Slovakian Adventures start with the first pedal stroke. The more you pedal, the further you can go. Where will your explorations take you? Ours led to the Switzerland of central Asia – Kyrgyzstan. This stunning land-locked country boasts 7000m high peaks, the second largest mountain lake in the world, and miles of stunning trails. The perfect adventure destination.
We all need to escape the daily grind from time to time. An adventure beyond our comfort zone opens us up to new experiences and new challenges. It also generates its own extraordinary memories. With just friends, bikes, trails and a rough plan, practically anything is possible. Believe in yourself, believe in the generosity of strangers, and go explore.
Humanity has developed different ways to survive and thrive. All too often we can get caught in our own rut, ignoring the multitude of other experiences beyond our own borders. Kyrgyzstan‘s beautiful, rugged interior and the hospitality of its nomadic people are a welcome reminder that there‘s more to life than the 9 to 5. A smile breaks down many

No other machine so effectively epitomises freedom and opportunity. Be part of the landscape, rather than just a passive observer. Live it. Breathe it. Ride it.
„Riding along through endless prairie plains and majestic mountain landscapes makes you realise how small you are in this world. It gives you a completely different outlook and helps you to focus on what‘s important in life. The thing that impressed me most was how incredibly open and welcoming the locals are.“
