Super happy with the T7


Rival Component

Recommended Posts

I have just over 2000 miles on the T7 on and off-road and one camping trip. Not much to complain about other than on long rides the seat is a bit uncomfortable. The only other issue is sometimes downshifting the bike gets hung up between gears. Added Rival Components lower crash bars, skid plate and foot pegs. The crash bars did their job had a crash on the camping trip. I hate riding in sand, the only good thing about sand is when you crash at least you have something soft to land on. Good power, I find myself chugging around in second gear off road without any issues bogging the motor down. Fuel economy is good. Like I said in the tile super happy and looking forward to my next ride.

Is that one bag strapped to your rear the only luggage you took? Tent and everything all in there?

 

Those crash bars look pretty stylish, but I would be too worried about them not protecting the plastics adequately. Mine are all scratched up anyway though...

I got the tent, sleeping bag, air matress and pillow in the bag on the back the rest was in my backpack. We didn't need to pack food, water and beer the event organizer had all that stuff at the campsite. I did have a crash on the bike. The bars did a good job of protecting the plastics. The crash bars and the handle bars kept the plastics from getting any damage. Just the crash bars and the hand guards got scratched up.
