The Latest Breaking News from RideApart

One of my biggest fears, one that I have personal experience with, is going into the woods, getting into trouble, and not being able to communicate with the outside world. Don't get me wrong, I go into the woods so I don't have to communicate with the outside world. It's…

These days, you could say that South Korea kills it in cars and electronics—Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, LG… you name it. But motorcycles? Well, that’s a bit of a different story. Unlike Japan, which dominates the global bike scene, South Korea never really cracked the two-wheeled market. One brand that’s been…

You could say that LiveWire has always had a bit of an identity crisis. It was originally launched as the first all-electric model under the Harley brand, a symbol of its daringness to venture into the world of electrification. But not long after, it was spun off into its own…

King of the Hammers is, for lack of a better word, batshit. For those who've never heard of it, it's an off-road race in California's Johnson Valley, and marries rock crawling with flat-out open desert racing. There's nothing else on the planet like King of the Hammers. 

Airoh’s a helmet brand you may have never heard of. But chances are, you will soon enough, as the brand has set up shop in the US. The Italian manufacturer sort of sits in the middle of the road when it comes to price, making affordable lids with tech and…

I've been fortunate to ride a lot of very fast, very sketchy machines. From turbocharged two-stroke backcountry snowmobiles, to superbikes with over 200 horsepower, and everything in between, speed and horsepower don't usually phase me.

Royal Enfield is a vibe. It’s a brand that dares to ignore numbers on a spec sheet, and instead, focus on the more intangible side of motorcycling—stuff like emotion, experience, and self-expression. Pretty much all of Royal Enfield’s bikes are embodiments of this, and judging from the success the brand’s…

Last year, the English-speaking motorcycle internet was awash in a sea of "what on earth is CFMoto thinking?" Why, you might ask? Because that's when a patent application that the OEM had applied for back in 2022 was published, and that patent appeared to be one for a seatbelt and…

"Loud pipes save lives" is a divisive statement, even in the motorcycle community. I believe, under certain circumstances, loud pipes could actually prevent some accidents and potentially death. In Ireland, where I spent my formative years riding, lane splitting is legal, but motorcycles aren't common, so drivers aren't always on…

There's a danger in going too fast if you're wrenching, and I'm not just talking about making an accidental extra blood sacrifice to the garage gods. 

Few motorcycles have achieved the legendary status of the Honda Gold Wing. It’s taken the heavyweight tourer five decades to become this good; long after first hitting the scene way back in 1975. Honda even goes as far as saying that it invented the entire touring category with the Gold…
