  • Episode 8: Departure from Proddatur: Off-Road Adventures to Chitradurga
    Leaving behind the bustling streets of Proddatur, we set our compasses towards Chitradurga, a historical gem nestled within the heart of Karnataka. With the Triumph Scrambler 400X in convoy, anticipation brews as we chart a course through rugged terrain and untamed landscapes.
    As we venture deeper into the heartland of Karnataka, the allure of off-road exploration beckons. With unanimous agreement among our group, we veer off the beaten path, seeking to test the mettle of our trusty steeds amidst the untamed wilderness.
    The Triumph Scrambler 400X, renowned for its versatility and off-road capabilities, proves its worth as we tackle rocky trails and dusty paths with confidence. Its agile handling and responsive throttle make light work of the challenging terrain, allowing us to navigate through the wilderness with ease.
    The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, with its rugged build and sturdy frame, rises to the occasion as we traverse through uneven terrain and rocky outcrops. Its long-travel suspension and robust design instill a sense of confidence, as we push the boundaries of adventure on this off-road expedition.
    Not to be outdone, the KTM 390 Adventure showcases its off-road prowess, devouring every obstacle with gusto. With its lightweight chassis and powerful engine, the 390 Adventure effortlessly conquers the trails, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
    As we continue our off-road odyssey towards Chitradurga, a sense of camaraderie fills the air, as we bond over the shared thrill of exploration and discovery. With each twist and turn of the trail, we are reminded of the resilience and adaptability of our chosen steeds, as they rise to the challenge with unwavering determination.
    Arriving in Chitradurga, dust-covered and exhilarated, we reflect on the day's adventures, grateful for the opportunity to push the limits of our bikes in pursuit of the ultimate off-road experience. With memories of today's journey etched into our minds, we eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead as we continue our exploration of Karnataka's rich tapestry of landscapes and heritage.
    Join us in the next episode as we unravel the mysteries of Chitradurga and delve deeper into the history and culture of this ancient city. The adventure continues, and the road ahead is filled with endless possibilities.

    This has been one of the best bike comparison I’ve watch for a long time. Just fantastic guys. This is exactly how most people would use these bikes, 80% road and 20% off road. They have all coped well, but I think there is only one true Adventure Bike. Let’s see.

Love the chat at the end, would be nice if you could do it in your next videos after every day riding, just a few thoughts after 300+ km, it would build up a good lot of opinions/emotions by the end of the series! These are the three bikes I am undecided with for a future purchase, but I'll probably be ending up with the Himalayan!

    This is such a great adventure. Wish I could be there too! One tip I have for extreme heat riding is to soak you base layer in cool water periodically and then keep your jacket zipped up to slow down evaporation. It will keep your core cooler, which will help everything else.

    hi idk if ull reply but im 19yo rn and i've never driven a bike but yes i do have some money to buy something of 5 grands. ik itll sound dumb but shall i go with the new triumph scram 400x. can i a scrambler to tracks? does the wide handlebar and higher seat height kills the fun of leaning? height wont be an issue as im 6'2. but can u help? are scramblers equally fun?

    Hi Simon, what panniers bags do you guys use and are they rackless?

    • @thatbikersimon
      @thatbikersimon  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They have a rack each side, I’m unsure of the brand of bags, there a India made company. I’ve tried to google them but nothing comes up. They were already fitted when I got the bike.

      I've ridden all the North East quite a few times. We rode through and stayed in every state. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Meghalaya. We rode it every year from 2013 to 2023. This is the first year we've missed it. It's an incredible place. I love it. Cheers. Alex
