Mapping the unmapped Omkoi beauty

[KTMphil]

There are so many unmapped trails linking villages in the Omkoi region. Poking around down here is fantastic.

4 of us are down there currently, the weather is beautiful, more to come soon.

Not sure if you can make out the trail we just did in the distance

Stock first gear on the klx is horrendous compared to the crf. I had to ride the klx up a few steep hills, the crf much easier.

Are you sure about the Gears Phil ? . I would have thought they where geared similar. did you have a CRF with you at the time or was it just from memory.
I recall riding both a KLX and CRF up a steep muddy trail within 10 mins of each other and if anything the KLX was easier because the stock dunlops had slightly better grip on that particular surface.

Mark...we did some really nasty stuff, I had to ride Bob's klx up a few horrible gradients, the crf is much much easier comparing standard gearing on both.

Bob's just about had enough here.

This Omkoi region really is something else, tons of new trail data today, fantastic ride.

 

[lakota]

Well, I have been thinking the KLX could do with a lower gear

no pain no gain :LOL
