EagleRider, the world’s largest luxury motorcycle tour company, was launched in 1992 in the USA and now has expanded all across the globe. In the past two decades of its operation, it has transformed the concept of bike rental with their tailor-made tours that help travellers explore the country’s landscapes in the best way possible. They offer a variety of options and also have membership programs. They have a fleet of motorcycles from Harley-Davidson, Indian Motorcycles, Honda, Triumph, BMW Motorrad and Polaris Slingshot, and they are now in India.

The first India store of EagleRider is now operational at New Delhi and is conveniently located near the airport which should allow domestic and international travellers to rent luxury motorcycles for self-ride or they can opt for pre-determined guided tours and tailor-made adventure holidays within India and neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar. The motorcycles in their fleet include Harley Davidson, Triumph and Royal Enfield bikes.

The tailored-made tours include a cast array of choices of luxurious hotel all over India, a fleet of iconic motorcycles, and the option of going with a region-specific tour guide. You can also opt for a chase van for comfort or a spare bike for hassle-free riding. Along with the rental bike, the riders get a free open face DOT approved helmet to use during the trip. They can also rent safety riding gear, cameras and GPS at the store itself. In addition, saddle bags can be arranged and in case of a larger groups, a chase van to carry spares, luggage, camping gear, tech support, medical first aid can be made available.

For a word-class motorcycle rental company to step into our shores is an indicator of steady growth of the organised motorcycle tours sector in India, as opposed to a couple of years back where such tours were concentrated in America and Europe.
