BDR-X – Discover the Texas Hill Country BDR-X

If you’ve been itching for a ride that’s big on adventure but doesn’t eat up weeks of your time, the Texas Hill Country BDR-X should be on your list. It’s a 650-mile loop packed with twisty pavement, rocky dirt tracks, and the kind of small-town stops that remind you why we love riding in the first place.

Why this BDR-X?

So, what makes this loop different? Unlike the full BDRs that take a week or more to finish, the BDR-X routes are designed as short, rideable loops. You get the same backcountry feel, just in a tighter package—perfect if you’ve only got a long weekend.

Three Twisted Sisters – BDR-X

On this Texas route, you’ll hit the famous “Three Twisted Sisters,” ride their dirt-road cousins (the “Three Dirty Sisters”), and deal with everything from low-water crossings to bump gates. Add in BBQ joints, historic landmarks, and the rolling hill country landscape, and you’ve got a route that checks all the boxes.

Official Film – BDR-X

The BDR team even put together a film showing how they scouted and rode the route, plus GPS tracks and maps so you can start planning your own ride. They launched it with a premiere in September, and it’s already making waves at events like the TouraTexas Rally.

If you’re looking for your next weekend adventure, the Texas Hill Country BDR-X is a solid pick. Get your gear sorted, download the tracks from the TouraTexas Rally, and go ride it.
