TOURATECH USA
Touratech USA has initiated two new events this season - and both are all about maximum driving action. At the TouraTexas Rally, a great off-road terrain was available, and at the BajaADV Rally, adventure riders were able to take on the fantastic tracks on the Baja California peninsula.
BajaADV RALLYE 2024
The BajaADV Rally celebrated its premiere from 6 to 8 December. Participants had the opportunity to experience the scenic beauty of the deserts, mountains and beaches of Baja California as part of an orientation drive. The starting point was the Baja ADV Garage in Tijuana/Mexico, the home of Touratech Baja. The event offered a successful mix of adventure and camaraderie. Experienced guides and a large team of helpers ensured that everything ran smoothly.
TOURATEXAS RALLYE 2024
From 24 to 27 October, the TouraTexasRally took place for the first time at the Austin Moto Adventures training grounds in Burnet, TX. This gathering for travelling enduro enthusiasts and dual-sports fans caused quite a stir in the US adventure scene. Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Royal Enfield and Zero were on site with demonstrators. The rally offered an extensive programme with guided tours, rider training, obstacle courses and seminars led by experts.
A highlight of the rally was the presentation of the Big Bend BDR-X route. A detailed documentary film gave the audience an exclusive look at this new 600-mile adventure route through the remote desert landscapes of West Texas.
TOURATECH CZECHIA AT ALL AMERICAN FEST IN PRAG
With over 20,000 visitors over three days on an area of almost 20 hectares, the All American Fest near the centre of Prague once again offered a unique mix of motorbikes, music, food and fun for visitors from all over Europe. And right in the middle of it all: Touratech CZ. The Czech distributor was represented with its own show truck on an exhibition area of around 200 square metres and presented its own project bikes as well as interesting conversions from the company's centre in Germany. However, it was not the flattrack version of the Harley PanAmerica that attracted the greatest interest from visitors, but the spectacular Build R 1800 Stealth, which thrilled even hardened Harley fans.
TOURATECH JAPAN AT GS TROPHY IN NAMIBIA
Yumi, sales assistant at Touratech Japan and an enthusiastic off-roader, took part in the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2024 in Namibia. Since Yumi has been working at Touratech Japan, she has been training intensively with her GS. She has spent a lot of time getting fit for the national qualifier - and finally came out on top. Then it was off to the international qualifier in Malaga, Spain. Finally, Yumi's dream came true and she was able to travel to Namibia. The Trophy lasted six days over mostly sandy tracks. Some of the tracks were so difficult that the teams had to help each other. Yumi took second place in the women's competition but is convinced: ‘Everyone who took part in this event is a winner!’
NEW SHOP: TOURATECH MIDDLE EAST NOW IN HATTA
There is a new contact point for motorbike travellers on the Arabian Peninsula. Touratech Middle East has opened a new branch in Hatta in the United Arab Emirates. Hatta is located on the main route to the Sultanate of Oman and is therefore a practical stopover. The Touratech logo cannot be overlooked from the motorway. In addition to a broad cross-section of the Touratech range, travellers will also find active help with technical problems.
ALWAYS AT THE HEART OF THE ACTION: TOURATECH PHILIPPINES
Touratech Philippines is an important player in the island republic's vibrant adventure scene. With the Touratech Philippines Travel Event, the colleagues from the Far East organise a meeting where the rapidly growing community can continue to network. The Touratech flag is also flown high at other important events such as the Makina Moto Show in the capital city of Manila and the National Bike Convention. A special highlight was the screening of the Touratech movie ‘Thailand unleashed’ with Charley Boorman, organised together with RSA Motors BMW Motorrad in Quezon.

TOURATECH THAILAND: FILLED SCHEDULE
Touratech Thailand is one of the most active distributors in Asia. The team led by motorbike enthusiast Peera is constantly organising new events and meeting the scene at exciting events. There is a simple reason why the Thais are so enthusiastic about adventure riding: the conditions in their home country are simply brilliant. Touratech Thailand has completed a tight programme for the 2024 season. Highlights include a test ride event for influencers with the brand new BMW R 1300 GS at the company's own Adventure & Enduro Park around 100 kilometres outside Bangkok as well as participation in the Honda Adventure Mania in Pattaya, the Asia Harley Days and the BMW Motorrad Day.
