Desert Rose Riding Academy & Sinnis Motorcycles
At Desert Rose Riding Academy we are focused on delivering rider training and coaching so that riders can get the most out of their riding experience. Whether it is through our Stage 1/2 courses getting riders taking those first steps off road, or coaching riders who plan to take part in hard/extreme enduro events, riders looking to take on a big desert rallye, owners of big adventure bikes who want to go off the tarmac occasionally our passion is helping riders enhance their off road riding skills.
It is no surprise therefore that Sinnis Motorcycles asked us to deliver some off road rider training courses for riders of their 125 Terrain motorcycles. These small capacity motorcycles are proving to be popular with newer riders, as well as those returning to 2 wheels.
The Sinnis Off Road Riding Academy in Partnership with Desert Rose can be seen in action here
We have based the courses on our Stage 1 syllabus which builds the core principles for riding motorcycles off road. Body positioning and bike handling exercises enable riders to build their confidence. This is then built on further with learning the braking techniques for riding off road. With some 80 plus acres of open, rutted fields, tight woodland and some short but fairly steep hills riders and bikes coped really well all day.
We know of riders who have taken and in fact are currently taking these T125s on all sorts of adventures, one of which sees a young rider on her way to the northern tip of Norway, tent and provisions strapped to the back of her bike. She spent a day with us just before she left the UK to build her off road riding skills, ready for whatever Scandanavia might throw at her. Safe travels H.

Portugal Trails 2024
At Desert Rose we love the trails out in Portugal. We have been hosting groups of riders out there for many years. Endless trails, beautiful scenery, steep hill climbs, river crossings, some heart in the mouth descents and a coastline for those dramatic shots we all love.

Desert Rose & Caofen Electric Dirt Bikes
A new partnership between Desert Rose Riding Academy and Caofen will provide an opportunity for riders to experience what electric off road motorcycles have to offer.
Using both the Caofen F80 and Caofen FX riders will be able to put these bikes to the test for a morning or afternoon at one of our East Sussex off road training facilities.
Noise pollution is a thing of the past with electric off road motorcycles. With these new models, the lightweight monocoque chassis is made from aircraft-grade Magnarium alloy, providing class leading rigidity increasing safety and enhancing the F80’s off road capability.
The technology provides far greater battery stability, improving performance allowing you to ride faster for longer. The operating temperature range of the battery is extended from minus 40 Celsius to plus 60 Celsius and allows for faster more efficient charging.

The Morocco 1500
Morocco has always drawn adventurers and overlanders to its heart. For Desert Rose, it is a home from home, with Patsy first travelling across it over 25 years ago. Being part of the route of the famous Paris-Dakar rallye of the late 70s and early 80s it is surely on most motorcyclists’ bucket list.
For 2024 we have something completely new and we believe quite unique. We have built an event which enables both off road riders and on road riders to experience Morocco at its very best, however you choose to travel through it.
With 7 days riding, we will cover some 1500km, starting in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and finishing in Fes, Morocco’s oldest city, having dropped down to Merzouga to see first-hand the majestic dunes and desert vistas.
Staying in quality accommodation and having a night under the stars at a desert bivouac this is an event that will make memories to last a lifetime.
All in the knowledge that you are riding with the full support of the experienced Desert Rose Team there to back you up.
