Adventure Bikes

Monarc’s rugged, long-range ebike, dubbed the Marker, comes with swappable batteries, fat tires, smart features, a proprietary suspension fork, and a powerful motor. It’s built to handle city rides and off‑road wanderlust.

The triple-battery trekking ebike I took for a test ride last year is being joined by a similar-but-different new model. The Nomads Pro is still aimed at riders who want to go beyond city limits but swaps rear-hub PAS for a tasty mid-drive motor.

The Atlas represents Norton's first serious attempt at entering one of motorcycling's most fiercely contested segments, and perhaps its clearest statement yet about where the reborn British marque is headed under TVS ownership.

It seems like the race for smart helmets is heating up, and when we’re talking of “smart helmets,” the likes of Sena and Cardo are right up there with others. Now, Sena has just launched its latest adventure lid to up the ante.

Built for fast, remote motorized adventure that can go wrong in a hurry, the Dragan Pocket Winch aims to be the lightest come-along out there. It fractionalizes weight while still multiplying muscle enough to move up to 2,000 lb of stuck bike.

Aotos' Flux X26 cyberpunk-tinged "hybrid" ebike has built on the buzz it generated at CES, raising over US$2.8 million in crowdfunding in a month. The company will begin shipping the specially priced standard and Pro models across the globe in May.

Ducati's given its beloved DesertX adventure motorcycle a major overhaul, with a view to enhance off-road performance. There are both thoughtful updates and possibly controversial trade-offs for fans of the outgoing model.

You may have forgotten that the once Italian moto brand Morbidelli was still around. Well, it is, and under QJMotor’s Chinese leadership, it has been on an upswing of sorts. Now, it looks like it's headed to America… with two exciting adventure bikes.

Kawasaki's Stockman is a purpose-built enduro motorcycle for use in agriculture and livestock farming. A special feature of the bike is its locking mechanism for the clutch lever, which allows the farmer to take their left hand off the handlebars.

LAND Moto, an all-American moto startup, has churned out a beautiful adventure bike based on a new drivetrain. But for a retail price of $11,200, it is far more expensive than the usual e-motos most under-18 buyers seem to be riding around on.

It looks like KTM will lead the way for the biggest displacement ADV with the 2026 1390 Super Adventure R, which bumps from 1,300cc in the previous iteration to 1,350cc now. But is that necessarily a good thing? How much power does one really need?

Phelon & Moore made its comeback in the two-wheeled scene only recently. It looks like the brand isn't resting on its laurels, coming up with an adventure scooter in a span of mere months since its revival. And it's coming for Yamaha and Honda.
