Suitability

This trip is recommended for riders who enjoy and have some off-road experience, but you don’t have to be an expert to get the best out of this trip. This tour is mainly on jeep trails and single track. While off-road riding is not that technical, some experience is recommended. The support vehicle cannot always follow but will meet the group at certain points along the trail.

Biking Conditions

You’ll ride 95 km (59 miles) in two full cycling days and one half day on this moderate mountain biking tour. We’ll ride on a single track in between rice fields and on small countryside roads through quaint local communities.

Bikes

The bikes are Trek 4700 mountain bikes with lightweight alloy frames, 30-speed gearing, disc brakes, Shimano components, and front suspension.

Bike Repairs

Basic spares and tools are carried by the guide and on the support vehicle, though we cannot guarantee having spares for every conceivable problem. Carrying a basic tool kit, a spare tube, and a pump while riding is recommended.

Safety

Wearing a helmet is required on all our biking adventures and is non-negotiable. If you do not wear a helmet you will not be allowed to cycle. Your tour leader is trained in first aid and emergency rescue, but to a large degree you must be responsible for your own safety while riding. It is therefore compulsory that you take out travel insurance that will cover you for a mountain biking tour.

Indonesia is a vast archipelago affected by a series of weather patterns, and depending on which island you are on, the weather can be hot and wet or hot and dry. Indonesia’s monsoonal climate usually means short heavy downpours rather than all-day, never-ending rain.

Located 8 degrees south of the equator, Bali is home to a tropical climate with constant temperatures during the day ranging from 28°C (82.4°F) to 30°C (86°F) at sea level, although the humidity varies throughout the year. It is highest during the rainy season which is from December to March and gradually reduces to its lowest level from May to September, when a beautiful dry cooling breeze blows across from Australia.

Keeping you completely hydrated is a job we take very seriously. Cold water, some energy-restoring local fruit and soft drinks are included in the tour price. We are riding in a Muslim country and though beer is available, it might not be served in some restaurants. If you choose to purchase some beer, please note that it’s not included in the price.

Please keep in mind that departures are not guaranteed because there are no scheduled departures for this trip. But please send us an inquiry telling us when you’d like to go, how many people are in your group, and we’ll get back to you shortly.
