Adventure Bike Rider

Over the years, our website has evolved into the largest adventure riding community in the UK. When we factor in our social media followers, ABR stands as the premier authority and voice for adventure riding on a global scale. ABR was created for three main reasons: my enduring love for travel and motorcycles, the noticeable gap in the UK motorcycle media for a publication dedicated to the growing adventure bike market, and a motorcycle accident that limited my ability to pursue another passion of mine – mountain climbing.

The all-new BMW R 1300 GS Adventure is packed with enough features and technology to execute a moon landing but does it really need it all? And would it make a difference to the motorcycle’s performance if BMW dropped some of it, and shaved a few quid off the price of the bike in the process?
Everything you need to know before a motorcycle trip to France, Spain, or Portugal

My life is basically divided into two parts: the time spent on a motorcycle trip, and the time spent planning the next adventure. While it’s a lot more fun actually being on a tour, I reckon that planning one can also be a lot of fun. Poring over maps, researching roads and destinations, and imagining the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells that await in exotic lands.

New Shark OXO flip front helmet: overview and first impressions

2 months ago | adventurebikerider.com | Billy Johnson

Shark has released the OXO, the latest in its line of innovative flip front helmet, and it could well be the most versatile lid money can buy. Unlike traditional flip front helmets, Shark uses a distinct ‘flip over’ mechanism, which enables the chin bar to hinge all the way over to the back of the helmet. This provides better aerodynamic performance when in the open position than a traditional flip front, and allows you to wear it as either a proper full-face or as an open face lid.
