Yes it is a bit of a love affair with the Scrambler but that's what you need in a bike. You need that machine to inspire you, motivate you on to ever expanding horizons and keep the blood pumping through your veins.
If your bike doesn't do that for you - change it.
The RnineT Scrambler keep the heart going to well it could put the defibrillator and pace-maker manufacturers out of business.
The entire Heritage series of bikes based on the RnineT are now coming into focus as a solid platform for customising. We've seen some radical builds based on the RnineT and whilst we do fully appreciate with design, work and effort that has gone into these we'll be keeping ours as standard - at least for now.
Like many of you we don't usually leave bikes as stock for long but we haven't seen the need to change anything on the Scrambler either to better performance or to improve its looks.
You'll see many cafe racers on the RnineT platform but the one that has caught our eye the most and really shows the capability of the bike - with a few modifications - is the R9X.
Only a few believed that Gerhard Forster on his Touratech R9X would actually make it to the finish line of the 2017 Red Bull Romaniacs. And yet he did it taking 14th place on a heavy two-cylinder engine.
For this mission in the Carpathian Mountains the Touratech R & D department built the bike on the basis of the R nineT with 18/21 inch wheels and highly solid rims.
Even though the challenges increased with each passing day, the Touratech R9X ploughed steadily through the Romanian wilderness. There aren't many bike bikes that have passed through Romaniacs and survived. When you have one that provided the basis for one of these beasts you know you're onto a good thing!
