Bikes

Yamaha WR155R

We ride Yamaha WR155Rs — light, agile, and built for dirt. Perfect for learning. Tough enough for trails. Ours are brand-new or nearly new — way better than your average rental.

KTM EXC 200

Want power? We’ve got KTM 2-strokes for that. Offroad-ready, razor-sharp, and built for Vietnam’s toughest terrain. It’s the same beast Coach Petteri races — and wins with.
