​@@lazarpeuraca9618 If the dirt is very loose with only little grip, then pulling in the clutch is a valid maneuver. If the surface is somewhat grippy and with the significant weight of the Africa Twin this would likely end in a highsider, with the rear wheel being able to get traction on the lateral axis. If you keep on the throttle (or in the best case, slowly reduce your throttle input) you use up some of the available grip of the tire for that and keep the tire from gripping too hard and ending in a highsider.

This bike's weight balance and ergos are crap, fuel tank is too high and you sit too far away from the bars. I drove one in sand and single track and hated it. KTM has a better package for this sort of bike, but I know, I know they are unreliable.

Scientific based answer is the correct answer

Lmao your mates reaction. Nice save bro.

If the rear wheel slips there's hope. If the front wheel slips is game over. That being said that was quite an extreme slippage in a quite heavy bike. That save took every ounce of skill to pull off. Great job.

Rear slips usually recoverable, especially if the suspension is good and soft. Front.? Pray for a soft touchdown. :D

Phenomenal reaction, perfectly matched the bike's weight transfer without fighting it.

its bros first liter bike i see

I love seeing this bike ridden as its supposed to be, not these old people touring on them and calling a road like this "hard off road"

bro you made me love this bike, clean save, earned a sub

Having friends like that is the best. After narrowly escaping something like this, hearing them tell u how stupid AND awesome you are the same time makes it 500% better.

The engine breaking on the Africa twin can be pretty extreme depending on the settings, you can literally ride down a mountain without using your breaks. My guess is that he rolled on the power and the back end slid out so he rolled off the throttle and with heavy engine breaking it was the equivalent of him using the rear break and doing a skid. This has almost happened to me before. If ever you ride on dirt you want the engine breaking turning down.

Me verbally: I meant to do that Me internally: 🕺💨💩

dang you kept those bars straight ahead. legend

Hi, may I use this on our channel? It'll be credited and linked back

Maybe turn that traction control back on lol

Sometimes when we fall is because we panic and almost throw ourselves down the ground, lots of times you can save it (like this guy did), by just keeping the front wheel on track, the rear wheel can go wherever it wants as long as the front is on track.

Hi friend, may I feature part of this video in a compilation of mine? I will fully credit you of course!

As someone who is learning to ride on dirt, that is simply amazing reflex and skill at work. Nice save!

10/10 save If you didn't let off it might've gone better, but either way you don't get highsided into a ditch so it's a win - your buddy had the same reaction as I did lol

I saw this bike for the first time in the heart of Brooklyn,NY. It was parked with a light layer of dust and scratches lightly rested on the panels from weaving through traffic. Magnificent, sadly it surely doesn’t off-road like this. 😢

rly good save, props for not overreacting with the bike inputs and staying calm, shows that youre a high experienced rider, good job.

That is what bike was built for.

Was one of your tires low on pressure or flat? Same thing happened to me once

amazing controll bro!

Ive hung my bike(s) a couple times like that in the grass with radials. One time it full turn locked left and right and it straitened back up. The other time the ass came straight around in slow motion and low sided to a soft slide. I would rather go down off road than on any day.

nice save...you really broke the rear loose then stayed in the throttle somehow...maybe leave traction control on.

I would just give full throtle after that hahaha, nice save
