We have been coming to CampVC for some years now and it really has grown. This year for their 10th Anniversary the team asked if we could bring more bikes. Never one to step back from a challenge Patsy made sure we upped our game. We took 20 electric dirt bikes; OSET TXP 24s, EM Escape XRs, an Arctic Leopard and of course our brand new fleet of Zero X line bikes. Add to that 16 of our Beta enduro bikes some of our own bikes, the Triumph TF 250 E, Yamaha TTR 125 and Patsy’s Dakar bike from 2004, a KTM 660.

The 2026 Malle Mile Festival will forever be known as “The dust bowl edition” Some 5,000 people experienced 1,500 motorcycles, beauty, chaos, art, jousting, innovation, smiles, moto polo, laughter, slightly surreal DJ sets (IYKYK The Dog Show!) All this in the grounds of an actual castle! MCN joined the party this year and have tried to capture the essence here. That featured image captured by our good friend Roberto.

Late June and we are heading to Warwickshire for the ABR Festival. Europe’s biggest motorcycle festival with nearly 20,000 attendees. We get to meet up with old friends and customers, make new friends and give taster sessions of our off road training courses, lead the early morning Trail Briefings to help riders understand the importance of riding techniques that will help them negotiate the amazing trails and loops set up across the Ragley Hall Estate. We also had the chance to showcase our brand new Zero X Line fleet, these really did get people talking, adventure bikes come in all shape and sizes and with the Zero X Line you can also chat to your fellow riders as you silently ride the trails.
