ADVENTURE BIKE ROUND UP

The last 12 months has seen a shift in the adventure bike market, from the big bike and middleweight twin mentality to include small capacity 400s. These are the bikes we’ ve tested this last year which have each pushed boundaries in their own way, earning their place in the current ADV market. It’ s a mixed bag of big, small and somewhat quirky machines which cover the whole gamut of the adventure riding spectrum.
