A scooter that is not afraid of bad roads.
The ADV takes the maxi-scooter formula and raises the suspension, adds a screen and a longer travel front end. On the broken side roads around Son Tra and the approach to Ba Na it feels genuinely more capable than an NMAX. It is also the best of this class two-up with luggage — 28 litres under the seat swallows a full-face helmet and a day bag. The catch is the seat height and the price.
Same bike, different rentals. Compare and pick.
Took the ADV for two weeks with my wife, went to Hoi An and Hue. Suspension handles the broken tarmac out of town far better than a normal scooter. Two-up with luggage it is genuinely comfortable.
Free delivery to the hotel and free return, that saved real time. The bike had a top box which sounds minor until you spend a week with a backpack on your shoulders.
Good bike, fair company. The paperwork was only in Vietnamese and they translated verbally — I would have preferred something written I could actually read.
Rode this all over Son Tra including the broken concrete sections up to the pagoda. The raised suspension is not marketing — an NMAX would have been unpleasant there. Only note: at 162 cm I was on tiptoes at lights.
The 28-litre boot is the whole point. Two full-face helmets fit, which nothing else here manages. Rode to Hoi An and back most days, plus a run up Son Tra. Delivery was 20 minutes late but they messaged ahead.
