Another great video! I have to say though, the isolated areas you venture to sometimes are both exciting and a bit daunting at the same time! Can't wait for the next one!
Best of wilderness, nailed on the ebike. I came in to there off the other side further up the glen, spectacular scenery. If you had gone up the left path you would of nailed the lochans pretty quickly. Some great routes on the other side of the road too.
Number one in putting out top rides and top quality you deserve way more followers come on everyone tell your friends let’s get Andy were he deserves to be up there at the top 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧✅✅
We did this route on our first Torridon trip. We had no motor and that climb to the descent goes on forever. At least the descent is loads of fun. Cracking blind riding mate. I remember how big some of those water bars were!
Those west coast midges come in chinook helicopters man. I had the pleasure of meeting them at at Garelochead a few years ago. Loving the return to the mountains, those trails look awesome.
That looks like a cracking route. Brutal on the rims:) I went there last summer and did two routes but don't recognise that one. I need to go back and do it with my ebike next year.
Ow man! I was planning to ride a few routes when I visited Torridon in 2017. However we had about the same weather for days. Gushing down rain. As I was travelling with the family, my window to do ride passed and we had to move on. I've vowed to be back, to do this ride sometime in the future. Nice video! The Kenmore Path from Kenmore to Applecross was on the list. Sadly didn't manage to do it.
I feel you’re soggy pain I did the Torridon loop today in the pissing rain my socks were full of water up to the ankles. But that descent is epic down into Annat.
Absolutely awesome as always Andrew well done mate 👍 Me and the misses was up North Wales the other weekend, we did Tarw Du in the pissing down rain. Was a great day and the Kenevo's didn't miss a beat in the pouring rain. Keep up the great work mate 👍
Good footage on what was abviously a bumby ride, I was just thinking `I bet your arms are pumping` and hey ho you go and say it LOL Inspirational as always
Wow seriously even in the rough weather scenery looks spectacular really atmospheric..... And lol thanks for the geography lesson my friend.... And your correct nothing like real life that scenery honestly wow your a lucky man...
@@McTrailRider yep I've learned I really want a electric mountain bike lol waiting for the new powerfly to be released as its got a 650 battery I think I'll need the extra power...
My dad went to visit relatives in Scotland last year and my aunt went this year. I think it's my turn for next year. Hoping to buy a nice enduro before I get there tho. My 110mm hardtail will not work on trails like that.
@@McTrailRider thanks man. Going round it on Sunday, will give the full loop a shot but will be prepared for a grim uphill experience! Ps thanks for always taking the time to respond to posts, it is much appreciated.
Great Ride Andrew, interesting to know the distance you rode and battery consumption. As you stated you where riding 50% power. Do you use mission control or Blevo app to manage the battery/motor power? I'm riding a 2018 Levo and coming to grips with the bike and power management to make sure i get max range with challenging terrain climbs. Cheers B
Thanks for the reply Andy - looking at getting myself an expert, however I'm a 650b kinda guy.. love what, & how you ride fella.. keep the footage coming.
Great vid mate. Clearly demonstrating what the ebike offers you, ie up lift! In turn, offering access and do ability. That ride you did, the day light available to you, no way you would have achieved with an acoustic bike. Query, why no gloves? Surely you must have customised your handlebar grips, (highly cushioned) in order not to be wearing gloves. #explain 😁
McTrail Rider so hot the weekend there, up on the Cathkin Braes and had to take my gloves off. Soon realised riding without gloves was no comfy! Unique that you can do it.
Next level skills skipping over those drainage ditches!

Wow! Very rocky, but very pretty scenery.
Took a chance on that one. Turned out to be another classic. Well ridden again mate.
Torridon is unreal. Was there a few years back on our way th the world Cup. Brilliant weekend!

@@McTrailRider I'd agree with you there.
Saw darkness coming down,but you made it,glad Alix picked you up. Nice area!x
Stunning scenery Andrew. A great ride.

Just watched on an Oculus Rift, and it really adds to the FPV on the bike and gets really immersive.. great video.. punishing for the bike and rider..
Great stuff! Whetted my appetite for a trip to Torridon!

Remember this route well.............barstuard hike a bike section - then an amazing descent in the heavy rain! That's the torridon weather for you!
Loving the gimbal of late, 7 is ok but theres just no substitute for a steady horizon... keep up the good work and thanks for another great video ✌🏻🧒🏻

TH-cam needs to hear about the plans that some of us have heard via Patreon !!
Looked like a fun decent 👍
how big are those drainage ditches dude? some of them look huuugggeeee
Bloody Rain 😕 glad it's Stopped for you buddy 👌 it's been Same here in the mountains north Wales ☔ spot on with the Ebike have fun Andrew 😉👌
Does it recharge itself going downhill, or only with a charger?
What kind of googles/glasses are they?
Thanks, love the vids, new subscriber a few days ago 😎😀
do you think this would have actually been better with a non e-bike due to the amount of hike a bike?
@@McTrailRider thanks man. Going round it on Sunday, will give the full loop a shot but will be prepared for a grim uphill experience! Ps thanks for always taking the time to respond to posts, it is much appreciated.
@@McTrailRider ps how long it take you point to point?

Hi fella - is the Levo standard, no upgrades? Any tyre inserts? Top Job..!
Thanks for the reply Andy - looking at getting myself an expert, however I'm a 650b kinda guy..
love what, & how you ride fella.. keep the footage coming.
@@McTrailRider Those that have them, mostly don't wanna give them up, for some unknown reason 🤔🤣
2019, with a wheelset change I feel, maybe in order 👍
Not a fan of easy bikes but that did look fun
On your climb, what mode were you in? Did you use 'turbo' most of the way up? I'd love to join you for a ride someday :)
Do you wear knee pads even in really hot weather??
mtb'ing - made from girrrrders!

Hi if you looking to save cash on CO2 cartridges look at air gun shop lot cheaper then MTB shops or online bike stores.
Bulk buy 👍
Outstanding views
Not going to bother with this cos I don't have a e-bike and I cant admire your skills when you are "cheating"
shame cause its a good ride.
its not cheating.... its called being greedy as you get more ;)
You don't need an e bike. He only used his as he only had limited time. I wouldn't fancy spending an unplanned night in the mountains.
E bikes don’t help on the decent and you still need effort to get them up 🤔🤔
