  • Small groupsFeedback on your own riding, every day.
  • Adapted to the groupTerrain and pace change when riders need it.

Instructor to be announced

Joining in 2027

Instructor No. 2

We are still choosing, and we are picky about it: rally raid kilometres in the legs, the patience to explain a CAP heading for the fifth time, and enough humour to laugh about it at the bivouac.

When we find them, their face goes here.

Where

Lika, the Dalmatian Hinterland and a bivouac at Šuki

We train far from towns and traffic, around a base near Knin.

Terrain

Gravel roads, rocky climbs, forest tracks and open karst plateaus. Custom trainings can move to other regions.

Bivouac and rooms

Camping at the bivouac is free for participants, with showers, toilets and power. Hotel-Restaurant Šuki has a few rooms; more are 15 minutes away by car.

Bivouac on Google Maps

Food

Breakfast and dinner together at Šuki: traditional cooking, vegetarian options available. Lunch stops on the trail.

Before you come

Bike, gear and tools

Your bike

Bring your own, whatever it is. Hard enduro and big adventure bikes often train side by side.

No suitable bike? A few rental motorcycles are available. Mention it when you book.

Protective gear

Required on the terrain at all times:

  • MX or enduro boots
  • Full-face helmet and goggles
  • Gloves with protectors
  • Body armour

Tools

We provide tools for the maintenance sessions. Bring special tools your bike needs, especially for rare or very new models.

Riders

After the training
