Your adventure bike is finally set up properly. Excellent. Now let's not ruin it by carrying half the workshop. Here's how to decide what actually deserves a place on the motorcycle.

Compression. Rebound. Clickers. Packing. Suspension adjustment sounds complicated until you understand what each control actually does. So let’s deliberately get it very, very wrong first.

Sometimes you don't need more horsepower. You need different gearing. Here's how changing two relatively inexpensive sprockets can transform crawling ability, acceleration, engine braking and motorway cruising.

Most riders will happily spend hundreds modifying an adventure bike without ever setting the sag. Here’s a simple piece-of-string method to set front and rear rider sag properly — and make future adjustments take moments.

A ticket to ABR 2027 somehow turned into a 5,000 km motorcycle adventure across Europe. The plan: 2,300 km of ACT, two sets of tyres, no motorways, a CFMoto 1000MTX and just enough planning to reach Ragley Hall on time.

How difficult is adventure riding in Cyprus? It depends on the rider, the bike, the direction and, surprisingly often, the season. Here’s what the trails are really like — and the best time to come and ride them.

Thinking of bringing your own adventure bike to Cyprus? Here’s what to know about the distance, ferry, timing, tyres, costs and terrain — plus 2,100 km of free HATs waiting when you arrive.

What does six days of self-guided adventure riding in Cyprus actually look like? A comfortable base, a properly prepared bike, more than 2,100 km of trails — and absolutely nobody telling you where you have to ride tomorrow.

Adventure riders spend years getting their bikes “just so”. So why should a rental bike be factory standard? From suspension, tyres and gearing to protection, navigation and tools, here’s how we prepare Horizon Rider bikes specifically for the Cyprus trails.

I’d already mapped more than 1,200 km of Cyprus trails before HATs existed. Years of exploring, dead ends, locked gates, river crossings, broken ribs and a lot more riding later, that became a curated network of more than 2,100 km. This is how I built it — and why I’m giving it away free.

Cyprus probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of adventure riding. It should be. From fast mountain tracks and pine forests to river crossings, rocky climbs and the Mediterranean coast, I’ve spent years exploring the island — including building the Cyprus TET — and kept roughly 2,100 km of the very best riding. Here’s why I think ADV riders have been overlooking it.
