Guys it is going to be an exciting battle!
This time we will have a severe offroad test of two moto atv.
Tarus, that you may have seen already at our cahnnel and Arhar – it is also a very interesting
2 wheel drive atv.
Moreover we will test a regular enduro bike, to see what is better on offroad, moto atv
or enduro?
Well, I think it will be an interesting day, get comfortable my friends, we are to start
right now.
Hi guys as usually its me just an off screen voice and you are watching review machines.
So for this battle we chose two vehicles Taurus and Arhar.
The main features of the both, they are full wheel drive motorcycles made specially for
the hardest offroad.
By the way these bikes are the only transport that is able to move through forest.
Then these machines are very light, even if they get stuck it is always possible to get
out from trap by your own.
An of course full wheel drive, little weight and big low pressure wheels – it’s the
best set to overcome any offroad.
And today we will try to find the hardest offroad and then we will see what atv is better
there!
But first of all lets briefly look at the details of each machine.
Both of them have full wheel drive and the construction is a very similar.
Arhar weighs slightly more than 90 kgs.
The engine is single cylinder 13 horse power equipped with an electric starter.
The rear and front wheels are driven by the chain.
There is a protection for legs and arms, that is very useful for moving in a forest.
When the engineers were creating Tarus they tried to achieve the lightest weight in the
construction.
And they managed to do that.
The weight is really lightest its only 72 kgs.
But the whole design seems to be less durable than Arhar’s.
There is a smaller engine 7 hp, and the starter is only manual.
Also there isn’t any protection for legs and arms, but we have here a 2 ranges gearbox.
The other details are similar to Arhar, chain drive to rear and front wheel.
By the way, if you are interested in this bike you may see the full review of it at
our channel!
Now lets have a light ride through the abandoned sand pit where our riders are preparing for
the serious tests.
As you see a regular enduro bike joined us because it was very interesting for us to
see the difference between enduro and moto atv.
Now I should mention that moto atv is not able to go on public roads as opposed to enduro,
so from this point enduro is better.
But on the other hand moto atv is very easy and quickly to disassemble, and they can be
put into a trunk of a regular car, so in this case they are better than enduro.
Meantime the first little test – a sand hill!
But it wasn’t a problem for all the bikes.
Now a little water test.
Full wheel drive provides good traction and atvs easily overcomes the water, but enduro
was more timorous.
Well, I think now our riders are ready for the real offroad tests, lets go!
Now we put our bikes right into river with a swampy bank.
Arhar goes first.
Despite it is rather heavy, it is confidently moving in water, full wheel drive is a great
thing.
Tarus also was good, but it seemed to me that sometimes it didn’t have enough power to
rotate both wheels in a swamp.
So the rider had to help the bike with his legs.
As to the enduro unfortunately he refused to go here, so I think he understood it would
have been an unreal task for him.
Well its time to move in mud, and lets begin with this puddle, which is much harder that
it may seem.
Enduro and Tarus are trying the first.
And as you see… both have the problems.
Nevertheless they managed to get out from this puddle.
Then Arhar is trying.
And now you see how its footboard are keeping him from moving, so in this case they are
not very useful.
But in the end the rider managed to overcome this trap.
Suddenly some desperate rider on a quad decided to show how we should properly ride in this
mud.
Well, nice try, isn’t it?
By the way the quad was completely broken after such an attempt, so we willn’t see
it today any more.
Now arhar is going back in the same puddle.
I think it would be much better if it had a bit powerful engine, it is hard to push
a heavy bike in this swampy ground, but on the whole Arhar nicely coped with this obstacle.
Enduro bike went through the puddle without a problem but in much easier direction.
Now Tarus is trying.
Well it was impressive, the rider may have wanted to show us, that this section was so
easy, that he almost managed to turn around there.
Now a rider newbie will try the both bikes.
Tarus the first.
Well quite good for a newbie.
Then Arhar.
Afterwards the rider shared his impressions that Tarus is lighter and its much easier
to ride on it, but arhar seemed to be more powerful.
In general all the bikes dealt with the obstacle, and we should take into account that or riders
slightly lack of skills.
Arhar has a drawback, it is peculiar to it that is difficult to move in a rut because
of the leg protection.
But on the other hand it is a feature of the safety so it is certainly may be considered
as an advantage.
As to the Tarus it doesn’t have such footboards, so it goes in a rut much better, but you had
better put on a protective boots riding on this bike.
Enduro looks quite good here, but sometimes there were some problems because of the rear
drive.
So full drive of course does a lot of good on offroad.
Well what conclusion can we make out of our tests?
You’ve seen everything, all the bikes are effective on a rough terrain.
Tarus is the lightest motorcycle, but the flip side it may have some weak points in
the construction.
For example we had the front driveshaft broken this time.
Arhar is much heavier but also more powerful, and it is more difficult to ride on it especially
for new riders.
Enduro was trying to keep up with the others, and it looked quite good despite it has only
a rear drive.
But the rider tried to choose the simplest ways and refused to go through some obstacles.
Well I hope to see your opinions in the comments.
What bike do you like the most?
What is better enduro or full wheel drive motorcycle?
