BMW Motorrad Spain announces the official opening of the 2026 Riders Academy course calendar, its flagship training programme designed for motorcyclists looking to perfect their riding technique in on-road and off-road environments with the support of certified instructors and a proven methodology.
The Riders Academy has established itself as a comprehensive development programme for riders of all levels, from those who want to better master their motorbike on the road to those who want to tackle dirt terrain with confidence. In this edition, the training delves into the fundamentals of riding, dynamic control and the specific skills that make a difference in safety and enjoyment on two wheels.
