Along Ruta 40 On a Ural Gear Up Expedition

In early February 2022, Skip Mascorro of MotoDiscovery Tours took off from Santiago de Chile to head a group of travelers on sidecar and solo motorcycles to Terra Del Fuego along the legendary Ruta 40.

One of the bikes in the group was the Gear Up Expedition that we planned to announce later that spring.

Two weeks into the trip the war in Ukraine began. Although the ride was successfully completed, it didn’t feel right to celebrate anything at that time.

Now a year and a half later, after having completed our own epic detour, we are finally officially announcing Ural Expedition. Built with the ultimate motorcycle adventure in mind, the Expedition is a fully equipped, go anywhere, do anything machine that can tackle nearly any situation on or off the road.

Adventures have always been about exploring new lands, but also about better understanding oneself, finding new friends, discovering different cultures and creating connections with people from all walks of life.

We deeply believe that this human side of adventure is now even more important than ever and there is no better way to do it than by a sidecar!

Watch the five-part series of short videos of Skip and Nancy Mascorro on their Ural Gear Up Expedition and Mike and Aillene Paull on their Gear Up GEO traversing the breathtaking Patagonian landscape and the Atacama Desert, meeting and connecting with the locals and throughout it all putting the legendary 2WD machines through their paces.
