Ultimate Overland Moto Build
2024 Ural
Gear up Standard
Each year, the Overland Expo team selects a motorcycle that highlights the ADV Moto lifestyle. Then the bike is outfitted with the best motorcycle gear of the year. The build will travel to all four Overland Expo events and many more before it’s placed on bringatrailer.com for auction. The highest bidder will take home their dream rig and 100% of the proceeds go to the Overland Expo Foundation Grant programs.
