The bike ridden was on the limit, kudos to the rider for his control. Imagine loosing control at 80mph in the dirt with those trees close by. That's why riding a dirt bike/scrambler takes more "cojones" than a caged rally car! 😉 Well done to Triumph too, the scrambler 1200 XE is a great bike 👍

"Off road." That track you are on is better maintained than most of the roads where I live.

Look up the weight yourself. Scram is 457lbs dry and Duc is 435lbs.

Insane that Triumph's Scrambler (basically a naked ADV bike) whipped the Nomad. Noticed the scrambler had a proper knobby at the front and a different tire at the rear (looks like a 150?) - either way, would love to see Matt rip on a proper dirt bike!

Can’t you do one with the atom and the rage buggy please?

Choosing the Scrambler is like throwing knobbly tires on a Range Rover and sending it round. That trail looks great for a T700 or a WR450

Nice video, but from my humble opinion it doesn't make much sense to compare a "car" like this that is not approved for road use against a bike that is. The Ariel must not be subjected to any discharge bottleneck with relative approval, mapping of the control unit and gas supply, and the additional weight that it involves etc ... I would have seen more of a comparison with a Husqvarna FC 450 motocross bike or with a KTM 450 SX-F.

I really thought the Nomad would win... that bike is too beautiful to be this fast offroad! That Nomad is awesome too :)

Matt Reed, he can ride!

Yes it's called the Arial Atom and is a bit mental

Pretty obvious the bike will win, but goddamn the Nomad is a cool vehicle.

Something wrong with that bike frame - it's clearly twisted front to rear and very noticeable in some shots.

This is just like that scene from “the man from U.N.C.L.E”

cool vid but I don't think we needed to see the full individual laps.

11:01 that was wonderful

The Nomad could smoke the Scrambler through there, just about any bike I guess. Still, great to see a big dollop of Triumph getting caned on the loose. Fun video. Do it again with a 500 2t. Put the driver on the vintage bike and Matt in the Nomad.

I found it very concerning that you are going around this track without any gear on you and you’re talking to the camera

Nice dirt bike... should bought one 🤔👌🏼

Excuse me - but your “off road” video was all done on a gravel road?

Next: On track pls

Un paramètre à aussi prendre en compte au moment de changer de lessive: Avec Ariel, le slip reste plus propre !!

Entertaining video, but the only thing being compared here is the skill and bravery of rider vs. driver.

the driver in the atom was scared in the race was barely trying..

“There is no winner here”.... yes there is, it’s the one that went the fastest in the race... the bike!!!
