This was made on small segments of the Hell's Revenge 4x4 trail in the Moab area NOT on the MTB Slickrock bikes only trail in the same area. The 2 trails criss/cross at points but this was not made on the bikes only trail as the video explanation stated. Very poor video actually showing little of the 4x4 trail and especially little of the steep climbs. Any old bike can go DOWN the slickrock fast but try going up the steep hills and ledges which was only shown a little. The bike did poorly and slowly on the tiny bit of uphill shown. The Escalator and one of the Hot Tubs shown are both optional obstacles off to the side of the main Hell's Revenge trail. I'd like to have seen the bike try and climb steep Hell's Gate which is another optional obstacle on Hell's Revenge. Very poor video. Totally fictional representation of actual 4 wheeling. Very few people own an expensive overbuilt 4x4 buggy like the one featured. Try this 4x4 trail in much less than the hellacious buggy shown and it becomes more challenging especially the more stock you are. To each his own but this video was pure ridiculous one sided propaganda. In other words pure BS.
