WIDE OPEN - 2022 YEAR IN PHOTOS GET
Upshift Online’s annual Wide Open issue has become a tradition that we have become increasingly fond of. It started as a glance in the rear-view mirror to celebrate the many stories that came out of the last calendar year and also as an opportunity to share the incredible images that did not fit into the original articles. While those themes are no less present in this latest edition of the Year in Photos magazine, we’ve also learned that one of the most powerful effects of this issue is how it revs up both our readers and our contributors to venture even further this year! Looking back at where Upshift explored in 2022, the bikes we managed to ride, and the people we had the pleasure of meeting fuels us to be even more adventurous and creative in 2023.
Life as an adventurer, no matter the scale, is one of growth. Every trip, accomplishment, and discovery builds upon one another to cultivate a rider who’s more experienced and versatile than before. We believe that sometimes the best way to motivate future growth as a rider, and as a business for that matter, is to remember the moments that occurred along the way. So in that spirit, please enjoy a collection of our favorite moments from 2022, and be sure to keep it ‘wide open’ in 2023.
Versatility to the max to ensure every ride is an enjoyable one! Explore remote trails, enjoy mixed-surface adventures, or simply add a little more fun to your daily commute, the GASGAS ES 700 is a playful, do-it-all dual-sport performer. Mixing high-quality, street-legal performance with proven offroad capabilities, the ES 700 proudly brings the playful and vibrant GASGAS attitude to the street. And with its 13.5 liter fuel tank, comfortable riding position, high-spec equipment, and proven single-cylinder motor, there’s nowhere the ES 700 won’t go. How far you take it is up to you!
