Most Vloggers would've edited the part where the bike struggles and you try hard to maneuver it but you didn't do it. That shows the commitment towards your subscribers in presenting pure and exciting content . A big thumbs up to you and what a great bike your Tiger is. Cheers. And I can imagine how much you would've struggled with a fully loaded bike coming down on these so called roads.
0:30 I would have thought it was a Tuk tuk from the horn. Had I not ridden an ADV before I would have admonished you for surprising me on the wrong side. A 200 kg Himalayan feels like a splendour now. You got balls of steel mate! Listening to that fan running has me scared for em jewels
Abhinav is a experienced rider who has ridden all kinds of bikes and is tall, well-built; so he managed. A small sized rider like me would have parked the bike and ridden pillion on Interceptor. :D Takes courage to challenge such roads
exceptionally commendable efforts bro! I took a thunderbird 350 on that same path and had difficulties because of those narrow turns and the weight of the bike. It takes a lot of skills and guts to handle a massive tiger on those bends!!
I feel you brother. Riding these tiny paths in the hills with the sharp turns and every manner of traffic and beast jumping out at you from nowhere is a nightmarish experience!
I ride the 2018 1200 and I can feel your pain. With panniers and top box the already top heavy tiger turns into an inverted triangle, basically. There's this sweet spot that exists where you feather the throttle just as you start to tip over. Havoc on the nerves but a lot of fun as you get better at pulling it off. Good ride, brother. Cheers.
Hey buddy. Yeah, you are right. Have to have a little bit more faith in the throttle. To be honest, I think my nerves got the better of me in that situation. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt for good reason, chief. it's scaaaaary trying to keep controlled momentum on sharp, shallow switchbacks like these. Hit me up if you ever find yourself south of the tropic of cancer, the beds are warm and the beers cold.
Abhinav: Tiger is my priced possession I don't want to damage. Tiger: Dude take me of nicer and smoother Roads. Interceptor and Alto: I'll gobble up this roads. Xpulse: Hold my 🍺.
Got bumped into this video randomly.. god I have never felt so stressed mentally and physically. So captivating. And loved the stress. I'm madly in love with Tiger and its whistling sound
Hey Abhinav, Amazing tough climb, with a super view all around!! I think that the luggage at the back made it that much more tough, especially on the sharp turns!! I know, one day you'll sit back & watch this video & think, "Oh! I did that too?? What was I thinking??!!" 😯😯 Stay safe, take care!! Cheers!!
man thats what i like about your channel ... raw , unedited , motorcycling content ....and i have full trust that , you will keep it this way in future as well.
Superb, awesome vlog, don't think that I have ever seen a more honest review. So many insights, thinking if the Tiger is even the right machine or maybe we should have training schools to realise the full potential of these bikes but definitely beyond me 😀😀
Vipul Dhanik you gotta be kidding me, you're comparing the dominar's weight to the tiger? Your Dom weighs 190 kgs, while his tiger weighs ~350 kgs with all that luggage he's carrying. Ez pz my ass. Its easier to comment sitting on your bed in your home rather than actually doing it.
@@sinuslebastian6366 I don't think me meant it in an offensive way. That's exactly it was easy, because of the light weigh. It'd be even easier on a Duke 200. I could only imagine how hard it was for Abhinav. Reversing something like a bullet with your legs feels like hell. A triump with luggage would be 10 times harder.
Too many " f. ck" s.... And so was the heavy breathing.... Being a biker I can try to understand how tough that climb was to the "Stupid" Snow Point ! 😁
I have done the same route and destination on my Himalayan last year in Feb...I was on 1st Gear too however Himalayan being a nimble and lighter bike as compared to other ADV's wasn't this tough ✌️
@Abhinav Bhatt I don't understand, this is a 1200cc bike, which seems to have plenty of torque and power and yet it has trouble climbing the steep roads. Is it because of poor low end torque? I am planning to buy a Honda cb350 and after looking at this video, I wonder if I would be able to go through sections like this on it.
"abey merikaise ghumegi"famouslastwords😂 Hairpins are always crazy man, it's tough to manage even a 180 kilo motorcycle at the turns, can't even imagine your struggle.
Watched this at first I thought not so bad🤔but as the video went on I have admiration for you & your skills! Live in the UK can't say I have done a road like that on my Tiger 1200 xca don't think I would but you never know... Ride on brother 🏍️💨💨
@@abhinavbhatt you know what to expect this time round am sure you would do it easily, make a video of the descent on the way back would love to see that one😉
I can feel u brother.... I ride a ducati multistrada 950 which weighs 240kgs and with added luggage 😨😨....it gets really hard to maneuver these big bikes at crawling speeds...slights the bike leans too much too either sides just forget holding up the bike only option is to drop the bike.
Well done son.... One of the toughest rides on a heavy motorcycle especially the hairpin maneovures... Thankfully, in India, we hv our fellow countrymen/women to help us in difficult times... Imagine this in Europe or America...scary... How was your descent?? Would love to see it....take care ride safe.... Jai Hind....
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Had he helped me there, I would have started relying on him the entire climb. Good that I did it completely on my own.
@@abhinavbhatt Great outlook to have. But, that's still no excuse for him though. I too have a friend like yours. We meet and talk and hang out. But, going riding with him? No, thank you. Never. Ever. Again.
Delhites going to mountains, on top of a 300kg motorcycle, radiator fan going nnnnnnnnnnnn. 💀 You got it. Waiting to see if any westerners see this video what they have to comment. Well done dada. 🥵
8 minutes into the video and I'm watching this with 100 percent concentration,even tilting my body to help maintain him balance on turns.
😂😂😂
Hahahah. Thanks man
😂😂
At every turn when I felt bad for the climb and turning radius, I saw a creta or alto parked! :D
Hahahaha. But 4 wheels get more traction and they do it every day. I guess with practice, I'll get better on the Tiger too.

Sumit Bhatia I got a 1200 my self. Trust me, he’s burning that clutch
I can smell the burning clutch😂
Hahahaha. Shorty levers weren't helping.
And the skid marks in his trousers 😂
@@abhinavbhatt the clutch is fine right? 😅😅
Athang caM 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haha you are driving an Impala in chandni chowk, it was bound to go hard.
Or Red Thar in karol bagh😂😂
@@DHS562 haha that may still cope up but quite close.
I had just that in mind while climbing!
That's a 70s muscle for you

hey abhinav, we sure need a raw video of you getting tiger back down from there Xd
I'll try.
Abhinav : Koi highway milega snow point jaane ke liye?
Man : nahi bhai aise hi jaana padega
Abhinav : Tho tiger ko bech du? 😂
Hahahaha
In terms of low end torque RE does perfect engine tuning
exceptionally commendable efforts bro! I took a thunderbird 350 on that same path and had difficulties because of those narrow turns and the weight of the bike. It takes a lot of skills and guts to handle a massive tiger on those bends!!
This video can have better title "why not to buy tiger 1200 😂😂".
Hahahaha
800 was way better
It's this blood and sweat you bear with your bike which builds the most unbreakable bonds! Cheers Abhinav!
Man my heart is beating like I am gonna die watching this.
🤣
*i 'm eagerly waiting for the trickier part of the ride - climbing down the slope!* My heart goes out to the Tiger's Clutch ❤
WoW.. just WoW... I own a tiger 1200 XC ... I can exactly understand how tough this is... well done 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interceptor is such a gem of a bike!!
Truly is.
My mother was praying for you to ride safe to the destination while I was watching this! Tough one man.
I feel you brother. Riding these tiny paths in the hills with the sharp turns and every manner of traffic and beast jumping out at you from nowhere is a nightmarish experience!
I know the feeling of saying fuck fuck in mind and the frustration. 🤣🤣
You’ll remember that ride forever and laugh about it. 😀👍
Oh yeah. Climbing wasn't hard though. The turns really were cumbersome.
Cameras always fail to capture the steepness. Only from Abhinavs expressions, I can understand how steep it really is..
Aama naa..

Tiger: Dude take me of nicer and smoother Roads.

Waiting for part 2:
*The descent*
Yet to decide if I will do that video.
@@abhinavbhatt 😂
Abhinav Bhatt please do. Infact, that'll be more thrilling than this one!
6 mins into the video even I was getting tensed and worried for the bike 😝
Hahahha
Got bumped into this video randomly.. god I have never felt so stressed mentally and physically. So captivating. And loved the stress. I'm madly in love with Tiger and its whistling sound
This is what an Hardcore Rider looks like ...🔥🔥🔥and it's not about what you ride it's all about how you ride...
Hey Abhinav,
Amazing tough climb, with a super view all around!! I think that the luggage at the back made it that much more tough, especially on the sharp turns!! I know, one day you'll sit back & watch this video & think, "Oh! I did that too?? What was I thinking??!!" 😯😯 Stay safe, take care!! Cheers!!
man thats what i like about your channel ... raw , unedited , motorcycling content ....and i have full trust that , you will keep it this way in future as well.
Yeah. Because I don't even know how to edit and neither am I willing to learn. Haha
Finally interceptor is way better than a triumph tiger 1200 😂
Superb, awesome vlog, don't think that I have ever seen a more honest review. So many insights, thinking if the Tiger is even the right machine or maybe we should have training schools to realise the full potential of these bikes but definitely beyond me 😀😀
Done shit like this on a Honda Hornet. Would choose less weight over more power any day. Kudos for taking a 1200 there.
Its the ride we seek, not the destination. And man.. u had a hell of one.
My school was on top of this hill and i used to climb this route on foot. Imagine how many horsepower i had back thn😁
😂😂 such a beautiful place to have a school
Dude, I could not help but laugh at your commentary 🤣. I have a 1200 DE and know your pain. But the bike is amazing!
High time Tigers get a reverse gear, if EVs can have it, "Tiger ka toh hakk banta hai" 😂
jeez dude kudos you did it my heart beat went up only seeing these
Truly adventurous abhinav , jaw dropping one...
Again u made my day welcome back once again dude
Thanks
My man this was incredibly entertaining
Title the video, Delhi boy gets frustrated and sounds like he's crying for 16 Minutes straight :p
lol true, i have done that climb with my dominar, ez pz

And so was the heavy breathing....
Being a biker I can try to understand how tough that climb was to the "Stupid" Snow Point ! 😁
Hahahah. It was tough, man. And seemingly, never ending.
Come to north east India
You’ll get to experience more of these.
Iske liye tune mujse ye karwaya ??? 🤣🤣. We all have such friend.
I'm usually that friend.
i bloody fell of my chair laughing at 14:37 after watching the most challenging climb. I am dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The struggle is real! Kudos!
Thanks
now i feel my himalayan is a lightweight ADV... however Tiger is great bike .
Great video .. it feels like I am experiencing struggles of the ride
The tankbag is making it kinda more difficult 😅
Actually, not much. The GoPro is mounted at chin level and not we level so it makes it seem like that.
@@abhinavbhatt Oh alright, it seemed as if it was almost under your chin lol. Safe riding mate. Cheers!
@@prathameshacharya9739 thanks. Cheers
I felt that sense of surrounding and at points felt so scared like I was on it. This is crazy man.
We kind rode on steep roads like these when we went for our trail ride! lol! Excellent video!! Enjoyed it completely!
Abhinav: "Yaar will we have to come down from here also?"
Newton: "Beta. What goes up, must come down!" LOL
Things we do for seeing 'Snow Point' Hahahahaha #KhatroKeKhiladi!
Dude, let's do this ride together. I'll take a different bike this time though.
@@abhinavbhatt I'm in.
The video is as funny as hulchal movie 😂😂😂😂
16 mins of skillful driving dude👍
Who was struggling more tiger or Abhinav 😂😂 hope u have safe landing
Definitely, me. A better rider would have done so much better here.
I have done the same route and destination on my Himalayan last year in Feb...I was on 1st Gear too however Himalayan being a nimble and lighter bike as compared to other ADV's wasn't this tough ✌️
Yeah. Problem here was the weight and the sheer size of the bike. Also, all the weight was pretty high, making the turns hard work.
@@abhinavbhatt yes of course! 300kg bike weight+luggage+rider weight...you sure build some muscles in these 16mins😋
@Abhinav Bhatt I don't understand, this is a 1200cc bike, which seems to have plenty of torque and power and yet it has trouble climbing the steep roads. Is it because of poor low end torque?

Because of the weight and the end-of-its-life front tyre.
Me watching this vedio :
Mereko aisa Dhak Dhak horela hai re baba..😁
Hahahahhaha
This is the prime of moto vlogging🤣🤣 we need more of this. Plus we need a vid of riding down plz sir.
Chote bikes ka maza hi alag hai....❤️
Bilkul, bhai
Looks like it was a cake walk for the INT 650😅
The rider made it look easy for sure.
I'm now very very veeeery curious about the descent, that probably required greater control than the ascent!
I was more freaked out while descending.
@@abhinavbhatt How about a dedicated Vlog on that ??
@@joemathew3100 will try.
@@abhinavbhatt Waiting... 🤞🤞
"abey merikaise ghumegi"famouslastwords😂
Hairpins are always crazy man, it's tough to manage even a 180 kilo motorcycle at the turns, can't even imagine your struggle.
‘Man this climb is no joke” and a Maruti 800 is smiling there😀
Between your heavy breathing and the 250 kg bike with its turning radius......
I had a Nervous Breakdown!!! Thanks
Haha
Aye man. Seriously though. Seeing from the last scene. Your tiger is such an insanely beautiful motorcycle. So attractive
Your deep breath shows how difficult the ride was..
10/10 want to see downhill footage
Do tell me if u r coming to pithoragarh, munsyari as well.. byutiful place to enjoy snow everywhere...
If the GoPro is showing the road as steep, then it is really really steep
Oh yeah. Only GoPro users know how steep it really would have been.
The Interceptor guy was just fucking with ya :)
Hahahaha
Aren't you Akhil Kalsh? If you are, you should know that, I really miss your blogging website Riderzone. You should consider bringing it back
That's one helluva feat, man!
Now, I know what you meant by the 'struggle' you were referring to the other day!😅
Man someone rode a Bajaj avenger to that point.. amazing
Great job! Definitely a nail biter. BTW What horn did you upgrade to? That cant be stock.
It's nice to watch Abhinav swearing! 🤣
I swear all the time.
Bro jitni badi bike hogi iska turning radius small hoga you need to find the right point for turn it can get turn on one go
Fingers were crossed for your clutch
Hats off to you to take that bike on that slope and probably you had luggage on it too haha.
i definitely wanna see the next video, climbingdown with your tiger and skills
Let me see if I can edit something for that.
Start dragging the rear brake instead of the clutch. The rear sinks in and the throttle isn't as jerky. Should help a lot.
U had a tough time.. was it any better for d interceptor guy?
Abhinav on the ride: "Should have gotten the Africa Twin"
No. Himalayan.
Watched this at first I thought not so bad🤔but as the video went on I have admiration for you & your skills! Live in the UK can't say I have done a road like that on my Tiger 1200 xca don't think I would but you never know... Ride on brother 🏍️💨💨
Thanks, brother. I feel I would do better if I attempt this road again. I'm not looking forward to it though 🤣
@@abhinavbhatt you know what to expect this time round am sure you would do it easily, make a video of the descent on the way back would love to see that one😉
Haha. I'm not brave enough to attempt that. We took the easier, albeit longer route down.
Never should have sold your RE Himalayan man .:)
I love how cutely you say "Thank you". It is so adorable.
Alternate title - Watch Abhinav Bhatt freak out for 16 minutes straight. XD
Maybe that's what I'll call the descend video, if I do it.
@@abhinavbhatt Yes Please :)
I want to see how you are going to bring it back down
I'll try to do that video.
@@abhinavbhatt that would be awesome and scary to watch.
Meri toh video dekh ke saans phool gayi.
Is that suzuki access 125 climbing like a pro @4.00min
That was completely unexpected oh my god!
Royal Enfield better make bigger Himalayan for my man 😤
roads like these in Nepal specially in Katmandu and pokhra are very common
Cool
I can feel u brother.... I ride a ducati multistrada 950 which weighs 240kgs and with added luggage 😨😨....it gets really hard to maneuver these big bikes at crawling speeds...slights the bike leans too much too either sides just forget holding up the bike only option is to drop the bike.
Yeah. The downside of a big bike.
Single cylinder 250 cc is more apt for mountaineous roads lik these 🔥
Absolutely
Nice ride
But I think your bike is equipped with hill assist then no need to worry on incline road. And I also welcome to our hill roads😅
Not too sure about the hill assist. The problem really was with the tight turns.
Seriously not meant for the 1200 Xpulse 200 would fly here 😂
I was missing my XPulse on this trip.
Well done son....
One of the toughest rides on a heavy motorcycle especially the hairpin maneovures...
Thankfully, in India, we hv our fellow countrymen/women to help us in difficult times...
Imagine this in Europe or America...scary...
How was your descent??
Would love to see it....take care ride safe....
Jai Hind....
I m curious to see how you came down😂,But respect ✊ for you brother,want more moto vlogs from you
Wow!! Some friend you have there!! You handled it remarkably well; and I don't mean the climb. Dost aise hain tho dushman kis kaam ke?

Steep slopes in Nainital makes walking difficult.
Army : we take young boys and turn them into men
Triumph Tiger 1200 on this road : yeah?
Man. This bike has so much power! Is this so hard because of the weight or does the tiger have a larger turning radius
