If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the trails with your mates, camping under the stars, and pushing yourself on a bike in a fun, festival-style atmosphere, Transmoto 8-Hour events are the place to do it. Born from a passion for grassroots off-road riding, Transmoto events are as much about community as they are about competition. Think of it as part enduro, part camping trip, part mates’ weekend away and you’ll be pretty close to what they are.
So, how does it all work? It’s simple, really. Riders from all walks of life – be it first-timers, weekend warriors or seasoned trail veterans – come together at one of Transmoto’s carefully chosen locations across NSW, VIC and QLD. Riders form teams of three or four, although there are Ironman and Pairs classes for those keen to go it alone or as a duo. No motorcycle licence is required, but you’ll need to be at least 16 years old and have a registered or permitted off-road bike, no exceptions.
The action kicks off on Saturday with rider registration, scrutineering and the chance to set up your campsite. Many make it a social occasion, with barbecues, tunes and campfire stories flowing late into the night.
Sunday is when the riding begins, with competitors taking on a flowing 15–18km 20 to 30-minute loop of mixed terrain; think fast fire trails, single track, climbs, descents and open paddocks. The format is designed to be achievable, not intimidating, with timed laps tallying up across the day. Transmoto also runs a dedicated Ladies Loop and the National Motorcycle Insurance Junior Loop (ages 9-15, 6 to 8km), ensuring the fun is open to everyone.
The whole idea is to ride as much or as little as you like, swap with your teammates when you’re ready and soak up the atmosphere. Mechanical prep, fuel management and pit stops become part of the adventure, adding a taste of real enduro racing without the pressure of chasing a championship.
Joining in couldn’t be easier. You register online, grab some mates, load up the trailer and bring along your camping gear. Don’t stress if you’re not a hardcore racer, Transmoto is about participation, laughs and memories as much as lap times. The pits are buzzing, the trails are epic and the sense of camaraderie is something special.
National Motorcycle Insurance is proud to be the Official Insurance Partner of Transmoto Enduro Events, supporting grassroots riding and celebrating the unique culture that makes off-road motorcycling so addictive to many of us. As riders ourselves, we know it’s about more than just bikes.
