Tenerife is adventure country. In a single day you ride from the Atlantic through the Anaga cloud forest up into the moonscape on Teide: temperature, bend radius and surface change constantly. That’s exactly what the travel enduro is made for: you sit high and look over the bends, the long suspension travel irons out rough tarmac, and the range easily covers an island loop.
The big travel enduros from 1,000cc up are the classic here; the middleweights around 500 to 700cc are lighter and more playful. You’re also set up for the few permitted tracks in the backcountry, but be careful: off-road riding is strictly forbidden in Teide National Park.
The big models need the full A. Middleweight enduros are available as A2 versions.
Ideal for
- Two-up to Teide — with luggage and comfort above 2,000 metres
- An island loop in a day, from sea to highland
- Riders who want to sit high and look over the road
- Long stages without fuel-stop stress
