How Does Luggage Work on a Motorbike Tour?

The most common question travelers ask is: 'What happens to my big backpack or suitcase?'

Every one of our motorcycles is equipped with a custom-engineered, reinforced rear steel luggage rack. Each morning, our guides place your large luggage into heavy-duty waterproof storm covers, strap them securely with heavy bungee tensioners, and lock them in place. Your luggage acts as a comfortable backrest while staying completely dry and dust-free.

Essential Daypack Checklist

While your main luggage stays strapped to the rear rack until the evening check-in, we recommend keeping a small 10–15L daypack with you containing:

• Sunscreen (SPF 50+) & sunglasses with UV protection • Lightweight windbreaker or fleece for high passes (temperatures can drop 10°C on Mã Pí Lèng or Đà Lạt) • Universal power bank & charging cables • Reusable water bottle • Personal medications & basic insect repellent • Swimwear & quick-dry micro-fiber towel for waterfall stops

💡 Pro Traveler Tip·Provided Safety Gear

We provide high-grade DOT-approved 3/4 or full-face helmets, reinforced elbow and knee armor guards, and heavy-duty breathable rain suits for all travelers at zero extra charge.
