How to prepare your bike—and your body—for high altitude

High roads reward patience more than horsepower. Build margin into the machine, the itinerary and yourself.

Plan for the conditions, not the postcard

Remote travel works best when the route leaves room for weather, fatigue, local advice and changing access. Confirm critical details close to departure and keep the people travelling with you informed.

Three things to remember

• Acclimatise before the biggest pass
• Service the motorcycle early enough for a real test ride
• Carry model-specific tools and protect your rest time
