Will anyone else be disappointed if their Grom ever rides on 2 wheels?! Seems like every advertisement has them doing wheelies or stoppies!

 

[wlorton]

Lol

 

[CBRocky]

Yes. Clutch up wheelies are fun.

 

[konajesse]

Wheelies are fun, but cover that rear brake!

 

[GregW]

Yes. I'm buying a Grom to wheelie around town... But that how I ride anyway. Lol

 

[chye]

You mean there is another way to ride?!






just kidding.

I enjoy zipping around on 2 wheels as much as I like occasionally popping that wheelie

 

[MOPED]

Someone needs to post a wheelie instructional video once they get their Grom. Any takers?

 

[GregW]

Not responsible ...

ABOUT WHEELIES...

There seems to be a lot of concern about the Grom's ability to wheelie. Is it a bike that naturally wants to bring the front wheel into the air? No. Neither is a bicycle, my son's CRF70, or my zero turn mower, but I wheelie those things a lot. Wheelies are about technique, and the Grom should be a stupid easy bike to wheelie.

That said, it's one of those things people either have the knack for, or they don't. It's very much a feel thing, and very hard to verbalize how to do. One of the greatest "how to videos" of all time is by the late Samurai Jim. Here's on a DRZ400sm in the video, but for those who haven't ridden one, it's a bike that doesn't want to bring the front tire up easily either, though you'd never know that from his great video. All the same principals apply to the Grom. Enjoy.

I like how at the beginning of the video it says this was performed on a closed course ...

 

[GregW]

I like my XR70

My Z50 is fun too

My CRF50 is easy to wheelie

 

[Bama Dave]

wheelie in to stoppies!

 

[Problomatic]

I was wondering how these things would handle a stoppie....

 

[chye]

There are a few vids of guys in Thailand doing a few stoppies in their MSX. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. Brakes seem to be pretty good.

 

[speedydave]

I hope it can wheelie!

 

[S10rider]

I think it will be a blast to wheelie. And maybe easy for people to learn on since it will not have neck snapping power!

 

[GregW]

I can't wait to try!!

 

[pilothaz]

I can't wait to try!!

This guy is able to pop it up fairly easily, which is a good sign. I don't think he knows how to hold it though.

Don't care about wheelies and stoppies (I have a KTM SuperDuke for that) I care that it will have loads more power than my Ruckus...
