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.
