Las Vegas dirt bike riding. The desert starts at the city limits.

Dirt bike riding around Las Vegas means open desert, dunes, rocky climbs and long sandy washes. Here is when to ride, what the ground is like, what visitors need, and how to ride if your bike stayed home.

When
to ride.

Fall, winter and spring. Our own season runs September until it gets too hot, usually May. Summer in this desert is for air conditioning.

What the
ground is like.

Rocks. Sand. Loose gravel. Big hills up and down. Side hills. Around Las Vegas you can find hard pack and dunes in the same afternoon. It is real desert riding, and it is better with some experience under you.

Where to go is on the Las Vegas dirt bike trails page.

Rules for
visitors.

Nevada has an off-highway vehicle registration decal program. A vehicle registered or certified in another state, and in Nevada for no more than 15 days, does not need Nevada registration. Check the Nevada OHV program for the current rules before you haul a bike across a state line.

Our rental bikes are street-legal dual sports, so that part is handled.

No bike?
No problem.

Sold it, left it home, or flew in? A Las Vegas dirt bike rental with us includes the bike, the fuel and the whole supported day. See also sold your bike? ride again.

“You sold the bike.
Not the itch.”

What $399
gets you.

  • A high performance KTM or Husqvarna dual sport, with fuel.
  • A helmet, plus some additional riding gear if you ask ahead.
  • A chase truck carrying your gear.
  • Chef Ruth’s homemade trailside lunch, drinks and snacks.
  • A beer after the riding is done.

Bringing your own mechanically sound, street-legal small dual sport? That is $299 per rider, with everything else the same.

We start just outside Pahrump, Nevada, about 59 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. Meet at 7 AM, kickstands up at 8 AM. Groups of 3 to 6. Booking is not open yet, so get on the list and hear first.

Bring the skills.

You need a motorcycle license and intermediate to advanced desert-riding experience: rocks, sand, loose gravel, big hills up and down, and side hills. Small dual sport bikes only. No adventure (ADV) bikes. Read the full rider and bike requirements before you make plans.

of dust.
