Heavyweight adventure bikes are billed as go-anywhere, do-anything machines. They can tick off the miles on the motorway. They can tackle the trail. However, very few off-road riders would dare take their full-sized adventurers into the tight and technical terrain of single-track trails. Whether it's rock gardens or muddy conditions, single tracks give riders no other choice than to go over or through the obstacles.
While that may pose a problem for big-bore ADVs, many new middleweight rivals prove that they have what it takes to tackle hard adventure routes. Take Pol Tarres, for example, who rides a Yamaha Tenere 700 as if it were a cross between an enduro and a trials bike. We could say the same for fellow Spanish rider and five-time Enduro World Champion Iván Cervantes, who just claimed the 38th Baja España Aragón’s Trail class title aboard the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro.
