Relive the highlights of ABR Festival 2025

Just a little over a month ago, thousands of excited bikers descended on Ragley Hall to enjoy four glorious days at the ABR Festival 2025.

Regardless of what bike they were on, how long they’d been riding, and whether they’d travelled alone or with friends, everyone was there with one goal in mind – to have the best weekend of their lives among one of the friendliest communities in biking.

Soaking up the warmest vibe and revelling in an incredible atmosphere that’s entirely unique to the ABR, festival goers were treated to unlimited test rides from every major manufacturer in the world, spectacular off-road displays from the most talented riders on the planet, inspirational talks and insightful tips from the biggest names in adventure biking, plus unforgettable performances from the very finest tribute and party bands around.

Given the huge scale of the event and the sheer number of attractions on offer, it would have been impossible to catch everything, which is why we’ve put together a recap to fill you in on anything you might have missed.

Two-wheeled sensations

With Trail Passes selling out in record time, adventure bikers flocked to experience more than 50km of custom on-site off-road trails set within the Ragley Hall estate.

The Beginner’s Loop gave riders the opportunity to get gently warmed up before hitting the 40km Bridgestone Trail. Meandering its way over open grassland, through tight wooded sections, and long gravel tracks, the Bridgestone Trail was the perfect way for riders to experience what big adventure bikes are really made for.

Bikers looking to test themselves further could then tackle the tougher terrain found within the TRF Trail. Eagle-eyed riders on this trail may also have spotted a photographer in-situ at the REV ‘IT! Bog Of Doom, capturing the efforts of those brave enough to take on this legendarily muddy challenge.

You can look back on the carnage that ensued here.

Of course we can’t talk about riding at the ABR Festival without saying a huge thank you to all the manufacturers who turned up with massive smiles and warm welcomes, as well as entire fleets of bikes for our guests to test ride.

A hugely popular part of the festival experience, conducting test rides at the ABR means ticket holders didn’t have to travel hundreds of miles between dealerships to try out all the new bikes on their shortlist. And with every major manufacturer in the world on site, guests were also able to get up close and personal with the bikes they hadn’t considered before.

When it comes to demonstrations, you don’t get more extreme examples of what’s possible when rider and motorbike are in sync than in the GoPro Arena.

And this year’s pro rider line-up really brought their A-game, with the likes of Kevin Gallas, Adam Riemann, James Hillier, Lyndon Poskitt and Jack Challoner wowing the crowds with huge jumps and jaw-dropping tricks.

With so much talent on show it’s impossible to pick out individual highlights, although it was special to see Suzuki’s reborn DR-Z4S in action for the very first time.

Speaking of bikes making their debuts, the ABR Festival was chosen as the location for the first public appearance of both the 2026 KTM 690 Enduro R and Voge DS800X Rally.

These brand new bikes hadn’t been seen anywhere else in the UK, and it was a huge honour for us to host their unveiling.

Bringing down the house

An incredible lineup of musicians delivered once again, with Ben Portsmouth: This Is Elvis bringing a taste of Vegas to Ragley Hall as they kicked off a jam-packed bill of the very best tribute bands on the BikerHeadz Stage.

ABR favourites Let There B/DC delivered a scintillating selection of rock ‘n’ roll classics from Aussie legends AC/DC, while the Detroit Soul Collective closed the show in style with an incredible selection of funk and soul classics.

Over on the Bridgestone Stage, there were hugely popular debuts for the Mudlands String Band and Mariachi Encanto UK, with everyone dancing and swaying to the hugely infectious rhythms.

Voices Unlimited and the world-famous Treorchy Male Choir lifted spirits with their stunning harmonies, while Krystal Roxx once again transported everyone to Balearic shores with her own blend of the finest beats.

And of course we couldn’t forget the first appearance of the ZERO Silent Disco, which saw festivalgoers turn up to dance, sing and party to three completely different styles of music, all at the same time, and all in total silence!

Stars shining brightly

A galaxy of stars from the world of adventure biking descended on the ABR Festival to hang out, tell stories and inspire everyone with tales of epic adventures. And boy did they deliver.

Legendary explorer and master of speed, Nick Sanders MBE, made a typically grand entrance to kick things off on the Kove Stage. Mind you, it’s hard not to when your arrival literally marks the end of a ride around the entirety of Northern Europe on board the Royal Enfield Bear 650.

Global YouTube sensation Itchy Boots captivated the audience as she told the story of her latest travels, while Adam Riemann and Ryan F9 teamed up to reveal their thoughts on bikes, filmmaking and what it takes to build a loyal audience.

Fresh from a huge win in the ‘Oscars of photography’, our very own Simon and Lisa Thomas were asking the questions on the Bridgestone Stage. Among the highlights were catch ups with festival favourites Elspeth Beard, Sam Manicom, and Joey Evans, the Dakar rider whose astonishing story is one of grit, determination and triumph over adversity.

Meanwhile, Vanessa Ruck inspired guests to get the most of their biking adventures by taking hosting duties on the Himalayan Masterclass Stage.

Offering practical tips and advice on how to ensure you stay safe on your adventures, this year’s classes included a workshop on how to get the perfect bike set up from Llewellyn Pavey, as well as Nathan Millward’s take on how to downsize to small bike adventures.
