THE LOGISTICS

Park-and-ride simplicity

Rentals are based from a park-and-ride location in Donnelly—no trailering required—so your day starts at a centralized pickup rather than a private trailhead or transport yard.

THE INCLUSIONS

Helmet and fuel ready at pickup

Each rental includes a helmet and the first tank of fuel, letting you ride straight away from the pickup point without an initial run to a gas station.

THE PACKAGES

Multi-day rates for extended exploration

Daily pricing scales into several multi-day options with incremental discounts for longer bookings, making it simple to plan anything from a quick two-day outing to nearly a week of riding.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to rent the YZ 450 FX

The rental strips the logistics out of a big-ride day: you arrive at the Donnelly park-and-ride, collect a helmet and a topped-off tank, sign the paperwork, and push off into whatever loop or route you’ve planned. The focus is on time in the saddle—covering ground, practicing technical sections, or clocking miles—without the drag of hauling or prepping a machine.
