Bikes Available Include

DUCATI
DesertX

Description: DesertX is the first modern Ducati with 21 “front wheel and 18” rear, long stroke suspension and a new frame designed specifically for the off-road experience.

DesertX is an opportunity to experiment with a new design language, seeking inspiration in the history of African Rally and the result is a solid, clean, modern design, based on shapes taken from the most adventurous off-road world. It is a bike that wants to be solid and functional at the same time.

HONDA

CRF1100L Africa Twin

On offer is hard-edged off-road performance from an athletic, lightweight chassis with slim rally-style bodywork and characterful, torque-heavy 1084cc engine. A full electronics package uses a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit to manage Honda Selectable Torque Control, cornering ABS, Wheelie Control, Rear Lift Control and cornering detection functionality on the DCT version.

Practicality comes in the shape of multiple riding modes, standard fit cruise control, USB port and full colour 6.5-inch TFT touchscreen incorporating Apple CarPlay® and Bluetooth connectivity. (Full licence required).

CFR300L

We’ve reborn the CRF300L with a lightweight chassis, slimmer bodywork and boosted power and torque from the engine. But, while the specification has improved, the brilliant dual-purpose formula stays the same. The qualities that make it so good off–road – slim proportions, peppy throttle response, agile steering and supple suspension – also make it brilliant around town. The CRF300L enlivens any weekday commute with an enjoyable, satisfying all-round performance. And, come the weekend, this is a motorcycle born to explore. (Can be ridden on an A2 licence).

Here is how it was built to be tough, versatile, and adaptable to all kind of terrain. Go anywhere your adventures takes you.

Scram 411

Today’s world is full of opportunities. And obstacles too. It demands constant switching between modes. Work and play, night and day, rough and smooth, stop and go, fast and slow. The scram 411 is built for this state of flux. Royal Enfield’s high-altitude adventurer DNA has evolved from decades of expeditions and thousands of miles of rides across the most challenging terrains in the world. The scram 411 is derived from this very DNA. It is a multi-purpose tool optimised for agility, an ally that’s always ready for whatever life has in store. This is the scram 411.
