This event is open to all brands and models of Adventure Bikes!
The team at RideADV has years of experience in all areas of motorcycling — specialising in Adventure Riding. We were the first to launch Introduction to Adventure Riding Training Rides years ago. Since then we have devised the Intermediate Introduction To Adventure Riding Series.
We love sharing our knowledge and are passionate about growing our sport. With the continued and ongoing support of Yamaha Australia and all our other sponsors, we are proud to present the first Introduction to Adventure Riding Event in the 2026 Series, our newest concept in Adventure Riding.
