New Rally Fuel Tanks for KTM Adventure and Super Enduro!

KTM’s Adventure and Super Enduro are the kings of the Big Trail Bike and Monster Enduro classes, but all that power and fun come at a cost!
They may keep a smile on your face at all times, but they do tend to be at thirsty if ridden ‘enthusiastically’, meaning a limited range even with the 19 litre capacity of a 990 Adventure

Enter the ADVtank providing an extra 8.5 litres of gas and between 70 and 100 miles of extra range.

The tank needs a 2-into-1 exhaust system to work as it takes up the place of the left hand exhaust can. Adventure-Spec can offer the ADVtank 2-into-1 adapter or the full blown GPR 2-into-1 Rally system with a specially adapted G-iT sumpguard, for that full ‘Rally Rep’ look.

The tanks are well proven. Lyndon Poskitt used one on his 950 Adventure on the ‘Salt and Gold’ expedition, check out the trailer to the DVD in the earlier post to see the abuse it withstood.

Available from 1st April. Pre-orders are being taken. Get one booked to avoid dissapointment!

Giantloop Great Basin fitting video

This excellent video from ‘Check It Out’ gives a really thorough overview of the Giantloop Great Basin, fitting it to a bike and packing it

Although designed with Dual Sport and big trail bikes in mind the vid clearly demonstrates what a versatile piece of kit the Great Basin is, an excellent choice whatever type of bike you ride

Salt and Gold DVD trailers now online!

The long awaited DVD of the Adventure-Spec/Beast-of-Burden ‘Salt and Gold’ Expedition is nearly ready for release.

In December of 2008 Dave Lomax of Adventure-Spec and 5 other hardened desert junkies headed into the Empty Quarter of Mauretania to push the limits of motorcycle desert travel.

The DVD accurately documents the reality of a long off-road expedition across challenging and dangerous terrain.

Some of you may notice strange looking Klim garments worn by 3 of the riders. These are early prototypes of the ground-breaking Klim Adventure Rally suit, available from Adventure-Spec and official UK Klim dealers from Easter!

check out the trailer below and visit the Salt and Gold website for photos ,  DVD details, more trailers and information on the riders and route.

Riding with Boundsy!

Chris from Adventure-Spec took a break from the office to spend the weekend being shown around South Wales by Dakar competitor Craig Bounds.

Craig’s vast knowledge of the areas track and trails led to two days of spectacular and challenging riding. The group including Mark from G-iT and Dom from Kriega left exhausted but satisfied they’d experienced some of the finest trail riding the UK has to offer.

Adventure-Spec will be offering riding and training days with Craig in the near future. Small groups and personalised itineraries are the order of the day. If you’re interested drop us a line for more details
