THE ROUTE

Real trails, real terrain

Guide‑matched routes wind through bush tracks, hill climbs and technical sections across Off Road Adventures' private property above Queenstown, with pace and line chosen for the group's ability.

THE GEAR

Full MX kit provided

Head‑to‑toe professional motocross gear is supplied so riders arrive ready to focus on technique and line choice rather than kit.

THE FLEET

125–250cc standard, 400–450cc upgrade available

A range of 125–250cc class bikes are the standard fleet; experienced riders may opt for an upgrade to 400–450cc machines for a more powerful ride.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

The session is tightly staged: a brief check‑in in central Queenstown, a short transfer to the operator's private property, a fitting and safety briefing with full MX kit, then 1.5 hours of guided riding on trails tuned to the group's skill level — with photo stops and a return transfer to town.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this ride suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Experienced RidersWell matched: the tour is built for riders already comfortable on a motorcycle and offers technical trails and optional larger‑cc bikes for those with prior experience.
2
Families with TeensAppropriate for families with older children: ages 10 and up can ride, but under‑18s must ride with a paying parent or guardian on another bike.
3
Novice or First‑Time RidersNot ideal: this is not a beginner session — first‑timers should book the operator's Learn2Ride offering rather than this performance‑oriented tour.
4
Those with Medical or Mobility ConcernsNot suitable: riders who are pregnant, have recent injuries, back problems, or medical conditions affecting balance or mobility should not take this tour; a good level of fitness is recommended.
