Are you an enthusiastic motorbike rider looking for your next off the beaten track holiday destination ? Come to Mongolia ! An off-road trail bike adventure is now a real possibility in this remote and undiscovered part of the world.
For the past few years we have been using Yamaha WR250F motorbikes (that's why all our photos and videos show the blue Yamaha WR). They were great - but now we've gone one better. We will be using KTM 450 EXC off road enduro bikes for our scheduled motorbike trips in Mongolia.
Enjoy the breathtaking contrast between desert, steppe and mountain scenery whilst we take care of your comfort, safety and all the logistics. You will find the experience is not only challenging and lots of fun, but you will gain an insight into a completely different way of life, that of Mongolia's nomads.
Why The KTM 450 EXC Enduro?
For your convenience and pleasure we have a fleet of KTM 450 EXC enduro bikes for our trail bike tours in Mongolia. As one of the most successful Enduro bikes of recent years, the KTM 450 EXC still has but one aim in the world championship title. A new frame design, the perfected settings and an ultra-powerful DOHC engine with the latest technology once again raise the bar for the competition.
Extremely light, ultra-agile and with endless power – the signs of a champion in 2010!
This is a model which has won more Enduro World Championships than any other, and has been designed to deliver superb performance over any terrain. Real dirt bike riders will already know that such a bike can readily meet the challenge. Its light weight at only 113 kg, electronic and kick start capability, height and reliability, make it ideally suited to Mongolia's rough and remote location. See specifications

Road Conditions
Mongolia is the ideal country for an off-road experience since this country the size of Western Europe has only a few hundred kilometers of black-topped roads. The rest of the land is connected by a network of rough jeep tracks and horse trails linking small communities and seasonal pastures. You have a unique opportunity to ride wherever you want because most of the land is not privately owned, so you are not even restricted to the jeep tracks and horse trails.
Communication Equipment
We have satellite telephones for use on more remote tours in places where there is no mobile phone reception. We use the Globalstar network which has complete international coverage and our association with Monsat, Globalstar's official distributor in Mongolia, ensures reliable communication at any time from any place.
All our support vehicles are fitted with long distance two-way radios enabling contact between the tour leader and drivers for distances of up to fifty kilometers. The equipment is supplied by: www.wildtalk.com
Emergency Rescue
Motorcycling is an extreme sport and many of our tours are quite literally "off the map" as we travel to some of the most remote parts of the country. We therefore have a contract with Central Mongolia Airways to provide emergency Mi-8 Helicopter
Mi-8 Helicopterrescue. They are on standby 24 hours a day and would be called from our sat phone and provided with our GPS reference in order to mobilize the rescue team.
Accommodation & Facilities
In order to provide you with the most comfortable and suitable accommodation in the wildest conditions, we have teamed up with Vango and their branch Force 10 to give you a high quality camping experience. We have chosen models such as the Baltoro and theVango Storm 300
Vango Storm 300 Three Man 4 Season Tentwhich suit the extreme weather as well as client requirements. All our tents are kept in good condition and have been proven to withstand heavy rain, strong winds and even snow up in the mountains during the summer.

Motorbike Maintenance & Mechanical Support
Our motorbikes have been chosen with reliability in mind, but in any case will be well maintained by our regular mechanic who accompanies every motorbike tour. If you decide to bring a selection of your own essential tools, of course you can do so, and if you bring your own motorbike it is up to you to decide what
tools and parts you might need.
What To Bring
When you make a booking, you will receive
a Tour Dossier in which there is a complete list
of all you need to take in the way of equipment,
clothing, medicines, etc.. Generally speaking we have the tools that we are likely to need
for maintenance and repair of our own (hired)
motorbikes, but you will need to bring your own helmet and suitable clothing.
Did You Know...
The Gobi Desert
In 1923 the first ever nest containing eggs of a dinosaur
(the meat-eating Oviraptor) was discovered in the Gobi
Desert by Roy Chapman Andrews.
The Khangai Mountains
The
Khangai mountain range includes high mountains, rivers,
lakes, forests, meadows and a rich historical background.
Orkhon Valley
The
Orkhon region bears the marks of ancient volcanic processes:
lava flows, conical hills and hot mineral springs. Rivers
form rapids, their waterfalls flowing through deep gorges.
Lake Khovsgol
Lake
Khovsgol, 136km long and 36km wide, is the second largest
lake in Mongolia and contains 2% of the world's fresh
water. The water is so clear that you can see fish swimming
30 metes below the surface.
The Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia is one of the world's most exotic places. The big golden dunes are pretty much virgin sand except for the occasional trail of camel footprints. Ride over 1500 km to see Mongolia's Painted Desert as well as the valley where Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first nest of dinosaur eggs.
White Lake & Khorgo Volcano National Park on the edge of the Khangai range in Central Mongolia is a thrilling place to ride a motorcycle. Travel across mountain, desert, steppe and forest to get to the lake created 20,000 years ago following volcanic eruption.
Genghis Khan was born in Dadal in 1162. Riding mainly off-road across remote mountains and river valleys, it is 600 km from Ulaanbaatar to the village where the great leader of the Mongol Empire was born 800 years ago. His mother cooked horse spleen soup on that day, so the lake that now covers the place where their ger once stood is known as "Spleen Lake".
Travel by train to the copper mining city of Erdenet, then cycle 300 km in the remote mountains and valleys of Bulgan and Selenge provinces to finish at the remarkable Buddhist monastery of Amarbayasgalant.
Fly to the northern edge of the Gobi Desert then cycle 400 km over the remote and spectacular Khangai mountain range to finish at Kharkhorin where the center
of the great Mongol Empire once stood.
Take
your group to the heart of Mongolia and ride in the mountains
and valleys of this amazing country. We can make a
trip anywhere in Mongolia that is especially suited to your cycling experience and
interests....
