North Island Rumble — Beyond the Beaten Path.
Leave the tarmac behind. Smash the boundaries of comfort. This is the North Island Rumble — an experience crafted for the fearless, the driven, and the throttle-obsessed. Over 1,300 kilometers of pure off-road adrenaline, with 65% of the journey on dirt, gravel, and untamed wilderness. It’s your chance to claim New Zealand’s North Island like never before.
Brace yourself for dust on your face, mud-caked boots, and landscapes that challenge every ounce of your skill and nerve. Each day promises a new ride: twisted trails, rugged ascents and breathtaking views that demand your attention.
You’ll ride with full support — your gear following in the support vehicle, waiting for you at our pre-arranged lodgings. Refuel, recharge, and share epic tales with fellow adventurers before setting off again for another day of untamed exploration.
This isn’t a getaway. It’s a proving ground — testing your endurance, your grit, and your passion for the wild, raw beauty of the ride.
Ready to dig deeper, push harder, and emerge stronger than ever? Let’s ride. Five days. No excuses. Just dirt.
