Bikes and Tyres

The “500” series of events have been specifically designed for the bigger adventure bikes and the Adventure Spec Wales 500 course has been created with this in mind. The course 100% suitable for dual sport tyres. The organisation team will have ridden all the course prior to the event to check its suitability.

Fuel and Range

The Adventure Spec Wales 500 is in a remote part of the UK and the bikes taking part will need a range of 160km (100 miles) on a single tank of fuel. Most of the big adventure bikes are capable of this. All fuel stops will be at commercial filling stations and marked on the roadbook.

These will be available to hire from RallyMoto – please request this on your entry form.

Accommodation – if you don’t fancy camping!

Food
