Let's take the new Lone Rider ADV Tent through its paces. Not just in the garden. On a real trip under rough condition. That's what its there for.
Just to make it clear from the beginning ... this tend is brilliant.
Check out my video why I think this tent is a winner!

"This review is not sponsored in any way, so my opinion is non-biased."
I'm a long time user of the older LONE RIDER MOTO TENT. It served me on many trip's hundreds of times.
So you may not be surprised that I'm very keen to review the latest development from this company the LONE RIDER ADV TENT.
Let' see what it is made of.

An honest review - Out in the wet and cold with the new Lone Rider ADV tent. That was fun. What tent are you using? Please drop me note below.
Thanks for the review. I do like my Lone Rider ADV tent, I used it a lot over summer and it is still in perfect condition . I'm 6' 4' and use the tent solo and with my partner. It packs up small and I get all my camping gear into one pannier. The biggest negative is the amount of mesh used in the inner tent and the fly doesn't reach the ground making the tent very draughty and cold so it is strictly for warmer months.
This has been really helpful and assisted in making my decision, thanks for the video!
You are very welcome.
REALLY great review. I am sort of stuck between Lonerider and Redverz tent. Was going to buy the Goose but its made in China and I want to avoid that after the fallout with covid19. Cheers mate.
Never mind China. The Goose is just to much of a compromise.
Thank you for sharing this. Glad you are snug! This is exactly the review we were looking for.
Glad it was helpful! Keep it up!
I have the Lone Rider Mototent, and I love it. Have you seen any damage to the floor of your mototent from your cot? Also, which cot are you useing? I'd like to try a cot, but I don't want to damage my tent.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by.
I don't have any damage on my moto tent at all. As long as you have solid ground you'll be fine. In wet boggy condition, you may add some extra support under the legs of the cot. You could use the extra floor sheets you have with the tent.
The cot I'm using is from Helinox. Strong, sturdy but small and light enough. Pricy though.
If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Great review. Just found you channel a couple of days ago. Like the content. If you had to choose between the two tents ⛺ which one would you choose? You could only keep one. 😉 I'm a bit torn between the two.
Thanks for your input in the biker community. 👍🇸🇪
Hi Jon
The mototent is my favourite. Space, hight and comfort are much better. It is about 35% bigger when packed, but it doesn't matter really, unless you are straped for space.
👍
@@MOTOTravelUK thanks! My thought aswell. Happy Holidays.
Looks like a solid choice for most people. I tend to travel with a tarp and use my ROK straps to stringnit up over my bike. But this looks nice 👍
Not a bad way to travel. I like a bit more comfort and protection from the elements. But that said, the beauty of traveling on a motorbike is you do what you want. and that can only be a good thing. Tent, tarp or hotel, as long you are not wasting your life sitting at home. Thanks for you comment and ride safe.
@@MOTOTravelUK oh yeah, camping is great fun but sometimes you just have to rest up in a nice cozy hotel. Same to you 👍
Excellent review mate well worth the money in my opinion
Cheers Pal, Absolutely enjoyed it. It's a keeper!
I am liking your channel.
Thank you Micheal 👍
The small zipper on the side is for Electric Hook up, not hiding items, although I suppose you could
Apparently it's meant for locking things up. I. E panniers. Connected to a helmet or cot. Do they can't just wsl away. Thanks for your comment 👍
Really what with a chain or something? Mm ok wow.
Nice video, thank you. Just can’t choose between ADV and MOTO tents now... Think will try smaller one first as have no experience to use tents on moto trip yet. It is more convenient I think as it has smaller folded volume and weight and when you drive it is easier to carry it and passenger as well on one bike and you can choose stay with tent or go to hotel...
What model of glasses do you have on 0:05?
Good choice! My personal Favourite is the MotoTent. I do appreciate the space. The ADV Tent is the go to on short trips or if I only plan to camp occasionally.
My Glasses are Sunglass Frames from Oakley with standard lenses. I found those frames are more durable then standard Glasses and way cooler. 😁
Is the carry bag of this tent water resistant? I mean can I strap it on the bike as is and it'll survive some tough rain, or I need to by a dry-bag for it separately? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for dropping by. Yes the tent comes in dry compression bag. I keep on top of my pannier. Plenty space to pack it easily.
@@MOTOTravelUK That's cool, thank you! It's rather on the expensive side and I was hoping that I don't have to by another bag for it. My only concern is the cooking...not sure if it could be done outside the mesh in the storage space, but it's certainly not ideal. Other than this it looks solid and seems like a good long term investment.
@@zoltanpocza you may find you are ok with a gas stove but stay away from a petrol stove.
@@MOTOTravelUK Thank you, Sir! That's exactly what I was thinking!
@@zoltanpocza I cook in the vestibule, I configure the door/side flaps for a wind break
is it still waterproof now? You have had for a while longer now.
Oh yes, it is still waterproof. BTW my old MotoTent ( same material ) is now in his 7th season and still no issues.
Thanks for your reply
After all these years which tent you prefer on a moto camp ?This or the big one ?
Clearly the lonerider adv tent. Just came back from a 100dsy trip.
This tent is so flexible and practical.
IS it not too Cold during thé nights please
I just ordered one and Wonder about Cold in thé nights
@falchiherve2024 no it isn't. I'm currently in Peru 🇵🇪 with it. It's winter here.
Thanks for nice review. Can I ask how tall you are? I'm 190cm and wondering if it's long enough... Cheers
Hi Jan, I'm 187cm no problem with hight.
@@MOTOTravelUK Super, cheers :)
Same. There is enough room.
Hello
I just ordered one ADV tent Yesterday
Just a question to everybody Ho allrrady owns it
I m french so sorry for thé fault
How IS this tent in Cold température Ith all this mesch
IS.the inside not too Cold please
It's not to cold. Keep the mesh closed an you are fine.
Can’t you cook in the vestibule…..say, with a Trangia ?
Yeah, you can always use a Trangia, even under your bed.
No really, you'll be fine. Adapting to the conditions. Man has to eat.
I appreciate a lot your videos but , concerning the tents, it looks like you are a fan of Loan Rider, knowing that there are a lot of other brands having even good or even better tents for a cheaper price. The "Loan rider " is a bit a special one, but, the ADV is nothing special (but more expansive) compared to the competitors..... Vango for example. May be I am wrong, but it looks like Loan Rider is selling at a very high price and that is also the reason why they are not using distributors ..... They are selling in direct without any price promotion or competition between distributors like all the other brands are doing..... I am willing to buy a loan rider tent, but I have the feeling that I will not pay the right price because the lake of competition.
Thanks again for your videos....

Hi Alain. You're making a good point. I'm no LR Fanboy. But I'm a fan of Buy once - buy right. Did you know I'm still using my MotoTent after more than 5 years? It is a quality thing. Have you ever wondered why other brands have to add more and more tents to their product line?
You don't need 30 different models. The answer is , the stuff is just not as good and this way you always can buy the next best thing for not much money.
Your expectations on a "cheep tent" are not really high and manufactures know that. However, if you buy and more expensive you have higher expectations, and those have to me met buy the manufacturer. So the risk for a manufacturer to put a high price item on the market is much higher.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. That is the reality of gear investment.
Long term, quality matters. So when you spend your cash you need to know they have your back covered. At LR, you get all the spares for your tent.
You pay for premium materials and that's important. And most discount brands with many models are box shifters and the product have a very short life span. There is no value in this product, as it is gone after a season or two.
Hope you know where I'm coming from?
Hope this helped. All the very best Stephan
@@MOTOTravelUK The problem right now is that they are taking pre-orders with estimated delivery start of June. So I should pay the price in advance, which is not on the low side, end could end up buying another tent to have it on time. I plan my travel for start of July, but the word 'estimate' is the problem here...
