Absolutely crazy, this bike is ready for zombie apocalypse 😂
Got mine one year ago love it. We need to spread rokon lifestyle. Great video keep them coming
Awesome! The rokon is definitely my favorite motorcycle I've owned! And thank you for support! Tell your friends lol
I don’t know why people waste their money on this garbage. It’s too much work for what it is. It’s loud and it doesn’t carry enough gas. Just get a 4X4 quad and you’ll be better off.
I've been wanting a rokon for several years. One of these days!
I had one for two years; it sux riding on sxs torn up trails; you are always fighting to stay out of the track or stay in the track; I only liked riding it when there was NO trail ! Right through the forest, but you better have a saw; hence the name Trailbreaker
These things are freakin' sick, and it's amazing you can do all that with just 7 horsepower.
7 hp and $20,000
Friend of mine in the 70’s had one that had the balloon nobby tires and would go anywhere and climb about anything 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like idaho
Great video - especially the drone footage. Put a few studs on the tires and they're alot more effective on ice and log crossings. Also a softer shock on the front takes away from your body being bounced all to hell...One of the best mods I ever did on my 2011 TB.
Thanks! I'm actually working on a "studded" video right now lol and what kind of shock did you use for the front?
@@ThrottleWorkswhere are the dealers for these. Any in Washington
@SECRETCREEKPROSPECTING1776 I know there is one In north Idaho, and I believe there might be one In Seattle
@@ThrottleWorks none here, thanks
You dont need slow motion for a Rokon lol.
Mine’s about 15 years old, still going strong!
They are cool bikes but way overpriced for what they are.
So how much you you think they should go for
Nope. We know that Rokons are not overpriced because we know that people buy them. And, besides, they are made in small quantity which adds to cost of mfg.
Sorta like a helicopter. Helies are astronomically expensive, BUT, when the chips are down and you gotta get out of trouble, or get into trouble, you call for a heli. When you gotta get through obstacles and through nasty terrain, the Rokon may save your butt.
@@piperg6179 Citing they arent overpriced because people buy them is flawed logic. By your standard nothing in this world is overpriced. Compairing them to something extremely complex like a helicopter is moronic. The most expensive part on the rokon is the engine which is about $350 brand new. The rest of the parts arent expensiver, very simple bike. Total cost in parts I would guess is well below $1k. Companies will charge as much for something as they can. They adjust thier pricing depending if they are happy with profits or not. I bought a Yamaha T7 for $10k the cheapest Rokon is $9k.
@@humdinger5701 My dear chap, let me explain some basic economics to you. We live in a competitive world. The companies that succeed can only do so by having the most desired combination of price and quality in their products. Rokon has been in the market for decades and yet no similar cycle is being produced by a competitor - which means nobody has seen an obvious way to make a cheaper equivalent.
Why? Probably the cost of limited production of frames, gear boxes, shafting, hubs and all the other stuff, plus the engine (however cheap that is) on top of cost for insurance, labor and whatnot makes trying to compete with Rokon unattractive. Rokon’s long suvival without competition by definition means their product is inexpensive for what you get (and what you get includes the high probability that it is reliable and that Rokon will be around when you need parts). So a Rokon is not overpriced- it’s probably a bargain.
Or, try it another way. A Rokon is sort of a compact ATV. Has two less wheels and a smaller engine but isnt made by the thousands. Most ATVs of quality, without all the dude stuff, sell for near $10k also. With the dude stuff they are topping $12k.
Glad to have straithened this out for you.
@@piperg6179 Thats a lot of typing exhibiting zero relevance. My statement still stands and you have said nothing to prove me wrong. Your excuses are just getting weaker. Good luck to you sir.
Got mine last month and took it on its first hunt. A good machine but after getting the deer on plus my hunting weight and the fact that my legs were exhausted from killing him a couple miles out, lets just say I had a tip over spill. You need legs to ride this in the back country.
Yeah they definitely require some leg work but as you ride more and more it will obviously become easier and easier to ride with less leg input haha 🤘
It was nice getting far into the backcountry. Maybe ill get the trailer for my stuff
I'm actually working on building a trailer for it too, hopefully it'll be done in the near-ish future lol
Had a 08 model for years. Get a plastic sled for hauling stuff out.
But it is nice having a vehicle that can handle more than you can.
Listen, I'm not knocking these things. I think they are interesting, but if you need to transverse this type of terrain, wouldn't a 4x4 atv be best suited and cargo room to boot?
A street legal Rokon would be a great year around vehicle here in Canada. Need to change to belt drive and enclose the engine to protect it from the salt. In even colder climates like Edmonton where they use sand, that wouldn't be an issue in the winter.
The vintage rokons with the maxxis big horn 26" tires hook a little bit better. I Converted my 1964 Rokon trailbreaker over to a electric 3000w 80v brushless motor kit. Instant tourqe and a super quiet machine. it packs a punch .
I bet thats a ton of fun! 🤘
@@ThrottleWorks Let's do a video, compare them .
Sounds good to me! Are you near North Idaho by chance?
@@ThrottleWorks Utah county
@@ThrottleWorks Send me a telegram or some way to get hold of you? Facebook?
I gave this a thumbs up even before I watched
Does better in the snow than I thought....got a new Rokon comming soon !!
Yeah man it does great! I'm excited to how it'll do in a little deep stuff later in winter 🤘
Also you will love it! Lol
I plan to stud the tires to run it on frozen lakes
From the videos I've seen, I'm wondering if some of these guys don't run too much air in the tires... either way I'm jealous!
What was the highest altitude that you reached at the end of the video ?
Don’t think we’d be having them in UK 🇬🇧.
We’re not aloud to have too much fun anymore!
❤❤❤❤
That's what we're hearing, it's a crying shame! Hope you enjoyed the video! 🤘
Are you sure? Register it as an off road only bike and directly import it from Rokon 🇦🇺
That thing goes thru snow for sure!!
What tire pressure are you at? air down to about 3-5psi
Yeah thats right, pretty much as low as possible without popping the tire of the rim lol
Its good its like tracktor
Unstoppable unless a grizzly chases you
Those 4 strokes are so much quieter than mine
If its unstoppable why you stop for
Rokon is an overpriced dinasour.
Im sorry but i just dont understand having a bike that is so slow you have to keep your feet down all the time
It's definitely not for everyone but I genuinely enjoy it 🤘
What would the price be on this beauty?
9 K for fully outfitted. Yeah.
BRUH you can get an ATV for that money not a stupid mini bike🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I know this is an old post but, when you say that? You’re totally missing the point
*Just stay off steep-grades because the clutch will 'fry' from the stress!*
***********
*Watch 'Howordian' video for proof*
useless gadget
I want one
10K
Is the carburetor easy to re-jet? Studs would be required on wooden bridges. Snow is hard to "READ". How was the name determined??
Is that Lake Pend Oreille in the background on some of the shots?
Would it compete the TAT
Please explain haha what is TAT?
Красота 👍
🤘
Does it wheelie?
Talk about being ready to take on the world 😆😆
I wonder if there is fuel in the tires to make it heavier
한국에 판매좀해주세요. 꼭 부탁합니다.👍💪🇰🇷
1:00 I víl gobthru that on my sieť bike
Some riding lessons may be in order.
🤔🤔hmm…
But the four wheeler didn’t get stuck…
The 4wheeler took the bypass lol
Over priced minnie bike.
snow wears my tires out
Good video. I need one.
I thought about helping you. No he didn’t. Lol
Definitely did not help out at all that trip! lol
Awesome
Do you think the Rokon is better or worse with the front shock?
I like the solid front end front end better personally, less complex.
So cool!
Hell yeah brother!
Awesome vid man!
круто
That thing is a beast!
They need more power.
I agree, but still wildly capable 👌
I'm glad to see some things are still made in America, and this bike has always been a useful and awesome concept. All that being said though, they cost way too much for what they are. And it's not because the motor or materials are that expensive, it's because you're paying the wages of American workers. Inflation is getting crazy here in the states, and I know the guys that make these need to earn a living, and they're a small company, but it's like the old saying "biting your nose off to spite your face" they charge so much so that the workers who make these can live well above the poverty line, but the fact that they charge so much severely limits the amount that they can sell. Edit: If this was made in China to the exact American specs with no corners cut and the exact same performance and quality you could buy it for $1,500 USD or less.
Basically, you are not totally wrong, but it is a generalisation based on no facts whatsoever.
I make another asumption now:
I guess that they could only survive -and Rokon is around since ...forever - because all the little engineering solutions are protected by patents. And a good patent is worth a lot of money. This thing as been through the Darién gap.
I think this took quite some R&D and very good engineering to make it that reliable. The devil lurches in the details and I think that this is the reason why nobody goes ahead and tries to copy these Rokons....it probably looks a lot easier than it actually is, to make them to be this good. I can be wrong though.
Rokon the bike that takes you over trails slower than you can walk. Lol
I'd like to get one, but they look like they are very very rough riding....
They can be depending on where you are riding and how hard you are riding lol I personally can't get enough of riding it 🤘
@@ThrottleWorks Right as with any bike I suppose, here in California we can only get the Ranger, which is the street legal one. Is there one that has better suspension than the rest? It looks like a monoshock isn't possible, but does it look like there is anything I could do to make it ride better? Seat suspension, thicker seat foam maybe ? Any other suggestions? It's hard for me to fabricate anything without having it here.. asking for my old guy back... lol
