Longer lasting usually means less grip, you need good grip - best you can get - it costs. A set of Dunlop Slicks cost over 350 quid and are shagged in 40 miles on the track, yes theres cheaper and longer lasting options but less grip.

Well said mate , 4 hours my a***, 8 more like

A very good description of how I get plenty of grip mate, if you need to get back on the power up a slippy bank "game over" so make sure you have enough at the bottom to get up easy and roll over. When taking off, big big revs and feed the clutch in over first 10 foot or so, dont light the back up, leave the clutch alone as much as you can, and chug up most hills with a steady throttle, dont play about with the revs. The IRC is made for the 4rt and I have 9/43 gearing so allows much less use of the clutch at all times. Really big slippy climbs hold the bugger flat out, full chat and dont reduce the revs, if the front lifts use the clutch to bring it down not the throttle, i've not quite mastered this but it definatley works if you can hang on and keep up with the bike.

Not the best way to explain it, it does grip but you have to learn how it does it, believe me its nothing like a 2 stroke, ride it like that and it won't, too many spat the dummy out on 4rt's after a matter of weeks and did'nt learn how it grips

How many 4rt's though? the Mont doesnt sell because of the price and people not giving them a good go/chance. Availability has also been a problem in the past, I know riders who have pre ordered and waited months for them eventually swapping for another make due to sick of waiting. Most of us do Trials as a hobby, many of us are highly competitive even at clubman level, buy a bike one day thats completely different and you struggle with the extra weight and grip charachteristics and have 2 or 3 poor results you sell it and say its ****e, thats the biggest problem for Mont. I have never known a bike ever that has been given such a slagging, unjustified in my opinion its just not many give the bike a good chance (to impatient for results)

Spot on Jim, I would,nt ride any other bike better and certainly would'nt enjoy as much. To many people bought 4rt's, struggled with the weight and grip and sold them within weeks, you need to be patient with the Mont, I get more grip on mine than any two stroke I've ever owned and can hop about just as well as the rev3. Give the Mont a good go, at least 6months of riding, you will get used to how it grips and how to adapt to the weight. I have heard time and time again the 4rt doesnt grip????????????????????/ yes it does just learn how it does it, its not like a 2 stroke, I,m sure the spikeyone will confirm my Mont grips like a tractor on even the slippiest of climbs And Eddy, you are talking B*****ks again fella, the Beta is no-where near the mont for build quality, I've owned 6 Betas so should know

You aint dabbing enough Gaernes 100% , expensive yes but worth the money

Here you go
