Emerging from passion: Ride Xpower
Ride Xpower was founded in 2002 by Thomas Fasching to live out his hobby and passion for motorcycles. From the beginning, the company organized bike events with adventure as the main theme. The result is excellent, professionally organized events that are suitable for every type of driver.
Over the years, the original concept has been further developed and applied to other related areas. Today, the company's lifestyle adventures include motorcycling, buggy (side by side) and Jeep tours.
Ride Xpower is not subject to excessive commercial pressure, allowing us to implement the ideas that arise from our passion.
The Ride Xpower team consists of over 10 employees and freelancers. They have all turned their hobby into a profession and pass it on to our customers with complete dedication.
The company headquarters is in Salzburg, Austria.
2002
It all started with a Ducati 996 and the TC.P Race Days were born. Twice a year we really step on the gas at the Pannonia Ring, and not just on the racetrack itself. The atmosphere is like a MotoGP race, there is lots of freeriding for everyone and some tasty races, accompanied by grid girls and live commentary at the race track.
2006
It all starts with a bike again: This time it's a KTM Enduro and the start of TC.P Adventure Tours in Croatia. A motorcycle adventure, everything off the road, uncompromising quality in a cool, relaxed event.
2007
TC.P is a partner of KTM Adventure Tours for Eastern Europe. You can still ride enduro there like you did in the early days of the sport, true to the motto “Back to the Roots”.
2010
The KTM Adventure Tours offer includes tours to three destinations in Romania, Croatia and Bosnia, and a new tour to Crimea in Ukraine is currently being planned.
2011/12
The appeal of MTB downhill biking is further enhanced in the inimitable TC.P XPower style: heli-biking, the ultimate experience. Introducing Bike Adventure Tours, a new definition of mountain biking.
2013
TC.P becomes a partner of HUSABERG Pure Riding – Enduro Tours, now Husqvarna. Our passion has created a team of 10 dedicated employees, adventure is lifestyle, and the TC.P Lifestyle Camps are becoming a reality.
2014
All TC.P XPower adventures can be booked online on our own homepage. The Lake Baikal project, an off-road enduro expedition to Siberia, is the beginning of the Once in your Lifetime Adventures. Adventures that you will probably only experience once in your life.
2015
The travel offering is expanded to include destinations in Turkey and Italy. The “Once in your Lifetime Adventures” continues through Project Cappadocia.
2016
Doubling sales with tours in 9 countries, 20 tours in over 40 event weeks and a fleet of a total of 50 motorcycles challenge the organizational structure. TC.P XPower becomes Ride Xpower and we have created a strong brand with an up-to-date website as well as a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube presence.
2017
The “Once In Your Lifetime Tours” project continues with “Riding to Jerusalem”. A tour base in Dubai is also being planned, as well as new tour destinations in Italy, Spain, Great Britain and the “Iceland 2018” project. We have diversification plans and will make great efforts to develop the local agent network as well as internal quality standards.
2018
Social media became an important marketing tool and Ride Xpower managed to build a strong social media presence. We started thinking about new tour areas and decided to the market for race service for motorbike rallies and enter the Buggy Adventure Tours market. A big vision became to accompany the Dakar Rally on tour and offer racing support.
2019
Ride Xpower achieved global brand awareness for premium tours and bookings increased significantly. A destination in Greece was opened and World Buggy Tours started.
2020
COVID makes 2020 perhaps the biggest challenge in business development, but gives the organization the opportunity to review and reorganize the structure.
2021
In 2021, Covid travel restrictions were still challenging. Ride Xpower is starting a project for a racing event, Pegasus Extreme is scheduled to take place in Greece for the first time in 2024. The tour to Israel in the Holy Land was back on the tour calendar for 2022. World Buggy Tours started with destinations in Croatia and Romania.
2022
After COVID travel restrictions were lifted before the summer, the period afterward was still challenging. We used the quiet COVID period to optimize tours and logistics and started 2023 stronger.
2023
2023 is characterized by the massive wave of inflation, but we were still able to build on the year before COVID. The Once in a Lifetime project continues with a Tour Meet Dakar, we accompany the Dakar Rally with Enduro bikes, jeeps and subsequently also buggies and adventure bikes.
2024
A full tour calendar with tours for every season allows us to look to the future with full motivation. The Dakar adventure arouses global interest and gets the adrenaline pumping. Be close up at the toughest and longest rally in the world.
