RIDE TUNISIA (a motorbike adventure to the desert)

RIDE TUNISIA (a motorbike adventure to the desert)

This is the first motorbike expedition of our world tour — and we’re kicking it off in Tunisia.

We’re traveling with our good friends Chris and Jaime, the founders of the travel gear brand Matador. Not only are they part of this journey, but they’ve also equipped us with some top-tier gear we’re testing around the globe (Check out their gear here: https://alnk.to/a42nDqX)

From the turquoise shores of the Mediterranean to the golden dunes of the Sahara, we ride our Ducati DesertX deep into southern Tunisia — chasing sand, silence, and the unexpected.

We came for the open desert and wild, endless landscapes…
But what we found was so much more:
Hidden citadels carved into mountain cliffs.
Kind strangers in remote villages.
A lost oasis shimmering under desert sun.
And roads that twist through ancient, rugged mountains.

In just one week, we pushed the limits — of our bikes and ourselves.
We rescued a baby goat.
We slept on an original Star Wars set.
And we uncovered stories that only the desert can tell.

This is more than a motorbike ride.
It’s a journey we’ll never forget.

Let’s go.
