Скачать или смотреть Desert & Mountain Adventure | With The KTM 390 Adventure R, Ibex 450, and Himalayan 450

Southern California doesn’t hand you adventure — you have to go looking for it.

In the winter of 2026, we left the gridlock of Los Angeles behind and pointed three lightweight adventure motorcycles toward the mountains and desert: the KTM 390 Adventure R, CFMOTO Ibex 450, and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.

Our route took us from endless freeway miles to the high-altitude trails of Holcomb Valley, the ghostly remains of Belleville’s gold rush past, the old Rim of the World Highway, and deep into the Mojave Desert to the Integratron and Giant Rock. Pavement gave way to sand. Smooth sweepers turned into rock-strewn climbs. History lingered at every stop.

This wasn’t just a spec-sheet comparison — it was a real-world adventure ride across Southern California terrain.

From mountain air at 7,500 feet to desert sand and forgotten highways, these three small-displacement ADV bikes proved something important: adventure doesn’t require excess. It requires the right tool — and the willingness to take the long way around.

Because in Southern California, the ride to the trail is part of the adventure.
