She ain't quick, with the offroad gearing & ATV tire, but she'll pull a 2 story house UP a 3 story house! 😁
Definitely more rock crawler than motocross bike, but she'll get you there.

On two wheels, that usually just means you're spinning your tire or flipping the bike over backward. On the mountain, there often isn't an option crawl up technical terrain. You have to get some momentum, stand up on the pegs, and give it throttle. If you slow down and try to crawl, you're in trouble.

There is a time to get on the pegs and let it eat. 99% of the guys in these threads have never been in that situation. They are hunting first and riding 2nd. Bike suggestions show this

Its hard for me to wrap my head around it. But a lot of guys are going to sit on the seat and put put their way in and it works for em. More power to em I guess.

Also if your bike is coming over on you, you might want to freshen up those clutch skills
 
Thankfully, I have the experience to be able to do both, and determine when each particular approach is needed.
The TeeDub is still capable of the 2nd-gear-balls-out-hillclimb. Maybe not as capable as a CR250 but these days, if that's what it takes to get there, I'm walking anyway! 😆
 
I HATED my tw200. I kept my xt225 and tripped the tw. If you have ever been remotely fast on a dirt bike you will probably hate the tw. The seat is too low, the bars are too low the whole thing is wider than a polaris indy wedge. There's never been a bike that pushes a corner more and the brakes suck.....and if you ever hit a square edged anything you will send that front wheel to the handlebars almost instantly.

They are cool to look at but abysmal to ride.

I'm that old, slow hunter that rides a KLX 140. Please don't be offended with the question, but what in the world is the application for that tire? Spring bear hunting in the Sawtooths above snowline? I've just never seen a motorcycle tire with studs.

They just screw in

Theres a lot of red clay over here. Running studs will getcha a couple extra months of riding come the wet season. Clay, roots, trees, ice, etc...its goona hook.

Then we got lazy and left them in year round. Front tires last longer, and once you get some faith in them and trust the traction to be there. You can get a lot more aggressive with the front brake, and where you place that front tire. Theres no going back once you get used to it:cool:

The rears are a love/hate dealio. Studded full up..amazing traction, you can really do some stupid shit. But the bikes on rails and doesnt like to slide around. I'll run them if we do a snow/mud run. But get into a big loose rock hill climb and you'll start to roll them out. Pretty much just stick with studs in the front these days.

In the snot & rocks, 12 maybe 14mph. Enough to be interesting.

Before I lowered the gearing & fitted the trailer wheel I got myself in a bit of a pickle in Wyoming. I ended up climbing a trail (1st gear, throttle pegged) that I really had no business going up, but it was steep enough that stopping & turning round was impossible. You know the type.... getting down the same trail was guaranteed broken bones (I used to ride technical trials & I would've 3'd it on my Gas Gas!) so I ended up bushwhacking the bike 2 miles back to the road, over deadfall. That kinda put a full stop right after where my 'common sense' limit ends 🤣
 
I havent seen a hill a guy couldnt go down. Though some can be sketchy, and cookin your brakes on one gets sporty :ROFLMAO:

I imagine things look a bit different on the tw though. I know I've dropped into things while on my 150 that werent nothin on a 250/300. But on that lil bike it turns into a situation.

The rake angle sux on a tw. Add a touch to the front brake and it actually gets even worse.
