50/50 knobby tires are highly recommended, but 70/40s would work ok too. If you can’t decide, give us a ring and we’ll talk you through brand options and types to make sure you have a tire suitable for you.
High quality & strong hand guards to protect levers are recommended. We use and recommend HDB Ultimate Handguards.
Doubletake Mirrors help prevent damage to the expensive original parts. If you have your factory mirrors still on, bring a back up pair just in case.
Hard panniers can be dangerous & heavy, and are not permitted during tours. Soft luggage can remain on the bike. Most of our tours have a support truck to carry gear, so you can focus on riding!
A small backpack or Camelbak is highly recommended. It’s most important to have the freedom to move around the bike as needed, so tank bags often get in the way. Small tail bags for snacks and tools work fine too. Just make sure it’s not too tall to prohibit movement.
