Taking your adventure bike off-road for the first time is an exciting but intimidating experience. But that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the thrills of green laning or having that adventure of a lifetime.

Of course not everyone wants to tackle the Road of Bones, but knowing how to ride safely and with confidence when the tarmac ends can only be a good thing. Not only will it open up a whole new world of riding, but it’s great fun.

And that’s why we’re delighted to announce that we’ve once again partnered with Phoenix Motorcycle Training to bring ABR Festival goers the Phoenix Trails Off-Road Training Zone.

Here, you’ll find some of the world’s most renowned off-road riding schools running sessions throughout the weekend of the ABR Festival, including:

  • Phoenix Motorcycle Training
  • Alex Snow Off Road
  • BMW Off Road Skills
  • Desert Rose Riding Academy
  • Dirt Rides UK
  • Ducati Adventure Academy
  • Harley Davidson Riding Academy
  • Honda Adventure Centre
  • Inch Perfect Trials
  • Kawasaki Rider Training Services
  • Sweet Lamb Adventure Bike Academy
  • Triumph Adventure Centre
  • Yamaha Tenere Off-road Experience

They’ll teach you the basics of riding away from the tarmac or, if you’re already pretty handy, give you tips on going up to the next level. The best part? Sessions are free for all festival goers; simply turn up and book yourself in.

Tuition is carried out by some of the industry’s best instructors, from multi-world champions to Dakar riders. It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete novice or a seasoned off-roader, you’ll find training and advice tailored to your ability.

And you won’t have to risk your own pride and joy while you learn. All of the on-site schools will provide you with the latest adventure bikes to try out.
