About the Event
Some moments on a motorcycle make you feel alive, focused, completely committed, and in it. Adventure Crown brings riders together for exactly those moments: real challenge, real reward, and the kind of shared experience that turns into stories you tell for years. If you want to be part of this community, now is the time to claim your place.

A competition built from modules
The competition runs as a series of modules. Each one is its own challenge. One might test slow-speed control on a rocky switchback, the next might drop you in the woods with a compass.
Check-in
Show your license, grab your rider packet, get your bike inspected.
Rider briefing
Schedule, format, safety rules. We walk through everything before anyone rides.
Module rotations
You rotate through modules in groups. Half rides, half scores, then you swap.
Live scoring
Scores are posted throughout the day. No waiting until the end to find out how you did.
Awards
Final leaderboard goes up, awards across all classes and overlays.
The ride/record rotation
Each group splits in half. Half rides while the other half scores. Then you swap. You get to watch how other riders handle the same obstacles before it's your turn. Scoring stays honest because riders are recording it themselves.
Honest feedback: what went well, what didn't. Come back next year and see how much you've improved.
How scoring works
Ride a module cleanly, earn points. Make a mistake, lose some. Everything's published. You'll never wonder why someone placed higher than you.
| Action | Points | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Clean module completion | +10 | +Points |
| Optional A-line chosen & completed | +3 | +Bonus |
| Foot down (dab) | −2 | Penalty |
| Boundary violation | −3 | Penalty |
| Missed gate | −5 | Penalty |
| Module bypass | 0 | No points |
* Point values are illustrative.
The basics
- -Complete a module cleanly and you earn points
- -Dabs, boundary violations, missed gates. Each has a fixed penalty, no judgment calls
- -A-lines are harder routes with bonus points; B-lines are the standard route
- -Scores go up throughout the day. You're never in the dark
A/B Lines
Some modules have two routes. The A-line is harder but worth more points. The B-line is the standard route. Pick the one that matches your riding.
Compete where you belong
Adventure bikes vary massively in weight and power. Classes ensure you're compared against bikes that are genuinely similar to yours.
| Class | Engine Size | Examples | Badge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Up to 600cc | Honda CRF300L, Royal Enfield Himalayan, KTM 390 Adventure | Small |
| Medium | 601 – 900cc | Yamaha Ténéré 700, KTM 790/890 Adventure, Triumph Tiger 900 | Medium |
| Large | 901cc and above | BMW R 1300 GS, Honda Africa Twin, KTM 1290 Super Adventure | Large |
How you're ranked
Everyone in your class runs the same modules with the same scoring. The only variable is how you ride.
Your class is based on the bike you compete on, not your experience level.
Women riders also get a separate leaderboard alongside the class rankings.
