Eight desert riding tips for enduro riders︱Cross Training Enduro

http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com Great tips for desert riding on enduro bikes! Desert riding. It's quite different to typical enduro riding. This is our first ever ride in Australia's outback, so we figured it was a good time to cover some tips for desert riding. Riding technique. The most important thing is to ride within your limits, and expect the unexpected. Hidden rocks. Soft sand. Unstable rocks. Riding off cliffs. If you are seriously injured, it could be hours before emergency services can reach you in the desert. Imagine a 'worst case' scenario, and ride accordingly. Riding in soft sand. Stand on the footpegs and keep your body weight to the rear. Avoid using the front brake, and slow down by reducing throttle instead. Relax and let the motorbike move around. Don't try to over-control the steering. Riding in sand usually becomes easier with speed. Your wheels ride over the sand instead of sinking into the sand. See our training vid about soft sand techniques. Riding over rocky ground. Your riding technique is quite similar. Stand on the footpegs as much as possible. Your legs act as extra suspension and you can control the motorbike better. Keep your weight to the rear. Keep the front wheel light so it will be deflected less by rocks. Use more rear brake than front brake if traction is poor. Ride in a higher gear to lower the engine revs. This gives you more control over the motorbike, and lessens the chance of the rear wheel spinning on loose rocks. See our training vid about riding in rocky terrain. Stay out of the dust, as much as possible. This was great advice from our lead rider. One rider ignored this and rode straight into a gully with serious consequences. You want the best vision possible in unpredictable terrain. If you want to stay close to a riding buddy, just ride off their 'rear quarter' and let him know you are there. Motorbike setup. If you use tubes, lower air pressures make a big difference in soft sand riding. But increase your air pressure for rocky terrain to avoid punctures. Thorns can be a big problem in some deserts. Some riders use mousses to remove the issue of punctures. The TUbliss system can make puncture repairs much easier as you can just use tyre plugs. A tyre sealant like Slime is another possibility, although not always 100% reliable. Ultra heavy duty tubes will reduce the chance of punctures a lot. See our video comparing the pros and cons of mousses, tubes and TUbliss. Air filter maintenance. Even if you try to avoid dust, your air filter will probably become dirty rapidly. Maintain it well. Ensure it's fitting properly. Consider using a type of 'sock' over your existing air filter for extra insurance... and easier cleaning. Steg Pegz. These are a great idea for desert riding. The rubber pucks hold your boots in place and it takes a lot of strain off the upper body... perfect when you will be standing on the footpegs a lot. Every motorbike in our group had these fitted. Steering dampers. These are probably a good idea if you spend a lot of time riding desert terrain at high speed. They reduce the amount of handlebar movement in soft sand and rocky terrain. Experienced riders often don't bother fitting steering dampers, especially if they only ride in deserts occasionally. But I must admit it worked well for riding in soft sand at speed. Tyres. There is a huge range of options available. Do your research. However, I think it's worth looking at high-profile front tyres like the Shinko 90/100 'fatty'. However, I think it's worth looking at high-profile front tyres like the Shinko 90/100 'fatty'. It raises the front of your motorbike which provides better stability at speed. It's also a wider tyre so it is more likely to ride on top of soft sand than sink into it. Suspension. Soft sand? It can be worth increasing the compression and rebound damping at the front and rear. You can also increase the 'sag' at the rear for more in-line stability. Rocky terrain? If your motorbike is reacting harshly, try decreasing the damping by a few clicks. Motorbike protection. If you mainly ride in soft sand, you can probably keep your motorbike light and not use too much protective gear. But for rocky terrain, a set of handguards and a good skidplate are your basic minimum. Toolkits and spare parts.
