BUILD PHILOSOPHY

The ULTRA-LITE ADV Bike is mostly a myth because there is no adventure bike that rides like an enduro.

When we set out to build this bike we took a different approach. One bike with two distinct modes. Core Enduro and Ultra-Lite ADV.

Within about 30 minutes you can swap between the best of both worlds. You can have a bike for hard core single track and quickly have a bike ready to carry your camping gear for long distances.

This way you can have one machine that can truly do it all!

The CORE ENDURO SETUP has most of the upgrades

And the ULTRA-LITE ADV SETUP only needs the windscreen, bags and fuel tank swapped... and yes we made it easy!

CORE ENDURO UPGRADES

CORE ENDURO MODE

TOTAL UPGRADES: $3,375

We added A TON of upgrades to the base of this bike to make it a one of a kind powerhouse of a dual-sport!

Everything listed here is essentially the base for the Ultra-Lite setup listed below.

ENGINE UPGRADES

TACO MOTO ECU REFLASH: This alone added 20 hp to this bike taking it from 39hp to the wheel to hovering around 60hp. PRODUCT LINK

GRAVES SLIP ON EXHAUST: The stock exhaust on these bikes is extremely restrictive and the Graves Slip on let's this bike breathe and sound like it's a real four stroke! Braaaaaap PRODUCT LINK

DUAL SPORT UPGRADES

TACO MOTO TIDY TAIL KIT: This kit let's you remove the giant license plate assembly and rear blinkers. Now your brake light, turn signals and license plate light is all combined into a single tail light. The front blinkers are replaced with flexible LED versions and you can now turn your headlight off while the bike is running! Product Link

MOTO MINDED DASH: The Moto Minded dash gives you a steel dash to mount your key, a 12v outlet and other accessory switches. Product Link

MOTO MINDED FLEX PLATE: This license plate holder mounts via a flex mount making it more impact resistant on the trail. Product Link

DOUBLE TAKE FOLDING MIRRORS: The stock mirrors are terrible but these mirrors give you a premium foldable mirror that is still stiff enough to actually use on the road. Product Link

MASTER CYLINDER RELOCATION BRACKET: Relocates the base for the mirror to stop interference with the master cylinder. Product Link

MOTO MINDED STOUT MOUNT: Gives you a solid bar mounted solution for mounting any GPS or phone mounting solution. Product Link

QUAD LOCK PHONE MOUNT: This is one of our favorite phone mounting and we mounted this right to the Stout Mount. Product(s)

UPGRADED TIRES: We added our favorite DOT legal knobbies that are softer than stock and actually hook up offroad but still give stability on the road. The Tusk D-Sport tires. Product Link

PROTECTION & CONTROLS

MOTION TITANIUM PEGS: Brand new product from Motion Pegs! Full Titanium pegs built for top of the line bikes! Ready for pre-order Product(s)

TUSK HANDGUARDS: A full wrap around handguard with replaceable plastics. Product Link

ENDURO ENGINEERING SKID PLATE: Top of the line fully welded aluminum skid plate that fully protects your water pump and stator. Plus we got the linkage guard! Product Link

ENDURO ENGINEERING DISK GUARD: Machined aluminum guard to protect your rear brake disk from smacking the rocks! Product Link

COOL FACTOR

TACO MOTO CUSTOM GRAPHICS KIT: This without a doubt adds at least 5hp. (Sarcasm) Product Link

ULTRA-LITE ADV UPGRADES

ULTRA-LITE ADV UPGRADES

TOTAL UPGRADES: $1,574

The Ultra-Lite Mode builds on the Core Enduro Mode and can be quickly converted for the best of both worlds in one bike!

The ULTRA-LITE gives this bike...

  • Over two times the fuel range
  • Highway comfort and aerodynamics
  • Plenty of Luggage Capacity

UPGRADES

IMS 4.5 GALLON FUEL TANK: The stock 2.1 gallon tank is swapped for the 4.5 gallon tank from IMS which over doubles your fuel range! Product Link

TACO MOTO DOUBLE SNORKEL FUEL PUMP: With such a large tank your factory fuel pump can't reach all the fuel in the bottom wings of your tank. The Taco Moto pump reaches all the way to the bottom of your tank to make sure you can use all the fuel without having to lean your bike over. It's a match made in heaven!

This pump stays with the IMS tank drastically lessening the workload when swapping between tanks Product Link

PLASTICS & GRAPHICS KIT: We included plastics that are dedicated to the IMS tank and do not need to be removed. This lessons the workload to swap tanks. Product Link

TUSK REMOVABLE WINDSCREEN: Adding a windscreen makes longer highway stretches so much more comfortable and much more aerodynamic increasing fuel economy. The winscreen can be removed in under 30 seconds by loosening two set screws making it easy to remove. Product Link

TUSK EXCURSION RACKLESS BAGS: This setup lets you carry all the gear you need for camping or longer trips without the need to install a rear luggage rack.

The bags are water resistant but also include dry bags to keep your gear, clothes and food nice and dry. The bags can be added or removed in minutes! Product Link

TUSK FENDER BAG: This bag is here to hold your tools, tire irons, tubes and medical supplies. Added or removed in minutes! Product Link
