Adventure riding often needs bikes to carry big loads, and those loads have a major impact on the bike’s suspension and behaviour. Even weight distribution is the key.

Adventure riding is taking man and machine deeper and deeper into the Australian wilder ness. As we get further afield we generally get further from assistance, creating a need for us to carry more and more gear with us. It’s great to be prepared, but all that extra gear means a lot of extra weight on the bike. How you arrange that weight can be extremely critical to bike performance.
