The Double Take mirrors from https://www.doubletakemirror.com are very popular with dual purpose and adventure riders here in Australia. I've been using the enduro version on my DR650 as we often get into some gnarly terrain. These Doubletake mirrors are almost indestructible and can be easily folded away when you get into some serious offroad work. And the RAM mounts mean they just move when they hit an obstacle instead of breaking. One of the guys has a KTM 950 and got a pair of the adventure style mirrors from Doubletake, as the more compact style means they are more stable at highway speed. They still can be folded away but are designed for riders doing more road and adventure riding than gnarly offroad riding. On many adventure bikes, breaking a mirror can also mean needing new master cylinders for your clutch or front brake, so these mirrors can pay for themselves very quickly because they fold instead of snapping their mounts. Doubletake said they wanted to develop an indestructible mirror that could be folded away and also provide good visibility to the rear and the adventure model hits the nail on the head in all three respects. Plus, there's a lifetime warranty although this doesn't apply to the glass. I had the longest arms on my enduro mirrors so there was some vibration at certain revs, but the extra stability with the adventure version provides a very clear reflection at all times. The Doubletake mirrors are expensive, but if you transfer these from bike to bike then they can be viewed more as a long term investment that should last you decades. After two years of exhaustive testing the Double Take Mirrors get the thumbs up from us for adventure riding or dirt riding. We haven't been able to break or bend them in thousands of miles in all sorts of terrain and stacks. Expensive but highly recommended! Great for use on the DRZ400 or DR650 for replacing those very heavy stock mirrors. We like to get off the beaten track on our adventure rides but the unfortunate downside was breaking mirrors on a pretty regular basis. I'd seen the Double Take mirrors before but regarded them as out of my price range... but eventually I broke enough mirrors to know it was worthwhile getting a set, If they were indestructible as claimed. Apart from being almost unbreakable the other handy thing was being able to fold them out of the way within seconds, even when riding. The Double Take mirrors use the well-known RAM mounts - very strong but flexible, and depending on whether I'm commuting on the highway or riding single track I can pick the best position easily without even having to stop. The Double Take mirror arms are available in three lengths, I've got the longest due to my height. They do vibrate a bit and this may be because I got the longest parts but the image is still relatively clear and very usable. At first I did find the mirrors would move slowly in at highway speeds but they seem to settle in after a month or so and stay put the last few years. Are Double Take mirrors unbreakable? Well they'd have to believe the most unbreakable on the market, I've had some pretty major hits, the only issue was in one the alloy thread stripped where it screws into the handlebar mount but Double Take kindly sent me at a new one free of charge. My thoughts? These are worth the money for adventure riding or dirt riding and you can just buy two extra ball mounts and swap them between your bikes. And Double Take mirrors are a good long-term investment as you can just put them on the new bike when you sell the old one. • Cross Training Youtube channel: / @crosstrainingenduro • Cross Training Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cross.traini... • Our enduro vlog series: • All our enduro rides!︱Cross Training ... • Cross Training website: http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com • Like to support our vids? http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com/cr...
