The Montana Backcountry Discovery Routes (MTBDR) drops soon! It's set to be one of the most epic additions to the entire BDR network! We're talking roughly 1,000 miles of pure Montana magic: high-alpine ridgelines over 9,000 ft, fast-flowing gravel, rugged two-track, pine forests, sprawling ranchlands, historic mining towns like Virginia City, and remote wilderness through more than 13 mountain ranges from Island Park, ID, all the way north to the Canadian border.
We're pumped to be just down the road from the route and help support it with Bikes, Guides, Gear, TIps, Tricks and more. https://www.flatheadoutdoors.com/ride-the-montana-bdr-with-flathead-outdoors-your-backcountry-adventure-awaits
Our rental fleet is built for this route:
Yamaha Ténéré 700 - Kove 450 (My Favorite) - GasGas ES500 - Husqvarna FE501 – And a few new additions coming.
Every bike comes fully prepped:
- BDR route loaded on GPS
- Reckless 80L rackless luggage (no heavy racks, low center of gravity, bombproof Cordura construction, modular for multi-day trips)
- Full camping kit (tent, stove, cookware)
Just bring your sleeping bag, food, and personal gear — fly in, roll out, and hit the dirt.
Riding and Safety Gear Available to Rent
We’re locals who know these mountains inside out: grizzly country awareness, weather patterns, hidden campsites along rivers and lakes, resupply stops plus optional guided support along certain routes if you want trail leaders handling navigation, meals, and logistics.
Whether you're planning a solo self-supported ride or want us to get you dialed fast with route and insider tips, the Montana BDR is calling — and we're ready to help you answer.
