It's been a while, many many while since I rode this trail. I thought it was gone for good but here I am trying to find out whether they are still there or not, whether the trail as hard as it was before during the time I rode it with a bunch of friends using my Kawasaki KLX150.
Nuzul and his Aveta Ranger Max 130, a really good Chinese bike, same concept as Yamaha PG1 or a Honda CT125. This bike seemingly built for the same purposes but I can see that this Ranger Max is performing really well on this trail.
Personally I think this is a very good cross cub. People argue on the brand & where it was originally made from but when I see it in front of me, witnessing how it perfoms, how smooth the engine is I would highly recommend this bike to everyone looking for a complete budget cross cub, no doubt about that. To be honest I was about to buy one of this but the PG1 comes out so I decided to get the PG1 even though it was a bit expensive.
My pride of course, my 2023 Yamaha PG1, been riding this since November 2024 & it never disappoint me the wa a bike can disappoint a rider. Some of the strong points are like cheap & super easy maintenance, availabilities of parts & ease of use 247.
The team is ready to rumble in the jungle! 5 of us today, Tzy, uncle Ali, Michael, Nuzul, the klx guy & me. The weather is good!
Nuzul getting ready!
First challenge, the river! Best thing about river in the jungle is they are clean & clear.
Slippery down hill section.
This is Michael, a friend of Tzy and Uncle Ali, he was a bit nervous that day and it really shows. He had some good falls but still managed on controlling his fears and especially on controlling his PG1. He keeps asking me to move first but I said to him that I'll stanby at the back if there's anything happen to him in front so I can help him.
Should be no problem for a well prepared KLX150!
Uncle Ali in action!
Nuzul rider of the day!
Tricky section for Michael, lot of loose rocks & it was uphill too making it more challenging especially in handling the bike.
Teamwork is something we really need in this kind of riding!
Again no problem for a well equipped Kawasaki KLX!
I love this section, a very demanding part especially on handling & throttle control!
Michael is being rescued again.
Up we goooooo!
Another climbing section!
Nuzul showing how it's done!
Michael passed this time!
This is where the ascending started to get more & more challenging for everyone but our machines were up to it.
Uncle Ali showing how a veteran doing it with a smile & happiness!
Tricky section that need more energy from everyone, more climbing & more fun!
Nuzul can't wait so he did the amazing obstacles jumping stunts!
This time Aveta is the champion!
This is the way to Rayu as we started descending from this part.
The klx guy is having problems with his balance & fell at the same spot a few times right to left to right to left! I suspected due to fatigue.
Finally!
Downhill & more downhills!
Michael struggling!
And there he goes!
Uncle got himself a bit off the track but managed soon after.
One of my favorite section!
Now we are in Rayu area, this is after we tookna good break at the waterfall area.
When Uncle Ali says it's good, it is supposed to be good!
Now that's a wrap! I will definitely ride this trail again from Segong to Rayu. I miss this trail so much & I'm really glad I joined this ride this time.
