Everide blocked me from his channel for this 'hater' comment ... or one like it.

The guy just likes his echo chamber. And if you don't tell him he's awesome, he blocks you.

Your review may be honest, but it is incomplete. It's fair to review any bike stock. But it's also fair to give your bike the best chance of success. With a few free or inexpensive mods, it would perform much better both on and off road.

None of the bikes you compare the RX3 to are perfect out of the box. Each benefits from upgrades, both simple and complex, both cheap and inexpensive.

To complete your review fairly, I would recommend the same kind of upgrades you have given other bikes you have tested off-road, to be reviewed by a team of dual sport riders.

* A $13 front sprocket (13T) to widen the power band on and off road.
* 19" front to improve performance off-road and help correct the speedometer.
* Better tires to improve off-road traction.
* Remove the side cases and bars to save weight and improve agility.

It will not transform into the ultimate adventure bike, but will much better reflect what a real rider will do in the real world.
