Spare tube or patch kit

Currently building a lightweight tool kit. I Ordered a 21 inch tube and a Rema to good quality patch kit. I usually run from 18-21 psi in my tires. I have Dunlop d606 in rear and MT21 in front.
The tube is pretty bulky. I do about 90% off road riding but haven’t had a flat in 2 years.
Do you guys typically carry a tube with you or is a patch kit good enough with higher psi?

Love these bikes!

Rode street bikes for 9 years with a cbr 600rr then a 1000rr. After having kids and not having a bike for 15 years we got two 300L’s.Having this bike for a little over 2 years and I enjoy it a lot more then the cbr’s. Maybe I’m just getting old😂

Astonished after 2 years with my Honda CRF 300L

Bike never skipped a beat-
I’m starting to get a little more comfortable off road. Before when the back would slide out on turns I would brake and then fall-getting used to giving it more throttle and straightening it out.
It’s not fast or slow,not heavy or light. All around perfect trail bike that can do highway runs when needed! The Acerbis tank is a nice upgrade-I did a little over 60 miles off-road on this trip and my fuel gauge stayed full:)

So I removed the baffle on my rs-12

Video doesn’t do justice,but the sound reminds me of a 660 Yamaha raptor that I had with full exhaust 😂 Sounds cool for a bit but it’s a lot louder then I like so I put it back on. But if anyone likes louder and slight performance boost and weight savings over the rs-4 is then the rs-12 can definitely do it. https://youtube.com/shorts/ybIAQ7Z10rA?si=TzvkWnrDePnVFRVB

For my son’s first bike, I got him a Xpro 150 DLX Storm(he’s 13 years old). It was his first dirtbike, but prior to that he had a Xpro quad that still starts and runs like new and the thing is 7 years old. So for the price, I decided let’s try this dirtbike out well one year later the thing still runs flawlessly and he’s starting to get comfortable off-road. Definitely would recommend this bike for someone that’s starting out and may not want to spend a lot for a name, brand bike. We did use Loctite on all the bolts when setting it up, but overall, I’ve had good experience with this Chinese brand. After all, even KTM is building some of their adventure bikes in China now😂
