Key Rules To Ride Smart and Safe

- Safety Gear: Always wear a helmet, gloves, boots, and protective clothing. Safety first!
- Bike Requirements: Make sure your bike is in top shape—good brakes, high-traction tyres, working lights, and a quiet exhaust are a must.

- Stay on Legal Roads: It’s illegal to ride motor vehicles across protected natural parks countryside areas, firebreaks, forest roads for logging, livestock trails, riverbeds, and any other areas not specifically meant for motorbikes. Reach out to local guides for the best tips and info.
- Respect Nature: Stick to designated trails and avoid disturbing wildlife or damaging vegetation. Avoid singletracks to prevent trail erosion.
- Noise Control: Keep the noise down to avoid annoying locals and wildlife. Some places have strict noise limits. Use stock exhausts.
