You can take a dirt bike and out climb a dune buggy any day. Yeah a dune buggy will climb a lot of stuff but cant keep up with a dirt bike...

Uh no, not quite.
A bike will climb a straight hill, with no curves or cut backs in it better'n a buggy, or jump a high wall better, but if you try to climb a hill that HAS cutbacks, etc. in it, (a real hill) there's no comparison. I've seen bikes at D&K try to climb the extreme buggy hills countlerss times. If it has a turn in it, they're done. Depends on what hill you're on if the bike or buggy will do better.
I aint sure about these hills, i'd say a bike would smoke a buggy on em cause I don't see anybody getting much bite with a buggy in that sandy dirt.
Thank ya.

we got some pro hill climbers from around here that travel all over the united states with there bikes and they can climb almost everything that we do on our buggys,but not everything,and they are top of the line bikes and riders.the local bikes don't even come close.when you get on some of these pipelines that are straight up and down with water breaks cut in them and big rocks and rutted out that are sometimes 1000 to 1500 feet long it takes a helluva bike and rider to do that,and it is usally never on the first try.these hills that they climb are usally prepared and setup for them to climb and they run paddles and chains.if this hill that they climb in this video was wide enough for a buggy to get through that little v- neck spot that they all was wrecking on then yes a buggy would climb it if it was running paddles or a tire set up for that loose soil.i'm not saying every buggy but if a bike climbs it and its wide enough a buggy will climb it to.not just my opinion but have never seen a bike out do us.chad :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol:
You might be right.

I agree, most woods buggies stand little chance of climbin that hill, even if the cut was wide enough.
but NEVER say:

Its easy to be brave when you can jump off the bike and let it go. With a buggy it takes BALLS cuz "IF" you dont make it, you have to ride it out to the bottom. NO JUMPIN OFF OR OUT OF THE WAY. If you wreck your bike you go down the street and buy a new one. Buggy guys usually spend years gettin their rides the way they want them. Aint no BUGGY STORE down the street from me. IDK maybe there is where some of you live.

If I break something I cant fix, I'm done riding till the next trip. Ussually 3-4 weeks. Not to mention a 3 or more hour drive home. Kinda makes the idea of "evil kineveling" it seem a bit of a wasted trip. But still not sure what the limits are yet either.

I was combing through the archives & found these words of wisdom.....

Ive ridden dirtbikes longer than some of you have been alive. Im no expert & I cant even hold a candle to most amateurs. KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!
That yellow rail that I use as my avitar was built 25 years ago. Ive owned it for 20. Some of you only know West Point as an exit sign. That yellow rail was there when it was THE place to ride. 2 of my dirtbikes also rode those grounds.
When I head out to Wellsville, I plan on coming back in one piece. I have done a bit of damage to some of my rails but nothing that ever reqired a complete rebuild. I have seen rails at Wellsville do stuff I wont even consider trying, mostly because I dont want to completely destroy 10K worth of rail if I screw the pooch. There are guys running stock VW engines & car trannies with car CV joints that make me look stupid on the hills. Ive seen buggies built for less than 500 bucks do some amazing things but at the end of the day I want mine still in 1 piece for the next trip out. I may be able to tackle a lot more than I do but at age 43 I remember watching Evil Kenivel not making it during all those jumps (LIVE on TV).

BTW....If that hill ended at the point the bikes begin to lose it, I might give it a shot.
PLAY SMART.....& HAVE FUN.
