Our Story

The Who, Where
and Why Outlandica?

Outlandica was born from our own experience of renting motorcycles all around the globe. We've seen the good, the bad and the worst. We've been through it all, and set out to build a company made by riders, for riders.

How It Started

Two Friends,
One Idea

We're Cristi and Tudor, two passionate riders from Transylvania. That's us in the photo. You might not see our faces, but what you can know for sure is that we are very happy to be out on a motorcycle. We've spent years travelling through Romania and beyond, from the dunes of Morocco to remote villages in Vietnam. We've raced together through rallies and hard enduros, and ridden some of the most spectacular places two wheels have ever gone.

Along the way, we've rented bikes from sketchy places, with stinky helmets and poorly maintained machines. We've seen how motorcycle rentals should and shouldn't look, how real people make the difference, and how much local experience can turn a regular trip into a memory you'll never forget. So we decided to share what we know on our own turf, and build the company we wished existed years ago.

What Drives Us

How We Think
About Riding

01

No Surprises

All of our prices are final and transparent, with no added fees. What you see is what you get.

02

Rider to Rider

We're always happy to help and share all the local expertise you'd ever need. Whatever the problem, we can fix it, and do it quickly.

03

Quality Assurance

Fully serviced bikes with up-to-date maintenance records. Clean, modern gear for every rental. Machines prepared for the terrain ahead. And that's just a small part of our commitment.

04

Local Knowledge

We'll share everything there is to know about our amazing backcountry, the best twisties, hidden gravel roads, and unknown corners of the wild. All in a legal, safe environment.

The People

Meet The
Founders

Cristi Roșu — Co-founder of Outlandica

Cristi Roșu

I'm the one behind the routes and tours at Outlandica. I've finished Red Bull Romaniacs and stood on podiums at Carta Rally and Dinaric Rally. I love racing enduro and rally, but my greatest joy is travelling and exploring on a motorcycle. I like to leave room to improvise. My own trips are never fixed too far in advance, and honestly that's where the best memories and adventures tend to come from.

Tudor Stupariu — Co-founder of Outlandica

Tudor Stupariu

Some might know me as the face behind the KRANKiT YouTube channel. I've come to love everything about off-road riding and exploring, and I've been sharing those stories as short films online. We've tackled Romaniacs, international rallies, and plenty more. And now I want to share my local backyard with everyone.

Why Here

Romania Is
(Still) Underrated

You've probably heard of the Transfăgărășan or the Transalpina. Top Gear made these mountain passes famous, and for good reason. They're incredible. But Romania has so much more to offer.

The unbeaten path. Gravel mountain roads. Remote villages that seem stuck in time, where you can stop and eat like the locals, discovering a side of Romania you'll never see in pictures. A wild, beautiful country that humbles you at every step, and takes your breath away while it's at it.

Cluj-Napoca is our base, with a well-connected international airport just 20 minutes from the city center. Ride for 30 minutes and you're in the Carpathian mountains. No long transit rides, no boring highways. It's all within arm's reach.

Ready?

Let's Ride

Pick a bike, pick a route, and we'll handle the rest. Or just reach out, we're happy to help you plan.
