New Dual Terrain tour launch

Come join us for a challenging and fun new riding adventure !

The large adventure bike segment continues to grow with more and more (usually more mature age) riders looking to explore a little off the main roads, without taking the extreme conditions of single trail enduro riding.

At Bike Tour Asia we want to provide an option for this type of motorcycle travel/riding and over the last season we spent many days and weeks going over maps, scouting roads and trails to try and come up with a program that can satisfy that desire to travel some unsealed road sections to give our guests some new but manageable challenges on our BMW GS and Triumph Tigers.


The tour we have designed is named the "GS Trophy Experience" as it happens to follow some of the roads used as part of the official GS Trophy rally when it was hosted in Northern Thailand (2016).


While there is a focus on the unsealed road sections we still include some of the famous (and enjoyable!) great paved road sections of Northern Thailand with there seemingly endless curves.


*Note that while we do rate this tour riding as not 'extreme' it should be clear that you do need to have good experience and confidence to handle a large adventure motorcycle is conditions of gravel, sand, small water crossings, etc.

*Quality off-road motorcycle riding gear is essential.


Check the webpage for departure dates and just get in touch with any specific questions regarding this new program.


Always enjoy the ride !

BTA Team.
