"Standard" Enduro Tours

Our "standard" enduro tours are suitable for anybody who can ride a motorcycle on the road and is reasonably fit.

At the beginning of each tour we give a quick offroad motorcycle riding technique introduction - about starting, proper riding position, breaking, cornering, reading the surface for traction, and special situations, e.g. ruts or water.

On tour, our tour leader and our Thai support riders will help all riders at any time, whether it's a problem kickstarting the bike, a rider needs guiding over a tricky spot, or coaching riders who are interested in improving their trail riding techniques.

If you've never been riding on dirt, take it easy - you will get tired physically and mentally faster than an experienced offroad rider, who uses the proper techniques and has the right moves already burnt into his reflexes.

We've all started like that - consciously trying to remember all those techniques, gripping the handlebars like we wanted to bend them, while worrying about how to get around the next corner!

Well, don't worry! Relax, ride your own speed and play around on the bike - you're on holidays and in our professional care.

"V.I.P." Enduro Tours

O.k. - so you're over 40, overweight, overworked, overstressed but still want to be over here. No problem, that's where our "V.I.P." enduro tours come in. Late starts, early arrivals, easy scenic routes, a real leisure ride! Great Thai food, plenty of traditional Thai massage and lots of interesting things to see. You'll unwind so well you may never want to go back....

Support is just like on our standard tours, riding speed and frequency of breaks is up to the group and the accent is on "leisure trip".

"Hard" Enduro Tours

Our "hard" enduro tours are designed for dirt riders who ride regularly and want a proper workout. The difference between somebody who rides once a year and a dirt biker who's out there every Sunday is staggering.

"Nothing beats saddle time".....truer words were never spoken! With every hour riding in the dirt, your mind builds up a database of experiences - which action in what kind of situation on what sort of surface resulted in which consequences!

And the beauty is, there's always more: if you're good on hardpack, you have to start learning again in deep sand. If you always ride in dry conditions, why not come over here in July for a rainy season "mudfest" and learn how to find traction on wet mossy clay. And if you're great on fire roads, you may have to start all over practicing tight gnarly single track and hillclimbs.

Here in northern Thailand we have pretty much everything except sand dunes and beaches. The conditions here vary enormously: technical single track, wide sweeping gravel roads, sand, rocks, hardpack with or without sand on top, mud (in rainy season), forest trails with carpets of fir needles, fallen trees, river crossings, log bridges and more. Enduro paradise!
