Adventure<br />

found a couple of guys from Germany/Italy<br />

who in 2014 made a 20,000km trek from<br />

China to home in the Alps - and yes one<br />

of them was riding a 400 Trail (badged a<br />

Shineray X5 as it was a home market<br />

example). It crushed some wheel bearings<br />

along the way, but was still in fine health<br />

after 127 days of non-stop adventuring.<br />

That sounds well-tested to us.<br />

Of course this was a ‘first ride’ type test.<br />

But we rode the kind of roads that suit this<br />

kind of bike and the right kind of trails too.<br />

No, it won’t do enduro the way an XR or<br />

DRZ can, but then it was never designed to.<br />

As a travel bike, though, it’s quite possibly<br />

the best attempt we’ve seen from any<br />

manufacturer to date. A clever bit of kit.<br />

Not flawless obviously but at under £4000<br />

brand new with 24 months warranty, pretty<br />

impressive. This Shineray team - they<br />

clearly know a thing or two...<br />

THANKS<br />

Big thanks to Henry Mablethorpe and the<br />

guys at WK Bikes for getting us the test bike<br />

just as soon as they’d broken it out of the<br />

container. And thanks too, to our mate Andy<br />

Dukes for coming along on his own Honda<br />

CRF250L to afford us a great comparison<br />

and good company. And thanks to the Great<br />

British countryside - it’s an awesome place...
