2025 Sinnis Terrain 380

Engine Size	Power	Seat Height	Weight	Price
18L	36.5hp	820mm	200kg	£4,495

Starting off the list today, we have a surprisingly capable and budget-friendly A2 adventure bike that we managed to get our hands on a few years back. Sinnis continues to deliver affordable yet well-equipped bikes, and the Terrain 380 is a brilliant example.  

This 380 cc twin-cylinder is built for riders who want the adventure vibe without the adventure-sized price tag. Packed with a 36.5bhp and top speeds of up to 92mph, it comes with impressive features such as a large fuel tank, ideal for longer journeys as well as lockable luggage to keep all your riding gear and personal belongings safe and to top it off. 

Now, by all means, it’s no powerhouse in comparison to some of the other models mentioned, but with a solid build and all the essentials it is certainly a dependable partner in crime for tackling all paths you may cross…and to be honest, if you’re new to riding or looking for a lightweight ride the Terrain 380 is the perfect suit.  

At £4,495 can you say no?

Next up, we’ve got the Zontes ZT 350-17, a sleek, tech-packed A2 adventure bike ready to hit the urban roads.

This 350cc machine may be on the lighter side, but don’t let that fool you - it’s loaded with plenty of features and ready for the enthusiastic explorer or everyday commuter.  

In terms of tech you will find keyless ignition, multiple riding modes and Bosch EFI System, all making for a controlled and safe ride. Pair that with its sporty stance, and the ZT 350-17 is more agile on paved roads than some bulkier adventure bikes, making it a top pick for those craving adventure without straying too far from the road - yep, you read that right. 

For 2025, you will be able to get your hands on all of this for the price of £4,499, an absolute no-brainer in my eyes!

17.2L	33hp	835mm	207kg	£8,995

Next up, here we have the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 - a true premium adventure bike that with a restrictor kit, is in fact ready for all the A2 riders who can’t quite compromise on big bike feels.

Powered by Triumph's well-balanced, liquid-cooled 660cc triple-cylinder engine, it provides smooth responsive power delivery and the iconic raspy sound that Tiger fans just can’t get enough of. Also loaded with a standard fit quick shifter, cornering ABS, and dual riding modes, this bike is definitely a safe and controlled ride.

The Tiger Sport 660 has dynamic handling to be stable on the speedier roads and confident turning corners. The TFF display and the Triumph connectivity system also ensure that you can stay connected without taking your eyes off the road.

So, if you eventually want to grow into an unrestricted licence rider, this one could be for you. However, be prepared to invest that bit more as this adventure sits at the price of £8,995 but like I said earlier, if you can’t sacrifice power and quality it does come at a hefty cost!

Swinging in at seven is the Benelli TRK 502, super big on presence without breaking the bank.  

With its 500cc, 47bhp twin-cylinder engine it's not the fastest bike out there, but that's all part of the charm. This bike is all about enjoying the journey, not racing through it.

The TRK handles well on both city streets and light off-road trails with an adjustable windshield to keep the wind at bay, helping you glide down the roads. The wider set handlebars and plush seat make sure you are kept comfortable whilst doing so.

2025 Mondial Mud 452

Engine Size	Power	Seat Height	Weight	Price
17.5L	47hp	890mm	175kg	£TBC

At number five we have the new 2025 icon, otherwise known as the Mondial Mud 452, which was unveiled at EICMA.  

The all-Italian collaboration reinforces Mondials' commitment to elegance and advanced tech, bringing an extremely cool and rugged look with its slight retro styling and sturdy build - thanks to our friend Rodolfo Frascoli.  

Powered by its 450cc twin-cylinder engine, alongside its 17.5-litre fuel tank, it makes it easier to tackle longer and more challenging routes. It even has a split design, meaning fuel can be carried lower, enhancing the centre of gravity in this bike.  

The Mud 452 will have you feeling like a true explorer, and to put it simply, this is for all of you that want a bike that feels as tough as it looks. Now I know you’re probably wondering about the price point of this one, and unfortunately, the price is yet to be revealed for this one on the website, however it is readily available in Europe for around £5,300 so I'd expect it be something similar when we do find out.  

• Largest capacity engine in current FB Mondial range
• Lighter than other competitors 

• New model from a smaller manufacturer could mean availability is limited

Engine Size	Power	Seat Height	Weight	Price

17L	39.5hp	825-845mm	196kg	£6,250

Kicking off our top three today, we have the all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.

Since its unveiling, this bike has been gaining attention for its perfect blend of both off-road and on-road riding capabilities. The 452cc, 40hp engine makes it powerful enough for genuine adventure riding.  

With a bigger front wheel combination, it makes the Himalayan surprisingly capable on uneven paths. It’s built around a reliable, long travel suspension system with 200mm of travel, optimised for dirtying up rough trails.  

The 450 sits at around the £6,250 mark, and it seems this price point is a sweet spot for those mid-range adventure bikes. You really are getting yourself a strong bike without the hefty price tag of some of the higher-end models.

2025 BMW Concept F450 GS

Engine Size	Power	Seat Height	Weight	Price
14L	48hp	885mm	175kg	£TBC

We can always count on BMW to offer us a top-quality, stunning bike, and this time, we have the NEW and upcoming F450 GS concept, a bike due to hit the market this year (at some point). 

 The 450cc engine balances both power and fuel efficiency for quick trips or longer journeys, and in doing so, its lightweight frame makes it easier to ride down twisty trails, and dirty tracks. Better yet, thanks to its advanced suspension it is ready to encounter any bumps and jolts that come in its way.  

 BMW has packed this one full of advanced riding mode features, allowing the rider to switch between different settings for optimal traction and response. This bike is pretty much set to handle anything all with a touch of BMW’s signature style, and as you can see from the photo it’s definitely not shy of good looks.  

 While the price hasn’t been released yet, taking a look at some of BMW’s other models we can take a rough estimate at the price point falling somewhere around the £7,000 mark which is a bit more than most of the A2 adventures on my list however, can we be surprised when it’s this good?  

• Lightweight design
• Rally design inspired
• Reputable brand

• Concept status meaning it is likely to change
• Likely to be high in price along with maintenance

 The XL750 is the perfect blend of comfort, power, and reliability, and of course, it also makes sure its on and off-road capability hits the mark. This mid-size adventure bike boasts a 755cc engine, completely knocking it out of the ballpark!
