Bro.😮 that was so scarey. I loved every minute of it. My adrenaline had sky rocketed! So, that's what you do. Wow I'm really impressed. You are really skilled. Those trails are so narrow I was at the edge of my seat for every hair pin turn. Can't believe it. Was awesome to watch. Who new you'd be a u tube star as well. Love ya. Sister Shawn Marie.
Great ride Schredder, remember you lowered your foot pegs, now raised your bars, you completely changed your riding geometry, maybe try a new bar with different bend and sweep, could be the answer to the perfect cockpit. My moto is (Stab and Dab, Don't become a Slab) Keep on shredding
Yeah, the achilles heel of the Ultra Bee is that short wheelbase, great in the tight switchbacks, not so much on the rougher terrain & when pointed uphill. Updated suspension will help some & make the bike more comfortable overall, but that 53.5" wheelbase will always be an issue going up when it's loose & rough. Great trails you've got right out the door - youre lucky.
There is definitely give and takes to the short wheelbase. Rough terrain is not a problem in general. Mainly steep, rocky hill climbs are the problem. I did put a steering damper on yesterday and rode some technical trails today. I think it helps a lot with the deflecting problems that I was having with the techy hill climbs. I do plan on upgrading the suspension next winter. Yes, we are very lucky for sure to have quality trails so close to home.
Ive been singing the praises of a damper for the UB since day one ! Those should've been standard equipment from the factory - completely changes the bike for the better. Mine had some air in the system when new & had a 'dead' spot in the middle - it's easy to swap out the crappy oil for some 5wt fork oil & put the cap on without getting air in. @@schreddersworld1050
@schreddersworld1050 yeah at first I thought she bent her bars but then I went to swap and realized the thin sides where the hinge is, tweaked on the side she dumped.

Thanks Sis! It's what I love to do for sure.
Hope all is well! Love you too!

Thanks! I definitely feel better in the cockpit with a lot less back soreness, but I think you are right about the bars.
Feets Up!

@@sidluxurious7816 I agree! It works great and seriously helps the deflection problems.
Great review
You mountain Moto-ers are studs! Bitchen review Schredder! Keep up the good work. FEETS UP!
These lasted my wife 1 ride. She fell in the dirt and the impact to the bars bent these super easily.
Very unsatisfied
That sucks! I rode with mine the whole season with multiple crashes and have had no issue. I would get hold of Warp 9 and see if they will replace.
