Motorbike Gear for Long Trips in Bali
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 3 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Motorbike gear for long trips in Bali is best sorted before you set off, not when the rain starts halfway along the road. This guide covers what to bring, what comes included when you rent, and what you should add yourself.
Bali is small, but routes like Kuta to Kintamani, Ubud to Amed, or Denpasar to Lovina can take hours on winding, uphill roads, and rain can arrive suddenly. The right gear makes a long ride feel much safer and far less tiring.
Essential Gear to Bring
Here is the basic list to keep in your bag or on your body:
- A standard SNI-certified helmet that fits snugly and has the chin strap properly fastened.
- A rain jacket that covers your body and bag, because rain in the highlands can come quickly.
- Gloves to protect your hands from wind and sun.
- Glasses or eye protection so dust and insects stay out of your eyes.
- Sunscreen and a cap or buff to protect your neck.
- A water bottle and light snacks.
- A power bank and cable for your phone, which you may use for navigation.
- A waist pouch or small bag to keep documents and your wallet dry.
Documents You Must Carry
When riding in Indonesia, make sure you carry the right documents. Foreign visitors who ride should carry their home-country licence together with an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the motorcycle category. These rules can change, so check the official source from the police or your embassy before you travel. Also keep your passport or ID with you as required by current rules.
