Did you just get a new adventure or dual-sport bike and can't wait to hit the TET, the ACT, or any other event or known track around your area?
The Express training is for you!
In our Express training, we have compressed almost six days of training into two, so you can be ready to hit the trails faster.
Because it is physically impossible to teach 48 hours of techniques, tricks, and tips in 16 hours, this training follows an exceptionally unique schedule.
We will cover the basics such as:
- Triangular position
- Emergency braking
- Cornering
- Hills
While explaining to you:
- The safety envelope this training will provide
- Clear instructions on what you can practice on your own afterward to continue improving
- Basic principles of more advanced maneuvers so you are aware of what lies ahead
With a clear understanding of basic techniques and what will be needed to evolve, you will know exactly what you understand and what you don't, giving you a bigger safety net to start your off-road adventures.
As we are condensing a considerable amount of information into only two days, this training is one of the most physically intense in our curriculum, with a much higher class cadence than usual.
However, you don't need to be super fit or an athlete to complete our Express training successfully; anyone can do it. That being said, be prepared for two high-intensity days with few rest stops and a great deal of information delivered.
To achieve our training goals, you will have less time to practice per exercise, and activities like ergonomic adjustments will be skipped, although they will be taught and discussed.
If you are eager to start riding and don't want to lose a second of off-road fun or any part of the teaching that will help you reach your goals, then this training is exactly what you've been searching for!
Regarding tires, we strongly recommend a 50-50 tire, with no need for serious knobbies.
Our Express training includes two full training days from 09:00 to 16:00 at our Enduro Camp facility in the Alentejo.
The value includes:
- Two lunches
- Water and snacks during the class
- Experienced and certified Enduro instructor
Our class does NOT include:
- Sleeping arrangements, although we can recommend a hotel we work with
- Gasoline
- Dinner and breakfast, which can be provided by the hotel as part of their service
- Bike rentals. We do not rent or arrange bikes for training at this point.
- Personal accident insurance for the training days
As with all our training, if you have any questions you would like answered before booking, send us an e-mail, and we will be more than happy to help!
Classification:

Verify the classes of terrains and rider rating system for more information.
Dates:
As long as the weather allows, we work year-round and to make it easier, we have one scheduled group class per month.
It is also possible to open a new date on request. Dates requested outside our regular calendar will always be subject to a higher fee than regular scheduled trainings, which does not guarantee a private class.
Group classes usually accommodate up to 6 riders. If you have your own group of more than 6, please get in touch.
Check our available dates, and if there are no available dates when you want or need them, contact us.
Languages:
There is nothing worse than attending a class to learn something, only to realize you and your instructor cannot understand each other. We know this from experience, both as instructors and students.
With this in mind, we decided to stick to what we know best, so our classes are conducted in both Portuguese and/or English.
Conditions:
Everything has rules, and our training sessions and tours are no different. Let's go over what you need to know to attend this training.
You will need:
- At least a 50-50 tire, designated as such by its respective manufacturer (recommended)
- An integral helmet that is not modular
- Protective gloves
- A suit or assorted protective gear capable of protecting your back, upper, and lower limbs
- Mid-calf or full-calf boots, preferably off-road biased
If you have any doubts about the gear or tires, let us know before you sign up for the class. Our instructors and guides have the right to refuse your participation in any of our activities, without reimbursement, if you do not present yourself with the minimum required safety gear.
Regarding gasoline, it is important to know that our Enduro Camp is 15 minutes away from the closest gas station, and we do not store extra gasoline at the camp.
This means that it is your responsibility to arrive with a full tank, or enough for at least 100 km (60 miles) before the start of any activity.
The minimum quantity of fuel may vary depending on the activity, but it will always be disclosed to you beforehand.
Even though we strive to be flexible, due to the distance from the gas station, and out of respect for the instructors and other participants, we generally cannot delay the start of any activity due to a participant's lack of fuel. Additionally, there is no guarantee that any staff member will be available to escort you to the fuel station.
So, get your bike fueled up, get your gear on, and come enjoy this incredible training!
