ABOVE THE CLOUDS
WE RIDE - above the clouds. On 12 April, the HEIMPLANET flagship store in Hamburg's Hafencity opened its doors for a special event: the exclusive premiere of the short documentary ABOVE THE CLOUDS III, hosted by Gravel Adventures, MODEKA and Royal Enfield DACH - three partners dedicated to the passion for adventure, freedom and real motorbike experiences.
WE RIDE – Above the Clouds
On April 12, the HEIMPLANET store in Hamburg’s Hafencity opened for a special event. They showed a new short film called ABOVE THE CLOUDS III. The event was hosted by Gravel Adventures, MODEKA, and Royal Enfield DACH. These three groups love adventure, freedom, and real motorbike rides.
An adventure journey into the heart of the Himalayas - An evening that connects
This short documentary takes the audience on a spectacular motorbike journey through the Spiti Valley, one of the most remote and wildest regions in the Indian Himalayas. For weeks, rider Joscha Kiefer and the Gravel Adventures team traversed a terrain that is a challenge even for experienced adventurers: dusty high plateaus, narrow mountain passes, ice-cold river crossings - and everywhere an overwhelming natural backdrop that offered new impressions with every bend.
We rode the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - robust, simple, reliable. Exactly the kind of motorbike that Gravel Adventures has always relied on. This is no coincidence, as Gravel Adventures and Royal Enfield have had a close partnership since 2019 with the aim of making motorbike adventures accessible worldwide - authentic, down-to-earth and unforgettable.
The setup was complemented by high-quality touring and ADV clothing from MODEKA - developed for extreme conditions, made for real challenges.
Experience nature, push boundaries
The Spiti Valley is a place that teaches humility. The thin air at altitudes of over 5,000 metres, the interplay of light and shadow on the huge rock formations, the feeling of complete isolation - all of this was made tangible in the documentary. For many guests in the audience, it quickly became clear: such journeys are more than just kilometres in the saddle. It's about a genuine connection with nature, letting go of everyday life and finding a new perspective - without any digital distractions, but with plenty of real life.
An evening for the community - and a special moment for Joscha Kiefer
In addition to the film premiere, the organisers also gave an exclusive preview of upcoming tours by Gravel Adventures, the experienced provider of motorbike expeditions to remote regions. At the same time, MODEKA presented its new touring and ADV collection - functional, modern and ready for any adventure.
A special highlight of the evening: MODEKA officially presented rider Joscha Kiefer with his new adventure suit, which he will also wear on his next big project in the Himalayas. A moment that for many guests symbolised what the partnership between man, machine and brand is all about - trust, support and a genuine passion for riding.
Royal Enfield also used the evening to present the new Himalayan 450 live and demonstrate its versatility for long journeys.
An Adventure Journey into the Heart of the Himalayas – An Evening That Connects
This short film shows an amazing motorbike trip through the Spiti Valley. This valley is in the Indian Himalayas and is one of the most remote and wild places. For weeks, rider Joscha Kiefer and the Gravel Adventures team traveled through hard terrain. They crossed dusty high plateaus, narrow mountain paths, and icy cold rivers. Everywhere they looked, there was beautiful nature that gave new surprises around every corner.
They rode the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 motorcycle. It is strong, simple, and reliable. Gravel Adventures has trusted Royal Enfield bikes since 2019. Their goal is to make motorbike adventures easy to enjoy for everyone – real, down-to-earth, and unforgettable.
They wore high-quality touring and adventure clothes from MODEKA. These clothes are made for tough weather and real challenges.
Experience Nature, Push Limits
Spiti Valley teaches you to be humble. The air is thin at more than 5,000 meters high. The big rocks and changing light create a special feeling. You feel very alone in nature. The film shows this clearly. For many people watching, it was clear: these trips are more than just riding a motorbike. It’s about connecting with nature, forgetting daily life, and seeing the world in a new way. There are no phones or screens, just real life.
An Evening for the Community – A Special Moment for Joscha Kiefer
Besides the film, the event showed upcoming tours from Gravel Adventures. Gravel Adventures is an expert company that leads motorbike trips to remote places. MODEKA also showed its new clothes for touring and adventure riding – clothes that are practical, modern, and ready for any trip.
A special moment was when MODEKA gave Joscha Kiefer his new adventure suit. He will wear it on his next big trip in the Himalayas. This moment showed what the partnership means: trust, support, and real love for riding.
Royal Enfield also showed the new Himalayan 450 motorcycle at the event and shared how good it is for long trips.
Conclusion: A partnership that makes adventure possible
