Nice video, but from my humble opinion it doesn't make much sense to compare a -car- like this that is not approved for road use against a bike that is. The Ariel must not be subjected to any discharge bottleneck with relative approval, mapping of the control unit and gas supply, and the additional weight that it involves etc. I would have seen more of a comparison with a Husqvarna FC 450 motocross bike or with a KTM 450 SX-F.

WHY is it. that so MANY car reviewers. go INTO. Quentin Wilson mode. as SOON as. the camera IS. switched ON?
I can't believe they speak that way normally, and I really wish they wouldn't do it on video!
(And I'm not referring to the part where he is driving, just watch the first 22 seconds)

The Triumph is cool and all, but hardly the bike you'd pick for an offroad race. I think something like a Husqvarna 701 or even KTM EXC500, would have been spot on for that setting. Still, fun race, the Ariel is cool, but offroad bikes are so much fun, plus you can take them on single track.

Insane that Triumph's Scrambler (basically a naked ADV bike) whipped the Nomad. Noticed the scrambler had a proper knobby at the front and a different tire at the rear (looks like a 150) - either way, would love to see Matt rip on a proper dirt bike!

The Nomad could smoke the Scrambler through there, just about any bike I guess. Still, great to see a big dollop of Triumph getting caned on the loose. Fun video. Do it again with a 500 2t. Put the driver on the vintage bike and Matt in the Nomad.

Surprised the bike won. Thats a car made for performance vs a bike made for looks. Imagine if they actually used a KTM 500EXC or even a Husqvarna 701. You know, bikes actually made to go fast in those conditions.

4000 miles on my Scram12XE. 3000 of those are on gravel or 2 track roads. Simply the best big do-all bike out there and it doesn't look like something out of a Transformer movie.

Not saying the video is not cool, but the race was rather pointless given one of the drivers does not know the track while the other works there as a mfkin instructor.

Since when gravel road is -off-road-? . When people had no termac roads but only gravel (not so long time ago) they were all going -off-road- on roads back then?

Top gear just did the same race with the same bike/rider but against a Jimni [lol] and the bike lapped in 3min20sec. Almost 10sec faster still.
