We had a great time on this trip, led by James who was good at adapting his speed to our abilities.
We were pleased that it was mostly downhill with a few more technical parts but nothing too tricky so we were able to go fast!
The bike were good quality - full suspension and robust enough to handle anything. Trailhead also provided knee & elbow pads and helmets before we left the city.
We were also fed really well! The tour includes a drink and snack at a coffee farm as well as a nice lunch at a relaxing restaurant at the end. We would 100% recommend this trip!

Great experience, Kom was an excellent guide and while Bon (It was Bon, I hope?) had to branch off with another rider, he dispensed invaluable advice about my brake lever settings that pretty much saved my ride. Knowledgeable, capable and great conversationalists in English, the team is highly, highly recommended.
They're also adaptable to riders' needs, and will alter the route as needed. I know it is already stated, but for the best experience I encourage participants to have above average bike handling skills and a bit of an appetite for climbing (again, they appear to be very adaptable). Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect and appreciated the challenge of the ride. Kom was very supportive and they will not rush anyone. Making it in the end was incredibly rewarding.
I do aim to be back, and will definitely hit up Trailhead again. Big thumbs up.

Two of us did a full day of mountain biking and another day bespoke hiking, which was a climb up Pha Sam Liam mountain in Mae Taeng. I found Trailhead the best adventure activity organizer of any I've experienced during my 30 years living in Thailand. In addition to a superb product offering and quality equipment and provisions, their staff are the most customer-focused of any in the business. Several guides were dispatched on each activity to ensure there was one of them accompanying group members with varying degrees of speed and ability. They quickly assessed our skill and comfort levels and tailored the experiences completely around our abilities and preferences. Kom and James led our biking day; Lek, Vivi, and Kib led our hiking day. All of them are completely fluent in English, answered all queries with informed views on the ecosystems, and were warm and positive and made the events fun and rewarding. Extras like hot brewed mountain coffee on the trail and tasty trail lunches made us feel pampered. We also enjoyed participating in clothing distribution to the children of the hill village at the start of our hike - Trailhead contributes meaningfully to the communities in the areas they operate. Best outdoor adventure providers in the business - start here before all others.

I was so happy to find real trail heads in Chiang Mai. The tour was super fun and the description accurate. Guide took a lot of care, checked on the condition of the bike and individual settings, so that I got the most out of the ride. He shot some great photos and videos too.

First time I’ve been mountain biking and it was spectacular. The views, interacting with local people on stops, the thrill of conquering the trail? It was an experience of a lifetime. Lek and Kom were steady, informative and fun. I highly recommend any tour with them.

This was an amazing day, definitely one of the highlights of my time in Thailand. The tour guides are friendly and passionate about bikes and exploring the local area. I made a spur of the moment decision to do some biking, and they were able to accommodate me at (almost) the last minute to go with a scheduled group the next day. The logistics are super smooth ... they handle everything for you, down to equipment rental and water/food along the way. Technically, this course is challenging at times...I'm not an experienced mountain biker and it was beyond my abilities at a few different points. That said, Lek and Dan were also great at teaching technique and giving tips along the way.

This company and the people who work here were great! Buffalo Soldier was a great challenging ride for us. We got to ride through some neat villages and stop at a local coffee shop. Shoutout to our tour guide, Kom!!! He was super friendly and knowledgeable. He also took a ton of photos and videos of us riding. Overall great excursion to do in Chiang Mai.

The buffalo soldier trip was amazing, great way of seeing the country side and having loads of fun going downhill in a great full suspension MTB. You do all that while still doing a great workout going uphill XD. The Trail Head team is also the best!!
