King took my partner and I on the My Son loop. Amazing experience. Good amount of off roading. Got to see and feel some traditional vietnamese culture. The bike was in good condition and had plenty of power. King gave us ample time to explore My Son Temple. He was patient and informative. Highky recommend. Thankyou!

Highly recommended! Lona is incredibly kind, honest, and professional, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We rented a bike for 20 days and the experience was perfect from start to finish. The prices are very fair and a huge plus was the one-way rental option. Being able to drop off the bike at a different location was a total game changer for our trip. If you’re looking for a reliable bike and great service, this is the place!

We were so lucky to do a 6 day tour of the Ha Giang loop together with King. He knew every pathway and was a great guide. Also a great guy who's really funny. For me it was the first time doing off-road riding and he really kept that into account whilst still giving me lots of options to try new things. I learned a lot whilst driving though the beautiful countryside and mountains of Vietnam! The roads and views were amazing and I 1000% recommend! Thank you King 🏍️💨 🫶🏻
