Going on an adventure motorcycle road trip is like riding a quad or side-by-side—but on two wheels. It’s also about going farther while packing light. Are you ready to feel the thrill of freedom, embrace the diversity of Quebec’s natural beauty, and create unforgettable memories on the roads of our vast territory?

First, What Is an Adventure Motorcycle?

The main advantage of an adventure motorcycle is its dual-sport capability: it rides just as well on fast highways as on rough gravel roads, off-road trails, or backcountry tracks. A properly equipped adventure bike comes with knobby tires, protective gear, and a large fuel tank; these are powerful machines that remain extremely comfortable and sporty—even when fully loaded. Picture yourself leaving the highway behind, passing through remote villages, diving into a Wildlife Reserve, and riding for hours between lakes, forests, and wildlife. A trail soaked by a beaver dam or a sandy path? No problem… That’s what we call getting off the beaten path!

Experienced rider and seasoned camper: tips for independent adventure riding

Planning a self-supported expedition in remote areas means anticipating and following essential rules. Identify fuel stops in advance and increase your tank capacity if needed. Make sure you’re confident using your GPS, and bring paper maps as a backup; consider a satellite communication device too. Finally, practice your off-road riding techniques before heading out! Need a full camping kit? Rent a lightweight and compact one from Locapaq. Note: rental motorcycles are not permitted on trails.

Now, here’s a great idea for an epic road trip: the 51° Expedition, a spectacular loop starting from the Côte-Nord—offering guaranteed escape and wild landscapes over more than 1,700 km.

Eco-conscious – Budget-friendly

With minimal fuel consumption for long distances, two-wheel travel is a great option—for both your budget and your environmental impact. And if you ride two-up and camp along the way, you’re fully embracing nature and sustainable tourism.

Don’t worry about bad weather or minimalism—there’s highly efficient gear designed for adventure motorcycling. Even better, check out our training activities to help you prepare!

Bike trip: one step closer to true adventure

Talking about a road trip already sparks dreams of freedom and escape. But on a motorcycle, the crisp morning air, salty sea spray, and the scent of forests always surround you… That’s the unique bonus riding brings! That narrow path to Lac aux Outardes now feels like a call to adventure, and if you’re lucky, you might even have a moose trotting beside you.

If that gave you chills and you’re itching to set off on an adventure bike ride, get in touch with B46 Adventures to find the off-road activity that suits you.
