WHO ARE WE
The Spark
In the wake of the sudden surge in popularity of Royal Enfield Motorcycles and Ladakh Expeditions, there was an exponential growth in rider groups nationwide. This led to a saturation of many destinations, with riders and travelers thronging every corner.
In response to this surge, there emerged a quest to connect with like-minded, solitude-seeking riders. After a three-year odyssey exploring numerous obscure locales both with groups and on his own, Madhav chanced upon Vinu and Sachin, who mirrored his fervor for motorcycles and uncharted territories.
Following a series of exhilarating motorcycle jaunts together, the need for a storyteller became evident. Enter Suhas. In May 2018, RIDE was formally established.
Since then, we’ve curated an array of experiences including Family Tours, Honeymoon Tours, and Adventure Tours spanning various destinations across the country and the subcontinent. Additionally, we offer consultation and guidance to clients planning solo tours, ensuring a safe and memorable journey.
Diverging from the mainstream motorcycle groups in the country, whose primary aim is often centered around inundating renowned destinations,sometimes straining their capacity, all in pursuit of financial gains, the Ride concept presents a refreshing departure. It embodies a philosophy that embraces sustainable, experiential travel, promising a journey that transcends the ordinary.

CONCEPTION
RIDE was envisioned in 2014-2015. Our first ride to Rann of Kutch opened us to new boundaries in Motorcycling sphere.
The Ride journey began as an Independent Motorcycling Community, dedicated to the twin goals of popularizing uncharted destinations and promoting responsible riding. At Ride, we’re committed to revolutionizing motorcycle tours to cater to riders of all levels and preferences. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then let us craft a narrative worth penning down.
For the past five years, we’ve been orchestrating captivating tours spanning the breadth of our country. Since 2014, we’ve been focusing on hidden gems like the Rann of Kutch, Punjab, Tirthan Valley, Kinnaur, Eastern Uttarakhand, Southern Rajasthan, as well as numerous lesser-known destinations in North East India. In May 2018, we formally established Ride.
In our quest to explore new horizons, we’ve extended our influence to enchanting locales like Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal, among other international destinations. To better serve our growing community, we’ve inaugurated branch offices in Kerala and New Delhi, and we’re currently poised to introduce a fresh segment of Euro Tours, with a base in Northern Germany.
FOCUS
Our paramount goal revolves around delivering top-tier rides that are tailored for an unforgettable experience, particularly for clients hailing from the vibrant South Indian States. Headquartered in Chennai, our Motorcycle Tours division serves as the hub of our operations. Over the years, we’ve curated exceptional Bike Tours, extending our services to clients in Chennai, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, and Kochi.
Rather than pursuing quantity in terms of riders, we staunchly believe in prioritizing quality. This philosophy has guided us in not only accommodating larger groups but also in offering one-on-one tours, ensuring that each client receives personalized attention. This approach not only caters to seasoned riders but also extends a warm welcome to amateurs and those seeking their inaugural taste of a motorcycle tour.

- You live more in 5 minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in their lifetime.

- If you don’t go when you want to go, when you do go, you’ll find you’ve gone.
- “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…”
