- High country adventures in New Zealand with the big KTM’s. We were not sure if we would make it to the top, maybe the snow would be too deep? Good times all around!
Check out our Adventure and Enduro rider training video series at www.saynotoslow.nz

This makes me feel anxious just watching this. Fitness and courage a must. Huge respect guys.
OMG ! Fantastic video 👍 KTM forever 😁🤟
Man down......still moving.......sweet...
😂😂 Gold!! I want to ride in that group.
I Like how riding any KTM instantly makes you a better mechanic.
😆 confirmed...from riding with KTMs.
But the reality is all these bikes that are dual purpose suffer from not being tested in real life. Torque specs and material are a bit wonky.
@@KLRmurdercycle not confirmed mine are amazing still,just lazy maintenance practices.
Stunning Vistas!
4:39 your videos are always great..Cheers from Darjeeling.
I usually skip through riding video's but always watching your videos from start to finish, full of excitement !!👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Chris I hope the leg of your buddy is ok from the horrible wire, nasty that😬 Brilliant vid ALWAYS & Thank YOU for that !!
A very abrupt ending to this one, will it continue ?
THANKS again👍@@ChrisBirchNZ
Oh my goodnees Chris your videos are always excellent but this is a mind blowing dream! thank You for sharing such a beasty and playful beauty💪💪🙏🏻
I miss NZ so much ! I haven't ridden the country on bikes sadly. Top ride Chris it'a an amazing place.
Brilliant video as always mate.
You've got me convinced on a 890 R for my next bike.
Cheers for sharing 👌
Nice one! I'm sure youll love it.
Ace vid as usual! What a fantastic place to ride 💪💪🏁🏁
This is what I love! Unfortunately I aged out (74) and stay in the slow lane with my Husqvarna 701 now.
Phenomenal as always ! 👏🏻👏🏻
Nice place to ride. I've ridden the same kind of snowy route, and it was an amazing experience.
Incredible terrain!
So much fun to be had riding with good buddies.
Looks absolutely stunning on top of the world 🌎
Awesome video, thank you very much for this great ride and views, difinitly KTM is my choice.
I hope you'll make a ride like this in Morocco.
I said hello to you from Morocan in Canada.
Gorgeous... where about is this Chris? Is it private farmland or public tracks? Chur.
Nice day,,, Killer view.. I think you would enjoy the Colorado 500.
Snow can be fun, but funner with others to push😄
Those views are a bit rediculous.
The 890 is where it’s at for big mountain adventures
this is rad
Great to see you have gates there too! 😂
Two minutes into the video and I am texting my buddies let's go out for a ride
I see a Chris Birch notification, I click
All I could think about, is what would happen if you went down in those rocks at the speeds you were going. Incredible riding.
It wouldn't be pretty!
stay positive and keep training👌
New Zealand is easy top 5 adventure riding. Lots of a variety and beauty.
It's definitely in my top 5
You HAVE to throw snow at your friends if it's there that's a rule!
I love this!
Hehehe to the power of 10.
Did think that hopefully broken rider was OK. Wire always a bastard, our horses will attest to that. Again, brilliant riding, and I wish I had a shot at that bloody wallaby…0800 Australia boom boom.
😜👍👍👀👍👍😜🖐
How the hell none of those rocks deflected any of the bikes at such speed?
Big fan of you. Love from azad kashmir.
Chris, are you doing that terrain on the 890 Adv R stock tubeless wheels, or got the heavy duty wheel/tubed option? thanks
I'm running the heavy duty wheels but Liam is on the stock ones. I definitely prefer the narrower HD wheels.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Thanks I’ll add to my shopping wish list 😀
👏👏👏
What mountain is this? is there public access? amazing
Nice place sir❤
Maximum time on which gear you keep your motorcycle on such terrain?
Mainly 2
What in the world are the gates and fences for ? To keep the Orcs under control ???😁
You know how much us kiwis love our sheep!
Hey Chris, where in NZ is that video taken?
Near Tekapo
Go 990!
How do you control movements of the handlebar like on 14:20? When it becomes agressive from the traction of the front wheel? Very nice riding as ever Birchy!
That’s the front wheel bouncing off a rock. Solid grip with the knees on the bike and looking ahead can usually ride out of it. Does catch you off guard every now and then 😬
Like Liam said. You don't control it you just let it happen, stay stable through legs and core and the bike will generally sort it out.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Thanks a lot! Have a nice next ride!
@@liambradleyellis Oh thanks a lot Liam!! We learn a lot from your group videos!
What tires are you using on this? Has it changed since your last 890 modification youtube a few years ago?
I had Mitas C18 and E12 for this ride.
@Chris Birch - Off Road Coach tubed vs Tubeless? Getting a dedicated set of wheels for offroad, curious if it's worth being tubed.
I hope soon my dream bike
What I am courius about is, why in the world do you guys have mirrors on the bike?
To make them legal to ride on the road. We spend a lot of time on the road with ADV bikes.
Why would anyone bother to put up a fence?
It's New Zealand, we have to keep the 🐏 close by
jono,liam,dave iam from indonesia
TIL: Mr. Birch is left handed.
Is it only me that think Chris is getting a little bored with the pace?
The last willie proves it :)
Kangaroo in NZ???
Its a Wallaby. They are a pest that's starting to spread in some areas.
today i learned chris birch is left handed, or at least throws snowballs left handed.
I taught myself to be left handed for better clutch control…. 😆😆😆
Oh yeah great, ride the closed section and then post it to rub it in the face of those who obeyed the rules.
That comment could easily be interpreted as whining…
Because this was open access we were asked to sweep it just in case. As you can imagine I was more than happy to help! If your back down that way you should definitely check it out.
