Has anyone tried some off-road test with the Scrambler? How do you think?

Last weekend I did some. My conclusion is it should be ok for dirt road as long as it's not too wet.

For example, it should be ok with the road conditions in the first two photos below. However, in the last two photos, when the bare earth surface is wet and the earth stuck to the tire, then it would be the limit.

The road on your Youtube looks quite ok for the Scrambler. Looks forward to your real test this weekend

Hi Karlo, what do you mean by "very different review"? Do you think it can perform better or worse? I would love to know about your experience.

Well done on taking it 'off road' - I don't think I'd be wanting to take it across a lot of wet mud either! I have taken it up some very rutty stoney and pot holey tracks and it coped fine with that

no no I meant, that usually people post videos/photos trying highways or normal roads not that dirty roads as you did which is cool

The Land Cruiser board I frequent is called ih8Mud...and I agree Some of the most trouble I've found myself in has been from exploring mud!

Back in the day we would strip everything off the bike and make it a dirt bike. This also included lacing up 21" front tires, changing out the shocks, forks, etc.

Ducati did a good job with the retro thing but you can make it a good 1970's dirt bike but not a 2015 dirt bike.

This is from today and this is definitely as rough as I would ever think of riding the Scrambler. But is was pretty rough, it is hard to tell looking at the terrain but it is pretty deep in quite a few spots.

Thanks for sharing, MotoChief. I totally agree with you. Cheers!

Did a one day trip in our 'Lueneburg Heath' area in a mixed group from KTM EXC/Freeride, Kawasaki KLX, Honda Africa Twin and Triumph Tiger. Sunny but wet track with sand, mud, grass. With original Pirellis very slippery (did a highsider).

Enjoyed it, but will appreciate TKC-80 tires, adjustable suspension.

The ground clearance I will have to live with.

I saw more than couple of "tip-overs" - but nothing that I would call a high-side!

Well done...
