Lots of goodness to explore in the forests along the South Coast of NSW with the Great Dividing Range edging so close to the coast. We will spend our days zig zagging between the coast and the High Country around Cooma and towards Braidwood where the landscape changes from rainforest to open flowing decomposed granite roads.
Ride the South Coast with the support of Maschine and our trusty support crew.

See our Track Grading System for more detailed information to help you decide if this ride is right for you.
We like to make our tours suitable for “an average rider on a big-bore adventure bike”.
So we expect riders to have at least some off-road riding experience – ideally two years.
The main Adventure routes are usually suitable for big adventure bikes, like a Ducati Multistrada or BMW R1250GS with off-road knobby tyres fitted.
For sure less experienced riders can, and have, joined our tours and they find them to be an incredible learning experience. You can learn so much just being around other riders. We suggest this is not the ride for you if you are just starting out.
If you have any questions or concerns just give us a call and we are happy to have a chat about your personal situation.
This ride is capped at 80 riders.
If this sounds like a lot to you then bear in mind that we have experience in managing motorcycle tour events with over 250 riders! We have the systems and knowledgable staff in place to effectively manage these larger group sizes.
A group size of 80 is our preference because it means we can get a good quality of accommodation for everyone during the ride. The group makes you feel part of a big event but also you get the opprtunity to meet and talk to everyone during the ride and make new friends.
Yes absolutely, we always recommend riders have knobby tyres on their bikes to maximise your safety and enjoyment.
Our recommended tyres in most situations are Motoz Tractionator Adventure or Motoz Tractionator Rallz (Nick’s favourite!) for their predictable off-road grip and outstanding durability.
For sure other tyres like Continental TKC80 or Pirelli Scorpion Rally are OK too.
We don’t advise riders to use 50/50 tyres like Hidenau K60 Scout or Continental TKC70. These styles of tyre with a solid centre rib just simply don’t offer enough traction in many off-road situations, particularly when conditions get wet.
No, typically rental bikes are not available for our Australian tours. That said we may have some options we can look into for you on this tour. Please email us with your enquiry.
Yes. This ride is primarily for riders on their own adventure bikes.
For those of you that have the luxury of more than one bike to choose from we would give this information:
Yes, this ride is suitable for Enduro bikes providing you have a minimum fuel range of around 200km. We will confirm the estimated fuel range required for each individual event as we get closer to the event.
We provide the pre-planned routes as a .GPX file you can load into your GPS or Smartphone navigation app. This will allow you to follow our planned route at your own pace and arrive safely at the overnight stop.
For each event we also provide printed daily route sheets which include an overview map and address details of fuel, food, overnight accommodation stops etc.
At some events we will also have route marking arrow stickers that are put up by our lead riders on trees, posts etc. as a physical marker.
No, for our off-road adventure tours we provide a luggage support van. You will drop your bag at the van each morning and the van will carry your bag to the overnight stop where it will be waiting for you to collect at the end of the day.
For our international road tours we typically don’t provide a luggage support vehicle so you will have to carry your own luggage. Usually our rental bikes come equipped with panniers and/or top box. Please confirm your required luggage options at time of booking.

No. Large gear bags, wheelie suitcases are not permitted in our luggage van. We have strict capacity limits.
Hard pannier cases are not recommended as your luggage because we can’t guarantee they won’t get scratched or damaged in transit therefore we recommend soft bags only.

No, for safety reasons we do not allow riders to ride with hard (aluminium or plastic) panniers or top box on their bikes for our off-road adventure tours. We have seen too many injuries caused by hard boxes hitting or trapping riders.

Read our Adventure Riders Prep Guide for tips on what and how to pack. As a minimum you should carry spare tubes for your wheels and the tools to remove and replace your wheels. Zip ties and tape work miracles too!
Even if you don’t know a spanner from a screwdriver someone in our crew will be coming to lend a hand.
