BMW Motorrad ADV-X Rally Returns to British Columbia
The BMW Motorrad ADV-X rally is set to return this summer, offering GS riders an all-new point-to-point adventure through the mountains of British Columbia. This year's event features a guided route from Calgary, Alberta, to Kelowna, British Columbia, promising an expedition-like experience with comprehensive support.
BMW Motorrad has announced the return of its ADV-X rally, inviting GS motorcycle enthusiasts to explore a new, curated route through the stunning landscapes of British Columbia this summer. Unlike previous iterations that involved day loops, the 2026 ADV-X adopts a point-to-point format, starting in Calgary, Alberta, and concluding in Kelowna, British Columbia, as summer transitions to fall in the Rockies.
This redesigned adventure aims to provide a true expedition feel, with participants flying into one major city and departing from another. The event is tailored for GS riders of varying skill levels and includes a robust package of support and amenities. Highlights feature expert-guided riding groups, on-site technical assistance from BMW Motorrad technicians, and an all-inclusive experience covering six nights of accommodation, daily meals, and event programming. All necessary fuel and trailside support are also provided.
For those traveling from a distance, transportation for participants' GS motorcycles is available from select BMW Motorrad retailers. Additionally, riders looking to hone their off-road capabilities can opt for a pre-event training day led by certified BMW Motorrad Off-Road Instructors. While the rally involves hotel stays rather than camping, this structured and supported journey through some of North America's most scenic terrain offers a compelling adventure for those seeking a premium riding experience.
