Geared Lesson

You'll spend around 1 hour on our private range to master clutch control, gears and slow‑speed balance, then 2 hours out on the road. If you need longer off‑road, no problem – we adapt to your pace.

Training bike, helmet, jacket and gloves provided.

Confidence Lesson

Ideal for riders caught between Geared lessons and Mod 1 who feel they need a little extra polish – maybe slow‑speed manoeuvres, braking finesse or just general nerves.

Tell us what is holding you back and we build it into the session, whether that means extra cone work on the range or an extended road loop.

Ideal if you don't have a 125cc of your own to practice on, or you would rather iron out weaknesses with a professional on hand.
