Your trusted motorcycle off-road tyre specialist. Born out of guided tours through Iceland's volcanic highlands. Run by riders, for riders.

Motorcycle on Iceland F-road

Our Story

We started out a few years back under Freedom Motor Adventures, running guided trips to Iceland. From the very first ride, the same question kept popping up: which tyres should I run for Iceland, and for the trails in between?

Tyres are what riders chat about endlessly. Only Knobblies exists for off-road and adventure riders — the ones who duck off the tarmac for the green lanes and then cruise the miles home. Road riders and enduro specialists are well catered for. Adventure riders often aren't. We're here to change that.

Rather than a faceless shop, we focus on informed choice. Clear guidance, real-world context, and straightforward pricing — so you can pick the right rubber for your bike, your terrain, and your riding style. Our ambition is to be the go-to place for all adventure, enduro, and off-tarmac riders.

Jimmy

Started on Harleys. Ended up in glacial rivers on a KTM. Since he got his licence, Jimmy jumped on big bikes. He started with Harley Davidson, tempted by the dream of freedom — only to realise that true freedom is off the beaten track. So he swapped to a BMW 850 GS Adventure and took it into English mud. The bike and the rider got an awful lot of pounding on local lanes, trips and long-distance trials. Then he got serious and got himself a KTM 890 Adventure R. You can usually find him leading rides in Kent and Surrey, or training in Wales, preparing for a trial or planning the next adventure.

Co-Founder & Guide
Naz

Former personal injury lawyer who decided it was more fun to be on the other side of the motorcycle adventure story. Naz wanted to ride bikes for a long time, but the whole family talked her out of it as dangerous. It may have something to do with the fact that she worked on personal injury claims as a lawyer and saw firsthand what happens to many bikers. But since she met Jimmy, she realised that riding can be different and fully embraced off-road adventure. Her first bike was the mighty Sinnis Terrain, the most underrated 125cc bike ever. Even before she got her licence, a bumble bee BMW 800 GS was waiting for her. Before long, she realised it wasn’t enough and swapped to a KTM 890 Adventure R. The best way to get on her wrong side is to suggest a smaller bike.
