Off-road

The Trailpod camping trailer flips the calendar back to a simpler time when the off-road teardrop was a small, ageless and affordable gateway to global adventure. But it's more than meets the eye, concealing a modern, zero-wood build.

Why do ebikes have to be grossly expensive and inaccessible? That seems to be the exact question the folks at Heybike asked. The answer comes in the form of Villain – a compact e-dirt bike priced at just $1,399 that delivers serious performance.

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog always makes an impression. That becomes even truer when the stout-jawed U418 variant shows up painted in Rover green carrying what appears to be a truck-sized beer barrel or treasure chest below a rooftop tent.

If you're gonna go off-roading in the desert, you better have a ride that's purpose-built to survive that sorta terrain. That's certainly not what Genesis is traditionally known for, but it's thrown its dusty hat in the ring with a wild new concept.

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.

The PHEV powertrain is a natural solution for motorhomes, but it could be an equally viable solution for trailers. Evotrex makes that case with the PG5 travel trailer, a livable power plant that develops its own electricity for camp life and travel.

You know you have a proper enduro on your hands when it has Graham Jarvis’ credentials behind it. That’s the Jarv-E project, and it isn’t just another ambitious electric motorcycle; it’s a proper hard-enduro bike designed for technical trail riding.

Weighing less than most rooftop tents and taking up far less space than a camper, the Camp Tonneau Tent is always at the ready for truck camping but stows completely out of the way for unencumbered everyday commuting and cargo hauling.

From self-driving smart trailers to on- and off-road explorers that bulge out in every direction to maximize living space, some truly jaw-dropping and inspiring camper vans, travel trailers, large motorhomes and expedition trucks emerged in 2025.
