Ducati Riding Experience Adventure Academy expands its Australian programme in 2024

• Fan-favourite Adventure Academy ride series returns with activities in central and northern NSW and Victoria
• Western Australia included for the first time with a Perth-based programme

Sydney, (Australia), December 21, 2023 –Following recent news that it will hold the Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) Adventure Academy in New Zealand for the first time, Ducati Australia is pleased to announce details of its expanded series with a programme of events covering more Australian states than ever before. 

Covering the eastern seaboard, the DRE Adventure Academy will return to Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales, but for the first time in 2024, Western Australia clients and fans in Perth will also be able to take part. 

The DRE Adventure Academy is the riding course designed for Ducati adventure enthusiasts who want to learn all the secrets of on and off-road riding by fully experiencing the qualities of Ducati bikes, in particular, the new DesertX or the Multistrada range. 

The Adventure Academy provides attendees the opportunity to unlock new skills and discover the secrets of the adventuring world: from the right body position, to learning the most effective riding techniques, to the correct loading of bags and the repair of a damaged tyre. 

Ducati Product Expert and Adventure Academy Chief Instructor, Nick Selleck, who recently completed the ‘un-Finkeable’, ridiing the Finke Desert Race track twice in one day using one tank of fuel on a DesertX, explained why the series continually proves so popular. 

“The DRE Adventure Academy is designed to give our most passionate Ducatisti the chance to learn and experience adventure riding in its most natural form, and it’s great to be able to expand our offering in 2024 by opening our unique DRE mixed-road classroom to WA-based Ducatisti as well,” Selleck said. 

“Ducati’s approach to the Adventure Academy series has always been about things being better experienced than explained. And while we do cover the technical aspects throughout the programme, our guests are able to put these lessons to the test themselves to really lock-in that new-found knowledge,” he continued. 

The DRE Adventure Academy programme runs for two days with the first day dedicated to theoretical explanation and practice drills of technical exercises to gain the right confidence in off-road riding. The second day includes a tour of public roads with both on-road and off-road sections in real world terrain.

Each location uses venues that offer access to suitable riding terrain to progress riders’ skills, while also offering a chance to sample each region’s local food and wine when the day is done. 

The cost of the programme is AUD $945 with lunch included both days and dinner at a local restaurant at the end of day one.
