Wow! What an event, we took 50 riders from Marrakesh, down to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, then back up through the national park of Ifrane to Fes. With over 30 riders tackling the Trail Edition, riding through the desert, through river beds, up long steep mountain passes and across the dunes this was an epic adventure. The Tarmac Edition saw riders hit the heights of the High Atlas mountain range, ride some incredible mountain switchbacks, cross the desert to get to the “Bond Volcano” film location and have adventures of their own getting across, round and through some of the many washed out roads.

Wow!!!!!! CampVC never fails to deliver. What a great weekend. Super cool to meet up with so many riders who were with us at previous Camps and to meet new riders. Everyone threw themselves into the enduro school sessions we put on over the 3 days and they all went away with new skills and a love of riding off road motorcycles.

2024 saw the 10th Edition of the incomparable Malle Mile. Set in the grounds of the beautiful Grimsthorpe Castle this is a one of a kind event. Inappropriate motorcycles being raced across the castle lawns and down the castle driveway, with fire eaters, world renowned wall of death show, art exhibition, live music, fire works, moto polo and 1500 motorcycles on a scramble around the grounds each morning. Harry yet again spending a weekend mainly on the back wheel of one of our Beta enduro bikes, all in the name of his role as Marshal of course.

This event just keeps getting bigger and better. For 2024 there were 17,500 attendees. Motorcycle manufacturers managed 10,000 test rides on the latest adventure bikes. We were delighted to have been invited again to host the daily trail briefings, giving riders essential tips and hints as to how to safely ride the trails.

As part of the all new Desert Rose Ebike Xperience we have a fleet of the new EM Escape XR motorcycles. Designed with a specific goal in mind, this motorcycle offers limitless riding possibilities and ease of handling for all levels and riding styles. Equipped with a hydraulic diaphragm clutch, this version is more cross-country oriented than ever, able of welcoming new riders to the world of hard enduro, as well as providing plenty of satisfaction for more experienced riders. With 700NM of torque, the Escape XR is the most powerful motorcycle in the EM range, so you’re sitting on the ultimate in power-to-weight ratio. To make the pleasure last, the Escape XR is also equipped with our latest 3.5 kWh battery. Made in France, the Escape X comes with the very latest EM technology: TFT screen, EM Connect, TKO, Anti Reverse, FRB (Fixed Regenerative Brake).

So good to be back at Tobacco Dock, London for the 2024 BikeShed Show. Great to meet up with old friends and talk to new riders about getting to ride off road. We had a selection of bikes with us, one of the academy’s enduro bikes, an OSET from our junior Ebike Xperience along with an EM Escape XR, one of our own built customer rallye bikes, Vanessa Ruck’s KTM rallye bike and one of Two Wheels for Life Yamaha AGs.

We are delighted to be able to announce that following the launch of the new OSET range of electric off road bikes, our all new eBike Experience will be kick started once again. Aimed at junior riders we are looking at the future right here. Desert Rose have been working in partnership with OSET for nearly 10 years. Want to experience the fun and exhilaration of riding an electric dirt bike through the woods, over obstacles and around purpose built trails then look no further, the Desert Rose OSET eBike Experience has you covered. Using the latest range of OSET electric dirt bikes our team of experienced coaches will help you get the most from your session. With Green, Blue and Red Trails to master, there’s something for everyone. Get a taste of the action here

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.

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.
