I DESPERATELY want a pair of these for my Grom and my girlfriend's Monkey bike, I can't imagine you'd have any trouble selling them if you brought them into regular production. Plenty of people ride Groms and Monkeys off road. I've been periodically checking on the progress you folks have been making on them (I never knew til now that they weren't on their way to full production), I hope I can get a couple pair one day soon.
Jon, Liz and Adam are proper upright people! I’m happy to of met them and own their products! I still have a giggle about when I first met Jon! I took him to be the grounds keep!
This is fantastic engineering. Really good to see companies committed to quality and just doing it right! Nice one guys. Now, regarding some kick-ass wheels for my ‘96 Dominator…….In gold of course!

Imagine if Rally Raid took a Honda CB400X (Japan version) and gave it to Lyndon Poskitt to compete in the Dakar races?! A 400 cc twin vs 450 cc singles. Do it now before anyone else does
Best ADV quote-ish. "I rode the ring off it, no problems." When I walk in to buy my T7 that is exactly what I will ask. "Can I ride the ring off it with confidence?" Shakespearean bike speak. Lovely. Or Robbie "dirty bugger" Burns. I always wanted to start a car park race series for groms but dirty groms look even more fun. Erzberg Grom Class?
I'm sure the dealer would love to tell you yes to that, it's a yamaha so you'll be right back in the shop forking them over paycheck after paycheck. Are you aware that the T7 doesn't even have a consistent maintenance schedule from country to country? In the schedule for Thailand they ask for less maintenance than in America!!! 😂 It's not like it was great to begin with either, the T7's schedule is shorter than many of the thumper on the market. If you actually like riding, buy a Honda. If you don't mind paying KTM money and doing KTM levels of maintenance and expense then buy a T7.
Theres those of us worldwide that do big adventures on our groms. Some even gone half way across the world and around whole continents. There is genuinely a market for ADV bits for them, including suspension upgrades that are available, crash protection, skid plates etc. There are buyers for those spoked wheels, please when will they be available or was this whole video just a teaser
Besides the obvious at the moment, the challenge for the family that runs Rally Raid has been finding a reliable source of rims that can also do small runs. Best bet is to drop Rally Raid an email and express your interest in them. Cheers, John
It would be nice if they could do "something" for the Guzzi V85. I adore bikes with driveshaft. At the same time, I know that market numbers of Guzzi are so small when compared to the other big players, that the investment in time and costs could be a risk.
thas what i would like to build a off road grom i have a hellcat125 clone grom i just got my off road tiers i have a old ssr tr iam ganna use ............... epic video by the way
The bike is a one-off, but the plan was for Rally Raid to make the wheels available. Unfortunately the source of the rims dried up, but if you are genuinely interested in them, it's still worth contacting Rally Raid. Cheers, John
It's a shame that honda hasn't made a 125 adventure motorcycle using the grum engine, like the MGB ATX. I'm sure it would sell well all around the world.
@@bennettsbikesocial Ah bummer is there any way of getting a pair of the spoke wheels as im trying to do exactly what you are doing making an offroad grom!
@@marktreviss-bell2399 Adam has said that he needs to focus on the core business, but he would consider making another set if someone was really committed to it. It's not cheap or fast though (but worth it). John
I’ve been trying to get in touch with Rally Raid from here in US and just can’t. Since they quit marketing through giant loop here it’s hard. I ordered their skid plate pipe and luggage rack for a new 2022 cb500x products are great I’ve installed them I but truly want the level two suspension and tubeless spoke wheels high front fender kit but they have nothing nada for front forks on website spoke wheel won’t work on new forks etc. I own a bunch of bikes including a highly modded Africa twin but I really wanted a rally raid cb500x level 2. I guess I should’ve bought an older one to mod. Does anyone know how to get in touch with these folks if you are in the U.S.??? I Am hoping they come up with something for new bike. Thx.
@@bennettsbikesocial yes is there a number that works here in the United States. The number on the website in the UK will not ring through from My iPhone. I’ve tried
Yeah i could use these and give em a beating hahaha. NON ABS (gotta skid, gotta slide) My current rims are anchors. "If someone needs these" 👋 hi there hahaha
of course it's a couple of brits....lol, i mean the brits do consider a 5 hour drive a cross country adventure...still liked the video and the build though, good job lads!
Nickel is pretty hard material to cut if your cutting solid block are bars lol. On the thing I use to have to working the shop I worked in the past lol. Thoughts guy been asking me to come back and I thought of it

We would all like an update video on the Africa Grom please! Its been years, we need to see more if it.
Amy is an outstanding rider, I was on a BMW event on the central coast (Oz) and with all my skill 😜 and power Amy left everyone in the dust.
Obviously you haven't done much offroad, she is not fast.
@@MrKdr500 that's your assumption 🥴 I'll leave it with you
I’m loving the Africa Grom.
The Grom wheels are amazing. 👍
Right! I'd love a set for a mini supermoto look
J Davis ...I'd like to see a Rally Raid Grom ripping it up off-road. I'll bet it's a blast.
@@blipco5 coming soon!
Jon, Liz and Adam are proper upright people! I’m happy to of met them and own their products! I still have a giggle about when I first met Jon! I took him to be the grounds keep!
Glad you featured Rally Raid. Impressed with their work . The Grom seems like a fun little bike. Definitely on my future list
Fantastic idea! Absolutely love this. Rally raid are making some top products. Just wish the waiting list for items was a little shorter!
It's a small but very passionate team... it's worth the wait!
I have the BMW 310 gs Rally Raid and it is a wonderful bike for technical trail riding. Grom yes, I think I know what my next bike will be!
You guys are amazing! The Grom is Fantastic!
A fan from across the Pond
These guys (RRP) are the real deal - been following their stuff for years. Proper experts.
If you guys start production of these they will fly out the doors!!
I definitely want a set for my Grom!!!
I have a full lvl3 CB500. If RR decided to do a full Grom kit I would have to buy a Grom too. An Adventure Grom would be sweet.
So that’s where the CB500X came from?! Awesome 👏🏻 The Grom looks amazing too 👌🏻👍🏻
Ive had a very similar build with a 181 since 2017. I love it
I think this is brilliant here in the stunt scene we are always looking for a sturdy option, something that can take a proper beating
This is fantastic engineering. Really good to see companies committed to quality and just doing it right! Nice one guys. Now, regarding some kick-ass wheels for my ‘96 Dominator…….In gold of course!
Well done guys, great video, some top quality engineering going on down there. Grom looking well Mr Milbank. 👍
I need this machine for the worst case zombie apocalypse 😂
Great project! It’s a very unique bike 🤙
Cheers

The V-strom market would be a great one for y'all to tap. DL650 here!!
Top of the day. VERY GOOD, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
That CB500 looks like a great platform for an entry level adventure bike
Not just entry level - these things are being used by some very experienced riders around the world.
That's not an entry level ...this is entry level that will level all entireies >>>>>>. th-cam.com/video/wSd6eJ7iNSQ/w-d-xo.html

You haven't lived until you have a Grom grinder th-cam.com/video/wSd6eJ7iNSQ/w-d-xo.html
Damn! I need some of those spoked rims in my life!
Omg!!! Africa grom... Sell like hot cakes lad brilliant!
Only addition I would make is a skid plate, sweet little build!
Absolutely beautiful!
When the old boy talks, you just know he knows exactly what he’s talking about

Waiting for Honda or RallyRaid to do this! Yes yes! I want the Africa Grom!!!
Never have I ever wanted a Grom so hard... 🤔🤩
I know, I wasn’t really feeling the mini street bike but I could like ripping a grom around the fields.
I want those grom wheels!
I'd love spoke wheels for my grom
Did you say Northamptonshire?!!👏🏼 about to pick up a grom on Tuesday and can’t wait to get it off road!

Now you just need to make a bad ass skid plate to protect the exhaust and motor. Id love to hop logs on a grom lol
How much for the entire build?
Please please please do a new triple tree and better fork and upgraded rear shock!
would love to buy one

Do you have any mods that help protect the vulnerable bits underneath? It's very low to the ground
I did mock up a bash plate, but all it did was make it even lower! In the end I decided it'd impair my bike at least. John
Have these made into production yet? I'm ready to order!!
Best bet would be to drop the team at Rally Raid an email. John

When these coming oooout?!!!
And what would you do with a Honda 250 Rally?
What tires are on that 310gs there?
These look great! Also, what saddle bag setup is that? It also looks good
Thanks! It's a pair of Kriega bags, and I welded up the rack myself. Cheers, John
@@bennettsbikesocial is the wheel tubeless?
@@hassanjamal4212 It could be made tubeless, but this one's not. Cheers, John
thas what i would like to build a off road grom i have a hellcat125 clone grom i just got my off road tiers i have a old ssr tr iam ganna use ...............
epic video by the way
Leaving the EU, I wonder if this will create problems for the world markets?
Can I get a part number for the hand guards and bars?
Bars are standard, and the handguards are the ones designed by BarkBusters to fit standard bars
Cant find these wheels anywhere for sale on the website :(
You need to drop them an email if you're interested in buying them. www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk/contact
I wish they did parts for Vstrom 650 and Versys 650...
pff, who would tour on that. you know the grom touring market is huge bro, huge.
So this is a one off then ?
The bike is a one-off, but the plan was for Rally Raid to make the wheels available. Unfortunately the source of the rims dried up, but if you are genuinely interested in them, it's still worth contacting Rally Raid. Cheers, John
Why can't you use 85 hubs?
Hello there.. Is the grom Africa twin for sale.. Do u sell kits or whole bikes.. Love the grom...
The Africa Grom is my custom build, but it was spawned from the idea of having spoked wheels for it. John
now I wish they do something for the Honda cub 125, remember the good old CT90?
It's a shame that honda hasn't made a 125 adventure motorcycle using the grum engine, like the MGB ATX. I'm sure it would sell well all around the world.

That's what my monkey needs
Tasty
👏👏👏👏👌👌😄😄
The nuts
The love the bike but disappointed that the entire video showed to blokes talking would have been nice to see better pictures of the bike.
Too much Grom not enough AT
You can never have too much Grom
ABS is silly on a bike
You see somebody in the UK doing something like this and you ask yourself what happened? Were banks any better for the UK economy in the long run?
of course it's a couple of brits....lol, i mean the brits do consider a 5 hour drive a cross country adventure...still liked the video and the build though, good job lads!
waste of time
Yes, your comment is
First of all I don't ride anything that has the word Africa in it.... and second those groms are midget bikes made for trolls
lol 😂
Why don't you ride anything that has the word Africa in it? What about a Dakar version, is that fine?
Racist!
They actually have a tall seat height and the bars are taller/ wider then they look. I am 6’2 250 lbs and I can ride one comfortably around town
Get back under your stone
Nickel is pretty hard material to cut if your cutting solid block are bars lol. On the thing I use to have to working the shop I worked in the past lol. Thoughts guy been asking me to come back and I thought of it
But nice grom do wish had the extar money to put the 19in rim and suspension on my cb500x right now
