Fantastic! I'll quit bragging about riding at 30F and buy some better gear!

Jetting: 180/40

Tires: Mitas C-17 front 300 studs, Michelin 110/100 AC 10 with 278 studds rear. I prefer Mitas/Trelleborg tyres bacause they last longer.

I use Acerbis X-tight boots. Sole is leveled, shaped and covered with slippery and lasting plastic/rubber material.

Heated grips are useful when temperature is below 23 F

I also use kind of sacs in handlebars as you may see in some photo. They are better than big handguards. Real fast riders don't use them, but my fingers are so sensitive that I use them allways under 23 F temperatures.

Sport longjohns and long-sleeved shirt under enduro gear is nice too when weather is kind of chilly...


There is helmetcam from stage 1 that event. It's not me or not Gasser, but to get the idea of winter enduro in Finland....

Very cool! I'd like to do that but it would have to snow an abnormal amount to cover the rocks here, otherwise your expensive tires would get trashed.

Ya !!! Great Vid.
I'd like to see some of the aftermath tires once the race is over. Must be pretty hard on the back ones.
Thx for sharing.
