If you’ve ever visited Bangkok then you would be forgiven for writing central Thailand off as MTB territory. Our Trips however take you on a one day trip just two and a half hours outside Bangkok to a 12 mile long xc single track trail in the mountains. Does this sound to good to be true? Well, the remote trails we use are technical and challenging for even an experienced mountain biker. They consist of steep up and downhill sections with sandy soil combined with rugged rocks and rock slab drop offs. The tracks are tough and technical but as with most good flowing single track, a less experienced rider can creep through, while more experienced riders can up the wattage and in doing so up the difficulty level. We will supply you with a front suspension hard tail mountain bike, a helmet and a camelbak pack. All water, food and other drinks are free. Our instructors with their knowledge and experience can take on some fantastic riding – technical descents, challenging climbs and great single track. The green trail consists of two great loops of fast flowing single track. It can be quite technical at times but keeps rewarding the rider with smooth flowing single track descents. There are about two or three streams to cross but these are relatively dry in the cool season (late November – January) and the dry season (January to April). The Blue trail is an excellent introduction ride into downill single track and is deffinately not an easy ride. The first part of the trail is a great single track loop with technical climbs and rewarding fast flowing sinle track descent. And as we start to climb again we are met by our support vehicle where it drives us to the peak of Khao E- To where we have refreshments before start our 2 mile singletrack down the less technical but still thrilling left side of Khao E-To mountain.
After that we crossing over onto the right side and hit some faster flowing singletrack before meeting back at the support vehicle for some food before heading back to Bangkok. There are about two streams to cross but these are relatively dry in the cool season (late November – January) and the dry season (January to April).

When you are planning to plunder the rough terrains of the mountains, the giant bikes are there to provide you with a firm support so that when you ride you have fewer chances of stumbling and falling.
Giant Mountain Motorbike – The Perfect Companion On Trails
The massiveness of the bike does not mean that the vehicle has weight. While constructing the bike, the prime intention of Giant is to help you maintain a low center of gravity along with lower paddle feedback. With full suspension and great technology, these mountain bikes make you move with confidence and ease.
There is no time to rest as you go through the list of advantages of giant mountain bikes – no power loss, no breaking influence, no paddle kickback along with a linear rising rate and exceptional traction. The bikes manufactured in Australia are massive maestros with the ability to fight the battle of hazardous mountainous journey. This particular bike type has been portrayed in one of the episodes of Good Morning America.
These giant motorcycles introduced by the Giant Company would cost you a little more than the regular mountain motorbikes, but what they offer is worth the price. These bikes offer both strength and comfort and they just rule the motorcycle market with overwhelming qualities. They are perfect companions and have been received numerous awards for their superior quality and outstanding performance.
These giant mountain bikes are more preferred for their durability rather than style. This is because the materials used to make this category of road rulers are simply the best of the lot. Giant bikes are meant for both recreation and competition. While the design is executed, the company follows a quality control process and the sort of customer service they provide sets a high level for other companies to meet.
The giant with its matt black finish and usual characteristic features astounds passers by with its magnificence in style and stature. Balance of strength is what matters the most in case of all mountain bikes and when talking of giant bikes on the mountains, the strength is well distributed throughout this mechanism on wheels.
These giant varieties boast of the lightest mid-range frames you would hardly notice in case of other bike varieties. The fork, brakes and the wheels contribute to the total weight of the bike and the rest is all light and easy to manage.
Usually anything massive gives you a feeling of extra weight and you feel hesitant in managing the mechanism. Only these world-class giant mountain motorbikes make you feel light and comfortable to ride on. Therefore, it is time to say YES! to giant mountain motorcycles.
