In a world centered around self broadcasting, it can be difficult to see beyond the foreground. At Upshift, however, we strive to provide a broader perspective, outlining the aspects of adventure that make up the background of the journey: the landscape, the people, and the culture. From origin to destination, we believe that these details should not be overlooked when telling the story of an adventure, including storytelling through photos. In 2019, we found ourselves around the globe yet again, and while the year was full of new gear and inspiring stories, we want to share a look at the past twelve months from a “wide open” perspective. This is Issue 41, Wide Open - 2019 year in photos.
Upshift continues traveling the world in our April issue. This month we explore Moab, Utah in winter- a wonderland in the snow! Our own Simon Cudby takes us on an adventure through North Vietnam. We discover Crete, including its mythical history and genuine hospitality. Finally, we get a chance to ride the new, affordable Royal Enfield Himalayan. Check out our review of the latest gear tested from Klim and SIdi. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a week-long trek, a sense of adventure, an exciting destination and a two-wheel mechanical companion are all you need to make an escape from reality possible. We are committed to inspiring your adventure-related journeys.

Issue 27 is packed with amazing adventures from around the globe, starting with our trip to India. We cover the Upshift crew's ride between Killar and Kishtwar to the top of the Himalayas. Then Olivier de Vaulx and his group ride off-road from Canada to Mexico along the U.S. Pacific Coast. In addition, we pop in on the annual KTM Rider Rally in Park City, Utah for some fun fall riding and the KTM Ultimate Race. The two-day race features everyday riders competing for a chance to win a trip to Morocco and a place in the Merzouga Rally, not to mention a Dakar VIP trip. For a change of pace, Tim Burke hopped aboard a Triumph Tiger 800XCA and chased the midnight sun along the amazing Scandinavia mountains. Finally, Upshift’s Simon Cudby wanted to get his few thousand miles in for the month, so he headed to Mexico for the Baja Rally race. He and Stephen Clark followed the race route aboard a KTM 1090 Adventure R and a Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports, observing rally in its rawest form.
