Practical info
Your bike
You ride your own bike. It needs to be mechanically inspected before you travel and fitted with at least 50/50 tyres. The full bike requirements are on each tour's page.
What to bring
The aim is to keep weight to a minimum — a lighter bike is easier to pick up and recover on technical terrain. This packing list video walks through exactly what to bring.
Riding gear
- Offroad boots. Motocross or enduro boots are preferred, for your own safety
- Full body armour: upper-body armour and enduro-style knee pads
- Helmet
- Goggles for the dust
- Gloves
- A jacket that allows some movement
- A hydration pack is highly advised
Tools and spares
- Tools to fix your own flats: tyre levers and spare tubes if you run tubes, or a tubeless repair kit and an air compressor
- The tools your motorcycle needs to fix small problems
Documents
- Motorcycle documents
- International insurance card
- ID and your usual travel documents
- Driver's licence

If the weather turns bad
