion we were stuck under a rockface with drilling going on. Had to reverse and get out of there and due to the lightweight XPulse, I was out of there in 10-15 seconds. (unfortunately the GoPro had run out of batteries and didn't record).
@@theduderides Thanks, man. This helps a lot. I’m planning to buy one.
👍
Which tyre inflator would u recommend?
I use a Resqtech inflator which plugs to the bike battery. It doesn't have a battery of its own. I prefer it over battery operated inflators as I never have to worry about charging the inflator.
Unfortunately that company no longer exists and almost all tyre inflators available in the market today are battery operated.
@@theduderides did u carry the complete tyre puncture fixing tools
Did ur vehicle got puncture on the trip
Did ur vehicle got puncture on the trip
I only carried spare tubes but keeping the puncture repair kit (rubber patches, gum, etc) will not add any extra weight.
And no, fortunately I didn't face any punctures during the trip.
Did you rent this bike ?
Nope. It's my own bike.
