Cambodia offers a complete range of riding conditions which will appeal to every kind of rider, whether you're looking for an adrenalin filled challenge or a laidback cruise. Roads range from pot-holed tarmac to red clay to grassy trails and rocky jungle paths. Here's a guideline:
- Tarmac / Pot-holed tarmac / Packed Gravel - The easiest surfaces you'll come across, but watch out for farm animals and unfinished bridges
- Red dirt - The most common road type in Cambodia. Surfaces vary, from smooth to rutted and potholed; easier in the dry season but deteriorate every rainy season.
-
Broken tarmac - A tricky surface with loose rocks and sand patches
- Ox cart tracks - Often very sandy during the dry season, less-so during the monsoon months
- Rice paddies- Negotiate the dikes and irrigation canals; dry season only
- Jungle Trails - The most challenging conditions - ridges, ruts, rocks, sand and clay, sometimes impassable depending on water levels
