The Ducati Xpedition is open to any Ducati adventure travel motorcycle, including:
Yes. You must present your licence at rider sign on and it must be a suitable licence with the appropriate endorsement to ride an open class motorcycle. Learners or probationary licences not suitable.
Yes. You must wear full riding gear and we advise you to wear appropriate riding gear for off-road adventure riding in changeable weather conditions:
The event is intended for riders with entry level to intermediate off-road riding experience. We do expect riders will have an good understanding and certain level of competency of riding a motorcycle on sealed roads and some experience on unsealed roads.
Should we experience adverse weather then the off-road riding may be amended to suit the level of experience of our group.
We highly recommend every participant in the course has off-road knobby style tyres fitted – like the Pirelli Rally STR that comes standard on the DesertX or Multistrada V4 with wire spoked wheels.
More road orientated tyres like the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II lack traction if conditions are wet on unsealed surfaces. Road type tyres may severely hamper your confidence and ability to progress along the route so it essential you fit off-road tyres.
No. The terrain we are riding on should be suitable for either cast alloy or wire spoked wheels. Tyres are the more critical element here.
