Kent Ridge <strong>MTB</strong> Trail<br />
The Kent Ridge <strong>MTB</strong> trail is located along Pasir<br />
Panjang Rd off South Buona Vista Road and along Vigilante<br />
Drive. Kent Ridge <strong>MTB</strong> trail is a technically challenging 2km+<br />
loop of singletrack and a separate flowy and fun Super D line.<br />
Maintained by the Ride Brothers community, the trail has seen<br />
numerous improvements over the years and it remains as one<br />
of the most challenging places to ride. There have been several<br />
National XC & Downhill <strong>MTB</strong> race events held there, and it<br />
played host to the last Red Bull Dark Knights DH race in 2011.<br />
The Super D line is super fun, and the only thing that might kill it<br />
is the steep climb up Vigilante Drive and back to the start of the<br />
trail. Other than that, we love this place!<br />
Regular trail days are also held over at Kent Ridge to<br />
battle the constant erosion and to maintain and build sustainable<br />
trails for all skill levels.<br />
Located at the hilly ridges of Pasir Panjang off South<br />
Buona Vista Road, Kent ridge is a technically challenging,<br />
2km <strong>plus</strong> loop of singletrack. It also has a Northshore style ride<br />
feature. There have been several National XC & Downhill <strong>MTB</strong><br />
race events held there, and it played host to the last Red Bull<br />
Dark Knights DH race.<br />
It is not a highly frequented trail perhaps due to it being<br />
a short, isolated loop, and recent trail conditions have been<br />
dismal. One could pretty much have the whole trail to himself<br />
even on a weekend.<br />
Due to erosion over the years, certain sections of the<br />
trail have seen considerable wear. There are recent volunteer<br />
efforts, namely by riding group RideBrothers, and ACS(I)<br />
school, which have adopted.<br />
