Forbes MTB - Brisbane MTB Coaching, Hire and Tours

Organised a mates Buxs party here. Ben was great to deal with and with everyone having varying levels of experience, everyone was catered for. We all walked away with some new skills and smiles on our faces from a great day out.

Excellent bike rental experience. Rented two e-bikes to ride Gap Creek Reserve, which was about a 15 minute ride away. We rang last minute and Ben accommodated us by getting the bikes immediately from off site and sorting us out. Whole process was easy and we had a phenomenal day on the trails. Thanks Ben

Ben and Forbes MTB came to the rescue in a last minute decision over the Xmas break to hire a duel suspension mtb for 3 days. Communication was great and I was on the bike on trails within an hour of initial phone call. The bike was a Focus Jam and was great riding for Gap Creek Reserve - Rocket frog and Dingo trails. Samford green and blue trails. Look forward to the next time. Highly recommend.Matt

Highly recommend eMTB hire & shuttleI hired an eMTB for 3 days to ride the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and a round trip shuttle.Ben is very honest and makes things with care.I was a little nervous because it was my 1st time to visit this trail and actually I am a tourist from overseas (Japan), however, he always response rapidly and precisely with full of hospitality.I felt relieved very much and kept travelling with fun.eMTB was superb and high quality.The bike had half a battery left even 70km riding (although it depends on your choice of power).I highly recommend his service for all riders, including foreign tourists like me.Thank you so much!

Great equipment and no matter how hard you try you won't find an easier rental experience. Bike showed up setup and ready to ride, even sent out with a multi tool and spare tubes! Bottle cages, helmets, gloves, all included. The focus ebike performed flawlessly. The gap creek reserve trails were fun to lap for big berm flow and the pipeline is not to be missed for seasoned riders.

Ben is a legend. I'm a mountain biker and wanted to get my 8 YO daughter taught the right way. I booked a couple of sessions with Ben and he did amazing things for her confidence and her skills.After the first session she was buzzing with how much more confident she was with all the basics and had ridden harder trails than she had done before, and after the second session we had done a full length of Rocket Frog and we can now start riding the mountain together.Ben is the perfect balance of fun, gentle and nudging/pushing for the kids.My mates and I are going to book some adult session with him ASAP.Hope he's as kind to us ;-)(update - It's 2 years on and Amelia does Ben's clinics every holidays. She absolutely loves them. Can't rate him highly enough)

Ben took myself and 9 work colleagues out into the bush on fantastic bikes.His instruction was precis and his relaxed demeanor struck the perfect balance for a teacher and guide.We had a great time and would highly recommend a tour with him.

We had a fantastic ride day, with Ben leading our group of 10.Ben made this a very enjoyable experience from the initial enquiry through prompt correspondence to the actual ride day.Would highly recommend this as a team building exercise for any company

Edited Review - Went again this year in 2022, on the 20th of February. It was just as much fun, if not more! Awesome trails, excellent assistance and tutoring and fantastic bikes available. Professional service and I can not stress enough how much fun it was. Absolutely worth doing and highly recommend for people of all skill levels.--- Original Review --Had a bike tour and morning out with Ben and a group of people from work - it was an incredible morning with great fun. Ben was super helpful, provided some coaching tips and showed us through a bunch of different trails at the Gap Creek reserve.It was a fantastic day and a ton of fun. Hire bikes were also amazing, in great condition and nice and high spec. Perfect way to spend a Sunday morning.

Recently did a 2 hour MTB skills course with Ben. Excellent value. Ben starts with bike/suspension set up before getting an appreciation of your current skill level.He's very effective at identifying skilling needs and I found his communication and teaching of skills to be great.I came away with a number of areas to work on, and clear instructions on what I need to do. I'll be back for more once I've progressed.
