About us
This company started on the Ho Chi Minh Trail a few years ago when TJ met a few riders on the trail with beat-up Honda 150xr bikes that they rented, and they were picking their way through Vietnam.
At that moment, on that road, under that tree: nobody cares what kind of bike you’re on. It’s about the moment, the place, and the people around you; it’s about the riding experience itself. The quality of the bike does make a huge difference to this experience.
For us, bikes are about getting deep into the backcountry of Vietnam, heading out to the central highlands, the great Vietnamese coastlines, or islands in search of epic fantastic routes that the country has to offer.
ART aims to improve that experience. We started this business with a basic question: why is there such a large gap between the quality of bikes for rental in Vietnam?and the gear available for bikes?
Bike & gear requires a unique balance between power, durability, weight, but the fundamental needs are the same: tough, balance between power & weight-conscious well maintained bikes that can survive Vietnam, provide the necessary comfort in the unsupported travel through highly abusive Vietnamese terrain.
