The ABR Festival returns for their fourth year this June at the Ragley Hall Estate in Warwickshire. The event promises to deliver the greatest ever celebration of adventure biking, with three packed days of riding action and festival entertainment.

The festival is set to welcome thousands of like-minded riders, all looking to enjoy the loaded schedule of masterclass sessions, off-road riding schools and live music, as well as the AX41 Adventure Trail – an exclusive 20km off-road trail through the magnificent Ragley Hall Estate.

In addition to the countless riding opportunities on offer, ticket holders will have the chance to rub shoulders with some of motorcycling’s most recognisable and respected riders. The festival will welcome the industry’s biggest names, in what will be their best-ever speaker line-up to date.

Organisers have recently announced that over 40 headline speakers will show at this year’s event, across a total of five different stages. Visitors will be able to hear from their biking heroes with the likes of Elspeth Beard, Lyndon Poskitt and Chris Scott already confirmed.

Undoubtedly the star name appearing at the festival though is iconic motorcycle explorer, and travel writer, Ted Simon. Regarded as the ‘Godfather of Adventure Biking’, Ted will be making a rare UK appearance, speaking about is extraordinary four-year, round-the-world tour in 1973. Upon his return, Ted wrote his first book ‘Jupiter’s Travels’ which cemented his place in history as one of the most important, and respected, adventure travellers ever.

Ted’s original Triumph Tiger will also be on show, which has been kindly lent to the event from the Coventry Transport Museum for the weekend.

In addition to the already packed roster of adventure motorcycling legends will be The Missenden Flyer, MotoBob and RyanF9 – arguably three of motorcycling’s most recognisable faces on YouTube.  RyanF9 will make the trip over from his native city of Vancouver to attend the festival – delivering a series of YouTube and content based workshops, a must-see for any aspiring motorcycle content creators.

Ticket holders will be able to meet and hear from these inspiring riders across the five stages on site including the Ténéré Speaker Stage, The Harley-Davidson Campfire and the ABR Masterclass Tent. The latter will present a full timetable of talks, presentations and workshops from biking experts. Sessions will provide a greater insight into the world of adventure biking, designed to help visitors leave a more knowledgeable and informed rider. A schedule of sessions is available to view on the ABR Festival website, but masterclass highlights include, ‘How to Upgrade & Adventurize Your Bike with Steve Able’, ‘Which Tyres to Use and When with Bridgestone’ and ‘Finding Legal-To-Ride Green Lanes with the TRF.’

Commenting on the recent speaker line-up announcement, ABR Festival founder, Alun Davies said, “This year’s speaker line-up will be our best yet. Our ambition was to assemble the great, the good and the amazing from the world of adventure motorcycling. By all accounts we’ve done that…and I’ve booked a front row seat.”
