adventure riding

Dual-sport motorcycle touring

Adventure riding is motorcycling on mixed terrain—pavement, gravel, dirt, and rougher off-road surfaces—typically on dual-sport or adventure bikes designed for versatility.

The term encompasses both the style of riding and the culture around it, which emphasizes exploration and self-sufficiency over speed or technical skill: We spent two weeks adventure riding through Patagonia.

Riders often carry camping gear for extended trips into remote areas.
