Maui mountain biking is a fun adventure to try out while you’re visiting the island (or even if you’re a local looking to try something new). This activity is riding specially designed bikes on trails that go through forests, hills, and volcanic terrain on the island of Maui.
At Krank Cycles, we help riders of all levels enjoy Maui mountain biking safely and confidently.
For new riders, seasoned riders, and every skill level in between, we are here to make sure you have the most amazing experience enjoying the trails of the island of Maui. Plus get some exercise in while you’re doing it.
What Is Maui Mountain Biking?
Maui mountain biking is different from “maui biking” because it means using mountain bikes to ride on off-road trails around the island. These trails range from easy and smooth to steep and rocky.
Mountain biking is a fun way to connect with the outdoors and experience the island differently. You don’t only see the island. You get to experience the island. We believe that getting a little dirty is what adventure is all about.
Why Choose Maui for Mountain Biking?
Maui has a variety of trails for every rider. You can find easy rides in the forest or challenging climbs on volcanic hills.
Here’s why Maui is great for mountain biking:
-
Trails for beginners to experts
-
Beautiful, diverse scenery
-
Mild weather year-round
-
Access to both coastal and inland routes
At Krank Cycles, we know the best trails and the right gear to help you enjoy them.
