For 35 years, Touratech has been synonymous with high-quality motorcycle equipment and clothing. To mark its anniversary, the company is presenting the exclusive collection ‘35th Anniversary Edition’.

Touratech is 35! This anniversary must of course be celebrated in style. And the Adventure Company No. 1 is doing just that, not only with a travel event in a class of its own, but also with the attractive 35th Anniversary Edition. The exclusively styled edition products allow all adventure riders and friends of the brand to join in the celebrations and at the same time express their lifestyle with a distinctive look.

The edition includes leisure wear as well as riding and motorcycle gear. Each piece impresses with high-quality materials and distinctive anniversary branding. The design of the products harks back to the brand's roots and expresses timeless values such as quality, adventure and freedom in a modern design language.

‘New ideas for motorcycles’ – for 35 years, this slogan has described Touratech's commitment to setting new trends as an innovation leader in the industry and continuously raising the quality standard for motorcycle equipment and clothing. With the “35th Anniversary Edition”, we are offering exclusively styled products for a limited time to thank all friends of the Touratech brand and, last but not least, all those who have accompanied us on this journey," says Touratech CMO Martin Wickert.

The highlight of the anniversary collection is the Aventuro PRO Carbon 35th Anniversary Edition helmet. With its integrated sun visor, it offers an additional feature that goes beyond the wide range of functions of the standard version. The distinctive design emphasises the high quality of this unique adventure helmet thanks to a particularly high share of visible carbon.

The popular Touratech Rack-Pack is available in the 35th Anniversary Edition in a sand colour with special adventure appeal – and in two sizes, namely with a volume of 25 and 50 litres.
The ‘35 years’ softshell jacket is a high-quality and practical garment. A microfibre towel, a multifunctional scarf and various caps are also available in the exclusive look of the anniversary collection.

Just in time for the warm season, the T-shirt and polo shirt with ‘35 years’ branding are now available. And to quench your thirst, take a sip from the ‘Edition 35’ aluminium drinking bottle.

All products from the Touratech ‘35th Anniversary Edition’ are now available in the online shop.

Ragley Hall, Warwickshire - Following on from an extraordinary festival in 2024, with just shy of 700 test rides taken over the weekend, Royal Enfield returns for ABR Festival 2025 with an even bigger presence, set to take place from 26 to 29 June at Ragley Hall, Alcester.

Star of the show this year is the Himalayan 450, with a special exhibition in Royal Enfield’s ‘Immersion Tent’. Various Himalayan 450s will be on display, with some models featuring the latest GMA accessories , along with members of the team behind the latest generation of Himalayan - notably its Lead Designer, Steve Everitt, who will attend to discuss and explain the full story behind the legendary adventure bike.

Visitors to the Immersion Tent will be granted unparalleled access to learn about the full Himalayan 450 development story: from the new liquid-cooled Sherpa 452cc engine, to the 2025 developments for the chassis, and the overall style choices for the latest Himalayan. Experts will be on hand for the entire weekend to answer questions and divulge the full story on the evolution from the Himalayan 411 to the 450.

Elsewhere, in the Community Tent, there will be the chance to connect with Royal Enfield Ride Partners to plan rides in the UK and beyond; Biker BnB, Vintage Rides, and Moto Junkies will all be in attendance to discuss ride opportunities for later in the year; a perfect time to find out about exciting and unique Royal Enfield experiences - from gaining off-road Himalayan experience with Moto Junkies, to exploring Vietnam on the ‘Vietnam Jungle & Shores’ tour with Vintage Rides, or embarking on the Highland Scramble in Scotland with Biker BnB.

Back in the ABR Festival grounds at Ragley Hall, there will be plenty of weekend ride opportunities to be had, both on-road and off-road. The full 2025 range of Royal Enfield motorcycles will all be available to book for a ride. Guided rides will be available from 10am each day, with booking officially starting at 9am - it is highly recommended to plan ahead to avoid missing out.

Also returning from an epic ride will be legendary global adventurer, Nick Sanders, coming home this time from his 30,000 km Edge of Europe ride on a Bear 650. With Ragley Hall set as his final destination, Nick will no doubt be happy to share tales of his latest adventure at the festival, providing the perfect inspiration for a Bear 650 test ride whilst there.

Further, Nick has confirmed some appearances for the show:

• Thursday - 30,000KM Edge of Europe Finale - 4 PM Nick's arrival on the Headline Kove Stage

With much, much more to come over the full weekend, the Royal Enfield tents are not to be missed.

About Royal Enfield

The oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, Royal Enfield has created beautifully crafted motorcycles since 1901. From its British roots, a manufacturing plant was established in Madras in 1955, a foothold from which Royal Enfield spearheaded the growth of India’s mid-sized two-wheeler segment. Royal Enfields are engaging, uncomplicated, accessible and fun to ride; a vehicle for exploration and self-expression. It’s an approach the brand calls Pure Motorcycling.

Royal Enfield’s premium line-up includes Bear 650, Classic 650, Guerrilla 450 modern roadster, Hunter 350, Meteor 350, Super Meteor 650, Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 twins, the Shotgun 650, the new Himalayan adventure tourer, the Scram 440 ADV Crossover, the iconic Bullet 350, Classic 350 and Goan Classic 350. The company recently unveiled its new city+ motorcycle brand – the Flying Flea – a fresh take on urban mobility, blending authentic design with advanced technology.

Riders and a passionate community are fostered with a rich profusion of events at a local, regional and international level. Most notable are Motoverse (previously Rider Mania), an annual gathering of thousands of Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Goa, and Himalayan Odyssey; a yearly pilgrimage over some of the toughest terrain and highest mountain passes.

A division of Eicher Motors Limited, Royal Enfield operates through more than 2000 stores across all major cities and towns in India and through nearly 850 stores in more than 60 countries around the globe. Royal Enfield also has two world-class technical centres, in Bruntingthorpe, UK, and in Chennai, India. The company’s two state-of-the-art production facilities are located at Oragadam and Vallam Vadagal, near Chennai. Across the world, Royal Enfield has six modern CKD assembly facilities in Bangladesh, Nepal, Brazil, Thailand, Argentina and Colombia.

Touratech presents “Azores Untamed – The Ride between two continents”, an extraordinary motorcycle adventure movie. The film traces the journey of Charley Boorman and Paul Guillien through the magical world of the Azores, while also providing an intense portrait of two charismatic motorcycle travellers.

It is certainly no exaggeration to describe Charley Boorman as a living legend: with his ‘Long Way...’ series, he has had a greater impact on the adventure rider community than almost anyone else. Paul Guillien is not only CEO of Touratech USA, but also a key figure in the American motorcycle travelling scene as the mastermind behind Backcountry Discovery Routes.
These two characters meet halfway between their home continents of Europe and America: on São Miguel, the main island of the Azores. Charley, whose travel territory is the entire globe, and Paul, for whom the seemingly endless expanses of North America are just a push of the starter button on his GS away. Charley, who spontaneously and intuitively throws himself into every adventure, and Paul, who loves to meticulously plan his routes. Will these two characters experience a full-size motorcycle adventure on a tiny piece of land just over 60 kilometres long and only 10 kilometres wide in some places, in the middle of the aquatic desert of the Atlantic?

No problem on São Miguel! As small as the island may be, the diversity of its landscape, with rugged rocky coasts, lush rainforests, towering volcanoes and gentle pastures, guarantees variety behind almost every one of its countless curves. Nestled in this green idyll are cosy fishing villages and small towns with colourful Baroque facades. The routes are challenging with gravel sections, fords and muddy passages, and the changeable weather does the rest to allow the two riders to show what they are made of.

In this setting, an intense dialogue develops between the two travellers about different philosophies of travelling in general and strategies for approaching adventure in particular.
With magnificent footage by Stefan Klabunde and Canan Gündogan, the new Touratech Adventure Movie ‘Azores Untamed – The Ride between two continents’ tells a story of growing friendship and a shared passion for motorcycle travel, introducing viewers to the untamed island world of the Azores, which has been largely spared from mass tourism.

The Touratech Adventure Movie ‘Azores Untamed’ will be available on Touratech's YouTube channel from 30 May 2025. The film has a running time of 32 minutes.
