Did this trail today, with fall leaves on a ground and wet rocks it was hell. I did it on 150xcw and I still cannot wrap my head around how this can be done on big adventure bike! Props to you Chris!
I cannot believe my eyes. That you could do that on this bike and also a couple of other videos I have seen on the KTM1090 has convinced me that this is the bike for me, though I would never take something even half as rough as I will have my wife on the back with me. Amazing riding.
Chris, you're hell of a legend! Always when I see your video it inspires me to try something more on my 990 Adventure! Go on with showing us what is possible with the right guidance! :-)
Awesome ride! Chris Birch where you using different sprocket sizes, I´m just changing my counter sprocket to a 16T, I hate clutching that much on technical single tracks.
I would like to see how was your position, while you were facing that really awful scary trail. That angle can't show the difficult, how steep or even the obstacles of that trail. We just see you in some troubles and that you solved the situation... how? It would be great watching while you were passing some hard obstacles... how to face those obstacles. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this video.
What the !!!! that's not a dirt road like I see on the other reviews with big adventure bikes. That's a balls out ride I would only TRY on my 250. I don't know what to think now.
I've climbed Green Mountain relatively easily... on a perfectly dry day... on a KTM 200... LOL. Seriously THUMBS UP for doing it on a big ADV bike. I also ride a KTM 1190 and I don't think I'd bring it up Greens, but with good friends I would try :-) The way you recovered from that very first rock at the base was great - poping the clutch. Gives us a preview of Romaniacs Chris. Enjoy!
Great video and awesome skills on rocks! The stock suspension is the best one i have seen on an adventure bike. The only thing is bothering me about this bike is a drive-by-wire throttle. I have made about 2000km on such bike, and there is still something in my mind that the throttle might be opened too late this time. Maybe it's because the throttle grip in offroad mode have a big travel without significant response from the engine. It is very useful on offroad, but it scares me on tarmac.
I feel even more inadequate ... a 1090 in places I wouldn't take my little 690 .... I guess it is time to man up. I ma also glad to know I am not the only one that talks to myself.
What tires do you recommend for when you are getting into the gnarlier trails like this and not much gravel road or pavement? Awesome video as always bud.
Reminds me of the hell i used to pound my 2nd gen klr through, def wouldn't want to do it on a bigger bike! Although I'm sure the KTM has much better suspension.
Hey Chris! With your extensive use of both the 1190 and 1090, which is your preferred tool for most ADV work? Are the suspension upgrades and weight making the platform better with the 1090? Do you prefer the extra torque of the 1190?
I do not have bike envy, at least on that rocky muddy mess! It is so much work taking a 500lb plus bike through those kind of trails. Would much rather be on my 250 2 stroke that weighs 200lbs! Can you imagine how much tremendous effort if takes to recover a 500lb stuck bike! No thanks!
Hi, have the same bike, and sometimes in bumby seccions hear a similar sound like yours like a something is loose in the bike, do you think maybe the chain is loos and slacking or kinda whipping?
The 2 biggest takeaways I get from this video are that you're a man amongst men, and I truly suck at riding my 1090.
Jeez, that was a crazy workout...from right here in my chair, LOL, I’m exhausted just watching.
Good workout for he clutch too, hehehe.

Phenomenal riding. Wouldn’t have made it past the first rock on a 350 : )
Holy cow, I'm literally sweating from just watching this video. Big up Chris ^^
The stuff you do on these big bikes is absolutely incredible!
ridiculous. I never watched 10 minutes of 1 angle action cam before but this was amazing. Lee did ok too

Nuts! I love it! Come on KTM, Give us a 1090 Super Enduro.
Right down my alley. You are one guy I wouldn't mind riding with!
I could totally follow you on my 800GS, just need to order a winch first. Mad skills man
no words... epic
I'm going to call you... Chris, the unstoppable! 😎
Damn dude, this was intense. I have an 1190 R and I can't get close to this. Hats off!
I feel so inept. Lol. This was awesome!!
Es increíble lo bien que conduce este muchacho. Pasa por lugares que dan miedo. Tremendo!!!
Where are you finding the traction for all of that? Absolutely incredible riding.
Looks like pure torture, I never would of believed such a large bike could make it through that hell if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes.
Well done buddy. I am highly impressed.
nice work chris, is that quinns at calabogie? going to be there in a week or so and would be keen to try that climb!
Its called greens mountain its part of the Corduroy enduro. Not a big deal on an enduro but there is some good stuff to play on up the top.
That was just pure epic riding mate 💪
Bloody hell Chris. You make it look like you're on a 250. 🍻
Chris, you're hell of a legend! Always when I see your video it inspires me to try something more on my 990 Adventure! Go on with showing us what is possible with the right guidance! :-)
it's impressive when you hit the right pace..Awesome!
Mega. Thrill to watch! Thnx for the video!!
Awesome ride! Chris Birch where you using different sprocket sizes, I´m just changing my counter sprocket to a 16T, I hate clutching that much on technical single tracks.
im adopting that talking to yourself mentality :D
this is totally sick! unbelievable skils!

Take me with you on these trails 😍
This video sold a lot of 1090r’s. Myself included.
And is offroading as easy as it seems in the video ? 😀
@@cracotator Mosz likely not. But hey, the bike can do it 🙃
@@cracotator in you're an expert... yes
@@cracotator For him it is, but that's like asking an Olympic powerlifter if something is heavy ;)
This was on a 1090!!! I mean on a 1090!! A 1090! I am in awe!
So you are hooman!
You talk to yourself an the bike too😂😂😂❤❤
Incredible route!!
What the !!!! that's not a dirt road like I see on the other reviews with big adventure bikes. That's a balls out ride I would only TRY on my 250. I don't know what to think now.
Awesome riding man!
I would do this on a trail bike or perhaps a 250.... but it scares me to see someone doing it on one of these... serious skills...
And I'm sure the camera doesn't do these obstacles any justice at all. I would have love to have been there to watch in person!

The Chuck Norris of Adventure Riding - or a centaur, with a KTM instead of a horse body.
Haha
It would seem so.
Awesome stuff....big thumbs up!
Unbelievable talented guy

I think I'll be asking for a refund because my 1090 R can't do this ;)
fantastic! The commentary is great.
LOL yeah! Like euh-oh you don't wanna go there. Was a great Romaniacs preview
wooooowwww, i would like to watch you with the new ktm 790 adv
And now you can :)
Pero qué tío más basto! Increíble
Far out! So cool.
hat tip to you ! you ride it like a 125 ! amazing !
What tires do you recommend for when you are getting into the gnarlier trails like this and not much gravel road or pavement? Awesome video as always bud.
nice stuff Chris!!!
Bring that thing to West Virginia and I'll take you on trails every bit as hard as that, if not worse, for days on end!
Man!! You are the fucking boss!!You are a beast!!You have come to Spain to ride with us.

Crazy,thks for video.

Chris, going to be buying the 1090 soon, is that the Akrapovic exhaust your running?
wow...epic workout. Feels good to rip it when done with rough stuff...:)
Master!
I'm with Chris when it comes to water holes... "ugh..."

Hey, awesome riding in the saddle man! 😎💪🔝What kind of tires are you using? And what inside of them... 😁 Thanks for reply and nice greetings from 🇸🇮👋
This is an older video so I would have been running Mitas C17 and E09. These days I'm mostly running E12/E13
@@ChrisBirchNZ thanks for reply! You are the man! 😎💪🔝
I've no word behind this ...
Hi, have the same bike, and sometimes in bumby seccions hear a similar sound like yours like a something is loose in the bike, do you think maybe the chain is loos and slacking or kinda whipping?
manolo lopez Yes it's the chain. It's important to get the tension set correctly or else they make all sorts of noise.
God mode: on
Wow bro 😳👏
That is a massive bike to take down a trail like that. It must be just about the challenge because the actual ride cannot be fun.
It's a different type of fun!
Congrats
What pressure are U using for such a trail Chris?
Awesome!!!
EPIC!
legendary
Chris, well done man! whats the name or where is this trail located?
Greens mountain near Gooderham Ontario
The driver and the motorcycle, with the consequent damage to the motorcycle and the fatigue of it.
🙏
Uffffff extraordinario
Riding how’s intended
Shit thats rough
That's some hardcore porn right there! Intense stuff!
Damn!!
wow
YOU are insane..wanna borrow my 350 XCF?..you can!
This gave me a panic attack
😧................................
Why is your bike not overheating, why haven't ;you crashed yet or got stuck,, why are you doing this.
Fooking ell
Confess, are you taking drugs?
why, are you selling?
@@ChrisBirchNZ because normal man can't do that track, mission impossible 😁
It just helps when you're like 6'3 or something like that. With God like skill
What's the best tyre for these conditions on the big ktm
This guy could do it on road tyres
