RAWHYDE Moto Adventures is the official BMW Off-Road Motorcycle Training Academy and one of the most established adventure motorcycle training companies in the country. Since 2002, RAWHYDE has helped thousands of riders build the confidence, control, and real-world skills needed to safely enjoy BDR routes and other backcountry adventures.
RAWHYDE offers multi-day adventure motorcycle training programs for riders of all levels, from newer ADV riders preparing for their first off-pavement experience to experienced riders looking to sharpen technique before tackling more challenging terrain.
Training focuses on the practical skills needed for backcountry travel, including body position, balance, clutch and throttle control, braking, hill climbs and descents, sand, rocks, ruts, line choice, recovery techniques, and overall motorcycle management.
RAWHYDE operates from its flagship facility in Southern California and relocates to Colorado during the summer months, giving riders access to cooler weather, mountain terrain, alpine passes, forest roads, and real-world conditions similar to those found on BDR routes.
In addition to traditional training camps, RAWHYDE offers training-tours that combine professional instruction with guided backcountry riding, helping riders apply new skills in real terrain with professional support.
With on-site lodging, chef-prepared meals, motorcycle rentals, and a strong community atmosphere, RAWHYDE delivers a “soup to nuts” ADV training experience both on and off the bike.
