THE ULTIMATE OVERLANDMOTORCYCLE Builds

2024 Suzuki V-STROM 800DE

The 2024 Suzuki V‑STROM 800DE builds on its agile parallel‑twin chassis with thoughtfully chosen upgrades to push farther down rough tracks without losing the balanced road manners the V‑STROM name is known for. Together these tweaks create a do‑it‑all adventure bike that devours highway miles in comfort, then flips a switch to tackle remote gravel and double‑track with confidence.

2024 ural Gear up

standard

With the classic styling, a list of upgrades ranging from an electric starter to precision machining, and an all-new crankcase casting, Urals are more than modern enough to stand up to the rigors of adventure travel in the backcountry. 

2023 triumph tiger 1200

rally pro

The 2023 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro was selected as the platform for the Ultimate Overland Motorcycle for its off-road capability and long-haul comfort. Given its performance and its potential as a world-traveling powerhouse, the Tiger 1200 is the ideal platform for a large displacement overland bike build. 

2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700

Starting with the 2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700 finished in Raven Black — Overland Expo is outfitting the bike with the latest and greatest adventure moto gear. We will take it on overland adventures throughout the year, demonstrating just how good the Ténéré and our ultimate gear is on the trail.

Classic Overland makes its debut as a Title Sponsor at Overland Expo SoCal 2026, bringing a lineup built to stop you mid-aisle. Leading the charge is a commanding 6x6 Defender, joined by the heritage-driven Warthog Series and the fully bespoke Signature Series. 

The Warthog Series stays true to utility and purpose, rooted in classic Defender DNA and built for real-world adventure. The Signature Series elevates the platform with hand-stitched interiors, premium materials, and modern performance options including LT1 power.
