AN EPIC WEEKEND CLIMBING ADVENTURE | FRASER'S HILL | CYCLING IN MALAYSIA

- I would like to preface this video with some context for our overseas viewers. Singapore is flat - there are no proper climbs. The most popular local climb is called Mount Faber, about 93m in elevation.
We wanted an accessible climb in the region for us to complete within a weekend, something with nice hairpins, decent elevation and most importantly an adventure to remember.
In this episode, we climb Fraser's Hill. It is about a 4-5 hour drive from Singapore. 37km in length with 1500m elevation, average gradient 4-5%. Snaky hairpins, all-day riding weather, low traffic. Along the way there was great banter, some food, lots of fun. It was an adventure to remember.
Check out the route we did: / strava

Amazing video
I like this view! It makes me miss my home Malaysia as I’m overseas now hahaha
Cinematography getting better and better bro. Love it! Kipidap!
Thanks!!
epic episode sir 🙌
Welcome to my backyard. Plenty of scenic routes here. Just be careful on the port holes and land slide areas. Lots of mud and sand along those places from the recent heavy rains
man his videos just gets better and better
Thanks man!!
Great .
Next level with the drone man
Glad you enjoyed it!
FANTASTIC JOB ! man really enjoyed the video loved the climb thought it was beautiful don’t get much scenery like that in Canada 🇨🇦
sadly we are coming to the end of biking here in Canada 🇨🇦 early sun set and weather starts to be ugly too.
Hahaha 😆. No more good morning than 😉
Amazing video. Looks like a great ride too!!
Very very good
@@thewinsty the descent is amazing. looking forward to more drone shots too !
thanks for showing this beautiful side of MY to cyclists all over
Coming from Singapore, I am really envious of all the routes and vastness of your country. It allows for great adventures without a plane ride. Thanks to all Malaysians for always being so welcoming.
I agree. You guys are so lucky to have so many beautiful places to ride and many hills for climbing ❤️.
To add, your transport system is also bike friendly. Seen a CZcams by Ash C, showing how he ride from one location to the next and catches the train back home. Just love it.
Just hope the day will come when Singapore trains system alot this too. Then I will ride to work and take a train back after work.
Hi Doc, would you mind sharing where is the start point and place to stay for this ride ? Am thinking of driving there to check it out. Many thanks in advance. SK
Start point is essentially Kuala Kubu Bahru itself (nearest town, where we started), but you can start anywhere before that as well like Batang Kali, there is no official start point. We stayed at Airbnb at KKB. Homestay at Kampung Kelapa
@@thewinsty Thank you,Doc.
Good for recreational rides.
awasome!
Drone shot baby!
Hey winston. Nice videography skills
Thanks for watching!
You've motivated me to get a S-works tarmac SL 7 now lol. (No Originality😅),You and the crew have to come to Australia and try out the mountains, plenty of scenic routes & views HAHA.
Nice Bro 😀
hello . i'm from indonesian . i like your video
It's good that you can cross-over to Malaysia so you can cycle there! I understand the limitations of cycling (be it road cycling or mountainbiking) in SG. If I'm there, I'd clamour to go to new biking sites as well.
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
Yes absolutely. Cheers!
Nice KKB ride.
I mean, nice 'Kuala Kubu Bahru' ride, of course.
Finding a breakfast at the top of a climb is class
Missed the long drives up to Rawang before heading to KKB for the Frasers climb. Likewise, the descent back from the peak to KKB is equally fun. BTW, do you know that there used to be a village settlement where the damm water is now?
Thank you for sharing your adventure which is a good call for my next trip there.
Nice work climbing on those DT Swiss wheels. Not exactly light wheels. That gives me some faith since why wheels are also not very light.
Just enjoy the slow ride up and enjoy the scenery!
Try Bromo KOM 2023 in East Java. It would be fun.
Powerrr 💪
Thanks bro
Like your videos! Can i ask what vitamins or supliment you are taking? Hope to see you on the road! ☺️
Ku Ku Bird 😂
Super nice videography. Must have spend a ton of time editing
Haha indeed, thanks for recognizing that!
How is the decending like?
Really nice vlog, would love to do something like this for my PBP 2023.
The three colour jersey, where do they come from?
We use verge custom
@@thewinsty thank you, really good design,
Awesome! May I know what cassette were you having climbing Fraser?
Hi! I was on 11-28 cassette
@@thewinsty powerful!
Nice video bro. Come to sabah. Cover my place. 👍🤣🤣
cool bike f12..you must be rich!..what do you do for living?
He a doctor. 🥼🩺
Is it ok to descend on this hill using carbon rim brakes?
I think it should be fine, it isn’t too steep
Welcome to Malaysia.. I started watching your video 3 months ago.. hope you enjoy KKB-Fraser route.. we do have KOM KKB-Fraser on this 25 September 2022.. you may check out Hulu Selangor KOM
You should try Mt. Jerai as well.. but it is a bit far up to the north.. but worth the trip 😊
Will check those out, thanks! Looking to do more climbs over there but need to find the time as well 😅
holy shit bro the production quality rly gg up lfg
Hahaha thanks man 🙌🏻
