OFF-ROAD MOTORBIKES FOR RENT IN HANOI, VIETNAM

Whether you’re navigating the concrete canyons of Hanoi or exploring remote mountain passes and dirt trails, every kilometer can become an adventure waiting to happen. That’s why our Honda dual-sport and off-road motorbikes are designed to give you the best of both worlds: the rugged, terrain-conquering ability of a dirt bike combined with the comfortable handling needed for long-distance motorcycle trips in Vietnam. Ready to leave the city behind and discover a different side of Vietnam?

Our Fleet Of Off-road Motorbikes

All our off-road motorcycles are genuine Honda models. When necessary, we carefully refurbish, recondition, or rebuild our motorcycles to keep them reliable and ready for demanding trips. They are either newer models or proven, dependable motorcycles that can handle dirt roads, rough tracks, mountain passes, and countryside trails in Northern Vietnam.

Let’s be honest: who cares about a shiny motorcycle when you’re talking about dirt bikes? These motorcycles are built to be ridden, not displayed. We understand that our customers have different levels of riding experience and different levels of mechanical knowledge. Therefore, we select Honda off-road motorcycles that are practical and manageable for a wide range of riders.

We also don’t believe that bigger or more powerful is always better. Vietnam has relatively low speed limits, while many of the roads and trails you will explore require control, traction, suspension travel, and reliability rather than outright horsepower. Keeping the motorcycles practical also helps us maintain affordable rental prices for off-road adventures in Vietnam.

Below are the main models currently available from our Hanoi off-road motorcycle rental fleet, together with links to their detailed specifications.

2014 – 2017 Honda dual enduro CRF250L
2017 – 2020 Honda dirt bikes XR150L

In reality, we don’t use or provide other brands such as Suzuki, Yamaha, or Kawasaki in our main off-road fleet. We also have a big no-no for Chinese copycat motorcycles. The reason is simple: when you’re riding deep into the mountains of Northern Vietnam, reliability and spare-parts availability are much more important than saving a little money on the initial rental.

Which off-road motorbikes?

Based on our years of experience and feedback from customers who have ridden these motorcycles around Northern Vietnam, here is some quick advice:

• Engine power: Go for the Honda CRF250L, followed by the XR150L, with the CRF150L last.
• Suspension: The Honda CRF250L is the best, followed by the CRF150L, with the XR150L last.
• Seat comfort: The Honda XR150L is the most comfortable, followed by the CRF250L, with the CRF150L last.
• Off-road ability: The Honda CRF150L is the most capable, followed by the CRF250L, with the XR150L last.

Honestly, the Honda XR150L has the simplest design and uses less complicated technology. That is also one of its biggest advantages. It is reliable, easy to maintain, and relatively simple to repair, even when you’re far away from Hanoi.

The CRF250L and CRF150L use more sophisticated systems, including fuel injection and more complicated electrical wiring. Therefore, riders should pay particular attention to the wiring harness, electrical connections, and system fuses when traveling in remote areas.

And yes, there is another potential enemy on a long motorcycle trip: rats! A rat can chew through electrical wiring while your bike is parked overnight, potentially leaving you with an electrical problem far from the nearest mechanic. It sounds funny until it happens!
