2026 Coming Soon
Highlights from 2025
Our very first Adventure Skills Challenge brought riders together
for a full day of fun, friendly competition, and off-road skills.
This is not a training — it’s a challenge
Think you can handle your ADV bike when precision matters most?
The Wheels Guru Adventure Skills Challenge is your chance to prove it. Inspired by the International BMW GS Trophy Qualifiers, this one-day event is designed for riders of large adventure and dual-sport motorcycles who want to test their skill level in a safe, competitive setting.
Organized by multip BMW Intrenational GS Trophy Marshal and Multi-brand Adventure Motorcycle trainer - Shahnawaz Karim
Why this challenge matters?
The truth is: the bike and gear can only take you so far.
The biggest difference is your control, balance, and precision when the terrain gets tricky.
That’s why the Adventure Skills Challenge exists. It gives riders a safe, structured way to:
Find out how skilled they really are.
Compete head-to-head with other ADV riders.
Build confidence for real-world adventure riding
This event is about testing yourself. At the end of the day, the only thing between you and the ride ahead isn’t the machine — it’s your skills.
What to expect?
A full day of challenges focused on slow-speed precision and control:
Scoring System
1 point = Dab (foot down)
2 points = Border touch
3 points = Drop
10 points = Did Not Finish (DNF)
Disqualification = Misconduct
Final standings = mistakes + time from the slow race.
