Bike Holidays in Asia - grades explained?

You will see that we use biking ‘grades’ on many of our adventure itineraries as well as providing an approximate time of each days activities. These are provided to help guests choose a suitable standard of holiday for their ability. The following is an explanation of each of these bike grades. However, if you have any concerns or queries on a certain trip, or a particular day, then please feel free to ask your consultant.

Please note: We offer a completely bespoke bike holiday service. This means that we will create an itinerary to suit the standards and wishes of each participant.
