Foundation & Advanced

Are you learning to ride just as a hobby, or do you want to be a pro rider by the end of the course? Based on your requirement, every tier runs as one of two programmes — Foundation or Advanced.

Our curriculum mirrors global rider-education frameworks: conceptual understanding, practical training on the track, and safety awareness — sequenced so every rider builds real competence, not just confidence.

Learn the essential skills to ride a motorcycle without supervision. By the end of the course you can ride a motorcycle on your own.

Advanced Programme

Learn to handle real-life situations on the road in addition to riding the motorcycle. Your skills will be at par with pro riders on the street, with the ability to take on city roads, heavy traffic, and long-distance touring.

Intermediate Course

Already comfortable on a scooter or bicycle? Build the clutch, gear, and control skills a geared motorcycle asks for.

3 Days · 9 Hours

Who Is This For?

This tier suits riders with some scooter or cycling experience who are comfortable riding a bicycle confidently. If you already balance a two-wheeler and read the road a little, we focus on what a motorcycle adds: clutch control, gear shifts, engine braking, and extra weight.

Ideal for daily scooty commuters moving to a motorcycle, riders who own a motorcycle but have only ridden automatics, and confident cyclists who want a structured route into riding.

Training runs at STAR Track near Gwal Pahari on a dedicated enclosed track, with guided on-road sessions introduced once foundational skills are built. STAR provides 350cc well-maintained training motorcycles, sanitised riding gear, and all fuel for your sessions.

Course FAQ

I ride a scooty daily. Is this the right tier for me?

Yes. This tier is designed for riders with some scooter or cycling experience who are confident on a bicycle. You already have balance and road sense, so we spend the sessions on clutch control, gear shifting, braking, and motorcycle handling.

How is this different from the Beginner Course?

The Beginner Course is for complete novices with no prior two-wheeler experience and runs 4 days / 12 hours. This tier assumes some scooter or cycling experience and runs 3 days / 9 hours.

What motorcycle will I learn on?

STAR provides 350cc well-maintained training motorcycles, with wear and tear fully covered, plus sanitised riding gear for every session.

2 Days · 6 Hours

Who Is This For?

This tier is for riders who have active real road experience on a geared or non-geared two-wheeler. You can already ride — this is where technique, control, and hazard awareness get sharper under supervision.

Every tier runs as either the Foundation or the Advanced programme, depending on whether you are riding as a hobby or want pro-level road skills. The full skill list is published in the Foundation & Advanced section on this page.

Training runs at STAR Track near Gwal Pahari, with guided on-road sessions. STAR provides 350cc well-maintained training motorcycles, sanitised riding gear, and fuel for every session.

Course FAQ

Do I need prior riding experience for this tier?

Yes. This tier assumes active real road experience on a geared or non-geared two-wheeler. If you have never ridden a two-wheeler, start with the Beginner Course; if you have scooter or cycling experience, the Intermediate Course is the right starting point.

Can I bring my own motorcycle to practice on?

We recommend starting on STAR Academy's training motorcycles because they are set up for coaching. Once your control is steady, we can discuss whether practice on your own motorcycle makes sense.

How many days does the course take?

2 days at 3 hours of practice per day — 6 hours in total. Slot timings are flexible based on availability, so talk to us to design a schedule that fits your calendar.

Off-Road Course

Gravel, inclines, water crossings — get adventure-ready before you hit the mountains.

8 Hours

Who Is This For?

You can ride a motorcycle confidently on paved roads — but the mountains are a different game. Loose gravel, steep inclines, river crossings, and unpredictable terrain demand specific skills that regular road riding does not teach. This course fills that gap.

Ideal for riders planning Ladakh, Spiti, Rajasthan desert, or Northeast India trips. Also suited for anyone who wants to ride beyond tarmac: farm trails, forest tracks, or weekend off-road adventures near Gurugram. You must already be comfortable riding a motorcycle on normal roads.

What You'll Learn

1

Off-Road Fundamentals & Bike Setup

Understand how off-road riding differs from road riding: standing position, loose grip, weight distribution. Learn to set up your motorcycle for off-road conditions — tire pressure, luggage loading, and pre-ride checks for remote terrain.

2

Gravel & Loose Surface Riding

Practice riding on gravel, sand, and loose dirt. Learn throttle control on slippery surfaces, how to read terrain, and how to maintain traction when the ground shifts beneath you.

3

Incline & Decline Handling

Master hill climbs and descents on unpaved surfaces. Learn body positioning for steep gradients, clutch-brake coordination on inclines, and controlled descent techniques using engine braking.

4

Water Crossing Techniques

Learn to assess water crossings safely: reading depth, identifying current, choosing your line. Practice riding through water at controlled speed with proper body position and throttle management.

5

Emergency Stops & Recovery on Loose Surfaces

Braking on gravel and dirt is nothing like braking on tarmac. Practice emergency stops, skid recovery, and picking up a dropped bike on uneven ground — skills that could save your trip.

6

Adventure Touring Basics & Trip Readiness

Luggage loading and weight distribution for multi-day trips, basic roadside repairs, route planning for remote areas, and practice scenarios that tie the skills together.

Course FAQ

Do I need to know how to ride a motorcycle already?

Yes. This course assumes you can ride a motorcycle confidently on paved roads. If you are a complete beginner, start with our Beginner Course first, then come back for off-road training.

I am planning a Ladakh trip. Is this course enough?

This course covers core skills for adventure terrain: gravel riding, inclines, water crossings, and luggage management. Combined with physical fitness, proper gear, and thoughtful trip planning, it can improve your readiness for mountain roads.

What motorcycles are used for off-road training?

We use a range of motorcycles suited for off-road conditions, progressing based on your comfort level. You will train on bikes similar to what you would ride on an actual adventure trip.

How many days does the course take?

The 8-hour course is completed over 2-3 days at 3 hours per day. We will work with you to find convenient time slots.
