ABOUT OUR OFF-ROAD MOTORBIKE TOURS BUSINESS
Are you a fan of off-road motorbike tours? You have landed in the right place! Welcome to the official homepage of Vietnam Offroad Motorcycle Tours, part of Offroad Vietnam Adventure Travel. Our company specializes in motorbike tours, cycling adventures, 4×4 trips, and small-group cruises in Vietnam. Unlike many traditional travel companies in Vietnam, we do not focus on classic sightseeing tours with large groups traveling by bus. Instead, we take you away from the busy tourist routes and into the real Vietnam, where mountain roads, remote villages, jungle trails, rice terraces, and countryside backroads become part of the adventure.
Vietnam is a true motorbike nation, and there is arguably no better way to experience this vibrant country than from the seat of a motorcycle. Riding gives you the freedom to travel at your own pace, stop whenever you want, and reach places that are impossible to access on a conventional tour bus. From remote northern mountains and rugged dirt tracks to winding coastal roads and peaceful rural villages, a motorbike allows you to experience Vietnam much more closely. However, a successful and safe Vietnam motorcycle adventure requires the right bikes, experienced guides, proper planning, and professional local support. If you are looking for an authentic off-road motorbike tour in Vietnam, you have found the right place.
Our Company
Founded in late 2006 by two local motorcycle riders, our company was created after recognizing a growing demand from riders around the world who wanted a different way to explore Vietnam on two wheels. From the beginning, our goal was to provide genuine Vietnam motorbike adventures rather than standard tourist experiences. When we started, the Russian Minsk 2-stroke 125cc was practically the only option available for this type of trip. Although the Minsk had a legendary reputation among adventure riders, it was underpowered, unreliable, and typically consumed around 5–6 liters of fuel per 100 km. We soon realized that the era of this famous “iron buffalo” was coming to an end and that modern, more dependable motorcycles were needed for serious touring.
We therefore moved toward 4-stroke Honda road and dirt bikes, ranging from 125cc to 250cc, which have become the foundation of our motorcycle fleet. Our team has owned and ridden Honda motorcycles for many years, and we know from experience that they are an excellent choice for long-distance motorcycle tours in Vietnam. Honda bikes are reliable, practical, relatively easy to maintain, and replacement parts are widely available throughout the country. For remote riding, these advantages are extremely important because a good adventure bike needs to handle mountain roads, dirt tracks, rough trails, and long days in the saddle. There is also one simple fact that says it all: “Honda” practically means “motorbike” in Vietnamese!
Our Motorcycles For Off-road Motorbike Tours
In late 2013, Vietnam Offroad introduced the new Honda XR125L 2013 series to our motorcycle fleet. This bike quickly became an excellent choice for small-group off-road motorbike tours in Vietnam. Although it has relatively small wheels, with a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, the XR125L proved to be extremely reliable and economical. Its simple design, low fuel consumption, and easy maintenance made it particularly suitable for exploring Vietnam’s mountain roads, countryside tracks, and dirt trails. We used the Honda XR125L successfully for several years, continuing with this model until 2017.
Then, in late 2016, the arrival of the Honda XR150L gave us an even better option for our Vietnam dirt bike tours. Positioned between the XR125L and the larger XR250, the XR150L offers a very useful combination of manageable size, modern design, reliability, and sufficient power. It has the right balance for Vietnam, where riders may encounter everything from paved mountain passes and narrow village roads to rough dirt tracks, rocky trails, steep climbs, and challenging countryside roads. For many riders, the XR150L provides an ideal combination of performance and practicality without being unnecessarily heavy or powerful.
For riders who prefer a larger dirt bike, the Honda XR250 has also been an excellent option. With its comfortable suspension, strong engine, and extra horsepower, the XR250 is capable of taking riders much further along rough roads and demanding off-road trails in Vietnam. In 2017, however, we replaced the XR250 with the next-generation Honda CRF250L, a modern 250cc dual-sport/enduro motorcycle. The CRF250L is heavier than the XR250 because it uses liquid cooling, but it is also newer and offers excellent reliability and performance. For serious Vietnam off-road motorcycle tours, having the right motorcycle makes a major difference, which is why we carefully select bikes based on reliability, terrain, rider experience, and the demands of each adventure.
