jeffers Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi, has anybody got or owned a T ride, I have been looking at it for LDT and trail riding and the trail bike route at some trials. Don't see any at any events, i wonder why, are they any good , or are they to exspensive, I have a pampara which is good for all the above but just feel like a change, OR NOT.

craig10 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Overpriced I think. There was quite a lengthy review in TBM last year, they really rated it. Only ever seen one, on the IoM, think it was the one that was on sale here some time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonal Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) We have two TRides. His & hers... We have hade them for about 18 months now & they are very good trail machines. They are NOT enduro machines, neither are their trials machines they are a genuine half way point. As a trail bike I think there is little to beat them in terms of ease of ride, reliability & weight. They can cope with almost everything we have ever thrown at them & that includes six week trips off road in the Pyrenees. I have used mine in a couple of the ACU Trail Bike rounds & found the TRide to be great. Is it as good a some of the Edited November 21, 2009 by Loonal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespikeyone Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Loonal How do you think the t-ride would cope with enduro? would it be a good bike to commute to work on during the week then maybe try the odd enduro of a weekend??

loonal Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks for that info LOONAL sounds like it could be what i'm after,Just after a bike that can cope with some technical stuff and still ok if some miles need to be coverd, what sort of distance do you get from a tank, approx, my pamp dose about 70 per tank inc reserve. jeff We get about 135/145 KM depending on going, without reserve. Reserve is about 30km. We have a tank bag that fits in an extra 2 liters per bike so we look at about 180 all offroad. Loonal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done a couple of hare & hounds & a TRide did the Tough One. So I suppose they would do an enduro. They have less suspension than an Enduro bike they so I presume would not cope with really fast going so well. BUT if its wet & tight, they are a weapon!!!, particularly if the event calls for trials tyres... Cheers LOONAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick annick Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'd overlooked the T Ride - I'm looking for something to do LDT's on, so far considered the Beta Alp 4.0, Kawasaki KLX250, CCM SR-40 and sticking lights on my '75 Ossa MAR... I'd prefer a triasl style machine to the an enduro type, though there's not much choice out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the problem, theres not much to choose from, i had a very late Honda CRM which had lots of nice bits and did all things perfect,then out came the CRF 250 X ,so i got one of these only after selling the CRM to find that it was no way as muilty tasking as the CRM . gutted as the CRM was now gone, so now thats why i am keen to check out the T ride. Not sure how much better than my pamp it will be !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
