Kenny Gorham is an avid mountain biker and a Moab local who has been a MTB guide since 2017. He started riding bikes in his mid 20s and realized he would trade his office job for mountain biking trails any day.

Jared and Heather Fisher started their bicycle business in 1992. The business grew until it became too much for the two college students so they created a three-pronged team of friends, cyclists, mechanics, and guides, all with the same passion for biking! This passion lives on, thanks to all the friendships and experiences gained throughout the years.

Our group rented bikes from Ike and Kenny and had an amazing time! They were super friendly and knowledgeable, the bikes were in great condition and the rental spot was very convenient. The trails (Dead Horse) were a lot of fun too (we had beginner to advanced riders in our group). Would highly recommend!

The folks at Moab Cyclery were all very helpful and professional and our guide Jackie was outstanding. Organized a ride that met all our family\’s needs and experience level, was knowledgeable about the terrain and the Moab environment, and even helped with great tips about other hikes and experiences to consider. Highly recommended.

A Moab must!

My girlfriends and I rented bikes from Big Horn Mountain Biking and I had the best day I’ve had all year! Renting the bikes at the trail head takes all the fuss and planning out the trip, instead you get the enjoy the ride and the AMAZING VIEWS. The bikes were like new and perfectly tuned, and Ike was super friendly and helpful. Would love to go back and would definitely recommend as a Moab must!

Unforgettable
Up4Travels (source: TripAdvisor)

I normally never rate anything but this topnotch mtb outfitter deserves credit for fixing a booking that failed because of the 3rd party booking firm, TripOutside, neglected to follow through and follow up from my initial reservation. Kenny called out of concern and allowed us to experience my dream MTBing in the Moab area. We had new top full suspension bikes that were set up perfectly for our riding at Dead Horse. Book directly with Kenny and his professional team members.You won’t regret!

Ronald Naminski

My guide Dominic was very personable and knowledgeable about the trails, and surrounding geology.

I had a blast riding with Dominic and would request joining his rides when next that I visit the Moab area.

I feel like I found a new friend.

Just what I was looking for as an introduction to the Moab area and Dead Horse Point
