April 2024

In this issue, we review the updated Royal Enfield Himalayan, a 450cc adventure bike we tested in the Himalayas of northern India.

Kickstarts has first looks at the new 2025 CFMOTO Ibex 450 adventure bike and 450CL-C cruiser, the new 2024 Moto Morini Calibro cruiser, and the updated 2024 Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorers.

As the spring riding season gets underway, we help you prepare with our Buyers Guide showcasing cool gear and products, as well as our semi-annual Rides & Destinations Guide to help you find your next motorcycle getaway.

This issue includes three On the Road features about Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Route 66 in Arizona, and great roads in Alaska. And our Favorite Ride is a scenic loop ride around Casa Grande, Arizona.

Our Exhaust Note comes from Grace Butcher, Rider’s first female columnist, and Quinn Redeker discusses cornering techniques in Motor School. Celebrating Rider’s 50th anniversary, our Rider Rewind section showcases some of our favorite ads from 1974 to 1999.
