WTF: El Solitario just built two super-practical dirt bikes



Why" Well, according to El Sol’s blog, motorcycles have no future, and the only way to escape rules and regulations is to venture far off the beaten track. That’s how the manifesto reads. But truthfully, it just means that Borras & co. have discovered the joys of riding dirt bikes.
Their first foray into customizing bikes for off-road was the Desert Wolves project: three Harley-Davidson Sportster Roadsters transformed into sand-eating monsters to tackle the Sahara. This time, los chicos were after something lighter and more nimble; something suitable for overnight jaunts into the woods.

The KTM 350 EXC-F is a highly capable machine out the box, so El Solitario didn’t mess with the brakes, wheels, suspension or engine. But they did fit new Rekluse Radius CX automatic clutches, along with left hand rear brake levers. It’s a nifty piece of kit: with the clutch’s anti-stalling tech, you can keep your hand off the clutch lever. That leaves it free to grab the brake when your right foot’s tied up stabilizing the bike through rough terrain.
