Q&A Who Is This Adventure For?

Who is Honda Adventure Roads 2026 aimed at?

HAR 2026 is a shorter, more accessible and more inclusive version of the original concept. Using the Honda XL750 Transalp with E-Clutch, a balanced route and professional supervision, it is the ideal format for adventure motorcyclists curious to experience adventure. 👉 If you have already done the Silk Road or the Dakar Rally three times… you might get bored 😉

Why is this format different from previous HAR events?

HAR 2026 is a gateway to adventure, with a shorter, more accessible but equally authentic approach. A format for intermediate adventure riders who still want a challenge.

Q&A Riding & Skill Level

What is the ratio of road to off-road?

Approximately 50% road – 50% off-road (in terms of riding time). All off-road sections are easy, fast-paced and suitable for beginners.

Do I need to have off-road riding experience?

Yes a novice to intermediate level of off-road riding is required to participate in this event.

What if I can't keep up?

Do I need to be very experienced?

What if I have doubts?

That’s normal. Coaching and mentoring are there for that very purpose.

I’ve never ridden off-road before; is this truly suitable for a beginner?

Do I need a specific category of motorcycle licence to participate?

Yes, you must hold a valid, full Category A (unrestricted) motorcycle licence.

Q&A Motorbike & Equipment

Can I bring my own motorbike?

No. The motorbike is provided by Honda (equipped Transalp) to ensure fairness and logistics.

What riding gear (helmet, boots, armour) is mandatory for this event?

Safety is our priority. You will need a full-face helmet, a motorcycle jacket and trousers, protective gloves, and sturdy adventure or off-road boots. Upper body protection is also mandatory. We recommend Adventure style kit for the best balance of protection and comfort across both tarmac and trail. If you secure a position as a rider our clothing partner Alpinestars will have a limited selection of clothing you can purchase at a discounted rate. First come first served.

Comprehensive insurance for the motorcycle is included in your booking fee. A standard refundable damage excess applies 575 EUR, which is held until you return the bike after the event.

Am I insured during the event?

Yes. All participants benefit from included repatriation insurance, covering medical expenses abroad in case of problems.

What happens in the event of a mechanical problem?

Our mechanical team is present on the route and at the hotel. Minor issues, quick repairs or checks: we always find a solution so that you can continue the adventure.

What type of accommodation is provided?

Depending on the event you choose, nights are spent in carefully selected inviting hotels that combine comfort and authenticity.

How much personal luggage can I bring for the daily transport service?

To ensure efficient transport, we ask that you limit yourself to one standard-sized suitcase or kit bag (up to 20kg) per person. Our team will handle the transfer of this bag between hotels daily.

What is the recommended arrival time in Barcelona to ensure I don’t miss the first briefing?

Check-in opens at 14:00 on Wednesday, and the vital event briefing begins at 19:00. We recommend arriving in Barcelona by mid-afternoon to allow yourself time to settle in and meet the team before the journey officially starts.
