About Bangalore's Best Trails
Worried about keeping up or fixing a flat tire? Don't be. Our support truck follows every group, carrying your extra gear, water, and tools while our mechanics handle any mid-ride snags. You just focus on the riding.
We scout these routes to keep you off the main roads and away from heavy traffic. Whether you want a relaxed 25km spin or a technical 65km climb, we have a route for you.
Our ride levels make it easy to choose your challenge:
- Level 1: Mostly flat, scenic, and steady. Perfect for first-timers.
- Level 2: Mixed terrain with fun descents and a few climbs.
- Level 3: Long and technical. For riders who love the burn.
We ride through areas like the Nandi hills, Hesaraghatta, and the Arkavathi reservoir. These spots offer a mix of dirt, gravel, and quiet tarmac that you will not find on a standard GPS map. If you do not have an off-road bike, you can rent one of our high-end adventure bikes. We also handle transport for your own cycle if you have a preferred machine you want to ride.
Each ride includes unlimited water, electrolytes, and a post-ride breakfast at a farmhouse or camping spot. You are never left to fend for yourself; our lead riders set the pace, and our sweep riders ensure no one gets left behind.
