CHI MA WAN MISSION | Mountain Biking Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Lantau Island is synonymous with Hong Kong's international airport and Disneyland... and there's some pretty good mountain biking there too! Today we head out to Lantau's Chi Ma Wan, a classic coastal trail loop with a remarkable amount of black and double-black features - both uphill and downhill.
PS: Watch out for 'Harry Potter' on the trail!
*We visited under the invitation of HM Lim, a fellow Singaporean and purveyor of fine trails who is currently overseeing trail-building in the Hong Kong SAR. Our thanks goes out to HM as well as Nick Alexander from Cross Country HK for their guidance during our riding there.

The trail in its entirety is rated a single black... and for good reason! Tech-galore - both uphill and downhill :o

[@lookloke3553]

When see the amount of rocks and boulders.... I already sweating in an aircon room. Respect! If can know what PSI for the tyres with such terrain?
Ride safe! Great video!

[@rohaizatulanuar1579]

I'll probably endo at the stairs even before reaching the trail...

[@RawEpics]

Rohaizatul Anuar 😮 stairs is the final boss before the reward of the trails! 🤤

[@edwinw3891]

Feeling Socal's vibe here. All those shakin'; hope no one riding carbon rims; suggest check whether wheels still true. Nick wearing his grad gown as poncho :) Btw, why did you take frt wheels off in the MTR?

[@RawEpics]

Edwin W I’m using We Are One Composites rims (#weareonecomposites 🤘🏼!) and they have been solid and true so far, and very reliable... yeah it’s a requirement for taking bikes aboard the MTR: a unique experience for sure

[@FalcoBikes]

@@RawEpics question-- what if you ride a Cannondale lefty? Takes a lot of time to take off the front wheel (and front brake, etc.).

[@alvinting7423]

which trail is the most difficult that ever tried ? chesnut/BT or trail in HK and AU ?
On every trail you do specially in SG, have you encounter any snakes ?

[@RawEpics]

Alvin Ting I would say BC, Canada has some of the toughest - and also the most well-constructed - trails I have ever had the chance to ride... gonna head back there soon!

[@RawEpics]

And no trouble with snakes so far... even though we’ve seen our fair share

[@nocash.6207]
