Big Bike Touring Chiang Mai has been a Byklo partner shop in Chiang Mai since 2025, specializing in 250-700cc touring motorbikes for the Mae Hong Son Loop, the Samoeng Loop, and the Chiang Mai-to-Pai run on Route 1095. Like all Byklo partners, Big Bike Touring accepts cash deposit only (never your original passport), supports online booking with confirmation before you land in Chiang Mai, and delivers the bike to hotels in the Old City and Nimman.
What Big Bike Touring brings to Byklo riders in Chiang Mai
Big Bike Touring Chiang Mai operates one of the city's specialist big-bike fleets, focused on the 250-700cc adventure and touring class rather than the 125cc Honda Click market that dominates Old City rentals. Typical fleet bikes in this band include 471cc parallel-twins like the Honda CB500X and 649cc machines like the Kawasaki Versys 650 (the standard pair for the Mae Hong Son Loop and its 1,864 documented curves on Route 1095), with smaller 250-400cc adventure bikes for riders building up to the full 600 km loop.
The Byklo booking flow handles the rest: pay a small holding fee online, get a written confirmation in your inbox, and have the bike delivered to your hotel near Tha Phae Gate or Nimman the day you arrive. Cash deposit replaces passport collateral, online pricing replaces the walk-from-shop-to-shop quote chase, and the local Big Bike Touring crew handles route briefings and breakdown support once you're on the road.
Why Big Bike Touring joined Byklo
Big Bike Touring shares Byklo's no-passport-deposit standard and the same online-first booking model that lets riders compare fleets across Chiang Mai before they land. Joining the network gives the shop visibility to two-wheel travelers who are specifically searching for a 500-650cc bike in Chiang Mai rather than the generic scooter market, and gives Byklo riders a vetted Northern Thailand specialist who knows Route 1095, Route 108, and the Pai descents from local experience rather than a tourist brochure.
For the broader Chiang Mai rental landscape, including the 125cc scooter market and how the big-bike fleet fits into it, see the Chiang Mai motorbike rental guide and the Pai loop scooter rental guide for the smaller-displacement alternative on Route 1095.
Book Big Bike Touring through Byklo
Lock in a 250-700cc touring bike from Big Bike Touring Chiang Mai through Byklo before you fly: cash deposit only, no passport surrender, hotel delivery in the Old City or Nimman, and a written booking confirmation that lets you land in Chiang Mai with the keys waiting. For the broader Northern Thailand context, the big bike rental Chiang Mai guide compares the CB500X and Versys 650 directly for the Mae Hong Son Loop.
The motorcycle-licence and IDP class every Byklo partner verifies at pickup is the one defined by the Thai Department of Land Transport; on the 500-650cc tier specifically, the 'A' endorsement is non-negotiable.
