How MTB Coaching Works
Skills first. Trails when you're ready.
Singapore's mountain bike trails aren't beginner-friendly. Heading to a trail without the right technique is dangerous and demoralising. Coach Fai uses a two-phase approach to make sure you're genuinely ready before you hit the trails.
Phase One
Skills Building
Conducted in a closed environment — a car park or open hardcourt. No trail hazards, full focus on technique. Body positioning, braking control, gear selection, cornering, and obstacle handling — all built on solid ground before you ever see a root or a drop.
- ✓ Body position & balance
- ✓ Braking technique
- ✓ Gear selection & cadence
- ✓ Cornering & slow-speed control
- ✓ Bikes provided
Phase Two
Trail Sessions
Once your fundamentals are solid, you're ready for the real thing. Trail sessions are conducted at Mandai Track 15 or Chestnut Nature Park — two of Singapore's best-maintained mountain bike trails. Minimum 2 hours per session. You bring your own bicycle.
- ✓ Mandai Track 15 or Chestnut Nature Park
- ✓ Slope & descent technique
- ✓ Root, rock & obstacle navigation
- ✓ Trail safety & hazard reading
- ✓ Own bicycle required
Who is this for?
MTB lessons are open to kids and adults with no age ceiling — the prerequisite is that you can already ride a standard bicycle confidently. Sessions are private: either one-on-one with Coach Fai, or a private group of friends and family at the same ability level. Coach Fai will tell you honestly how many sessions you'll likely need — no upsell.
