Macbor has re -conquered the heart of trail lovers with the third edition of A Montana Experience. ORNa Authentic Adventure Crossing throughout the Pyrenees, which has served as a demanding test scenario for the renewed Montana XR5 510, the flagship of the brand for the Adventure A2 segment.
This year’s edition challenged the specialized press with a route of more than 700 kilometers, under weather conditions as varied as intense: persistent rain, hail, dense fog and muddy lands.

Montana Experience 2025: An epic route through the Pyrenees
Macbor is defined as a “motorcycle with soul” manufacturer. That is why Montana Experience is born, an experience that you go beyond motorcycles and that perfectly summarizes the spirit of the brand and philosophy of the Motos Bordoy group. The first Montana Experience was in 2018 and came to break molds with Montana XR3, a declaration of intentions of the brand.
This first adventure passed through the Pyrenees with almost 800 km of tracks and some road. The Montana XR3 already surprised with its good development, especially offroad, although it had never been tested in these conditions. In the second edition of Montana Experience, he had Montana XR5 as the protagonist on a route for the teacher with 70% asphalt and 30% of Offroad, where the brand wanted to demonstrate the quality of its flagship.
The result? A demanding route where Montana XR5 demonstrated both its potential and its versatility in all land. Now, in 2025, Montana Experience traces its route again through the Pyrenees, honoring its first edition. For three intense days, the participants toured the 726 kilometers that separate Puigcerdà and Donosti, crossing spectacular and challenging landscapes that tested the dynamic capabilities of Montana.
The itinerary combined 74 % of asphalted sections with 26 % offroad tracks, designed the latter with the objective by the brand of showing the balance between comfort, agility and robustness offered by this half -displacement trail:
- Stage 1: Puigcerdà – Aínsa (287 km)
- Stage 2: Aínsa – Otxagabia (227 km)
- Stage 3: Otxagabia – Donosti (212 km)
With variable conditions, Montana XR5 510 once again demonstrated their versatility, allowing users to face each stage with security and a notable sensation of control. All invited journalists stood out, among many other virtues of the motorcycle, as their excellent performance, which absorbed with solvency the irregularities of the land, as well as the general lightness of the motorcycle, its poise and ease of driving.
Jaume DominguezProduct Development Manager of Macbor, commented: “It has been a fantastic experience that reflects our spirit and our way of living motorcycles. Many have been pleasantly surprised to discover how far the Montana XR5 510 can go. One of the most commented aspects by the press has been its excellent off-road behavior, as well as its lightness and ease of driving in all types of land.”
Concluded: “Without a doubt, it has been a great opportunity to put the real potential of this motorcycle again. I hope we can repeat this experience next year.” The second and third day were marked by the most technical character of the land, as well as strong emotions lived by the participants, including the crossing of a river and more demanding paths. Jordi BordoyMotos Bordoy manager, declared:
“The Montana Experience supposes the celebration of the authentic spirit of Macbor, a fantastic opportunity to share with the specialized press this adventure and that unique emotion that only lives on a motorcycle. Of course, the Montana XR5 510 perfectly embodies this philosophy.” He also highlighted the evolution of the new Macbor Montana XR5 510: “The motorcycle was exceptional, but with the improvements it has received this year, he surpasses herself.”
