Motul ADV Experience Adds a Second Round at NJMPATV.comATV.com StaffFri, September 18, 2026 at 11:28 PM UTCAdd us on Googlemotul adv experience adds a second round at njmp, moto americamoto americaAdventure riders who want saddle time on real off-road terrain get a second shot this season. The Motul ADV Experience is expanding for 2026, returning to Virginia International Raceway and adding a new round at New Jersey Motorsports Park, according to Powersports Business.The program, tied to the MotoAmerica calendar, is built around adventure bikes and skills training rather than spectating from the fence. For riders who use their machines for hunting access, backcountry exploring, or just chewing up trail on weekends, the format leans practical: real obstacles, real coaching, and terrain you can put a bike through.What Riders Get On-SiteThe centerpiece at both venues is the ADV Village, open to all ticket holders. That's where leading industry manufacturers set up shop, giving shoppers a chance to see hardware in one place.AdvertisementAdvertisementRegistered ADV participants get more. The program includes a dedicated camping area, purpose-built slow-speed obstacle courses, and professional clinics run by Dragoo Adventure Rider Training. The slow-speed work matters - tight, low-speed control is where most riders struggle when the pavement ends, and it's the skill that keeps a loaded adventure bike upright on a rutted two-track.The Off-Road LoopsEach venue offers its own guided ride. VIR has a 7.5-mile off-road mini-adventure loop, while NJMP debuts a new 5-mile course. Both are led by rally expert Christian Dutcher.The two sites also sit close to strong regional riding. VIR puts riders near the Blue Ridge Parkway, and NJMP offers quick access to the pine barrens - sandy, wooded terrain that's a legitimate proving ground for adventure machines.Dates and LocationsThe Virginia round runs Aug. 14–16, and the New Jersey round follows Sept. 25–27. Adding NJMP effectively doubles the chances for East Coast riders to get in on structured training without traveling cross-country.AdvertisementAdvertisementAmber Bates, general manager of Motul North America, framed the expansion around the demands adventure riding places on a bike."Adventure riding puts extreme demands on a bike…tight off-road loops, dusty trails and high heat operation, which is where Motul lubricants really excel," Bates said. "We're thrilled to expand to NJMP and help riders build skills at both of these iconic venues."The heat and dust point is worth taking seriously. Sustained low-speed off-road work generates engine heat without much airflow, and it's the kind of duty cycle that separates good lubrication from marginal. Anyone who has run a machine hard on a hot, dusty loop knows the difference.The Practical ReadFor working riders and weekend explorers alike, the appeal here is straightforward. The ADV Village gives shoppers a look at current gear, the clinics deliver coaching from trainers who do this for a living, and the guided loops let riders test skills on terrain they don't have to scout themselves. Pairing the event with the Blue Ridge Parkway or the pine barrens turns a single weekend into a longer riding trip.AdvertisementAdvertisementSpace is limited at both venues. Riders can register directly through MotoAmerica's website.The verdict for anyone within range: two dates on the East Coast, professional slow-speed instruction, and dedicated off-road loops make this a worthwhile stop for riders who want to sharpen real-world capability, not just kick tires in a paddock.
