Do you really recommend any body protection?

Glove/knee/elbows which most critical?

Can you please point me where i could get body protection? (price dosen't really matter for safety- but please not some overpriced shops)

ps- i'm planning to go putrajaya challenge park as my maiden ride(don't even know where is the entrece...). Is that a good idea or disaster waiting to happen? My mtb skill is, i can go down a flight of stairs and that's about it haha

Good stuffs, very helpful :thumbsup:  Definitely there will be lots of walking involved for me...

jamboree, do you mean join jamboree events?

Pivot M6c getting some dirt and gravity in Bakam trail yesterday.  Its been raining so much and part of the trail is just muddy!

If the cabling too messy can tight a cable tie on the clevis (notice closely, there's a place for cable tie), the black coloured hard short tube came with the frame.

U may find something diameter as a straw, length originally are 1cm (may taller as you he bigger shock), hard rubberised material as replacement.

bros, ok i just got a full set of mtb'ing stuff. My last mtb was 20years ago rigid frame, just to paint a picture where i'm at in this whole MTB'ing world.

Just got back from my first trip to Chiang Mai. What an awesome experience. Tried the famous Bamboo, Scout Camp Gee House and ATV trails among others. All of them are like Kiara x20, where everything is gnarlier, bigger and longer. Endos, arm pumps and brakes overheating is real.

If you love Kiara, Chiang Mai is a must go. Not much photos of the trails but sharing 2 photos here.


Steepest rock garden. Ever. This is at the ATV trail. At least 70 degrees steep, with big ass rocks.


The bottom of another long, fast, and steep drop with big roots and ruts. Just hold on to the rear brake and hang on!
