Wet weight is 492 not counting sundries. Not light.

Actually by quality I’m referring to quite a bit more than just ease of use and installation. You make a fair statement I didn’t explicitly specify in the video by which standards I was holding the product. To be fair there are a lot of videos about this product already so I was purposefully trying to be brief. So for all viewers and especially Lars, here is a more detailed breakdown of why I value this product so highly: 1. Ease of Use Dynamoto stands are exceptionally easy to use. Their unique omni-directional casters allow motorcycles to be maneuvered effortlessly in tight spaces. The intuitive design eliminates the struggle of repositioning heavy bikes manually. 2. Materials The stands are constructed with high-quality, durable materials such as steel and reinforced components, ensuring long-lasting performance even under significant weight and repeated use. 3. Fabrication Method Dynamoto employs precise manufacturing techniques, with attention to tolerances and robust welding. The stands exhibit excellent craftsmanship, reflecting a professional production process. 4. Durability Designed to support heavy motorcycles, Dynamoto stands are highly durable, withstanding regular use in garages and workshops without warping or weakening. The wheels are also resilient to wear over time. 5. Performance The omni-directional movement enabled by the unique caster system sets the stands apart in performance. They allow seamless maneuvering, making them ideal for constrained spaces or crowded garages. 6. Aesthetics The stands boast a sleek, modern design, with a minimalist and professional appearance that complements the motorcycle rather than detracts from it. 7. Safety There is no wheel locking mechanism or chalks to keep the stands from rolling on sloped ground - this could be an area of improvement. 8. Reliability Dynamoto stands consistently perform as intended, with no noticeable decline in functionality over time. Users report reliable operation, even under regular or heavy use. 9. Functionality The stands offer dual functionality: lifting the bike securely and enabling omni-directional movement. This versatility is a standout feature, enhancing their practical value. 10. Ergonomics The stands are ergonomically designed, with handles and mechanisms positioned for easy access. Lifting the motorcycle requires minimal physical effort, reducing strain on the user. 11. Size and Dimensions Compact and efficient, the stands are designed to take up minimal space while providing robust support. They fit various motorcycle types, including single-sided swingarm and standard bikes. 12. Packaging Dynamoto products arrive well-packaged, ensuring all components are protected during transit. Instructions and parts are neatly organized for a frustration-free setup experience. 13. Environmental Impact While the stands are built for durability (reducing the need for frequent replacements), additional information about the sourcing and sustainability of materials could enhance their eco-friendly profile. 14. Warranty and Support Dynamoto provides solid customer support and warranty coverage, ensuring that any manufacturing defects or issues are addressed promptly. 15. Cost-to-Quality Ratio While the stands are priced at a premium, their superior functionality, durability, and unique features make them a worthwhile investment for motorcycle enthusiasts and professionals. 16. Attention to Detail Every aspect of the stands reflects meticulous design, from the precision of the caster system to the finish of the steel. The details contribute to a seamless and high-quality user experience. 17. Flourishes Unique features like the omni-directional casters, detailed directions and professional grade painting and branding add a level of innovation that delights users. The thoughtful design simplifies motorcycle maintenance and storage significantly. 18. Comparison to Competitors Dynamoto stands outperform traditional motorcycle paddock stands with their unmatched maneuverability and versatility. Few competitors offer a comparable combination of innovation and practicality, making Dynamoto a clear leader in its category.

@@actionmotorcycles This is quite extensive, but i see more why you talked about them the way you did. I am not familiar with them, but i do like the omni-direction system, their size and the fact that they look quite versatile in their design. It also looked quite easy and simple to use. This is what stood out to me the most and also why i mentioned this in my initial comment. I am curious to how the omni-direction system would work on a more rugged surface. As can be seen in your video the surface in your garage is quite flat and smooth looking. For now this is not important to me though as there are quite a lot of things i need to sort out before looking for such items....of which would be to get the license and a bike. Appreciate the video and your extensive reply.

Of course, thanks for your comments! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Also if you’re looking for a first bike, consider one of my previous videos on the Royal Enfield Himalayan: Escape Ordinary: Top 10 Reasons to Own a Royal Enfield Himalayan | Action Motorcycles Vlog #3 th-cam.com/video/4AX7fO55tpY/w-d-xo.html

The Reckless 40L and Reckless 80L do not require panniers. I love them, specifically for that reason. Their system allows the bags to be removed with the harness still attached to the bike. I highly recommend you check them out… and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel! Let me know if you’d like to know more about them.

Great question! Are you talking about some of my shorts, etc? There is a GPS remote accessory for the Insta360 cameras that collects all the telemetry data and you can choose how to present it through the Insta360 app. Works great… as long as you remember to use it!

Awesome story! Wish we could have ridden across, but was not meant to be. Definitely a fantastic view and cool destination!

Thank you!!

Thanks for the comment!!

@@actionmotorcycles you're welcome 🤗 Also, your thumbnails may need to be prettier and the videos should also be SEO'd so your channel will grow faster.

The DDX is incredible, after having now pushed it hard in a number of different terrains. I have not ridden the Harley but I hear it’s super heavy. My dad rides a Multistrada V4 Rally that has the same motorized suspension adjustment. My only major viable complaint about the DDX is the wind buffeting at 70+mph.

@@actionmotorcycles shorter windscreen and get clean air. Windshields will always make wind buffering. I’ve been racing dirt bikes and riding Harley’s for 30 years and absolutely hate buffering. Ha I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying to make bikes right. Either a full fairing or nothing at all. Cool videos!

@@actionmotorcycles Go demo a pan am, it will surprise you. I’m looking for something more for doing Colorado passes (BDR’s) or I would get one.

@johnanthony6141 Yeah, I’m in sort of a ‘fashion is suffering’ scenario with the DDX because the shorty and touring windscreens change the aesthetic of the bike IMO. 😂 Thank you for watching!!

@@johnanthony6141 Yeah in a lot of ways it’s not a fair fight… coming from someone who is 5’-8”, the seat height of the Himalayan makes it one of very few realistic options for a significant amount of the population. Thanks for commenting!

Absolutely! Keep an eye out for a test ride video coming your way. I plan on riding my 411 to the shop and doing a direct comparison one ride after the other!

That’s fair enough… have you seen FortNine’s video on all the things ‘recommended’ or ‘required’ to be done at the dealership? Really tough for an ADV bike. However, IMO that kinda comes with the territory if you’re buying a Ducati. For me the wind buffeting at highway speeds coming off that windscreen is MUCH more of a dealbreaker… but it just looks so good :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for your comment!

Thank you! It was amazing!

Thanks!! I’ll be trying out a couple different logos - you heard it here first I have stickers coming!

I’m been telling myself ‘it is what it is’ a lot. Looks like going slow and duck walking is going to be the baseline approach. My biggest challenge is that this stuff comes out of nowhere on this trail.

Thanks! Such is the life! Plan is to go back and ride the route I wanted to try in 4x4 to see if it’s bad sand everywhere or just in that one spot. I love adventure riding but 2 days worth of surprise sand isn’t exactly by dean ride…

That’s good news!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Wait until you see the next video…

Thank you!

Thanks!!

Yeah! Thanks for watching! Just wait, this is just a warm up!

Thank you for your input!

@@actionmotorcycles your welcome^^

Thank you!!

Next time!

Well - That’s what I thought too… wait until you see my next video. IMO those 70/30 tires and my skill level combined just need to equate to me going slow through deep sand.

Much appreciated advice! Looking at Trailmax Raids.

Very lucky I had someone stop by… weirdest thing ever getting wedged into the sand curb…

All part of the fun!

Absolutely. Though I will say the DDX is amazingly sturdy as well based on the abuse I’ve already put it through.

Thank you!!

I reckon easily three, maybe even four Himalayans for the price of one Desert X with a few options added.

In my country you can get about 5 Himalayans for the price of a stock DX 😅

Sounds about right!

Excellent ideas! I’ll let someone else test the passing patched riders thought probably… but the helmet law is a great topic! Everyone knows loud pipes save lives 😂 How is that controversial at all? 😎

@@actionmotorcycles great video btw :)

Thank you!!

It isn't controversial at all. It was scientifically proven to be a myth, years ago. Lol

Are you sure?

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you keep watching!

Yeah… posted before I saw the qualifying times! Maverick couldn’t be touched this weekend…

Glad you liked it! Happy to subscribe back!

Lol no the RE is certainly not an HD… I don’t think I actually made that comparison in the video. Just wait, in a couple weeks I’m going to literally compare it to a Ducati Desert X and really stir the pot! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I’m 5’8” with a 30” inseam. Certainly a challenge to adapt to the seat height but far from impossible to ride! please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Cheers!

@@actionmotorcycles since you areseasoned rider already you will adopt and progress quickly 👌💪👌

Thank you for the vote of confidence! It’s definitely been an experience that’s forced me to improve on fundamentals!

Thanks! Yep definitely still learning with the audio setup. Keep watching and hopefully you’ll see improvement!

Thanks Jeff! It will be fun taking it up to Colorado later this year!!

Thanks Willie! Genuinely my only real issue with the REH is not whether it can do cross-country or long distance highway trips between off-road adventures but whether I have the time to only travel 70mph (at redline no less) making such a trip. Coming from a pro I appreciate the compliments! Your videos make it look easy sir! I’m still trying to get the right balance for sound at high speed.

@@actionmotorcycles My videos? lol 😂 I’m just a ham, I wing it… I Have fun with it, try to entertain and hopefully those who watch get something from it as well. You’re in a very “content worthy” area.. where I am in Va, not so much. Too much freakin’ pavement😝 I’d love to be where you are.. great scenery and places to ride. With all that, as long as you keep it entertaining while enjoying it yourself, don’t turn it into work, you’ll go a long way.. I started out with a fishing channel that has morphed in to an outdoors channel and my most watched video is on the Honda Monkey🤪😄… Most people watch TH-cam for “information” and if you’re lucky, they subscribe and follow. Doing the “outdoor thing” on a motorcycle will keep people watching. I do a little bit of everything, so I understand there’s videos people will watch and some that won’t get watched as much.. but I’m totally cool with that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, my opinion means squat😆, but you’ve got a good foundation.. Willie

Thanks Willie! That’s exactly how I feel, it’s in a class by itself specifically set apart by it’s value - what you get for the price. I will say this, it has the lowest seat height of anything remotely in its class and certainly has the lowest seat height of any bike capable of doing what it does so well. Glad you enjoyed the video! Keep watching, big things coming up! Come on down to TX sometime and we’ll get some sand on your tires.

@@actionmotorcycles I’m binge watching as we speak. I have a channel as well, I understand the trials and tribulations, believe me!! lol

Much appreciated! I’ll check out your channel as well!

Thanks for the compliments and the advice! I love your video idea… I’ve got a couple big trips planned for 2024 but that needs to get added to the list. I love the concept and the ‘personal challenge’ aspect. Safe riding in Colorado - keep an eye out for me up there next summer!

@@actionmotorcycles Look up Lake City Colorado and the Alpine Loop. Give that Himalayan a proper work out.

Will do!

Have you ridden up to Pikes Peak or have you ridden Phantom Canyon Road? I’m going to have to get something a bit more robust before I ride up to CO. Stay tuned for that!

@@actionmotorcycles I have driven in a truck to the top of pikes peak. Nice to say that we "climbed" that one. Dont know anything about Phantom Canyon. Look into southwest colorado where the pavement ends. The front range is crowded with idiots (like Houston - LOL) and is a tourist trap.

I can see if I was doing more cross country riding I’d possibly want a bigger engine and then have a mode to dial it back for off-road vs street. However the Himalayan absolutely works for me for everything I need.
