IMTBIKE ROUTE rating
It is essential to know the different skill levels needed to participate in the IMTBIKE TOURS that are offered to you. IMTBIKE makes sure that it offers different tours for all riding styles and levels. The IMTBIKE team always works diligently in designing our routes. This is a laborious process which entails reviewing all road choices before selecting the best option for an IMTBIKE tour.
The most experienced motorcyclists looks for roads that require technical skill; narrow twisty roads with little traffic and endless curves. But these same roads would be too difficult for a less experienced rider.
The local driving habits, the amount of traffic, the asphalt quality and the radius of the curves vary considerably from country to country and even in different regions of the same country. They will also vary depending on the season of the year. All of these factors have been studied by IMTBIKE and have been taken into consideration when rating our tours.
IMTBIKE thinks it is also important to know about the different types of roads you will be enjoying on your tour. To understand the road types easier, IMTBIKE has divided them into two categories, and we have calculated an approximate percentage of each on all of our tours.
- TOURING ROADS: These are wider roads comprised mainly of larger radius sweepers. They are still curvy roads but not tight mountainous twisty curves. Please remember that you will ride very few straight roads on IMTBIKE tours!
- CHALLENGING ROADS: These are roads that are tight twisty turns which require more technical skill. Many times they will be narrower roads without a shoulder and sometimes with steep inclines or descents. Normally they will be mountainous roads accompanied by spectacular sceneries.
If you have never ridden a motorcycle outside of your country, or if you have little experience riding on mountain roads with many curves, we recommend that you choose a tour rated moderate or intermediate. If you have any questions or doubts please do not hesitate to call or email us. We are always happy to answer your questions to make sure that you choose the best tour for your riding level.
Moderate
This route offers wider sweeping turns that are easy to maneuver. This route may have some tighter turns in a few places but this will be the exception. Regardless, even on moderate tours you must be able to ride a large cylinder motorcycle in any condition. Never plan to learn how to ride a motorcycle on an IMTBIKE tour. We recommend having a minimum of 8.000 km (5.000 miles) of experience riding a large cylinder motorcycle to participate on a MODERATE rated IMTBIKE Tour and you should ride a motorcycle on a regular basis at home.
Intermediate
This route rating can have sections of very twisty curves on narrow roads with no center line to divide the road. There will also wider radius curves on these routes. Traffic conditions can be intense at times in some urban environments and the local driving habits may seem aggressive and unpredictable to you. It is imperative that you are an experienced motorcyclist. We recommend that you have a minimum of 12.000 km (7500 miles) of large cylinder motorcycle experience to participate on a INTERMEDIATE rated IMTBIKE Tour and you should ride a motorcycle on a regular basis at home.
Advanced
This route rating has long sections of technical narrow twisty roads and sometimes single lane roads. These twisty roads will often be in mountains where steep inclines and descents will be commonplace. Some riding days can be long and challenging. Traffic conditions can be intense at times in some urban environments and the local driving habits may seem aggressive and unpredictable to you. It is imperative that you are a very experienced motorcyclist on a large cylinder motorcycle. We recommend that you have a minimum of 16.000 km (10.000 miles) of large cylinder motorcycle experience on an ADVANCE rated IMTBIKE Tour and of course you should ride a motorcycle on a regular basis at home.
IMTBIKE Average Daily Riding Hours
5 to 7 hours
6 to 8 hours
7 to 9 hours
How many hours a day you ride on a tour is important information in helping you decide on the right IMTBIKE tour for you. Some tour members want to ride as many hours as possible everyday, while others prefer to stop more frequently and dedicate more time to enjoying the scenery, visiting cultural sights and arrive at the hotel earlier to relax before dinner. The daily riding hours are calculated including the coffee breaks and photo stops but they do not include the time taken for lunch.
Normally we’ll start our riding day at 9:30am and we will take about a one hour lunch break sometime between 1pm and 2pm. So if the daily riding hours for a given tour are 5-7, then you will arrive at the hotel between 3:30pm- 5:30pm depending on the average speed of the group.

Upon reaching the banks of the Ebro River bank, we’ll stop for the evening at a great hotel.

Day 3: Ribera del Ebro - Sierra del Maestrazgo
Today we will ride our motorcycle on beautiful hidden mountain roads that even the majority of Spanish motorcyclists have never been on. These local roads boast endless curves, with incredible asphalt and almost non-existent traffic. You’ll ride through rugged landscape of lush forests and some spectacular canyons that will lead us to our destination in the middle of these mountains.
-
Day 4: Sierra del Maestrazgo - Valencia
On our way to Valencia we will take more rural roads through unpopulated areas, outside the tourist routes. You’ll see small beautiful villages in dramatic landscapes surrounded by cultivated fields. These backroads are of incredible quality and they run through valleys over mountains and follow rivers. Before reaching our destination for the evening, those who want to can stop by the Valencia racetrack to see the official classifications.

Day 5: Valencia - Cheste (MotoGP races) - Valencia
Race day is here! Today we will join more than 100,000 MotoGP fans who will fill the “Circuit Ricardo Tormo de la Comunitat Valenciana” as always to enjoy the last Grand Prix of the season. Even the parking lot with thousands and thousands of different motorcycles, different models and different styles is awe-inspiring in itself.
-
Day 6: Valencia - Alicante
Another day of motorcycle enjoyment awaits us on twisty mountain roads in the mountains south of Valencia and north of Alicante. From the calm waters of the rice fields of the Albufera Valenciana, where Paella was invented, to the rugged mountain passes of the Aitana Sierra, we’ll enjoy curve after curve as we descend towards the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and our hotel for the evening.
-
Day 7: Alicante – Costa de Almeria
We’ll start the day on an easy route heading inland away from the coast. We’ll ride a combination of national and local roads that will allow us to relax our senses and to move southward quickly and avoid the tremendous traffic along the coast. But before descending again to the coast to see the azure waves of the sea crash against the Almeria Coast, we will get our daily fix of top quality curves on roads that are considered the jewels of the south for motorcyclists.
-
Day 8: Costa de Almeria - Costa del Sol
The famous Costa del Sol, in the province of Granada, will be our destination for this evening. We’ll enjoy its warmer temperatures as we circumvent the high altitude city of Granada in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and follow mountain roads that take us south on enjoyable curves before reaching the Mediterranean Coast once again.
-
Day 9: Costa del Sol – Málaga
The mountains that dominate the entire coastline of the Costa del Sol are a treasure that the local motorcyclists know well and that we will enjoy them to the fullest on our last riding day. We’ll head inland and quickly climb in altitude and enjoy a combination of local mountain roads that will take us to the Montes de Malaga Natural Park, north of the capital. From here we’ll enjoy a few more curves before we will reach our destination for the evening. At night we’ll have a farewell dinner at a traditional Andalusian restaurant for the whole group to reminisce about our magnificent adventure together.
