Australian Adventure Bike

Our goal in ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BIKE AUSTRALIA is to appreciate everyone that’s having a crack — big or small — and enjoying whatever it is that’s an adventure to you. Hopefully, along the way we can steer you in the right direction (pun kinda intended) and bring to the fore just how much fun and how liberating adventure riding is. The adventure bike scene is one of the most vibrant across the globe and nowhere is it more relevant than in this vast sunburnt country. We were built by adventurers and the need to explore is in our blood. There’s never been a better time to do it on a motorcycle with an amazing array of machines and gear available for all. And now they’re finding freedom once again on bikes that take them back in bush and well beyond, in a less aggressive environment. Now is the time to reach those riders. Readers will be treated to the highest quality photography and journalism with bike tests and bucketlist rides leading the features. Each issue will also have dedicated ride tutorials and handy on track how to’s and will be chockas full of gear and accessories that we know this audience loves.

SPEED READING: THE MOMENT COLLECTORS ASIA

DANIEL THE GREAT? • Five years down the track, Aussie off-road racer Daniel Sanders has finally dominated the world’s ultimate off-road race, the Dakar Rally, just like he always dreamed of. For 14 days and over 7000 kays, the world was in the presence of rally greatness.

CHASING DAKAR • After spending a big slice of his lifetime chasing Grand Prix road race bikes around the world as a pro photographer, our old mate Lou Martin figured the time was right to get a little sand between his toes and see what all the fuss is about with the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia.

HIGH COUNTRY HIJINKS • There’s good reason why the Victorian High Country is a mecca for solo ADV riders and adventure trail riding groups alike. It offers everything you could want in an adventure ride — and more!

THURSDAY MOTOS • For a couple of former pro MX racers now in their 60s, Stephen Gall and Mal Dalton show no signs of slowing down, be it on their adventure bikes, their mountain bikes or their motocross bikes.

A FINE VINTAGE • When the mighty Jerkyls decided to tackle the famed 20 Creeks Ride to Nundle on 40-year-old ‘vinventure’ bikes, the only question to be answered was, what could possibly go wrong?

GREAT LAKES • Few countries on this planet can rival the superb beauty and grandeur of Norway. Soaring mountain peaks, high passes, glaciers, rivers, lakes, tunnels, ferries, meticulously maintained winding roads and stupendously stunning fjords make this country an absolute Mecca for motorcycle riders.

BUDDY UP! • What happens when two old schoolboy mates catch up decades later and decide to go adventure riding? But then bushfires, floods and COVID-19 intervene? Turns out they scored a couple of rides to remember!

COOL RUNNING • When you constantly reach for the keys of one bike from your fleet, it tells you that bike makes for a feel-good ride every time. Which is precisely why we’re about to punch through the 10,000km mark on our CFMOTO 450MT long-termer.

ROYAL RUSH • There’s no denying Royal Enfield has kicked a big goal with the...
