About ADV-X
The BMW Motorrad ADV-X is the only Canadian BMW GS adventure, officially hosted by BMW Motorrad Canada. It will take place from September 8th to September
14th 2024 in Sun Peaks, British Columbia.
The event offers five days of fully guided adventure riding. Each day, attendees will get to experience up to 300 km of riding in the vast mountain ranges of British Columbia
across various types of terrain, including gravel roads, double and single-track trails, and even water crossings!
BMW Motorrad ADV-X is the perfect playground for GS riders of all skill levels. Throughout the adventure there will be a mix of gravel roads, double and single trail that will test your ability as an off-road rider. Although not mandatory to participate, we highly recommend that riders have some off-road riding experience before joining us on the adventure.
If you are new to off-road riding, we strongly encourage you participating in one of our Certified BMW Motorrad Off-Road Riding Schools. More details available on page 12.
BMW Motorrad ADV-X is supported by a team of off-road riding instructors and technical specialists. During the event, there will be no shortage of learning opportunities, and our team be on site to help riders every step of the way.
Our team is also well equipped to support any technical issues that may arise on the journey, from repairing flat tires, to trailside pickups, and more.
