My goal from the beginning is to make a seriously dirt worthy DS.
The R² can do it. I've been doing black diamond trails on it
and have no problems.
Even double black diamond trails - these are a few shots from
the Troll Trail system out at Hollister
There are miles of singletrack like this that wind down the ridges into the
canyons out at Hollister. I was happy to make it down this day without
a drop and even took the easy-out about a third of the way through. This
stuff is Burly - there's no turning around, you enter from the top of the
ridge and exit through the bottom of the canyon. Going solo is scetchy
because there could be washouts or trees freshly fallen across the trail'
So beat by the time I made it back to the two-track I parked
and sat down with my head between my knees for 20 minutes.
