SaveBig Island is not known for its well-developed MTB trails. Due to a lot of private land and initiatives against the spread of invasive species, it is difficult to legally get trails permitted for bicycle use.
Yet, what Big Island trails lack in the features-and-berms department, they most certainly make up for with their diverse terrains. Here, you’ll find wet and rooty technical climbs in the forest as well as lava rock gardens as far as the eye can see. There are gravel rides along the coast and rough, jagged rock epics down volcanoes. And, there are 50 mile stretches that take you through the paniolo country with rolling green hills and pastures.
