Mountain Biking Kent Ridge, Singapore | THE SOLO MISSION
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- I check out the black-rated lines of one of the best-kept trail gems in southern Singapore. A compact yet challenging mountain bike spot, Kent Ridge sits adjacent to Bukit Chandu, historic site of some of the heaviest fighting during the WWII invasion of Singapore.

This is very useful to newbie riders like me. Getting to a trail head and wondering if the trail is a loop are important things to know and you can hardly find any concrete info on this. Keep up the good work!
Jonathan Lim Wee Leng, Glad I could help!
Best detailed review. I'm going this week for the very 1st time. At least i knew what i'm expecting. Thanky
morbid13vader hey there, you’re most welcome! Have a safe and enjoyable first ride there 🤘🏼
Hey thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. Been sway for so long, didn't event realized that there are such good trails. Nice to have someone showing and guiding on the local Singapore trails. Will definitely check it out on my next trip back.
leslie chong thanks mate!
Nice video abt a lesser known trail. Big thumbs up for the gimbal, tbh it's the first local trail video I've seen that used one.
Mark Lee thanks! More local POV videos coming - appreciate you continuing tuning in if you like them. and yes props to the gimbal... loving it!
Excellent preview of the rare collection of local trails
Glenn Chia thanks man! Just doing my little bit to get more folks aware of the good riding we have available
nice one, will try to go there this weekend!!!!
Timothe go for it buddy 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎
Awesome! Really enjoyed watching your video. Keep it up man! God Bless You.
Another outstanding vid. I gotta figure out Bukit Timah first but you got be eager for this one.
Nice clip thanks for doing this!! Makes me wanna check it out... Haven't been there in 10 years probably!
elty19 nice... go for it!! 💪🏼 glad u enjoyed the vid
The last time I went Kent Ridge when they had their last DH race event here.....Reason, too far from North and got to drive there, I prefer to ride on my bike to the trails. Usually I'll start from Woodlands to T15 trail of towards Chestnut and BT. Rest a while and reverse back home.
Been riding this trail two weeks ago. It was raining that time. Me and my buddy had fun, only this trail is super short.... the downhill trail is short but fun, the downhill trail does have some good drops, I don't suggest inexperienced riders go do that downhill trail.
wow surprisingly dry, chestnut south and north is quite a mud fest.
Toj meister my sentiments exactly when I shot this ;)
Bro next Vid do ketam trail woohoo!!
i wonder why they didnt make bukit timah into whistler because i am pretty sure we can have a mtb trail down the gentle side of bukit timah,lots of potential there.
Spoofy Tofuwu hmmm quite different comparing two different locations; and competing land usage needs I guess
Cool🤘 good to see new trails👍
Subscribed! Well documented and fun rides!
Damien Loh thanks buddy! Hope to see you out there trailing soon
nice recce piece thank you!!
My pleasure! Most welcome.
Hi lol I'm 12 and this helped me and my dad to mountain bike thanks for the places
wow bro you are a real pro..I wouldnt last 1min on that narrow trail without hiting a tree or root or something..definitely not for guys who have never tried such trials, and yes, its a must to have a partner or two to follow, otherwise there might be one injured guy bleeding to death in no mans land.
Richard ang aww thanks! not a pro here just making sure others who try this trail out don't get into trouble
good to know that mtb trails have parking lot!
Hi, great video.
Nice video! 💯
Nice ride bro 👍
I was using a hardtail and it's kinda nervous going in seeing people with full sus feel like I'm being look down for using a hardtail
Let me assure you, they're jealous if you're riding a hard tail because they know it's not easy to bomb down a hard tail at Kent Ridge or any other trail.
thumbs up man
How do you rate kent ridge xc trail vs bukit timah vs ketam? By difficulty and tehcnicality
New sub here!
Nice channel!
Thanks! :)
I’d say that scorpion in chestnut is the best for downhill
I love Scorpion, but it's technically an illegal trail... it's also far easier to ride than either the DH or XC trails at Kent Ridge - definitely not what would be considered a "DH Trail" anywhere but Singapore, more of a flowing XC trail.
I am definitely not a pro mountain biker, hell this terrain is hell to me 😢😞, I guess Bukit Timah still better for beginner like me😩, anyway thanks for the video😊
Li Jinxing give it a try when you are ready... enjoy your rides always!👍🏼👍🏼
Yo, go to chestnut park (south) first! I think it's the best place to start. Cheers and good luck.
Hello, I really liked your video. I would be moving to Singapore in a few months and I need to know the following. I practice MTB in Mexico and with a lot of experience in DH. I own my bike which is a Remedy 29 2017 double cushioning. I want to analyze if it is convenient for me to take my bike from here or sell it here and buy me one there. Could you help me by passing me tips on where to see prices and materials. Thank you
Hi Daniel! Thanks for the great question - I would 100% advise you bring your bike over here and use it! Buying a bike here in Singapore can add up to substantial $$$, but on the flip-side, there are lots of bike shops here which you can choose from to get s new bike. I like to recommend togoparts.com to view the comprehensive listing of local bike shops there... as well as the 2nd hand market place there, which could be another option for you.
Ok thanks for the info. where do i get into a group of MTB here. I am actually located at 19 Fort Road.
I went here yesterday but I think I went to the wrong way as it was my first time on trail
Erm as a new rider do u think it is ok if me and my friends go to the downhill trail ?
seth lee hey, it’s best if you guys go with someone who has ridden the trail before (someone more experienced). They can tell you what key trail features to look out for and perhaps how to ride them, or alternative ways of riding the descent - there are a couple of bypasses or ‘B-lines’ to two of the drops on this line, for instance. Have fun!
NO
Mandi trial by the zoo would be nice
What watch you wearing?
Which camera model did you use to record this? Very cool video btw :)
Hi wilson would u recommend wearing knee and arm pads/shoulder pads while riding mtb in Singapore?
Not really recommend unless u ride trails like chestnut bike park then it is a must for safety
@@sy-yh4xf thanks
Ker Evans your welcome
Hello raw epics. Have you been to whistler?
Hi there, are you familiar with Bike Sports MTB in Singapore? I'm looking to buy a bike from there but not sure if they are legit or not! Thanks
Joseph Foster hmmm I’m afraid not, sorry! It’s good to always buy fro Ma reputable dealer especially a shop which is a MTB speciality outlet
@@RawEpics Thanks for the reply. I have since discovered that it was a scam website, based in Indonesia and claiming to have a business in Singapore! Website was pretty slick but when they emailed me back I realised something was up.
Joseph Foster thanks for the info. This is certainly enlightening and I’m sure there are other riders out there who might fall for this if they are not as careful as you! Go to a legit store
Hi, Anyone knows how can I rent or buy a nice second hand MTB in Singapore? I will work here for two years. So I don't want to buy new bike. Thanks.
It's better to buy a new bike now. COVID has driven up bike demand and the used prices are hyperinflated. Check out Rodalink with the Polygon bikes. They have good quality components for each price point.
@@mikehuang1369 Great. Thanks for your great suggestions.
Try Java Furia….It’s a full suspension bike!! It’s affordable that you can get a new one! Usally bikes cost 1.5k plus but Java Furia 2021 models is $920 only! Worth it man!!
Is hardtail bikes are ok for this trail ?
aswin arshad yup! i first rode these trails years ago on a hardtail
Awesome trails but too bad only for cycling
Nice edit again! Kent ridge is lots of fun. You should that try that last big drop from a straight angle (or no angle) instagram.com/p/BYPZUvglr-O/ gives you more airtime:)
Haha, not by myself, and for the first time, i wouldn't! Have to go with a buddy... you keen to ride together some time Knut?
Thanks Knut! Well done on sending that biggie directly! :)
True, best not to do alone :) Yes would be fun, I am hoping to get some time this weekend to go to KR. Chestnut and BT too wet still
Thanks, I had 6-7 locals watching me so didn't have a choice haha :)
boss can get some stickers?hehe RAW Epics
holy shit
What's the best mtb brakes
Jun Wei hydraulic
Is this really a trail for cross country?
方大为 probably more of an aggressive XC trail. Would not recommend it for novices, but for intermediate and advanced riders it’s quite fun to tackle!
