A Full Frame Out
In Less Than 48 Hours
Giving our 400 hour bike a new life OVERHAUL One year of chasing professional hard enduro racers, smashing through technical terrain, and hauling camera gear to film our Burros episodes had taken its tole on the Burros Edition bike. With the Moab Hard Enduro only 48 hours away, Madjack Racing, JP and I stripped the bike down to the frame and rebuilt it from the ground up. What we're up to 02. Full teardown to the frame. 03. 04. Inspection, greasing and engine overhaul. Parts reinstall and go racing.

starting from the ground up teardown At just over 400 engine hours, there was no point pretending this was a quick refresh. The only way to know the bike was fully ready for battle again was to take it completely apart down to the frame, inspect everything and rebuild it correctly from the ground up Madjack style. No compromises. The only way we roll 02. Full teardown to the frame. 03. 04. Inspection, greasing and engine overhaul. Parts reinstall and go racing.

we're going all the way or not at all INSPECTION Every bolt, bearing, wire, hose, hard part and wear item was inspected with one objective: catch the failure during this prep stage before it became a DNF at the Moab Hard Enduro or a failure when out filming with the pros. We found lots of obvious offenders on the bike, but also some potential future issues that we wanted to prevent. EYES ON EVERYTHING 02. Full teardown to the frame. 03. 04.

thanks to all the brands that built this beast REASSEMBLY With time running out before our deadline we had to keep the foot on the gas pedal, so straight into reassembly. As with all our bike builds everything we install on the bike is fully focused on maximum functionality, durability and reliability. When it comes to setting up a hard enduro bike to perform at the level we need it, there can't be compromises. REASSEMBLED IN 48 HOURS 02. Full teardown to the frame. 03. 04.

The brands involved
to give this bike more life.

  • Massive thanks to our Burros sponsors who design, and manufacture the best parts for building out a highly capable hard enduro machine. With the type of gnarly terrain we race and ride, we can’t have any weak links. We couldn’t do it without any of these brands.
top notch

the nation's premiere ktm, husky, gas-gas shop.

Bulletproof Designs

Precision machined hard parts protection, stronger wheels and custom engraved Burros Edition clutch cover. Did we mention... a lifetime warranty?

Crosslinked Components

Gotta protect the swingarms from all that hard enduro punishment. These are the real deal and the fork guards are a nice insurance policy as well.

Slavens Racing

We can't say enough about the technical knowledge and speed at which Slavens worked to help us source last minute parts we needed to get this build done on time.

FMF EXHAUST

One of the most iconic American motorcycle parts brands, FMF delivers a quality, durability and performance focused exhaust system that is a must have on all our builds.

IRC Tires

Solid traction coming from a brand that lives and breathes American hard enduro. We run the JX8 and VE33S rears and VX30F front and are in love. Get some!

Airbox Toolkit

This is probably the most underrated piece of kit on the bike! Nearly every tool you could need all perfectly stashed in a gasket sealed tool storage inside your airbox. Get the weight off your back and ride harder.

SXSlideplate

Handmade slide plates in Washington... what's not to love. These plates are made with thick UHMW so they slide over obstacles and don't hang up or transfer the impact.

Seat Concepts

A hand made in the USA seat that blends nearly waterproof and rip proof durability with customized color combos and much more durable and soft foam than stock.

Mx Graphics

It's honestly hard to find a graphics company that is willing to get in the weeds on designing a very custom, one-of-a-kind kit and we found those guys with MX Graphics. We're stoked.
