Just completed my first long trip on the Transalp - 801 km total (in 3 days) with a 3hr 55min mountain section covering 111 km continuously without taking break.

Coming from a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411, I'm absolutely loving this bike. However, I struggled with confidence on one particularly steep section with lots of loose gravel.

How do I build more off-road confidence without dropping the bike? I have insurance but would obviously prefer to avoid damage.

Also curious what mileage others are getting in similar conditions.

Added some photos from the trip. Loving the Transalp so far.

Any tips appreciated.
