ROKON STEEP HILL

[007westleysadler]

All you need to get up that hill easier is tractor-type tires like 4 wheeler ITP 589's.

[MrDarinWarren]

On a hill, the front end is so light. The front wheel drive isn't going to benefit much. Perhaps if the rid stood or at least moved as far forward as possible to get some weight on the front wheel.

[turbolq4]

My CR500 would go over that easily. wheel speed is your friend!!

[MsXDDDDDDDDDD]

no sabe manejar

[bikr1975]

is that whirring a normal sound??

[MrJoshuabaty]

does it have reverse?

[motorhead1]

@MrJoshuabaty No Reverse. Thanks for watching!

[19ramcharger92]

yea those are the ones that have 2 wheel drive!

[TheBrindleBoxer]

wheels are wrong.

[hallsy154]

@TheBrindleBoxer what are the right ones. the drum wheels? thx for watching,

[biggdaddy2001]

@TheBrindleBoxer the drum wheels are one of many options u can get the spoked wheels is what is shiped on the bike stock

[SledgeMakeGood]

@TheBrindleBoxer That's a Ranger model with spoke wheels.

[carnivore10]

great video...they sure look fun!..thanks for posting!

[hallsy154]

@carnivore10 thanks for watching.

[RocketBurn11]

The only thing that would make this any better is if it had a normal motorcycle transmission with more gears and a clutch.

[hallsy154]

@RocketBurn11 nothing better than gears and a manual clutch. owned many in my day. the rokon is automatic so the rider can concentrate on the type of terrain that it is made for. thanks for watching

[OlSpazzy]

Video starts at 1:00

[hallsy154]

@OlSpazzy right on.  thx for watching.

[mikethenascarfan]

@hallsy154 no- ROK ON! lol

[hallsy154]

@mikethenascarfan thanks for having a look!!

[mikethenascarfan]

@hallsy154 no problem

[Kawasakiforlife7]

is that one of those things wit 2 wheel drive?

[hallsy154]

@Kawasakiforlife7 yes it is and works better these days cause there is no shut off to the front tire if you turn sharp..thx for watching

[hallsy154]

@chaplaintoo yes,...ive seen those guys....they have pit bike motors...very snotty vs original ...than for commenting

[hallsy154]

@chaplaintoo only 2 lbs ...the hill was really loose.....just sold it anyway...thanks for the comment

[hallsy154]

@chaplaintoo if its what you want it is

[sparffo]

What a worthless thing, a semi skilled rider could do that any time on a motocross or enduro bike of any size :D

Looks like something from 1930 :D

[hallsy154]

@sparffo thanks a million...i make money if anyone watches...good or bad

[hheywire]

im looking to buy a rokon, is there a website i can go to, im having a bit of trouble finding a website that sells one. i need for when i hit the trails when i hunt, cause down in the lowcountry theres always some deep mud in your way and not always away around it,

thanks

[motorhead1]

Why does the Rokon make that noise at the end of your 3rd attempt up the hill? The camera guy says "oh oh."

[hallsy154]

@motorhead1 the noise you hear is the belt coming to a fast halt and the clutch still spinning..makes a dull screech ...the camera man sais uh oh because he thinks im gonna flip over bkwards backing down...the hill is alot steeper than it looks...thanks for commenting/

[motorhead1]

I have a Kawasaki KLR 650 and there is no way I could get up that hill starting where you started. I would need a running start.....Good Vid!

[SCBianchi]

I really like the wheel you got up front. That thing is almost too pretty!!! Sweet bike, brother.

[hallsy154]

@SCBianchi thanks dude

[Lukedawg1984]

I could have made it with a 125 2 stroke dirt bike, with speed. But thats thing is a beast I love it....

[hallsy154]

@Lukedawg1984 yeah with speed you could jump at the top...if i had the drum rims and had them full of water/gas it probaly wouldnt have even spun....thanks for comment

[Lukedawg1984]

@hallsy154 Fore sure man. Drum rims? u can change to a diff. set you can add weight to by filling them with water?

[hallsy154]

@Lukedawg1984 you sure can...about $800...also you can leave them empty and float it on its side ,,,sounds impossable but true,, there is a vid of that on you tube...i will try to send it to you...thanks

[MrGsteelejr]

1, 2, 3,...fourth times the charm.

[hallsy154]

@MrGsteelejr thank you for the comment



[rwcafe]

looks like fun up on vacation kinda bike

[hallsy154]

@rwcafeyeah it is

[Garysalunatic]

I have a 2004 Trailbreaker. I've had some trouble with spinning tires too. Loose soil or exposed roots will cause tire spinning. It's minor to me because I don't need to go to extremes to go where I want but, like you, I want to test it out. I've gone into some thick stuff to retrieve deer and friends with no problems. If your area has few trails the Rokon is perfect for getting anywhere. (almost)

[hallsy154]

@Garysalunatic Well put thanks for comment

[GearNutz400]

Maybe if you werent trying to ride it like a dirt bike you would have made it up the first try. Me thinks you werent in the right gear for that hill.

[hallsy154]

@GearNutz400 Thats the only gear that will climb a hill that steep.......and that hill is much steeper than it looks,and very loose.

[hallsy154]

@hallsy1555  where is your vids? AND NO THAT ISNT ALL!

[Mackay1911]

Way to tear up the hillside. It is dumbasses like this that get the rest of us guys who run dirtbikes and enduros kicked off of public lands.

What a jackass.

[rokondealer]

@Mackay1911 Nice positive comment....

1-How do you know that he's on public land?

2-This is just a demonstration... I've seen much more damage done by dirtbikes AND 4 wheelers. Typically Rokons do not spin their wheels unless it is VERY steep or VERY soft, but most dirtbikes will spin easily and 4 wheelers with a solid rear axle spin everytime they turn a corner... Just following a dirtbike will generally get dirt thrown in your face but you can follow a Rokon fairly close no problem...

[hallsy154]

@rokondealer thank you

[hallsy154]

@Mackay1911 hey dumbass this my land so if i want to tear it up i will..so stop being a JACKASS and know what you are commenting on!!!!!!

[Mtrhd0024]

@Mackay1911 RokonDealer is right. Rokons are normally very good on the terrain, due to the fact that they're 2wd, and the fact that they use huge wide tractor tires which spread their weight (which is actually quite little considering their size!) out. They barely leave a trace at all for the most part. I'm all for being considerate of the land (I ride dirtbikes, 4-wheel in my Bronco, etc) but lighten up dude! I'm not even sure why you felt the need to make that comment to be honest!

[hallsy154]

@Mtrhd0024 Well said ,rokons tread very lightly..................and further more mackay1911 shouldnt run his mouth off without getting his comment straight first. thanks for watching ,and sticking up for rokon.

[timeOday]

How are you controlling your speed when backing down the hill? That is always hard on a motorcyce.

[hallsy154]

the rokon has only hand levers to operate the brakes

[superc200]

lean forward

[hallsy154]

@superc200 yeah to get some weight on the front for traction

thank you

[nissanR92CP]

it would climb better if he had the "TITAN 489" tires instead of the stock ones.

[hallsy154]

thank you for the comment ,i will be checking out tires in the months to come.

[kalukskate2]

how much does a rokon cost

[1will2000will1]

love the rokon

[hallsy154]

@1will2000will1 thanks 4 comment

[iam2fst4u]

[hallsy154]

[StillenGtr17]

[hallsy154]
