Know the people behind Eleven Riders
At Eleven Riders, we create motorcycle adventure trips in some of the world’s most unique destinations. Our journey began in 2013, creating motorcycle adventures through remarkable locations such as the Sahara Desert (Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, Senegal), Europe (Romania, the Alps, Pyrenees, Spain), and Central Asia (Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan). In the summer of 2024, after years of crafting motorcycle experiences, we launched Eleven Riders. Our first trip under the Eleven Riders name will take place in Kyrgyzstan in July 2025.
