      Ben Forbes & Forbes MTB Courses
      Forbes MTB has provided a great learning platform for learning the basics and beyond when wanting to MTB, I've had my son attend the 2 day courses for 3 years now progressing from a 6 year old o now riding as a 9 year old but in the 10-13 age group.....a testament to the skills he has taken on and his confidence he grown to the point I now take him out with me a great deal more, and as they say kids eventually overtake their parents........

      Best MTB coach and bike mechanic around
      Ben is incredibly experienced and offers great bike servicing, rental and coaching services. I've hired bikes from him and had my bikes serviced by him, he's always been great.

      Great ride made easy
      Ben is an awesome guy to go for a tour with. Great time riding, upskilling, and chatting. He took care of everything, all I had to do was wait outside the hotel to be picked up.

      What a great way to throw your team off a mountain (on a bike)
      What a superb day for our team. it was a fantastic way for the team to bond through a challenging experience, well led and by the very experienced Ben Forbes. I cant recommend him and his team enough, we will definitely go nuts on a bike again.

      Easy, friendly and super fun bike hire day
      We had a brief trip to Brisbane and wanted to make the most of our last day with some MTB riding. We hired two full suspension bikes for a day and rode around the Gap Creek Bike trails. Ben was super helpful with organising this even though we needed a shuttle from the city. Great communication and really friendly. We were then able to drop off the bikes and get an uber from the bike park straight to the airport - well worth it! Highly recommend getting in touch with Forbes MTB for bike hire, tours or coaching. Wish we had more time but keen for another trip!

      Easy EMTB Hire
      EMTB hire from Ben was easy to arrange pickup and drop off. The bike was just what was needed for MTB trails & the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Will definitely hire a bike again.

      Great biking experience
      Ben kindly agreed to loan us rental bikes at very short notice at a reasonable price for the day. The mountain bikes were in good working order and comfortable to ride. Ben ensured we were matched with the correct sized bike and set up. He supplied helmets, gloves, water bottles and basic repair kit. He was also very flexible on the timing of the collection and return of the bikes. We had a lovely day out cycling on the coast and Forbes MTB is located not too far from a train station so we were able to pick up and drop off the bikes with ease.Thank you for a very nice way to spend a day.

      Family fun on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
      We hired two quality adult mountain bikes through Forbes MTB to ride the Fernvale to Lowood section of the BNE Valley Rail Trail. The bikes were for me and my older (and taller!) brother. The equipment was great but the best thing about dealing with Forbes MTB was the excellent service - friendly, knowledgeable most of all flexible and patient. It was our first time doing the BNE Valley Rail Trail and we had an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, so we didn't know how long it might take us. Ben was very kind about changing the pick-up times for the bikes. I would definitely use Forbes MTB again!

      Quality MTB coaching
      Ben did a great job getting our bikes tweaked and understanding our needs and skill levels. Provided us with the knowledge to understand the essential technique required for body position and cornering so we could go away and practice before coming back for the next session. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve their MTB skills now matter what level your at.

    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

    Had a quick weekend catch up with old friend in Brisbane and decided we’d do the Brisbane rail trail. Forbes MTB made it easy as can be. A few calls to organise the gear we’d need then met at the airport and we were whisked out to the far end of the trail as soon as i landed. Great gear we enjoyed riding and we were picked up at the other end a couple of days later. Very friendly and Organised set up. Definitely recommend Ben and his team if you’re visiting brisbane and keen on some mountain biking or the rail trail.

    I rented one of Ben's full suspension bikes for a day riding on Mt. Cootha. The bike Ben provided was absolutely brilliant. It was a quality bike and was perfectly maintained. Ben was great too. He was very attentive to what I needed and was responsive to all my questions. You couldn't ask for anyone better to rent a bike from and given my experience with Ben I bet he would be a great tour guide and teacher too. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.

    Had a fantastic day hiring a bike from Forbes MTB. The team really took the time to make sure the bike was set up correctly, ensured I knew how to get to the trail network. They were great with recommendations of trails to ride based on my ability. The bike also came with a pump and spare tube which I thought was an awesome extra. I had such a blast out on the trails I ended up riding for four hours! Would definitely go back when I next visit Brisbane

    Hiring the e-bikes from Forbes MTB was a great experience. The bikes were of excellent quality and Ben was very happy to throw anything in that would make our ride more enjoyable e.g. a pannier and padded seat covers (very important for us novices). The overall experience was great and would definitely recommend Forbes MTB for anyone looking for e-bikes hire or the other services that Ben has to offer.

    A great opportunity even for experienced riders! Didn't have to waste time reading trail maps and trying to figure out trail directions. Scotty was a pro at lining up great lap after great lap. Would highly recommend for everyone from those looking to learn biking basics to those who just want a great trail guide or riding partner.

    We needed bikes for a day in Brisbane recently. We chose Forbes MTB, and were so happy that we ended up renting on a different day as well!

    The bikes were superbly maintained - even better shape than my own bike. Ben prides himself on having top-quality gear.

    There were loads of options for where and how to pick up the bikes - Ben wants to make it easy and efficient to hit the trails! The options are pretty reasonable.

    Ben has a great sense of humor! Friendly and fun. We wanted to have a coaching session, although time didn't permit that.

    Everything went well and we would definitely use Forbes MTB again on our next trip!!

    Although I have been riding road bikes for sometime, I had no experience in riding a mountain bike. Ben was very understanding. I told him what I wanted to do and he provided me with a mountain bike that suited my needs. The bike's set up was spot on, the gearing changed smoothy and the brakes worked equally well. Ben is very personable and if he can he will help you to have a great experience. Would highly recommend Ben Forbes MTB.

    Was looking for a way to get on a mountain bike while visiting Australia, this was the full package, pick up and drop off, great bikes to ride, he even switched the brakes to American style for us! My partner and I had a great time, got some great tips, rode some cool trails, learned how to use an e-bike to maximize riding time. Ben was awesome and chill.

    My brother and I rented eMTBs from Ben and spent an amazing day exploring the trails around Mt Coot-tha.

    Ben was friendly and helpful, adjusting the bikes to our statures and providing tips. The bikes were great and easy to use and still had plenty of juice after our 43 km ride and 1200 m of elevation. I cannot imagine completing the same journey on a normal push bike.

    You don't need to have any MTB experience, just be confident pedaling a bike.

    I would definitely do this again and I've been recommending it to all my friends.
