Off-road

Aventon’s Ramblas ADV e-MTB steps firmly into trail territory with a new 750-W mid-drive motor delivering 100 Nm of torque. Launching at $2,899, it bridges the gap between value ebikes and premium mid-drive mountain brands.

The all-new 2026 Goldfields Escape Pod camper brings together a virtually indestructible off-road build with a fully loaded living space that multiplies its footprint upon parking, mellowing hot, unwelcoming terrain into comfortable base camp.

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.

Ducati’s Desmo450 EDS is on the cusp of a global release. It's based on the Desmo450 MX motocrosser, powered by a 450cc single that puts out 63.5 hp and 39.5 lb-ft of torque. Plenty of power for a sub-500cc street-legal enduro!

While Ford's high-rising, hard-sided "winterproof" Nugget High Roof camper van is available to order, it's not available with AWD. Nugget Schmiede fills the gap with a sleek, window-lined high roof planted on a Nugget with all-wheel drive.

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?
