Introducing Motorbike Tours in Mongolia by 2010 KTM 450EXC
Wondering where to go for your next impressive motorbike trip ? Why not join one of our guided motorcycle tours in Mongolia ? An off-road trail bike adventure is now a real possibility in this remote and undiscovered part of the world.
Enjoy the breathtaking contrast between desert, steppe & mountain scenery whilst we take care of your comfort, safety and all the logistics. You will find the experience of motorbike touring in Mongolia is not only challenging and lots of fun, but you will gain an insight into a completely different way of life, that of Mongolia's nomads.
2010 Motorcycle Tour in Mongolia
For the past few years OTMT have been using Yamaha WR250F motorbikes (that's why all our photos and videos show the blue Yamaha WR). They were great - but now we've gone one better. From 2010 we will be using new KTM 450 EXC off road enduro bikes for our scheduled motorbike trips in Mongolia.
Why The KTM 450 EXC Enduro? For your convenience and pleasure we have a fleet of KTM 450 EXC enduro bikes for our trail bike tours in Mongolia. As one of the most successful Enduro bikes of recent years, the KTM 450 EXC still has but one aim in the world championship title. A new frame design, the perfected settings and an ultra-powerful DOHC engine with the latest technology once again raise the bar for the competition.
Extremely light, ultra-agile and with endless power – the signs of a champion in 2010!
This is a model which has won more Enduro World Championships than any other, and has been designed to deliver superb performance over any terrain. Real dirt bike riders will already know that such a bike can readily meet the challenge. Its light weight at only 113 kg, electronic and kick start capability, height and reliability, make it ideally suited to Mongolia's rough and remote location.See Detailed Specifications
Motorbike Off Road Training Before coming to Mongolia, if you want to develop your off-road motorcycling skills and to increase your confidence on an enduro motorbike, we recommend a short training course in Wales, UK. Professional trainers offer off-road and enduro courses for experienced riders as well as beginners. www.yamaha-offroad-experience.co.uk
Road Conditions Mongolia is the ideal country for an off-road motorcycle experience since this country the size of Western Europe has only a few hundred kilometers of black-topped roads. The rest of the land is connected by a network of rough jeep tracks
Off-Road Motorcycle Expedition Road Conditions and horse trails linking small communities and seasonal pastures. Motorbike holidays in Mongolia give you a unique opportunity to ride wherever you want because most of the land is not privately owned, so you are not even restricted to the jeep tracks and horse trails.
Communication Equipment For our motor biking trips in Mongolia we have satellite telephones for use on more remote tours in places where there is no mobile phone reception. We use the Globalstar network which has complete international coverage and our association with Monsat, Globalstar's official distributor in Mongolia, ensures reliable communication at any time from any place.
All our support vehicles are fitted with long distance two-way radios enabling contact between the tour leader and drivers for distances of up to fifty kilometers. The equipment is supplied by http://www.wildtalk.com
Emergency Rescue Motorcycling is an extreme sport and many of our tours are quite literally "off the map" as we travel to some of the most remote parts of the country. We therefore have a contract with Central Mongolia Airways to provide emergency Mi-8 Helicopter
Mi-8 Helicopter rescue. They are on standby 24 hours a day and would be called from our sat phone and provided with our GPS reference in order to mobilize the rescue team.
Accommodation & Facilities In order to provide you with the most comfortable and suitable accommodation for your Mongolian motorbike tour in the wildest conditions, we have teamed up with Vango and their branch Force 10 to give you a high quality camping experience. We have chosen models such as the Baltoro and the Vango Storm 300
Vango Storm 300 Three Man 4 Season Tent which suit the extreme weather as well as client requirements. All our tents are kept in good condition and have been proven to withstand heavy rain, strong winds and even snow up in the mountains during the summer. They have double doors with mosquito netting, to allow through draft when it is hot.
Logistics Off The Map Tours have years of experience in organizing mountain biking and other activity tours in Mongolia for groups of up to 40 people. For the motorcycle tours in Mongolia we have heavy duty motorbike trailers
Motorbike Racks Supplied TrukRax Ltd fitted with special bike racks made by TrukRax Ltd. http://www.trukrax.co.uk. We take care of all the logistics of your trip from the time of your booking to the end of your tour, attempting to foresee all eventualities to be prepared
because outside Ulaanbaatar one cannot depend
on anything being available.
Support Vehicles All our vehicles are owned and maintained by us and driven by our own company drivers. We do not hire vehicles from outside, nor do we use drivers who we do not know. Our vehicles include the Kamaz bus (winner of Dakar rally truck section) and Russian UAZ Forgons as well as Land Rover Defenders and ex-British army 4x4 Reynolds Boughton RB44
Dodge 50 Cargo Truck 4x4 (Dodge 50 Cargo Trucks).

Food & Drink A professional cook will provide three substantial meals each day throughout your motorcycle touring holiday and for larger groups thekitchen tent
Dinning Table & Mess Tentis used. She can cater for vegetarians if informed in advance. Meals are a mixture of European and Mongolian dishes. Bottled mineral water or pure spring water is provided, as well as snacks for break times.
Motorbike Maintenance & Mechanical Support Our KTM motorbikes are brand new and our Yamaha WR250F bikes were new in 2007 and 2008, so should require little attention. They have been chosen with reliability in mind, but in any case will be well maintained by our regular mechanics. If you decide to bring a selection of your own essential tools, of course you can do so, and if you bring your own motorbike it is up to you to decide what
tools and parts you might need.
What To Bring When you make a booking to join one of our off-road motorbike expeditions in Mongolia, you will receive
a Tour Dossier in which there is a complete list
of all you need to take in the way of equipment,
clothing, medicines, etc.. Generally speaking we have the tools that we are likely to need
for maintenance and repair of our own (hired)
motorbikes, but you will need to bring your own helmet and suitable clothing.
