Built around the group

A supported motorcycle expedition with a genuine parallel experience for non-riding partners.

The motorcycles

Middleweight adventure bikes for a serious mountain route.

PRIMARY PLATFORM

CFMoto 450MT

A balanced middleweight adventure motorcycle suited to paved mountain roads, variable conditions and long supported days.

ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM

Kove 525X

An alternative operator-listed adventure model, with final fleet allocation subject to written confirmation.

Final allocationBike models, condition, tyres, luggage, damage policy and insurance limits must be confirmed in the final written contract.

Guide-driven support

The vehicle that lets the bikes travel light.

The support/security vehicle follows the riding group and carries rider luggage, bottled oxygen and operational equipment. Riders keep only their daily essentials on the motorcycle.

01

Rider luggage carried off the motorcycles

02

Emergency oxygen and operational kit

03

Guide support throughout the route

04

Motorcycle return freight after Lhasa

Passenger tour van

Same expedition. A different seat.

Non-riding partners travel in a separate chauffeured van, follow the same overall route and use the same hotels. They are full-journey passengers—not pillions.
